"Oh, thank God you're alive. Couldn't do with having you dead." Eva wrings out her hair and clothing and meets him halfway. Her own steps are pretty wobbly, but she figures there's nothing like a drop through a whirlpool that probably goes thousands of feet and through the fabric of space itself to give someone a little vertigo. She drops to her knees a little bit before he reaches her to examine her for head trauma. The worst of it just seems to be the busted lip from the hail, which she would take responsibility for, were she not blaming the hail for existing where her face was.
"You're kidding. You actually know where we are from here?" She grabs his elbow and helps herself back up, leaning in close to examine his eye. It looks swollen, but at least the pupils are lined up correctly and he seems to be seeing well enough - not like he'll keep his head still long enough for her to tell.
"I can handle the library. It's drops like that I'd rather not do again. Did I tell you I almost fell to my death once? Broke twenty-seven bones." She mentions this as casually as she would 'yesterday I went to the mall and milk was twenty cents more expensive, can you believe it?'. She starts walking towards the exit of the room, a big thing with marble columns that looks dreadfully academic and stuffy.
