[It's very late at night when his sphere switches on - but that's normal for Abel, who is conditioned to the largely nocturnal lifestyle of his homeland. No, what's weird about this is probably the fact that, as his hologram appears, it's very obvious he's in the bath.

And what's weird about that is that he's fully clothed, submerged up to his nose above the waist (his legs stick out at awkward angles at the other end of the near-overflowing tub, bent at the knees because there aren't a lot of baths tailor made for men of his stature). A heavy mess of silver hair floats around him on the surface of the water. His glasses are sitting low on his nose, foggy with condensation. The otherwise pleasant sound of falling water indicates that the shower is also on, in the background.]

I d-don't feel so good...

[...Oh, and he's talking underwater. This can't be a good sign.]
