[The video feed turns on, and the screen is shaking so hard it's hard to make out Luke's face. When the screen is still enough to focus, it's clear Luke's not doing very well: his hat is crooked, his face flushed with a fever, and his eyes watering slightly against how much everything hurt. He eventually gives up and drops the communicator onto the

L-Luke! Are you...will you be alright?

[ Oh gosh what do what do what doooo. ]

[ Voice ] And it is voice because Luke can't be bothered to press any buttons -_-

[luke_triton]

F...Flora?!

W-when did you g-get h-here?

[What do is right, seeing as he's in no shape to help her in any way, regardless of whether or not she needed help.]

[ Voice ] Poor Luke ;;

[verdantventure]

A few days ago, but...[ lskdjfl Oh gosh she has. No idea how to react in this situation.

She wants to help him, but just doesn't know how. ]

Is...is someone coming to get you? Maybe Clive--

[ Voice ] bad day can has ;-;

[luke_triton]

[Ready for him to microfocus on one thing you said, Flora?]

C-Clive is h-here?! S-since...w-when?

[Excitement is not good for lungs filled with mucous, and he coughs.]

Luke!

Where are ya? Is someone' comin' ta get ya?

[Video]

[luke_triton]

[He shivers and cringes. Yelling is definitely not necessary because his head is definitely considering exploding.]

O-outside? O-outside I t-think. I-it's c-cold..

Re: [Video]

[westdetective]

Where outside? Is anyone comin' ta get ya?

[Video]

[luke_triton]

S-somewhere c-cold.

[Sorry Heiji. He can't quite tell because it is both dark and he is sick.]

[puzzledprof]

...Luke? Where are you, my boy?

[luke_triton]

P..Professor?

I t-think I'm o-outside b-because it's so c-cold..

[That is about as helpful as his information is going to get, Professor, seeing as he's got quite a fever.]

[puzzledprof]

Are you still in Dissumulo?

[luke_triton]

I...I d-don't r-remember g-going anywhere.

[Speaking of what he remembers, actually]

T-the l-last thing I r-remember w-was one of t-those s-shadows c-coming after m-me.

[Video]

[dreamtamer]

Hey, are you okay? What happened?

[Video]

[luke_triton]

T-Takato? Y-you c-came b-back!

[He can have a one track mind, especially when he's sick.]

[Video]

[dreamtamer]

Um, have we met?

[This was the second person he'd met here who'd acted like they knew him.]

[Video]

[luke_triton]

Y-you...y-you w-were h-here b-before..

[Inwardly, he tried to convince himself to make sense explaining how Takato had lived in the house with him before, but that might not work out too well since he couldn't make the story make sense in his head at the moment, either.]

W-We l-lived in the s-same h-house, b-but th-then you w-went home..

[sojournsparrow]

[Haer'Dalis gives the young boy a worried look]

Are you alright lad? You look like you stared into the depths of hell, and were then sucked in and spat back out again.

[Video]

[luke_triton]

[In response to his worried look, Luke looks incredibly confused.]

I...I d-don't un-underst-stand wh-what you are t-talking a-about.

[Now would be a good time to use small words and short sentences, though if Luke could understand what Haer'Dalis said, he would have agreed that some really scary stuff had happened in the last week or so.]

[Video]

[sojournsparrow]

[Now he's genuinely concerned.]

Are you okay? Are you sick? Do you need help?

[Video]

[luke_triton]

I th-think I'm s-sick...i-it's r-really c-cold and e-everything h-hurts and I d-don't r-remember how I g-got here.

[Even gentlemen get scared and Luke is almost beside himself and, somehow, Haer'Dalis is the first person to ask.]
