[he's a little muddled on some of the messages here, but he gets the important ones. mostly it's confusion about why poe would WANT to stop him hanging out, but that's something he'll work out later, when he's not so worn out.]
No. No, neither of you do. That was stupid. Bad thing to say. [even worse; he doesn't know how much of it he meant. knows he can't in good faith ask poe to just forget about it. what an insult that would be.] I have no excuse for saying that stupid shit.
[he doesn't know what he wants or how he feels, but that doesn't excuse anything. it barely even explains it.]
I don't really know... how to fix that one, honestly.
If I thought it was something to fix I wouldn't have said that there was no point talking about it, [ He pointed out bluntly. ]
You're in the fucking hospital, Arch. Who knows how many drugs your on. I don't even know if you're going to remember this conversation. So just - just get some fucking rest, will you.
I need to cool off. [ He hadn't been kidding, that he didn't want to say something he'd regret. He knew his temper was short, and he knew he said things he didn't want to say. ]
And you need to rest. So I'm going to let you do that.
[ He walked to the door. He didn't really want to leave, but he didn't want to stay either - his feelings too muddled and conflicted to be of any help. ]
Just rest and then come home.
[ He didn't wait for a reply, he just slipped away. ]

[very cool, hurting his friend like this. at least poe told him, he supposes. didn't have to just guess from a brief look.]
Being here doesn't negate anything. But-- if you want to go after this, then I don't blame you.
[the implication being that he can stay, but archie doesn't want to risk accidentally using his situation to manipulate.]

[it's clear in his tone that no part of him is actually angry at poe.]
I'll... be here.
