"Hello again," she says to Johnny, somewhat dispiritedly. "Things didn't go entirely according to plan, but the Balladeer should be back soon." She tries to sound encouraging, despite having a better idea of how little the two like one another.
"How are you, er... holding up?" She winces. "Not the best choice of words, sorry."
