[If he were more aware of the world around him, he wouldn't accept that artful dodging of his question. In fact, he'd be irritated by it. He's in a pretty malleable state right now though, and he trusts Kaoru. He'll believe anything he says, though he won't actually absorb any of it. Hope you like repeating yourself, Kaoru, because he's going to have the same questions again later.
He'll find a sizeable bump on the back of Hikaru's head. It's not too big - his arm absorbed most of the impact - but it's definitely there, and definitely painful. If he touches it, Hikaru will hiss in pain and automatically try to pull his head away. But it's nowhere near as bad as it would have been if he hadn't landed on his arm, then shoulders, then head.
It takes him a long moment to get his brain to think, but he's got the answers.]
Ouran, Host Club. Why? [You crazy, Kaoru?] I'm not an alien or anything. [Just in case that's what he's checking. His voice is still softer than normal, and the shakiness is still evident, but it's getting a bit stronger. He'll take a few more sips of tea, as well; some part of him has recognised it as being helpful in some way. It's giving him something firm and tangible to anchor his focus on, so please don't take that cup away or he'll get get disoriented again.]
