[Fortunately for Xion, Jason happens to be awake when she arrives at the clinic. He's sitting in his bed, in fact, legs swung over the edge as he stares at the floor. His head snaps up when she calls his name, suddenly alert despite how alarmingly pale he is at the moment — and then he tries to speak.
"Tries" is the keyword here.
Nothing intelligible comes out, of course. The tongue is vital when it comes to verbal communication, and without it? Jason's still intact vocal cords are pretty darn useless, as far as he's concerned. Xion will get to witness the exact moment his face pinches, remembering what happened this morning, and then Jason will look back down to the ground.
Hi, Xion. Bye, Xion. He would ask to be left alone for a while, but he's not feeling up to charades at the moment.
