[ As for the rest of that... ]

Nah. I need to talk to Gent, but. I don't... think it's a big deal.

[ Tiniest beat, then he tilts his head to smile for her again. ]

Thanks, though.

What else am I here for when you can't do anything that makes endorphins?

[ It's fine she has fallbacks, even if they're not quite as peak fun ]

If you change your mind, you know where to find me. I'll just be moping and getting a transfusion. [ and possibly going out to get shitfaced with Caeli but she won't mention booze right now ]

Or if you feel like making ourselves at home at sIV for the night; I'm sure Venti won't mind.

Hey, not all endorphins require standing up.

[ Reflexive. It's hard to be in the mood for anything when you keep getting dizzy and nauseous from standing, but technically not true! And he hears that transfusions comment, but while his nose wrinkles a little he decides not to go there right now. Assuming it'll have come up in the other thread so he already knows. ]

...you don't already have plans?

I'm sure if you're stuck like this long enough that'll be put to the test.

[ "close your eyes and lay there" doesn't sound at all like Lupine but sometimes when you need a distraction you work with what you're given ]

I have plans. Several iterations of plans. But if what I need is to curl up with you and Venti for a while, Doctor will understand.

I'd perhaps try to arrange to bring him but... that ritual is special to me. He's known that since the beginning.

[at_heart]

[ ...well, there's some visible surprise in his expression, sorry, but then he smiles. ]

Gotta touch base with Persi first. [ Specified because Gent is another issue entirely and that's ongoing and whatever, timeywimey, por que no los dos. ] But you won't hear me complaining.

[ furi: that would be nice thank you ]

[sangreine]

I'll pencil you in for the next levitation out of here, then. I can float you to the basement as well as I can float you to the second floor. Or I could text her for you.

[ She keeps right on playing with his hair ]

Good, you can not complain with both of us curled up against you. I haven't found any better way to spend time after these miserable games.

[at_heart]

[ Damn, he can't argue with that. Eyes shut briefly, and his smile softens. ]

How about if I text her and you text him?

[ which might look like this and then we can move this to your thread with Venti? ❤️ ]

[sangreine]

I can work with that. Just don't make yourself worse fiddling with the phone.

[ ta da! ]

There. I pretty much assume he'll be fine with it, so shall we start off?

[at_heart]

[ He blinks, that's a point... but working his phone doesn't bother him at all. Maybe it wore off already?

Tries to sit up gingerly, and he's okay. Tries to stand up — and almost immediately wobbles right into her, damn. ]

...Think it's just standing up.

[ But he hears her say that, and he has to laugh a tiny bit. ]

—He probably will, at that.

[ Even if he had to spend the whole night being nauseous??? He kind of thinks Venti and Zari would put up with that. ...It's a nice thought even though that would be a very crappy evening. ]

[sangreine]

-- Whoa. [ catching him, even though the quick movement makes her a little dizzy herself. Stupid anemia. ] I got you.

[ They would definitely be fine taking care of him if he spent the whole night queasy, but she'd prefer not to if there's an alternative. ]

Lay back, I'll float us over that way.
