The fall could have hurt him much worse, he supposed. Regardless, his rear end was far from happy with him for that display of clumsiness. Visibly wincing, Gaara propped himself up onto his elbows, and finally released his tight grip on… whatever that had been. Oh… a Moogle was asking him if he was all right. Not Karura, fortunately, which meant she was still asleep in his residence.
And a stranger was addressing him, as well. Was this the person he had fallen into?
“I apologize for the inconvenience,” Gaara was quick to tell him, pale cheeks flushing with vivid embarrassment. How fortunate that none of his allies had been around to witness this easily-preventable fall. He didn’t want Naruto to think any less of him, after all. And if he received any obvious injuries, Luke might become upset with him, for opting to train on his own. At night, no less.
His lower muscles were aching, and he contemplated casting a healing spell… for a couple of seconds. But how weak would he appear, if he were to do that? Instead, he focused his attention on the stranger, and inquired candidly, “Have you been injured? I can heal you, if needed.”
