He'd taken the time to make sure that his arm was stabilized and that removing armor wouldn't undo Kat's work in setting it properly. Though there were still bruising and marks from what happened with the Meta that were visible as he moved to join York. "Not a bad idea to come here... And good to know you're still alive."

"Hey. Could've been worse." As it is, he did have a black eye and a missing tooth, but at least all his bones were in place. Of course, Tex had walked out on him--and he still wasn't sure she was coming back. But that was neither here nor there.

Speaking of which, he took a drink of his icewater. "Hair looks good."

"So this is where this place was hiding."
There's a grin sent towards York, before giving a contented sigh as he settles lower into the water.

"I bet most people don't even know it's here. Barely ever see anyone using it."

"I suppose that would explain why I didn't find this place sooner." He smirks, chuckling a little to himself. "I don't think I mind the idea of this place being a quiet spot, though."
