Thankfully, each day will have brought Glenn further out of unconsciousness. He would be more awake than not each day, would be getting stronger. By the time Cinnabar arrived for the second or third time, the mapmaker would be almost able to walk about. Despite that, there would be few words that he would feel up to voicing to his visiting friend.
First and foremost, Glenn would insist, vehemently, that he had planned for this eventuality. There were simply.. unforseen complications, and those would be more difficult to deal with. In general, however, he had planned for the loss of the link and trained for it and his mind would steadily get over the trauma. There was a firm, unshaken belief, that he would be better and stronger each day. Unfortunately, due to those aformentioned complications, he could not yet explain what had happened, either in the long-term or the immdiate, even though he had more or less pieced together the immediate from what the elf Jynoriel had told him, and much of the longer-term with Dulcie's help. So from the Governor, he would request an additional week to overcome the brunt of this mental trauma.
He would also request visits, though not necessarily frequent ones considering Calomel's new child, and a KIND looking in on Rhaena from the man (for none of it was her fault), as... it was hard for Glenn to see her much as of yet, for reasons he did not even begin to explain. And for these visits to the mapmaker, a chessboard would be requested. He could not yet focus on the matter at hand, but intense focusing in other directions, while difficult, would quicken the healing process. He would attempt to dismiss concern, or at least push it for the future. Glenn was trying to seem to his employer to have the situation in hand, to have planned intensely for the worse, despite how things currently looked. It was quite debatable how well he could sell that idea. Much of it hinged on whether or not Calomel would respect his wishes and not press on to what happened until the time was right. Trust only went so far in the face of such evidence, after all.
