[open] 020 -- glorious return?

[not_meatbuns]

[Guess who's back, BFL? Your local doctor! Only she's not looking too good. She definitely looks sick, and particularly confused. Brobots didn't cart her off to her trailer, just sort of dumped her off in the Spiral Hub like the last time

L-Litchi?!

[running up to her bff omg she missed you ; n;]

Where have you been?!

[not_meatbuns]

[Slight pause. Memories take a second to link up after being rearranged on you.

Ah, there it is. Big smile.]

Yoko! I'm sorry if I worried you. I suppose I was due for a trip back home.

[40cal_chalk]

[woah, that look Litchi gave her is a bit unsettling...]

A-are you okay? You look kind of spacey...

[not_meatbuns]

I'll be fine. Just-- [Cough.] -- a little sick right now is all. I'm afraid I got a bit too much exposure to the seithr while I was home again.

Honestly, it's a little embarrassing. I really should have known better.

[40cal_chalk]

Jeez, Litchi. You should be more careful...

[Yoko leans down and hooks one of Litchi's arms around her shoulders, WHETHER LITCHI LIKES IT OR NOT.]

Come on, I'm taking you somewhere more comfortable.

[not_meatbuns]

[NOT LIKE SHE CAN DO MUCH ABOUT IT ANYWAY. Still, she leans in against Yoko gratefully.]

I'm really sorry to be such a bother. Hopefully I'll be able to make a recovery in the next few weeks.

[40cal_chalk]

Shut up, Litchi. [She means that in the most affectionate way possible, really.] Do you want to go to the clinic or your trailer?

[not_meatbuns]

[As much as she just wants to settle down on her couch with some tea right now, she knows it's not the best idea.]

The clinic is probably best for now. [Cough.] Sorry.

Thank you for this, Yoko.

[40cal_chalk]

It's nothing. Don't worry about it.

[Yoko proceeds to take Litchi to the clinic. At least there will be plenty of beds for Litchi to relax on when they get there.

And when they do, Yoko even goes to lead her into one of them, complete with tucking Litchi under some sheets. She'd felt awfully cold to Yoko.]

Is there anything you need?

[not_meatbuns]

[Oh, Yoko. ♥ You're a lifesaver. Getting around without Tager seemed like it was going to be such a nightmare.]

Some oolong tea would be wonderful, if it's no trouble. And I have some medicine on the far right, top shelf of this room that would probably be rather useful as well.

[40cal_chalk]

Coming right up.

[Yoko goes ahead and gets the tea set up. While the water is busy warming up, she goes for the medicine Litchi requested--strangely enough, she doesn't go where Litchi asks her to, but ends up with the same stuff anyway. She holds out the bottle for Litchi to see, offering a smile.]

You're thinking about these, right?

[not_meatbuns]

[They... weren't where she thought? Maybe she mixed it up with her clinic back in Kagutsuchi. She could have sworn...

Just... shaking her head to clear the confusion and smiling.]

Yes, this is it exactly. Thank you.

[40cal_chalk]

[She sees the confusion in Litchi's face, meeting it with a smile.]

Don't worry, you aren't losing your mind. I ordered some new medicines, so I ended up having to reorganize the place.

[Yoko gathers two of the pills, replacing the bottle. She leaves them on the bed tray, assuming that Litchi would want her tea to take the pills with. She goes to fetch said tea, taking a few moments to make it just the way Litchi likes it, and returning it to Litchi.]

Here you go.

I can match it, don't worry.

[not_meatbuns]

[Litchi laughs lightly at the reassurance that she's not losing it, taking her tea and giving Yoko a grateful smile.]

Thank you. And I'm glad I wasn't just imagining it.

[She'll just take a nice long drink of her tea and knock back the pills. It should help with the seithr symptoms in no time.]

It's just that... I kept misplacing things in my clinic back home before I woke up here. Although I wouldn't put it past Professor Kokonoe to rearrange things just to mess with me.

*symmetrical docking

[40cal_chalk]

[Yoko has a seat on the edge of Litchi's bed.]

That happens when you get sick. Just take it easy, okay? There's no seithr here.

[not_meatbuns]

Of course. Everything should be just fine now.

[Before she can get coughing again, she just drinks a little more tea. Contented sigh.]

I have to admit, being back here is a nice break. The professor is a wonderful woman and all, but I have to say, she's difficult to be around day in and day out.
