[ 'Just a moment' turns out to be around ten, fifteen minutes of complete silence. Enough time for deep breathing (through one and a half cigarettes) and pacing back and forth from one end of his tiny mushroom home to the other. Calm. Normal. His family isn't here to see him spiral, but...they'd still be disappointed in him if he left all the effort they spent on him out by the wayside.
There's that interesting bracelet he got from his trip to the new crystal as well, but he's already decided that's only for emergencies. If something isn't used enough it atrophies, be it a muscle or a habit. He won't let that happen, not as long as he has enough sense left in him to help it.
And so... ]
