"Well, I'm doing fine now, you certainly shouldn't be worrying about me, that's for sure.
"I did perhaps have a tougher time in captivity, but... I didn't suffer such grave physical injuries certainly. And I'm still in the service..."
He frowns, looking directly at Clark. "So what exactly made you accept the medical discharge? I know you're in rough shape now but I figured if there were a way you could get yourself back into the fight you'd take it."
