[Some amount of time after The Great Blinding, Jon's been figuring out how to exist. It was hard, for more than just a few months. Eventually with enough references and documentation from a doctor and therapist, he and Martin picked out a service dog for him. And Tim had taken great lengths to rework his home to accommodate. It isn't until some time after that he feels like he can really, truly get around without needing to be coddled a bit.
He's piled a bit on the couch, head back and eyes closed to the ceiling.]
You know... I never thought I'd miss watching the telly as much as I do.
[Said to anyone and no one. He knows Goober's there by his feet, but it feels like someone else is close by as well. Just not sure who.]
[ Algric had been busy in his own way. There'd been things to do with the Institute, and Jonah, and ... well. At some point, he is going to move out with his Jon, but somehow it keeps getting pushed back. He has to make sure the house is settled, and then there was the service dog, and then ...
Well. Jon's right, of course. There is someone there, even if his presence is dim. ]
Strange, isn't it? I feel the same way about some future shows I never caught up on.
[He leans into that hug, carefully gets both arms around him. Goober does lift his head to watch, make sure Jon isn't being hurt. But he seems fine enough.]
I think it was an appropriate amount of worry considering.
...You all made it back. That's what's important. And- And it seems like. You all are able to have everything you need.
[He buries his face into Algric's shoulder a bit, taking in his scent, the feeling of his warmth seeping into the man's skin. It's good. It's good feeling him here.]
A part of me still regrets not being able to go with you all.

How is everything else going?

Date: 2021-04-06 02:40 am (UTC)Oh, ah. Things are going well. Cleaned out some Artefact Storage today? That's, er. Well it's always a bit dangerous.
no subject
Date: 2021-04-06 02:42 am (UTC)That's a bit of an understatement. You're- All of you are all right, yes?
no subject
Date: 2021-04-06 02:45 am (UTC)Yes! Yes, it's - it's perfectly fine. No one hurt. Just a close call with the screaming head in a jar.

Date: 2021-04-06 02:48 am (UTC)God, I read about that one. No offense, but I'm glad I never had to deal with it.

You know how scared I was for all of you, when you went?
