Well shit. She didn't really get a lot to go on from his answer. Letting her shoulders fall a little she replied quietly with, "Nothing much really new there, no. Glad you're still up to your usual though." Seeing him look her over though brought a slightly too quick, "There's nothing wrong with me."

News. Yes. There was something that she could talk about without it getting personal. She hoped, anyway.

"No. No news for me, or for anyone else that I know of who is... missing someone from their family, that I know of. I've been trying to do some research on my own but not coming up with anything..." Research? She was devoting her waking moments to finding out what could have possibly happened. But the word 'research' was harmless enough.

"But I'm sure everything will work out fine." the words sounded a little flat, even to her, and she had tried to make it as normal as possible and tried to make it sound like she believed that.
