( he's tired, he's miserable, and still the mention of the little spirit trying to herd Misty around earns a weary ghost of an almost-smile. he's not surprised, the spirit has been growing more and more bold of late. instead of the easily startled frightened thing he'd found in the forest, it's starting to be a bit more outgoing and on some occasions, even demanding. it's nice to watch it grow more and more independent, considering when he'd found Ivy it had been so terrified it had lingered crying on the cold ground alone for hours until it trusted him enough to come closer and hold it.
the sad excuse for a positive facial expression is short-lived, with the inquiry as to how he's doing. there's no point in insisting he's fine, Misty would just know he's not. it's not really Matt Murdock style to admit he's upset, though, he's more the type to silently struggle for as long as possible and then cry because someone had the audacity to be nice to him. so he can't just tell her he was out in the woods for two days looking for a teenager that was likely long gone before they even left. that there was no sign of him, that at this point it's most likely there never will be a sign of him.
it's too late, and he's already gone. )
We didn't find anything. ( that explains his energy level (or lack there of) and his mood, all in a single sentence. how practical! )
