Harry was currently... "standing watch". Or trying. It'd been three days, very busy days, and as much as he knew it was ridiculous that Tsunade would come back injured, he'd been trying to stay up so that he could be there if there was any problem when she came back. He was sitting slumped in a chair opposite the bed, resting his eyes while his mind stayed sharp and completely conscious when the groan caught his attention.

"Hmmm?"

he looked up sleepily, expecting Komaki asking for more food, or maybe something from his 'berry.

"Tsunade?" he straightened up, trying to wake himself up quickly.

"You're back!"

[slug_sannin]

"I was gone? Damn, I was hoping I'd had a good night I couldn't remember." Tsunade pushed herself up on her elbow, rubbing her forehead. She recognized the feeling of being returned after being catatonic.

"How long was I out?" Wait a second . . . "You're in my room."

Komaki dive bombed her queen, wings buzzing excitedly and kissing Tsunade all over her face.

"Not this time. Sorry. It's been...."

Yeah. Harry has to count on his fingers.

"Three days.

I thought. Um. Well. The dog needed feeding, and in case you, you know, needed..." He gestured a bit.

"And the biodome is trying to kill people again, so the files on last time, and...and..."

He blinked.

"Sorry. I'm a bit tired."

Yeah. Those are definitely three days worth of rings under Harry's eyes.

[slug_sannin]

She subdues Komaki before turning her attention back to Harry. "Three days. And the biodome is attacking people. So that's why your collar is gold. I'd wondered."

It was a relief that her boyfriend hadn't managed to get himself killed again. Tsunade pushed herself fully upright, holding her hand out to him. "You look like hell. Have you slept at all?"

[harry_b_dresden]

"Uh. Not... really. No. Maybe an hour or so a night. I've been busy. Someone had to make up antidotes and translate your handwriting and make up Tyki's scar balm and Komui-

Oh yeah."

Harry looks away, reaching over to pull something off Tsunade's shelf.

It's Komui's little vial of opium. with maybe just a little less in it.

"He told me it was for his arm. I... couldn't read the label.

I'm sorry."

[slug_sannin]

She sighs, rubbing her temples. "I forget how clever he can be when there's something he really wants. I'll do another check of his room once I've gotten caught up."

Tsunade shifts Komaki out of the way, gesturing at Harry. "Come here. They can fend for themselves for a couple minutes."

[harry_b_dresden]

"it helped that he was clearly legitimately in pain. Link caught up to me afterwards, but without that leg he wasn't quick enough."

He smiles, and slides into the bed next to her, wrapping his arms around her.

"I don't know how you manage all this, but..."

[slug_sannin]

"I need to work on Link's case. Get Eddie involved, I don't know. I have to do something."

She wraps her arms around him and leans into him.

"Lots of practice. They'll start screaming for me as soon as they know I'm here, but they don't need to know for just a little bit. It looks like you're the one overworking yourself."

[harry_b_dresden]

"It's ok. I've been getting my leisure activities in.

I pissed off the scrawny egyptian god or whatever he is in this suite. Ass called me an obelisk. So I threatened him with my magic stick. Which is just a stick this week, I guess."

Harry makes a happy little noise, curling around her instinctively.

"No. They definitely don't."

[slug_sannin]

"I was enjoying having a suite where none of my neighbors wanted me dead. And none of the resident gods wanted me dead, either. I knew it couldn't last."

She flops back on her bed, dragging him down with her.

"What else happened while I was out? Other than you playing doctor."

[harry_b_dresden]

"Odds are he's just super cocky. hard to say. This week though? The most dangerous thing in the whole facility just fluttered over to give you a kiss."

He goes down with a happy sort of groan. Ahhhh, beds. Beds with lovely soft Tsunades in them. It'd been a while.

"Nothing earth shattering. It was muddy, then it wasn't, and I hit a few plants with my stick."

[slug_sannin]

"Komaki is a vicious killing machine. Really." The vicious killing machine is currently using one of Tsunade's pig tails as a tug toy. Growling adorably.

She settles in with her head on Harry's shoulder and her arm around his waist. "And making a mess of my files, I'm sure. Glad you were able to hold things together for me."

[harry_b_dresden]

"You'd be disappointed if I didn't."

D'awwww. harry reaches over to pet the little winged puppy.

"By the way, if you feel a little warm lump somewhere it's probably Hazard. he's been sulking since I gave him the world's bathiest bath on sunday."

[slug_sannin]

"I was wondering where the other puppy had gotten off to." Tsunade pokes around with her foot until she finds a warm lump that doesn't want to move. "There he is. He really is pissed."

She drags Komaki over by her pig tail. No point in trying to break the pup's grip. "Are you doing okay, other than not sleeping?"

[harry_b_dresden]

"He'll come around once it's dinnertime. I couldn't help it, he was a mud puppy."

Harry shrugs.

"I guess I've been alright. A few really weird dreams, but I guess that's to be expected. I've been keeping myself busy to try and avoid worrying too much."

[slug_sannin]

"I can only imagine what a mess he was."

She leans over to give him a kiss on the cheek.

"Sorry to worry you. It's been a long time since they took me out of this place. What kind of dreams?"
