[Fern waits quietly for the two of them to do their magic thing, nervously antsy that it'll backfire or something. That happens sometimes in Deerington, and with how today has gone he wouldn't be surprised if that happened.
When it comes, it takes him all of five seconds to step inside the room and yank both of them into a desperately tight hug.]
[That was unexpected, but not unwanted. So he really cares about Varian Luz quietly said to herself, not that she hadn't believed it before, but it was more intense than she had expected. Varian was likely to Fern what Margot was to her].
The hug gets dropped pretty quick, since Fern still isn't feeling too great over all of this. He really, really hopes Eda is right, and slumps, glancing over at Varian in the cocoon.]
He likes to make bets. Me and him had a bet going on whether math was cool.
[He gives a little nod. Under normal circumstances he'd be pumped to see whatever the heck a grudgeby match is. As it is, he just files it away as hopefully something to look forward to when (if) Varian gets back to normal.]
That's what Varian said.
[What a nerd, recognizing that math is needed for tons of stuff in the world.
He makes a noise akin to a sigh. Yeah, he needs to stick around here and keep guard.]

But... she looks down at Fern's green head, and she sighs, wrapping him and Luz in a tight hug. ]
He better be fine. We still have a bet to settle. Doesn't seem like the type of guy to lose by default.

What's this about a bet now?

She pats Fern's shoulder. ] Math still sucks, you're still right there.
You let us know if you need anything, alright? I'd offer that you can come over but, [ well, she knows he won't want to. ]

Come on guys, you need math for lots of stuff in the world. Annoying but necessary.
Yeah, just drop us a note! I shouldn't be busy yet, and I still have to learn training from you anyway!

Okay, I will. Thanks.

[Luz resembled that remark! Not quite to Varian's extent (he was SUPER smart in Luz's opinion) but still].
I'm sure he'll be ok, and if something happens, we'll be around.
