[Yusuke is thoroughly engrossed in his searching, picking up plants that look like likely candidates (ie, ones that seem unique), including one small, easily-missable transparent plant that all get carefully folded up in a cloth he was carrying on him.
He narrows his eyes as he glances Damian's way, his head cocking.
...It doesn't look like a light injury, so he says:] You do not have to help me, especially if you have an injury. [He won't ask where he got it but homie... don't hurt yourself k]
[This town is just one frustration on top of another frustration. Damian continues looking until Yusuke speaks, and then he stops to glance up quickly. It'd be stupid to try to clutch his collar together like he's some pariah, so he doesn't.]
I'm fine. [For now...] It only inconveniences me at night.
[There. Now Yusuke can run screaming or attack him or whatever else Damian thinks people will do when it comes to finding out someone else is cursed.]
[It takes a second, but Yusuke's eyes widen a little as the meaning clicks.]
Ah.
[And he looks, determined, down at the ground once more, rising to check out a patch right before him, picking up several likely candidates.] ...I must find this plant quickly, so that we can make a cure for you and the others.
[Wow. Damian is beginning to hate how wrong he is about everyone in this entire town. He expects them to act one way, and they all turn around and prove him wrong. Every. Time.
He frowns as Yusuke returns to searching with renewed determination, but it's a soft frown if anything. Gently, he sighs, understanding this kind of stubbornness personally.] Calm down. You won't be any help if you rush through it, grabbing whatever.
I'll help you get some, and then you can take them back to see which one of them are right.
I am calm, [Yusuke replies.] I know that I cannot afford to rush blindly in... but I would not want to leave it up too much to chance. I would like to look into every option.
