Wayne turned in the direction of the voice and grinned.
"Ernie! Wow. It's good to see you too." He hugged back, though a bit reluctantly - he'd have to get used to the close physical contact with his peers again. At least the non-sexual kind.
"You look great," he continued, gesturing to his outfit. "Lemme guess, Justin helped. Well, it's perfect."
Wayne touched Ernie's arm to indicate the direction they should walk. "I can't believe you still haven't had McDonald's yet. And if you have, just...don't tell me. Give me this moment. So, Justin tells me you're a healer now? How's that?"
As long as they kept the conversation about Ernie. He wanted to know what'd been going on in the magical world, and Wayne didn't need to hear his own story again. For a while, at least.
