That gets a soft chuckle despite the entire mess of their circumstances.

"Look, you don't need to worry about me, really. All of my problems, they're-" he flaps a hand dismissively. "They're not here. So I can focus on what's actually in front of us."

He can only hope that when - if - he gets back, that John and Yorick have figured something out, that he's not just dead. But he can't worry about that now; all it serves is sending him into a panic. Having other people to worry about here - Konstantin, Charles- it helps keep him sane.

"I suppose I should meet Vasya at some point, though, just so he doesn't have to worry about me knowing the truth."

Konstantin lifts a brow at that, and offers a huff and a smile. "This place apparently has its fair share of supernatural entities trying to fuck with us. Your problems from before might have just been traded out for a new slew of them. So I'm going to have to keep an eye out for you, too."

Sorry Arthur, he's going to worry about you just as much as you've been worrying about him and his situation. Especially considering this poor guy's track record for getting hurt, maimed, killed...

Something in his eyes softens at mention of Vasiliy, shifting his liquid-dark eyes to a warmer brown. It's a reaction that Konstantin can't stop from happening at this point, something fond.

"I'll introduce you. You should come over for dinner sometime. We have meat."

Vasiliy's also not... normal, there's something strange and wrong about him, too. Something Konstantin doesn't really know how to fully define. He has to wonder if Arthur might've run across anything like that in all of his journeying with the supernatural. He won't betray Vasya's secrets, but it's something to think about bringing up to his housemate. Arthur is a good ally to have.
