If you don't mind, [ thomas offers her a slight smile, clasping his hands together in front of his body. ] I'll worry until you're entirely all right.

[originallutece]

Ah.

[A soft statement, and she glances down for a moment. Ah, and she really has no idea what to say to that, how to successfully articulate that it means a great deal to her without being soppy.]

. . . well. I suppose I can't stop you.

[She glances up back at him.]

. . . tell me what you've been up to.

[Distract me.]

[ettersberg]

[ indeed: she cannot stop him. he nods, briefly holding her gaze before he lets the moment pass. ]

Do you know Eggsy Unwin?

[ he doesn’t wait for a n answer before continuing. ] I’ve been watching his dog.

[originallutece]

I'm very familiar with him.

[And his dog, though it's clear Thomas has spent a great deal more time with him.]

Has he been that unable to watch after him?

[ettersberg]

[ "very familiar". thomas lifts an eyebrow for a moment, but then continues - ]

I think initially, he simply meant for JB not to get in the way when he went off on a rescue mission.

[originallutece]

[She returns his look, but doesn't elaborate, not yet.]

And now? Have you become a proper uncle to him?

[ettersberg]

Perhaps an uncle twice removed.

[ the thought earns a smile. ]

Eggsy was hurt during the rescue operation, so I've been watching the dog a little longer.

[originallutece]

That's kind of you. Though I didn't realize he was that injured. Was there more beyond his arm?

[ettersberg]

Mostly the arm.

[ both arms, really, but one worse than the other. but thomas will discuss eggsy's injuries no more than he would discuss rosalind's with someone else. ]
