[Dixon's spent a good deal of time lurking around in the woods, telling people he thinks he has the flu in a hopeless attempt to try and cover up what an obvious wreck he is without booze. The worst seems to finally be over; the shakes are gone, the fever broken, the nausea subsided. His heart chugs along at a normal pace. The absence of symptoms doesn't make him feel renewed so much as burned out, the same way someone would feel after a particularly nasty stomach flu.
At least his face is fixed, mostly, the burns welded back into healed scarring by Robbie's magic.
For whatever reason, being inside the temple only seems to make him agitated, so he keeps his time in the building limited. Which means a lot of wandering around the woods, listening to Shannon and Alannah Myles and Maria Callas on his iPod (82% battery) to avoid really thinking about anything. He might have given Revan her space, but he's too busy in his own little musical world to pay attention to the crack of sticks against a tree. He stumbles on her staff-hunting entirely accidentally and obliviously. He pops his earbuds out.]
You trying to get something out of your system?
[That's, nine times out of ten, his justification for hitting people things. For all he knows, she's beating the hell out of that tree because it's one of those doing-better ways to avoid taking it out on someone else.]
