"I've just been resting, haven't I?" The question was resigned more than anything, not even making it all the way to being terse as he probably intended it to be, but the truth of it was that he was tired, and had been the whole time, he was still healing after all, and hadn't really given himself time or grace to do so, even with allowing the upcoming break to take in a movie he had still been working on this since it had happened, when he wasn't sleeping.
The worst part was that he knew he should focus on something else for a while, and usually that was a different case, but they didn't have one of those for him to switch to at the moment, and it wasn't like they could just pick one up on a lark in their current state, "I suppose I could do some research on summonings that include a mirror." That was low impact enough, and only halfway related to what he was working on, it might be enough to let him process things while still looking. He paused once he'd said it, however, brow creasing, "Are we sure it was a summoning and not a binding?"
