Tobias gave Humphrey a small, grateful smile. "I have heard that a lot," he agreed, "but it's still appreciated." He took a sip of tea before continuing. "You may have heard about the incident...the car crash I was involved in...New Years of 2003. I was in a coma for a week and a half, and the doctors were rather sure I would never walk again. Of course, I'm a stubborn bastard, so I proved them wrong. Only have to use this thing when my leg gives me particular trouble."
He smiled slightly. "Melinda and Grace were both killed in the accident...because some fool couldn't call a cab after he had too much to drink. I suppose I'm rather lucky I made it out of it arguably in one piece." He looked awkward for a moment. "But enough depressing tales...tell me how you came to be here."
