For as fierce and quick a he was a few minutes ago, Linden's completely passive and docile now, blinking dazedly as the Peacekeepers collect his "weapon" and bag it as evidence. Following the sudden adrenaline surge, he almost feels like he could sleep, following one extreme chemical rush with a dramatic crash.
"Yes," he responds dully to the Peacekeeper as he's pulled up and prodded toward the elevator. "I sure did."
The medic is flustered with Jason's agitated state, and tries his best to finish examining the slice across the other man's face. "Modern medicine that's proven to work isn't placebos," he pleads. "You want to prevent infection and heal without a scar, don't you? If you do end up with one, I absolutely would press charges," he adds in an undertone as the elevator doors slide shut.
Where Linden is taken to be processed and admitted overnight to jail, he's compliant, almost eerily so. He's too tired to put up a fight, still kind of unclear on what happened, and he has to ask several times before he seems to have pieced it together. He's tested for drugs, but his system, while objectively unhealthy, has been clean for the past few weeks. It's decided that he'll be locked up and under psychiatric observation overnight, and during that time, District 6 will be short a Mentor and in the process of gathering many new and doubtless unwanted rumors.
