I've been all right. There hasn't really been any change since before... [Since he initially got worse, at least. It was good that he wasn't getting any worse, but it's been so long now, and he still hasn't gotten any better. Perhaps this wasn't a good topic if Luke was already upset about something. But what else was there to talk about?]

[...well. There was that. Ion hadn't really told anyone yet, but if it could help get Luke's mind off whatever it was that was upsetting him... and it isn't as though Ion has anything else positive going on in his life that would be worth talking about.]

But all that aside, I suppose you could say things have been... even better than all right.
