He let out a shaky breath, one he hadn't fully realized he'd been holding, though he curled his fingers around Charles' hand again, just for a moment, another squeeze as Charles rose again, "Thank you, Charles."
He was already thinking even as he ate, small careful bites of both scone and sandwich -not entirely sure if he liked the avocado or not but finding the thing otherwise serviceable- just stewing the whole situation over, because while he was terrified of what might happen, he did, at least, have the presence of mind to know that it was at least partly his habit of rushing right to the worst-case scenario, which was why, half the sandwich and most of the coffee gone, he said: "Even if I do manage to sort it out today, and that's doubtful, we've gone a couple of days without cases before, it won't be the end of the world to do it again."
A little shake of his head, realizing that he was talking around the subject, voicing the train of thought he'd already gone through, "What I'm trying to say is that perhaps we could go to the cinema tomorrow? We'd have to actually purchase tickets, of course, there wouldn't be any getting in our usual way." He'd worry about his own remaining aches and finding something suitable to wear later, while going to the movies wasn't something he missed from being alive, it was something he'd been fascinated with at the time -mostly due to his father's vocal distaste for it on the whole- and it was one of the things he enjoyed doing with Charles anyway, when they had the time.
