[Almost two weeks spent in Malnosso captivity and what does Gregor have to show for it?
Lots and lots of band-aids, mostly. Also a minor cold that has turned into a chesty cough.
Instead of any great torture, drugs, or whatever he'd been expecting, the Malnosso mostly took DNA samples. Blood samples. Tissue samples. He's from further in Earth-universe's future than most besides Ivan, so maybe his specific point in human evolution was of interest. He understands the "lab rat" metaphor pretty well now. There hadn't been a lot of space in his cell, so he's a little stiff and sore. At least the hallucinations are gone. That had been the worst part--having to assure himself that this was a normal reaction to solitary confinement. He slowly heaves himself to his feet, blindly scrabbling for his journal. Writing is not easy with all his bandaged fingertips, so he speaks, sounding hoarse, slightly congested, and exhausted.]
Ivan. [A pause. ] Buffy. Adele. Whoever's...interested, this is Greg. I'm back. [He coughs a couple of times, fairly hard.] The Malnosso...anyway, I'm fine. It...wasn't as bad as I thought it would be. I'm heading home now. Did someone take care of my horse?
[He'll take about fifteen minutes to walk home from his spot in the woods.]

Mostly on account of having shoved a desk on top of the floorboards where she stashed her briefcase. Thermos of tea and case in hand she makes the walk to his apartment and knocks, waiting for his answer.]

But she doesn't say that, even though the question is there in her voice]
How far back do you need to come?
