That's just mean! Remind me to give you a very stern glare when I can actually see you again. Maybe even a sulky pout, too.

[devoutish]

I'm immune to those; you know this.

[phaseshifter]

...What if I also wag my finger and make disappointed sounds?

[devoutish]

My natural inclination for contrariness would kick in.

[phaseshifter]

Darn it. Who'd have thought that my extensive life experience would leave me clueless on how to appropriately scold beardy old gangsters?

[ can you hear the sticky-out-tongue, alfers. CAN YOU ]

[devoutish]

I'm shameless, as well; that does make a difference.

[phaseshifter]

Some people would take that as a challenge!

Luckily for everyone, I'm too smart to take it.

[devoutish]

Mm. Too smart, or too sure of failure?

[phaseshifter]

Same thing, dude. Duh.

[devoutish]

[Pfft, Angel.]

You take care of yourself, not just Rhys. Do you understand me?

[He's doing that "sounding both stern and fond" thing that he manages so well.]

[phaseshifter]

[ She'd love to sigh and YES, DAD, at him, but yeah no can't even do that jokingly. CURSE YOU, DADDY ISSUES ]

I understand. But I think you understand that taking care of Rhys is taking care of me. It feels - iunno. Constructive?

[devoutish]

Yeah. But it's still working round the issue.

[phaseshifter]

Not much else that can be done, dude. But I promise I won't ... Iunno, refuse to be fed and insist my food goes to Rhys or anything. Does that work?

[devoutish]

Yeah. Have a good sleep if you can, as well. Rest.

[phaseshifter]

You too, Alfie.

[ You know what's great? Going to sleep knowing everything's going to be fine and nothing awful will happen overnight that will make you do Questionable Things in the morning. ]

[devoutish]

[He falls silent, and outside of talking to Royce, he'll mostly keep to himself for the next few hours. Later, though, after he's been wheeled away and brought back, he calls out again.]

Angel.

[phaseshifter]

'M here.

[ She's been taken and brought back too, by this point. She's not doing as badly as some, though. If she stays still, with her eyes shut, and doesn't think too much about everything, she's fine. ]

You okay?

[devoutish]

Yeah.

[Just puking and hallucinating and being nauseated, nbd.]

Have you got sunlight in there?

[phaseshifter]

No. Just - just the fake kind. Reminds me of home.

[ Ha. ]

D'you?

[devoutish]

Nah, it's gone.

[phaseshifter]

Have you tried closing your eyes? You might see it that way.

[devoutish]

That's fucking ridiculous, Angel.

[phaseshifter]

It is if you take it literally. I'm saying im-imagine it. It has to be better than what you can see.

[devoutish]

Think I'm hallucinating.

[He mutters. It's probably only just barely audible to her.]

[phaseshifter]

[ Barely audible is enough, of course. She's a listener. ]

...Is it causing you distress?
