[ Julian is looking somewhat the worse for wear today. He’s wearing the same jacket and red uniform that he was wearing on New Year’s Eve, though what can be seen of it looks battered and damaged. He has a black eye, complete with extra bruising and a number of unhealed cuts around his cheekbone and around the side of his head. He’s also holding

[There is an exasperated look on Sofia's face but her voice is clearly relieved.]

Julian. You should have stayed at the hospital. Since you didn't, you are coming over to mine.

[ Uh.

Well this is awkward. ]

I don't need to stay in hospital, I'm fine. They said. [ So many lies. ]

I'm going home.

[Look at this skeptical face, it's for you. She saw what you looked like after you got hurt okay?]

Since the Mac is home, you can come and stay over with me tonight. [Yes Julian in the one bed apartment. She isn't spelling that out over a public video though.]

[ But he's so much better now. He's awake for one thing. ]

...

I could do that.

[ Oh come on. She knows him. That's not an offer he's likely to turn down no matter how many fractured arms he's got. ]

Great. I need to go out and get some milk.

If you tell me where you, I can walk back with you.

[She's not going to bruise his ego by telling him he shouldn't be out wandering around.]

[ex_julianhe]

[ This is making him suspicious again. ]

I'm already out, I can get it. I'm going to the store anyway.

Re: Video

[sofiawind]

If you want but I'd like to get out for a walk.

[ex_julianhe]

[ Whatever. ]

I'm on [ street name ], heading for the MAC. You want to come, I'm not gonna stop you.

[video + action]

[sofiawind]

I will see you soon.

[Sofia ends the video. To avoid pushing through the crowds, she flies until she reaches a street away from where Julian should be before she drops down into the moving crowds.

When she reaches the street, Julian's red uniform makes him an easy to notice target and she walks faster to catch up with him. She comes up on his right side, so that the injured him as between them as less likely to be jarred by anyone pushing by him.]

Hi. Did the hospital give you painkillers?

[video + action]

[ex_julianhe]

[ He wasn't surprised to see her flying, though he stepped back a little awkwardly when she landed. Balance is kind of an issue right now. He brushes it off and walks.

Of course she's gonna make it even more awkward with questions he can't answer. Of course he doesn't have pills yet, he left against their orders. He just tries to cover it. ]

Hey. I'm gonna get them now, that's why I'm going to the store. All I need's aspirin, I wasn't gonna wait around for that.

[sofiawind]

Are you sure you don't need something a little stronger?

[Look Julian, she can't help being suspicious okay? She was worried, and she doesn't have all the information about how you are after it all.]

action forever

[ex_julianhe]

You mean like something alcoholic? [ Yes, he knows she doesn't mean that. No, he's not gonna take this seriously. ] I'm working on that. Aspirin first. I don't wanna be irresponsible.

Re: action forever

[sofiawind]

You aren't going near alcohol for a couple of days.

[ex_julianhe]

[ a harsh laugh. ] You wanna bet?

[sofiawind]

Yes I would bet [Sofia is given you a glare to replace the smack that she is itching to give you.]

[ex_julianhe]

Sofia, I got this, okay? I know what I need. [ ignoring that glare... ]
