They did, but I think he’s doing a little better now. I’ve been keeping an eye on him… though, he’s sturdier than he looks.

...he's seemed like it so far, yeah. Guess he's a little on the younger side for all this, but-- he's managing.

[ There’s a furrow of her brow, displeased. ]

He’ll be okay. I mean, I’m worried too, but I have to remind myself not to worry too much.
