He nodded to Savannah in response to her musing. He wasn’t used to being bowed to and felt a little awkward not bowing himself. He lost the opportunity to do so when another person entered the room. To be honest, he was thankful for the attention to be off of him for now at least. He reached up and tightened the black tie under his white collared dress shirt. Feeling this was a business occasion, he had dressed in black slacks and put on a tie. He still wore his usual worn work boots, though. His hair was pulled back in a ponytail.
He was interested in the newcomer, but he did notice Loch. To Abel it seemed like Loch was struggling to stand up. He didn’t know what had happened to Loch, but it must have been difficult on him. He began to wonder if this was a dangerous place. He hadn’t talked about what happened to him, and Abel felt a bit awkward about bringing up what might be a difficult subject, especially right after meeting him.
He made sure not to stare too long at Loch. The last thing Abel wanted was eyes on him when he was having a hard time, so he tried to give him some privacy. He had to question what the doctors were thinking sending so many people into a room where an injured patient was trying to rest. It must be a hectic time. It’s almost as if they were just trying to push them aside while they tried to deal with something more pressing. He began wondering again if this place was dangerous.
Abel pushed aside these thoughts as the others began engaging the newcomer with idle conversation. He didn’t bother joining in, because two of them had already asked him something. Adding a third question seemed a bit much. He was interested in hearing the answers though, and to be social he smiled and gave a nod towards him as well.
