The nod is quick but understanding. Yancy had always listened to doctors and medical advisors after his mom got sick but when he was where Chuck is he was unreasonable as all hell (and for good reason but).
"Things heal quicker when you do. When you give yourself a break." And that's all he's going to say about that, because he can't make up the kid's mind for him—just try to give him advice and make some sense out of people telling you what to do.
And despite the pause he gives at Chuck's answer and the look in his eye, the corner of Yancy's mouth curls up a hair. "Okay." Comes the simple reply as he starts to back out of the room. "If I want." He tilts his head down before he disappears into the hall and smiles at the Aussie. "You take care of yourself, all right?"
I'M SO HAPPY TO BE BACK SOBS
