"Sallie's been helping." He manages to pull himself to his feet, however, using the chair, entirely regardless of the broken finger. Once upright he sways a little.
(Mostly he is not feeling too bad. He adores Sallie and likes Annie a lot, the clinic is warm, this is not a bad place to be. Also neither Mordred nor his mother seem to be tracking him down any more. Things are okay! Totally good!)
Catching the sway, though, he does turn to Annie and say, firmly, "I'm not drunk. I know I'm not. Don't have, you know, none of that, can't spend money on it, not wasting anything. Yeah?"
