Mr. Lucas is awake and capable of receiving visitors.

He has requested a change of clothes and his D-comm.

Thank you.

How many hospitals do we work at now?

All of them?

[The doctor smiles back at him and moves to his side. She places his belongings before his bed before hugging him.]

I was so worried about you.

[Hugs back feeling small and frail in her arms]

I'm sorry I ruined our date.

Nein. It was not your fault. It was the fault of that assassin und his partner.

[She ran her hand over his head, trying to be mindful of the wound there.] Do not blame yourself.

[Blushes and just rests his head against her letting her sooth him]

How long was I gone?

Re: [Audio --> Action]

[littlesiskeeper.livejournal.com]

Almost three months.

[She continues to pet him and gives him a small kiss on the cheek.]

[His fur fluffs out a little and he is silent for a long while, enjoying the comforting touch of his lover, trying so hard not to think about what he had to do to bargain his freedom away from Jake.

Trying especially hard not to think about how Jake would pet him the same way...]

I-it seems that through trauma and suffering so many relationships are set more firmly...particularly in this world.

Perhaps it is the fear of loss...that makes one realize just how important those relationships are.

...I love you, Kats.

[She held him as close as she could. She loved him so much and the thought he may have been gone forever during those long months had hurt her so much. But she had waited for him, she would have waited forever if need be.]

[His ears prick up and his fur remains fluffed out with heat. There was something in those words that kicked up a torrent of guilt and regret and even a little anger in his stomach. So much lost time, and all those whispered sweet nothings by Jake, all the touching and cooing just to get Kats to perform a deed he himself could only describe as despicable.]

I love you too.

[His response was soft spoken and far away, because try as he might he couldn't shut his brain down and just enjoy her touch. These other confusing feelings would give him no respite.]

[Tenenbaum hears the distance in his reponse and looks at him with a worried expression.]

Kats? Are you alright?

Re: [Audio --> Action]

[techsavytabby.livejournal.com]

[He slumps a little like the wind was taken out of him]

Probably not...

[Hanging his head in shame and exhaustion]

Maybe eventually.

Re: [Audio --> Action]

[littlesiskeeper.livejournal.com]

[She gently runs a hand over his cheek.] I am here for you. I will help however I can. I promise.

Re: [Audio --> Action]

[techsavytabby.livejournal.com]

I-I know.

[Another long silence as he loses himself in his thoughts]

Let's just go home.

Re: [Audio --> Action]

[littlesiskeeper.livejournal.com]

[She nods.] Alright. I will speak with the doctors. Your clothes und D-Comm are here. I will be back soon. [She gives him another kiss on the cheek before leaving the room.]
