Thank you. That's the best news I've heard all day, you know, with all the being trapped in a different universe and time and potentially suffering from a deadly, horrific curse... What's up with that, huh?

[Yeah. Considering what he knows of this place so far? He'll take living for now. It's quite high on his priority list, actually? And it's nice to get professional confirmation.

When she lets go, Rodney inspects his hand and flexes his fingers again. He's still a bit tentative but for now seems reassured.]

And food sounds great, I'm starving. Could be all of that blood loss, I should probably, uh, get something sugary, some orange juice...

[Okay, almost reassured. Fortunately, he doesn't continue the litany because they are about to fix that little problem too. Instead he offers his good hand to her.]

Name's McKay. Dr. Rodney McKay.
