Benjy didn't have long to wait for Gideon to show up, thankfully, and he gave up the reading pretense. Even if he had actually been reading, he certainly wouldn't have been able to concentrate after a friend showed up, right? That was what Benjy told himself, anyway. "I've got no idea. The cover's interesting, though." Because the cover was the only reason he'd picked it up in the first place, honestly.
They hadn't even started a proper conversation before the healer came over and asked after them. Upon hearing his name, Benjy sat up a little straighter and crossed his arms over his chest. "Yeah, that's me," he replied, glancing back at Gideon and shrugging his shoulders. "Is there something you need from me?" Since it was a healer, that was his first assumption. More poking and prodding on the medical front, apparently, even though he wasn't scheduled for anything at that moment.
