He knows they don't have time to linger, and in truth he's more than happy to rush out of here as soon as possible, but- just a moment. He just... needs a moment like this, to take it all in.

Teddy's right, though. There are more important things they need to deal with right now. The rest can come later.]
Yeah... yeah, I get you... just. Get me on my feet, I'll...
[He grips Teddy' shoulders, pushing himself out of the chair- but it's been so long since he's gotten to stand that his legs drop under him immediately, and he clings for balance. Whoops, too soon.]
...Okay, um. Go help the others first? I'll catch up...
