[At least hearing Ezell's voice seems to mostly? snap him out of it? It might take a few more attempts, but the fog clears from his eyes like when you've been called on in class but you were daydreaming for the last 15 minutes. An innocent example for an undoubtedly less-innocent occurance that has left Flamebringer, well, a bundle of static and white noise.]
Ezell...? [Wheremst.] ...when the fuck did I get back here? This isn't the mansion, is it?
[ Oh, it's like... real bad, huh? Ezell very quietly takes his hand and pulls him over to one of the tables so he can have a seat, and then he goes upstairs for a brief moment so he can bring a first aid kit down. How many times is he gonna be fixing this man... ]
Do you... remember anything at all? What's the last thing you remember, Flamebringer? And, can you move your shirt for me a bit? Enough so I can dress that wound...
[It's real bad! He sits down, though, and starts working his shirt off.]
I went into the mansion. Sesa's ghost threw knives at me, which... yeah, can't say I'm mad about that. [He deserves it!] I went into some rooms in the mansion looking for that skeleton guy that's been bothering everyone all month, since he was sort of leading the charge, but I lost him along the way. While I was alone, some ghost popped up and started speaking in Lena's voice. Transformed into her and all that.
...
It attacked eventually. It kept transforming into people while I was trying to beat it to death. It was Sesa at one point, then Podenco, then... I don't remember. "Podenco" ran off, and I kept hearing voices from my past, and then next thing I knew I was here.
... [ Fortunately, it's not hard to dress a wound like this, but Ezell still does his best to make sure it's disinfected and well covered. Afterwards, though, he gently brushes Flamebringer's hair back and presses a kiss to his forehead. ]
My love... I think... [ ... Maybe it's better he doesn't relive that experience again. ] I think you should stay here for a few days. I know you want to help the Grove and the people here, but just for a few days, can you stay here with me...?
I’ll come with you for that. I just… I think, for a few days, rest is in order. I’m… worried about you, love. So much has happened this month, and I think just a few days to do nothing will do you some good.
Can you do that? I think maybe… it’ll help me, too. Ease of mind…
[But Terra also doesn't typically throw this at him, either. And, let's be real, when it's Rhodes Island his life is particularly cushy. He has a bad reputation, sure, but he can walk around the landship undisturbed and he only has to fight in battles he thinks are worth spilling blood over. He gets to occupy most of his time taking care of his plants. And maybe part of him, however unconsciously, has gotten used to the security of Rhodes Island.
This place is too much like Kazdel with its constant antics, and Flamebringer has only half-registered it.]
...You should also let me take you to the therapy building at some point. Even if you don't talk to anyone there, I'd like you to maybe do some of the activities. It might help take your mind off things and... there's books in there that I can look into as well. Maybe something that'll help.

...I still have to take care of the greenhouse, though.

I'm just so worried about you. And I... feel so guilty I wasn't there with you. Please just stay with me, so I can be there with you now.

[Noncommittal, but also he will do it for Ezell, if that's what Ezell wants.]
I've been there before. Mizuki keeps bringing up appointments or whatever, but I hung out there with Dipper once playing games.
