Peter thought he had a few minutes he could spare so he could visit with Mandy. He wanted to see how she was going without actually asking her as much. He thought he could fairly assess her attitude and emotions by having a short conversation with her. Sure she looked fine, but how was she really doing?
He sat in the chair next to her desk. "I'm busy," he said. "Work has been both exciting and exhausting these past few days. Did Healer Svindle tell you about little Nicky Bones?" Peter was still quite baffled by the entire situation, but he also found it rather hopeful.
"Other than that, I tried a new Thai restaurant last night. It was awful, and it gave me such horrible heartburn, I had to get out of bed and take something. Initially I thought it was a heart attack. Not going there again." He smiled at her.
