Eva nodded along slowly. Of course he should go see his family, had she known he was coming she would have insisted he do that first, though there likely wouldn't have been any changing his mind. Eva rather felt like everybody was overreacting about this, she was going to be fine now that everything was settled. They all needed to just calm down.

"You do that, poor Tink. " She chuckled, though she felt incredibly endeared toward him for coming straight here. He really hadn't been kidding in his letters. Though she'd been about to think of something he could bring her, she honestly didn't know what to request, her brain too fuzzy. Eva was pretty sure as long as she had company she'd be perfectly content.

She didn't have time to try and say any of that however, as the next thing she knew, her father came barreling into the room, stopping just shy of running into the bed. This day was full of unexpected arrivals and apparently no nap!

Though she hated doing it and immediately felt guilty that it was her first gut reaction, she quickly retracted her hands from Fletcher's and tried to sit up, forgetting her injury in her surprise. She regretted it instantly, her muscles protesting the movements, leaving her breathless and seeing stars for a moment. One hand flew to her side, the other steadying her position on the bed.

"Da!" She managed once the pain subsided, trying to redirect his attention to her, though he clearly recognized Fletcher. "Are you alright? Where have you been?" He looked startlingly wild, clearly he'd come straight from the expedition as well, likely somehow injured himself.
