[ The gel is a little chilly, but Hob is patient enough with it, and Daan is gentle enough. ]

So I should avoid marathons and break dancing for now. Got it.

[ But Daan, isn't there a gala coming up? How can Hob avoid going to that? Maybe he can shuffle slowly about on the dance floor? ]

That sounds like a great help. Thank you.

[ Hob will be religious about taking his medicine, at least, and drinking lots of fluids. ]

I will call if something seems amiss. We're very lucky to have you in this city with us.
