Erwan found Chance without any difficulty. The presence of a dragon, even a relatively small one, at his side made it easy. Not interested in making a scene, he approached slowly. Chance looked lost in his work and Erwan observed that silently with interest. In this space without the attention of the other man, he found himself able to observe without interruption. And that is what he did, for almost a minute. Indeed, the lines of tiredness showed heavily on Chance's face. Yet he continued to work as if a force far greater than kindness spurred him. Duty. Erwan also knew this driving force well. With his hip leaned against a nearby support column and his arms crossed, Erwan continued to watch Chance tend to his latest patient until the man finally looked up from his work. When he did, only then did he speak.

"You look like a mess," Erwan stated, his eyes boring into Chance's. He held that gaze, refusing to let the other man look away. "Were you not planning to take your own advice? You will neither lead, nor convince anyone with that behavior." Sighing, he stepped away from the column to crouch down next to Chance. He laid a hand on the boy's shoulder before looking pointedly at Chance again as if to say his work here was already done. The boy looked well enough to walk away, but if Chance continued, could he? "I dislike that part of you, but...." He paused, wondering just what words he really wanted to say. "It's not necessarily a bad quality either."
