Martin nods in return, relieved John is willing to at least try the option, and without getting up he fishes his phone out of his pocket. Focusing on the simple task of texting Daine is both a much-needed respite and a stark reminder of how tired he is, but he manages. After a bit of back and forth, he looks back up at John.
"She's on her way," he says with another faint smile. "Apparently this is just something he does. She seems... properly annoyed." He doesn't mention that 'annoyed' comes through from Daine as 'odds bobs,' which is so delightful he almost laughs, but he manages to keep himself dry and resigned, which feels far more appropriate to the situation.
