[Dave's certain word must have spread about his condition while he was out of it (he won't say coma, won't think it, won't let that voice in the back of his head say you're lucky to be alive, you know, even though he knows it's true), so he's sure people might be relieved to hear that he's okay.

For the most part, anyway.

His heart's not really in

Welcome back.

[Aladdin frowned worriedly as he spoke. What else could he say? He was alive, yes, but it was obvious that Dave was still far from well.]

[merlinianblood]

Thanks.

[He notices Aladdin's look and frowns as well, though his is an irritated sort of frown. Pity isn't something he wants right now, but he'll let it go.]

So, ah.

What's up?

[merelyaladdin]

[It was concern rather than pity. It was also automatic, given the circumstances.]

Not much. It's quiet without classes to worry about.

[merlinianblood]

[Unfortunately, Dave can't really tell the difference at the moment.]

Yeah. You doing anything to kill the time?

[merelyaladdin]

I've ... [Aladdin looked momentarily sheepish.] I've been doing some extra work, actually.

[merlinianblood]

Yeah?

[Here, Aladdin! Have a little smile. Dave approves of your work ethic.]

In what?

[merelyaladdin]

Everything, really. Mostly English, with a bit of maths.
