[And it might take him over a quarter of that hour to get there, but Nick does show up, as promised. The last month wasn't particularly kind to anyone, and he's no exception; at least most of his damage is hidden under his shirt, though it's sporting a new, faded spot from where he was bleeding coolant all over it. He'll go pick up a new one when he's got something better than a patch job holding his pipes together.
Anything else that wounded him is more emotional than physical. Seeing Maketh's mangled corpse on the floor of the Guard HQ, Henry's beside her, Shadow's absolute rage as they were faced with some duplicate of Tua... it brings back a lot of bad memories for Nick, some that aren't entirely his, and some he hopes fade eventually.
Unfortunately, some stains are just tough to wash out. His shirt isn't the only testament to that.
Nick beelines for her when he arrives, his cane thudding on the floor to announce his arrival.]
