Ugh.

Come on, you're not that hard to find.

Okay, Dante, any time now. It's really not cool to disappear on me when people are exploding. You can knock it off now. I'm not going to spend more time looking for you! Of course, you're going to get lost easily aren't you?

[Why, she's not concerned, at all. Never.]

You're an idiot! You stick out like a sore thumb with that mop of white hair you never comb and your obnoxious red coats. So stop it, Dante! Get your ass over here or I promise I won't be as kind as the last time!

[the_good_doctor]

[You know, since Watson and Lady are apparently suite-mates and all, have a concerned knock at the connecting door through their common bathroom.]

Is everything all right?

[action!]

[magnificat]

[She doesn't open the door immediately, at least, not yet.]

I can't find my friend.

[action!]

[the_good_doctor]

[Watson's going to resume shaving then. Keeping a moustache looking this work takes effort, after all.]

Someone from home?

Have you tried looking at the list?

[magnificat]

I shouldn't...

Have to look for him. He's good about these things.

[But on that note, frantically, Lady is moving out the door after his last message. He can hear her leaving about now, without explanation.]

[action!]

[magnificat]

[When Lady comes back, she's covered in blood, tripping up the stairs to the suites again.]

Damn it, there has to be a fucking doctor around here!

[action!]

[the_good_doctor]

[By this time, Watson's done tending to his moustache and has been polishing his surgical instruments. He hears Lady's exclamation, opening the door of his room as she passes.]

You called? Dr Watson at your -- what happened to you?

You -- found your friend, then?

[action!]

[magnificat]

[As a bloodied Lady passes, she stops dead in her tracks, turning to him. Did he say "Doctor"? Morever... "Watson"?

This brings relief, the girl catches her breath, finally.]

Nothing happened to me, my friend- He's severely hurt. I did what I could to stop blood loss, but-

[action!]

[the_good_doctor]

[Watson's already busy, sweeping his surgical instruments into his black doctor's bag.]

Where is he?

[action!]

[magnificat]

Oh, thank god.

[Lady breathes a sigh of relieve as she watches him.]

He's in the Loki district, that house. I know where he is, I carried him.

[action!]

[the_good_doctor]

That house -- the welcome Hall?

[Watson scoops up his walking stick, striding down the hall as quickly as he can. Loki is close enough to Thor that he won't need his coat or hat, and he trusts Lady will keep up.]

[action!]

[magnificat]

[She can and she will. As Lady starts to rub away dried blood from her face, she is breaking out into a jog.]

No, his place. I carried him there. He-

[It's so terrible, she doesn't want to say it.]

[ This will come SOME TIME later. Dante sounds very out of breath, but since when doesn't he have time for snark? That's right: never. ]

Aw, ain't this just the cutest damn thing.

[THIS IS NOT A SIGH OF RELIEF]

voice;

[magnificat]

Don't scare me like that.

voice;

[magnificat]

The least you can do is keep in touch when people are dropping like flies!

voice;

[magnificat]

I'm not here to baby sit you.

voice;

[nipplebelt]

Heh. Well. Guess it's good I'm not a baby then, huh?

voice;

[magnificat]

You're too unreliable.

voice;

[nipplebelt]

Nice t' see you missed me.

[ You can almost hear the grin. And then he coughs. ]

voice;

[magnificat]

[Lady notices his cough.]

Dante, are you alright?

voice;

[nipplebelt]

Do me a favor?

voice;

[magnificat]

What is it?

voice;

[nipplebelt]

Save it and kick my ass later.

[ And then. THUD. ]

[magnificat]

Wh- what do you mean?

[magnificat]

Dante!
