"Hm. But that's all that counts, right? That someone's willing to give another person comfort, no matter how small." Roland answers, his attention split between finishing up typing on the ICP and turning to talk to Xander a little bit better. He resolves his task quickly, tucks his notebook away right after. Smile still present as he answers. Roland's expression betrays very little, but he genuinely appreciates the care.

"Yeah. I'm doing well, all things considered. Thanks." He wonders if it's alright to ask, but leaves no room for anymore doubt when he follows up with a simple, quiet: "...Who left? For you?"

He'll sympathize regardless. It's never easy.
