[Thoma turns to head to the bathroom first, to clean his neck up and put some gauze on it. The holes left there aren't as large as he thought they'd be, cleaning it up quickly. That's good, though he's sure he might get a comment or two when he has to go to work with it bandaged up. He'll quickly go to his room too, changing his clothes and finding something fresh for Aether as well.

He wonders how his friend is doing. He's the one who's had to go through the terrifying experience of being transformed into a monster. He may of not believed it if he hadn't saw his fangs for himself, hadn't been under the powerful influence of Aether's newfound powers. Experiencing it all firsthand made him a believer immediately, and Thoma can feel his hands shaking as he picks up the spare t-shirt and shorts. He's got to keep it together, for Aether.

He knows that his friend really didn't mean to get him into this mess. And despite what just happened, he still wants to help.

Thoma enters the kitchen to find Aether on the ground, giving him a small smile and handing the clothes over.]

Here. The shorts might be a little long on you, but they'll do for now. Can you tell me more about what happened? And what about that guy you mentioned earlier?

[There's a lot to piece together...best to start from the beginning.]
