[ At least he isn't going to continue to just awkwardly hold Riz up in air prison like that. Fabian's not a jerk. Well, mostly not a jerk. Which means that he's quick to just put his friend back down on the ground as soon as he's sure Riz doesn't look like he's about to climb him like a jungle gym all over again.

It also gives Fabian just a slight moment to think about that question before he has to answer. ]

Okay? [ He makes a 'pfft' kind of sound. Dismissive. ] Of course I'm fine! When have you ever not seen me doing fine?

[ Please don't answer that question honestly, pal.

In fact, it's not like Fabian is.. really fully doing fine even right now, somewhere between the stress of everything before and the weirdness of what's going on now. And it's not like that weird experience is out of his mind either, considering what apparently happened while he blacked out and was possessed. But when has he ever been good at admitting to emotional weakness? To doing anything but fine? Even if he trusts Riz with his life, he couldn't admit even to him that he's doing anything less than fine, especially while he's not having an active breakdown right now. ]

There's no way that freaky guy could possess me forever! I'm Fabian Seacaster!
