[Varian is definitely ready to argue this, and opens his mouth to do so- but he catches Fern's thoughts, his sidelong glance and his mouth closes. He watches Reaper put himself together again and it's like a full stop on the conversation. Fern's right, the man is set and better to make sure he knows he's supported than trying to argue the point. ]
We do. We're really lucky to have you here. And...if you need anything, you know all you need to do is ask, right?
[Reaper shook himself off and straighten, seeming to put the malaise behind him and putting his usual front back into place. He had to find a way to keep himself together, but more than that, he was going to have to busy himself keeping track of the other housemates and make certain they were safe. That was going to require a lot of teleporting, so he'd need some kind of energy source to supplement himself.
He knew one way, but he'd have to experiment. Something to dedicate his attention to.]
Of course. You two can stop worrying about me. This isn't my first rodeo, now off you go. I have some duties to attend to.
[A quick thought of reassurance is sent to Varian - at least they've made it clear to Reaper they care about his wellbeing and want to help him through this - before he gives a small nod. This whole situation is an even bigger mess, which has him worried.]
O... okay. [He reaches for Varian's hand, gripping him tightly before turning to head out.]
[Varian opens his mouth, ready to argue more on this. He's a stubborn little shit and even more so when someone he cares about is hurting and he has the potential to do something about it. But Fern's read the situation better than he has (as usual) and as Fern takes his hand his mouth closes.
He lets out an uneasy breath.]
Okay. We'll...leave you to it.
[And with that, he lets Fern drag him out of the room, non the less worried for his friend. ]
