"Vali, can you give him The Spiel?"

"Sure thing, you've been through enough today" Vali nods "Oh and don't worry about your bike. It's retrieved already"

Dagmar can see he's using fewer jokes than usual. He's FIRM with Jordan, and maybe Jordan needs that.

Dag intends to chip in with a comment or two, but likely drifts back to sleep. There's a lot of exposition.
