//Oh no, I hope you get better soon! But yeah, take your time, no need to rush, I understand things can be busy with the holidays right around the corner :) //<br/><br/>Alex was feeling better the moment he felt the smoke hit his lungs. Of course, it was mostly psychological at this point since the active ingredients hadn't quite made their way into his system.<br/>He smoked, taking his time and enjoying the feeling of mellowness slowly taking over his system.<br/><br/>The last weeks had been hard, stressful and if he was honest, he hadn't quite mentally coped with the accident and its repercussions on his life... but Alex shook the thought off, trying to focus on the view outside his window. Wouldn't want to feel bad when you're high.<br/>It was calming though, the view of the coastline, watching the waves crash into the beach, hearing the sounds of the sea and everything that accompanied it... And Alex hadn't exactly taken the time to stop and smell the roses, so to speak, in quite a while so it did have a calming effect on him.<br/><br/>His thoughts were very far away from this whole mess, the pain in his bones and especially Ethan when the knock made him almost take a little jump into the air like a startled cat.<br/>Great, so much for relaxing... He was well aware that that tone of voice probably was spelling trouble.<br/><br/>"Sure, come on in," he called back, trying to sound as calm as he could. Well, he was still high and somewhat calm, but also very well aware that he was going to be in trouble. Again.<br/>He stayed by the window though, even as Ethan entered the room and tried to focus on the outside. "So, what can I do for you?" Alex asked then, pretending he wasn't well aware of what the issue was.
