"Well that goes without saying. Of course, a good story should always be accompanied by booze" he smirked, a twinkle in his eyes. "Maybe once we get you sorted, and you start your road to recovery, yeah?" he said, his tones fairly positive, trying to encourage the other man.
The two of them continued on through the park, getting closer to the edge. John couldn't help but wonder how Arthur was going to react to seeing the rest of the station. If John hadn't seen the Waverider before arriving it might have had a bigger impact on him. "All right well... if you've got any more questions, just ask. I don't know how much I'll be able to answer but I'll give it a shot" he said. If he could distract him with questions about the station or just general questions about the future, he might not ask anything personal. And the more he could keep Arthur distracted, the better.
