[He's certain he can he just hasn't ventured to look since he likes to blend it himself.]

I'll manage to make it soon. I've been a bit lazy to be honest.

[He tilts his head as Eric talks. He was concerned but he wasn't going to ask - after all what if he just wanted to forget being sick for a while?]

[magnetic_magpie]

Uhonana made this blend for me, so I can't cay I blame you.

[His jaw ticked a little.]

I'm recovering. Not 'better' in terms of well, and there was a week that was exceptionally difficult but my injuries were healed.

[ochitashinigami]

Is she the one that healed you? Excuse me, but I thought there was some magic used.

[amongthethorns]

She seems very skilled and capable.

[He smiles somewhat apologetically reaching to touch Eric's arm. It's gentle but firm and he gives him that subtle look the one that means he's treading on thin ice. Oh he understands Eric's curious and that, yes, that's all for his own sake but there's no reason to push and put the good doctor out. Well, might as well dive-in then, after a sip of tea. His voice is gentle when he speaks leaning slightly into Eric's side.]

I think perhaps he would rather talk about something - anything else, Eric. Television, the weather, books...

[magnetic_magpie]

I had a very rough week I'd rather not revisit, but no, she's not the one who healed my injuries that time. She has on other occasions.

[It wasn't tense but it was final in tone.]

How have you been settling in in the Port?

[ochitashinigami]

[Eric sighs and leans against Alan, but turns his head towards Magneto. Alan is, of course, right.]

I understand. I'm sorry you've been having difficulty.

Um

[He turns towards Alan now, smirking a little.]

How HAVE you been settling in?

[amongthethorns]

[At least Eric's not going to push the issue like he would if it were Alan and for that the brunet is grateful. Just sipping his tea happily almost choking at that smirk. As if he needs to ask, honestly. Just he'll just adjust his glasses and lower his cup.]

It's been going fairly well. I'm adjusting a little bit at a time. Still feels a bit different but I'm certain it always will but there's a bit of home in there someplace so that makes it okay.

[A laugh and smile.]

I think I'll get along fine.

My brain kinda died for this sorry it took so long!

[magnetic_magpie]

I am glad you are finding it more easy. It's always better if you have someone you know here than arriving along.

[He doesn't comment on the body language between the two of them. But he notes it.]

It's ok!

[ochitashinigami]

"I don't know what I would have done if I hadn't known some people here. Of course, the Doctor here was the first person to actually talk sense.

Happens to me -all- the time.

[amongthethorns]

I wish others could be so fortunate. I know for the first few minutes before I saw Eric and knew who it was I was terrified, already wrapped in the grips of an attack and being scared only made it worse.

[He shook his head banishing that thought away, smiling. A tilt of his head as he reaches to adjust his glasses slightly with a finger.]

I don't think he was the only one to talk sense but maybe he was the only one to put it in a way you're used to. I'm glad to see someone else can manage that.

[He laughed softly, pressing his fingers against his lips. He's looking at the doctor.]

Thanks!

[magnetic_magpie]

[Magneto smiled, a quirk of his lips and cheek indicating a silent laugh.]

I wasn't really able to walk when I arrived, friends came to pick me up - luckily it was day time or I might have been badly injured. As it is, I learned to talk people through their first few hours here. Eric is hardly the first.

[Although he, Mary, and Frances had been the most interest he'd taken in those who where not from his world and only just arrived.]

[ochitashinigami]

That's one of the reasons I became a greeter. Arriving here... is difficult.

That and to watch for you, Alan.
