"That's sort of the idea here, mate. You'll be fine. We've all had to scavenge to survive" he explained. "There's places where you can go to drink, places you can go to get food". John wasn't sure if Arthur would be ready to hear about the portal as well. Not yet at least. Allow him to get used to the jump forward in time and the space station stuff first. That was enough for most people to have to adapt to.
Stopping when he heard the coughing, he turned around to see Arthur had stopped. Deciding it was for the best, John stepped forward and picked up the saddle. It was bloody heavy but he wasn't going to let the sick man just carry it on his own like that. He glanced around, trying to figure out where the closest place would be. There were shops closer than the apartments but they wouldn't have access to showers, would they?
"Right, that's it, I'm taking this until we find you a place" he said sternly. "Come on, not much further" he said, leading him in the direction of the apartments. First one they came to... That would do.
