[ Look, guys, it's fine. It's fine. They don't have to get into the details of Fabian's state back there. Fabian knows that Riz knows, obviously. The other saw him nearly dead like that. But Gorgug didn't see it, and Fabian knows it's very likely that Riz won't bring up any details that Fabian doesn't, so it's fine! It was absolutely not a big deal, and the more Fabian repeats that to himself, the more he will be able to believe it.
Riz's confession about what happened after is indeed not all that surprising. Fabian didn't know for sure it happened, but even though his recovery had been relatively slow without the aid of magical healing that they usually have, he had been able to pick up on some signs.
Especially when Riz's signs are really, really obvious when it comes to this.
Then again, Fabian also doesn't know how to deal with concepts like your best friend murdering someone for trying to murder you, so. You know. Another thing to play off real casually. Really not a big deal. ]
See? [ He says, waving a hand like they are talking about the most normal and casual topic ever brought up. This is so normal, you two!! ] It has all been resolved very neatly. The way we always do it!
[ Riz answers him, no fuss or trimmings, and Gorgug gives him a short nod. That answers that, the expected response, because that's who Riz is and that's who they are. Just as it's like Fabian to want to brush it away, and Gorgug doesn't need to make much more about it. But... ]
Thank you, [ he says to Riz; which might seem unnecessary to the other, but doesn't a guy deserve it for saving their neutral friend? But he turns his attention to the both of them proper, suggesting, ] Should we go to the boat? We should-- we can talk more there. There's food. Are you hungry?
[ It was meant to be a mission about surviving, which they did very well, but also: does it mean they got to stay fed well? ]
