[Ignoring the fact that Kleken brought it up almost as soon as he possibly could. There were things about the hotel that Aak was curious about, sure, but all he can think of when he hears about being lost for months is... could that happen to him? He's lived rough in the city but the idea of wandering through a liminal, labyrinthine space is scary. He'd rather get knocked out from a punch to the jaw than collapse from exhaustion and hunger.]
[but, this guy was a victim to it, not the cause of it]
[And for acting so calm after being in a situation like that? Focus, Aak, not on the hypothetical danger somewhere else but the hypothetical danger right here.]
That's- astounding, Ah Sir! [he picks himself back up off the bar, his business face coming back on.]
Were you checked out by the clinic? Should you have any worries about your health, I'd be grateful to repay the favor you did for me before.
[It's funny how, despite his words being of concern for Kleken, none of that tone from earlier is there. His concern is wholly for himself.]
