My friend offered me somewhere to stay, but thank you it's very kind of you!

[He offers a bright smile, even if he has to stifle more coughing, bone-jarring coughing.]

I don't need the hospital. [He shakes his head, sure he inhaled a lot of smoke, and it is making his lungs burn and protest, and with the chemicals, it kinda stings, but he'll be fine by morning.]

What? No! Of course not! I was just trying to come up with a better cleaning agent to use on bl-stubborn stains. [An innocent smile.]
