"Well. The world, mostly. The situation..." Regis gave a lopsided smile. "I can't imagine anyone is calm and relaxed about being taken away from home. Has it gotten very bad?"

Odd and tense. That was... good to know.

"Good to find you here, though." Why was this awkward? Oh. Oh, right.

Regis bit his lip. "I'm... We were on the road back, together. But I didn't go missing on you, guys, did I?"

That was one way to ask.
