Moonspear i read the news today, oh boy

At the news of Hydra's well-being, Rannoch nodded. It was natural that the Beta wasn't doing well, and he made a mental note to check in on her and the rest of her family. 

To Terance's concern, Rannoch hesitated to answer. As he considered his feelings, he frowned and avoided his friend's gaze. "I'm... better than expected," Rannoch decided; it was the most positive perspective that he could offer at that moment. While Rannoch didn't want to lie, he also was not comfortable enough to expose his inner-most thoughts. He forced a smile then, as he attempted to hide his discomfort in their conversation. 

"How about you?" he asked after a beat, "Feeling any better since we last talked?" After all, it seemed as though the world had gone up in flames since their last conversation.
