[He gives up on trying to diminish the problem and sighs deeply, his face twisting into a pained grimace as he does so- part of it's out of disappointment in himself, and part of it's from the fact that his ribs are still pretty messed up to the point that even breathing too suddenly hurts like hell. He pulls his palms over his face, deeply exasperated.]
No, I- ...I know, I just thought it'd be a bad look for me to show up covered in muddy hoofprints on our big day. [Despite this clarification, his tired eyes still look heavy with self-disappointment.] ...and I... I shouldn't be acting like I expect you to be used to it, either... it's not fair to think you should just be okay with me breaking my bones on a regular basis.
[Winston takes Ray's hand in his own, squeezing it softly as a reminder of his presence. He still hasn't had the chance to forget about being told they fell into the ocean without him, here, but he doesn't like hearing Ray undercut himself.]
...sure doesn't feel like nothing now. [He laughs weakly- a sharp, pained inhale cutting him off midway.]
[Ray looks even more concerned at Winston's pained inhale.]
Okay I'm bringing you inside and patching you up. You're also getting Ray Stantz's patented hot chocolate using Gogoat milk. The milk has healing qualities so it should help any pain you have!
[Or he could go to the hospital but why do that.
Ray carries Winston back into their room (Speed Racer floating slowly behind them and staring at them through the window), and places Winston gently on the bed.]
Now you stay here, I'm gonna get some bandages and ointment!

I, uh. Wow, I really messed this one up, huh.

C'mon Win, you're a wonderful partner and I love you, don't talk like that!
[Ray then looks a little uncomfortable and looks away.]
Besides... I'll admit I didn't always make the smartest choices myself before you arrived, this is nothing.
