[That comment actually got a laugh out of him. Really, like this sad, fretful little magician could even come close to the sheer headache that was the combined power of Rook Hunt and Epel Felmier.]

You would have to work pretty hard to test my patience. I manage a whole dorm of teenagers back home, I think I can handle one little magician.

[He felt some of that tension melt away, and Vil couldn’t help but give him a little extra squeeze in support. That was good. A small first step.]

I’m glad I could give you that peace of mind. Your sister is safe, and right now it’s time to focus on you. And on that subject, I don’t suppose you still feel like you can eat?

Don’t force yourself if you can’t.
