"I got hit by lightning!" Nitou looks down at that yarn and limps over to pick it up. He's sore all over and not moving nearly as well as he might under normal conditions, but he's not about to admit this. "It got kinda wild out there, yeah."

And, because Merlyn's got a lot of magic going there, he glances down at his stomach as he stoops down to pick up the yarn. There's a hissed whisper at it, too. "Dude, shut up!" For the Chimera in there is loud and hungry and has realized that the old man is just full of magic.

Nitou makes a face as he tries tossing the yarn back up to Merlyn. It's half confusion at knitting at a time like this, and half pain because his injuries still hurt.
