As Chas returned he saw the state John was in and ran over, making him head to the couch instead of attempting going upstairs. "nah ah,  you ain't going up a spiral staircase when you're about to faint. Just for once in yer bloody life pause and rest up" he said to John. To anyone else his tone may have come across as quite harsh, but he knew with John sometimes, just sometimes he had to give him some kind of authorative tone or his mate just wouldn't do anything sensible. It always came from a caring place though. "if the girls can rest up then so can you, research can wait until the morning. The girls aren't going anywhere, this place is heavily warded to protect all inside it, so there's no reason to over do it tonight" he added, hoping that for once his best mate would actually listen to him even though it sometimes felt like it was a rare moment when he did. He made John sit on the couch before perching on the coffee table edge.
