"Mm, Zelda keeps you busy. But I trust her and Jean to look after you," Neil jokes. "Have you met either of them, Martin?"

"Oh, um---" God, is he really going to jump every time Neil addresses him? "Not yet. Zelda... in passing. She seems nice."

"She's lovely! She's the captain of the ship Jon works on. You wouldn't guess it by looking at her, of course. Apparently she's also a princess. But she's more than capable," Neil explains merrily. "Honestly, I find myself amazed at the work their little crew does. I'm a therapist, which has its own challenges, but they work so hard physically. Have you noticed Jon has put on some muscle?"

"Oh, really?" Obviously Martin noticed. He looks amazing right now. "That's a big change for you, Jon. Do you like it?"
