Better, thanks. Being dead is sort of... cold. And stiff. It's not much fun. I'm glad to be back.
[And then he ducks his head down and rubs at the back of his neck with one hand] I might have to skip out on driving lessons for a while. I still want to do it though, I really do. I just... can't, right now. Breaking might be tricky.
[He nods a little bit, though he doesn't let on that, in fact, he knows what being dead feels like because he's been dead countless times. Thousands if all those Tuesdays count.]
Hey, don't worry about it. We'll do it when you're back in full working order. [He gives him a somewhat sweet grin.] You need any help getting anywhere?
I... I should be okay. My friends from Doctor Magnus' place are coming over, and she's said I can stay there until I can, you know, go up stairs again.
[He glances down, fidgeting] I just don't want to get on anyone's nerves. This is my fault.
Alright, good, and if you need anything you call, okay? It's no problem.
[He gives him a look at that.] Yeah, it's your fault for being too damn brave. It's not your fault you got hurt. Just take a week off, no one's gonna be pissed at you, man.
I... I should be okay. I just... I'm not going to get much time to become a wheelchair basketball champion, am I? [And he's going to try laughing it off that way]
I was being cocky. I thought it couldn't hurt me. [He snorts and himself, then looks up again and smiles] I'll take some time off. I think Pepper's seen enough of me recently.
[He gives him a quick smile at that.] You're outta luck there, kiddo. If you need a wheelchair, we still got one here. It was our uncle's though, so you gotta give it back when you're done.
[He shrugs with a nod.] I get it. Hey, I've been there.
[Dean has a grin for Teddy, and he doesn't touch on the part about his legs not working.]
Hey, kiddo, you're alive. How you doing? [Note to self; holy water test on Teddy.]
