[ The thing that might be most noticable to Gorgug about Fabian right now is that Fabian seems.. well, the same as ever. Which usually wouldn't be a surprising thing, but considering everything that happened, and considering the heaviness that still exists within Gorgug after it all, it might be a little more surprising. A whole lot of things happened between the two of them, after all.
And yet.. It's just Fabian. It's Fabian treating him the way he always would. If there's any slight difference compared to the usual, it's that the half-elf is being a little more gentle. Helping with the little things. When Gorgug sits up, Fabian helps to put a pillow behind the other's back to support Gorgug sitting him. When he hands him the bowl of cereal, his hand lingers on top of the other's hand while he's in the middle of handing it over just a few seconds more than absolutely necessary. And despite the heavy mood in Gorgug's room, Fabian is smiling warmly. First silently watching Gorgug attempt a first bite, but then straightening up a little and speaking up when the other asks him that question. ]
Yeah.
[ Maybe the real answer is not a full 'yeah', but.. you know. The bad thing was taken care of. Everyone snapped out of it. There's a lot to be cleaned up in the meantime - both literally and figuratively - and Fabian's body still feels sore from that final battle with Gorgug, despite Riz's slapping him with some first aid right after it happened, as soon as they were sure Gorgug was alive and safe.
But right now Fabian just wants to reassure his friend that everything is alright. That Gorgug doesn't have to worry about anything outside of this room until he's in the right shape to do so again. ]
Everything is back to normal now. There's a lot of messes to be cleaned up, but.. you know how people here are. They'll take care of it. [ It's 'they' and not 'we' because Fabian has his own mess to clean up, okay.
He has to take care of Gorgug. Fabian is fully intending to not stray from the other's side during these early days of recovery, if he can help it. ]
The Ball's fine. [ Because he knows Gorgug would worry about that. ] I'm fine. I honestly think everyone managed to get through that without any permanent damage.
