Alright, Stein still hasn't come home, and the clinic is, like, seriously understaffed

...you really do not look good.

[ N frowns at the screen. But he has nothing actually helpful to add, because Stein's the only doctor he knows, and Stein is -- ]

What do you mean Stein's not come home?

[prominence_glow]

He's been missing for a long time now, but his name is still on the SFC. I've looked everywhere, but he's nowhere.

Well, just about everywhere.

[singularjustice]

...do you think something happened to him? Or is he just hiding? He might not want to be found.

[prominence_glow]

Stein's not like that. He may not take care of himself too well sometimes, but he's not the kind of guy who wouldn't tell his work he'll take a few days off.

[ninthserenade]

I swear to Light once you're better I'm kicking your butt.

[Y U NO LISTEN TO BOYFRIEND--]

[prominence_glow]

[cough cough]

Is that because I'm still sick or because I still have your coat? [cough cough] By the way, I want my scarf back.

[Sure, he has others, in varying colors, but still!]

[ninthserenade]

Close but no cigar. It's 'cause you tied me up and pulled my pants down after getting me all riled up like that. In public.

[He tilts the SFC to display the scarf--Lea's scarf--tied securely around his neck.]

No way, man. Not 'til you make it up to me later.

[prominence_glow]

Good times, good times. But I said I'd make you regret it.

But seriously, give me back my scarf. Are you honestly gonna taunt a sick boy?

Get some rest, idiot. Or do I have to come over there and tie you to the bed?

[AKA, I am annoyed at you for thinking it's a good idea to do this or anything while you're sick.]

[prominence_glow]

[Lea just hunches his shoulders up beneath the blankets and fidgets.]

I've been resting! ...A little.

[beforemoonfall]

...A little?

[Stare. Stare. Stare.]

[prominence_glow]

I-I've been busy and- stop trying to make me feel guilty!

[screwperseus]

[Medusa responds with a small smile and a look of concern.]

Hello, Lea. You look terrible. What exactly seems to be the problem?

[[video]] Glee! This is a nice wake up. <3

[prominence_glow]

Mn, everything, Med. Last couple of days, my throat's really started to hurt, and I've been really dizzy. I get lost easier too- and I, like, never get lost, I know this place like the back of my hand.

I was wonderin' if you could visit or somethin'? I'd come over, but everyone says I should stay in bed.

[The lie comes easy to him, partially because he's just so used to it with saying similar to his parents to skip out on a school day or to try and get one past the guards. It's also mostly true, because he really is this sick.]

[[video]] Sorry it took me so long!

[screwperseus]

[She seems to hesitate for a moment before answering.]

Yes, I can come to you. Where do you live, exactly?

[[video]] It's okay!

[prominence_glow]

Stein's house. Hold on-

[He reaches for the SFC and types out the address to her.]
