Meanwhile, Miles is prodding his formerly broken shoulder thoughtfully.
"Mark," he says. "I'm running on a bad adrenaline-to-sleep ratio here. Please pick a minimally stupid way to verify my shiny new skeleton. That will work to my satisfaction before I have to go out that door again."

Mark ponders this request very briefly, and then picks Miles up off the ground. And puts him down again.
"You weigh about what I'd expect from someone that size with a normal skeleton. More than you should, given yours."

Any beverage. I can provide suggestions should you be feeling uninspired.
"Reportedly," says Kiri, "time pauses while you're here with the door closed, although how that interacts with you and them being from the same world with I assume the same time I don't know. So you should have as long as you like to rest up, unless something is going on. Bar?"
They should find time working as normal for the door, including the pause while the door is closed. They were far enough apart from each other before entering the bar that the minor discrepancy should not interfere with anything.

calescent
"I had been expected to obtain the magic fire powers since a few hours after I was born, but we were not expecting our great aunt to die, so it was somewhat surprising to begin with. I was unharmed, though - I'd demonstrate but your cousin has come out against the display of fire tricks, but I can't burn, and a combination of water and getting myself under control prevented much in property damage beyond my bed."
