[Stan does hold still (though admittedly, he's been trying to keep kind of still anyway, with the injury), but he looks up curiously at what Loop is doing with their hands. Whatever they did, it actually does make him feel better? Somehow? Stan bends in a couple different directions and hey! His range of motion is-- ow, wait, that one's still bad from sitting all day.]

Oof-- ha, back to just the regular old man pains!

[He rights himself and laughs - and he can actually laugh now, instead of having to go easy on it so he doesn't make his chest move!]

Thanks. Broken ribs are the worst, especially when ice packs don't work on you anymore.

[Does he elaborate on that? No, of course not! Why would he do that? Instead he just waves for Loop to follow him to the living room, where the chair he'd been sitting in is. It's worn out, like it was once well-loved, but Stan wouldn't know anything about that. He did add the pillow for his back though, which Loop can take or leave.]

Heh. Yeah, same here. Really makes a shitty old mattress feel like you're staying at the Ritz after a while.
