"Okay," Alan said, feeling like he was using every second word to just try and get a handle on the situation. "Okay, then I'm going to find you something to eat as well," he said as he made her tea, one hand checking the cabinet by his head for food that was easy and quick. Maybe it was just going to be toast. No one could have anything against toast.
When he put the tea down in front of her - and one in front of where he would be sitting soon - he pulled his phone out of his pocket. "I need to message Much. Don't want him coming home and getting surprised."
He could get toast happening first though, putting the bread into the toaster while he scrolled to his last messages with Much.

Today 6.34 PM
Heads up if you're coming home: Melpomene is at the apartment right now with Telos. Nothing's happening between us and I'm not having a breakdown, but she's left Apollo and she's scared and lost and needs someone to talk it through with.
When he'd sent it, Alan looked back up at Melpomene to check how she was doing, the kitchen starting to smell like toast.
