*smiles down the line at you* 'Course I did. He said he'd get down there to see you and the family, definitely. *will not, of course, mention the radical new look--will just let that be a surprise!* *and won't mention the thing about marrying one of your kids, either (two laughing spells is his limit)*
*scritches the back of his neck uncomfortably* I am sorry, I really don't mean to worry you. *chews the inside of his lip* I'm... well, I won't lie and say I'm fine. I'm still pretty sore, and Ecthelion's keeping me out of work, so I'm also stir-crazy. It's nothing you need to worry about, though, honestly. *pauses* Actually, I am calling for your help, but it's more of an advice thing. Do you know any good headshrinkers in my neck of the woods? (*and wow, that was a lot easier to say than he thought it would be*)
