[Anders is late to respond, he'd seen her post when it had gone up, but he'd been elbow-deep in the ill and making notes on his communicator to take back to the Twin Roses later. He heard the change, not just in her voice, but in her tone, in her words. Riona was Different and he couldn't help the concern that reared up. He supposed it could be something life-changing or it could simply be time. Hadn't he gone to sleep one way and woken up entirely different?
Riona had gone to sleep and woken fine before, but it seemed Atroma may not have been so kind now.
He responds later than decorum perhaps said he should, but something told him she'd be awake anyway. He hoped so, at least. He wanted to try and talk to her on his own, while the lab was quiet and empty.]
I'm glad you're back with us, I've missed your presence.

[A pause and his tone goes softer.]
Are you all right?
