CRAZY EVENT DAY 3 SHENANIGINS

[sharpasafawkes]

[It's getting late, you're probably out (but hey, some of you could be safe and warm at home), and aside from the crazy people out, it's pretty much business as normal.

Which means it can be pretty easy to miss the sound of someone else around, or the footsteps that trail off and then come again]

[scanninggaydis]

It was like that. And then it got worse.

[hench_wench]

Do you want to tell me about it?

[scanninggaydis]

...Not now. But...at some point. If you wouldn't mind. I'd just tell Eugene, but there's something...something happened that I can't tell him. It would...bother him too much.

[hench_wench]

Hey, it's my job. Do you need anything? Are you thirsty?

[scanninggaydis]

...No, I'm-- I don't need anything.

[hench_wench]

Do you want anything? It's not the lap of luxury, but...

[scanninggaydis]

Juan offered to get some books from my room later. Other than that...no. I can't think of anything.

[hench_wench]

Yeah, he's getting them now. Anything you want, just say the word. He's chomping at the bit to fuss over you.

[scanninggaydis]

[laughing that low 'yeah everything is totally alright really' Felix laugh]

Guess I need to start giving him a little more credit...

[hench_wench]

That's what I've been saying.

He's got a lot of guilt backed up.

[scanninggaydis]

...Yeah. I mean. Even the last.....thing in the hospital started out with him trying to help me.

[Luckily there is almost no way to frak this up as badly as that. Probably.]

[hench_wench]

[leans back and crosses her arms]

He needs to be useful. It's a whole... thing.

[scanninggaydis]

I'm...getting that, yes

[hench_wench]

You, me, and Cesare are like... the only people he talks to. Can you blame him for getting protective?

[scanninggaydis]

No. I guess I can't.

...Not that I would, anyway. Not for that.

[hench_wench]

... Well. I've told you enough about his good points.

[scanninggaydis]

Sometimes they get a little overshadowed.

[Sometimes is basically all the time.]

...But not right now.

[hench_wench]

He-

[Frowns a little and chews on a nail. Clearly wants to say something she's not sure if it's really a conversation she wants to get into.]

[Takes another look at Felix's chart instead.]

You can have something else for pain in about three hours.

[scanninggaydis]

...Alright.

[Definitely not feeling up to pressing the issue]

[hench_wench]

Do you want someone to stay in the room with you?

[scanninggaydis]

No. No, I'll be...fine.

[he needs some space to be a wreck in private, thanks]

[hench_wench]

[pats his thigh]

"Fine" is asking for a little much. I'll be just outside. Juan should be back with the books soon.

[scanninggaydis]

Yeah, okay.

...Thanks, Harley. I...I really appreciate all of this.

[hench_wench]

[shrugs]

S'not like we're doing anything special.

[scanninggaydis]

I don't think that's strictly true.
