Miles Edgeworth assaulted me. Apparently he's a telekinetic.

[ Some surprises (like that) suck. Some surprises, like Severus immediately and flatly copping to exactly what happened, are at least useful. ] I'd like my injuries to be looked at and documented, but I'm going to ask that you keep it in confidence until I've decided how to handle it.

[ Covering his ass, basically. Severus is holding himself carefully but he can walk and stand upright without wobbling, and he can communicate. Whether this is because his injuries aren't that bad or because he's just used to forcing himself into functionality despite extreme conditions, who knows. Well actually-- Peter might know, just a little, considering he's already seen Severus sit calmly through nearly splinching his arm off. Whatever. ]

I was thrown into a wall with a solid force and hit it back-first. I'm having difficulty breathing without pain and it's focused here, [ Severus recites this information in a dull tone, pointing out where he expects bruised or fractured ribs to be. ] I also hit the back of my hard enough to have left me disoriented for about two and a half minutes immediately after.
