[Action: Call to Valdi] It kills me not to know this, but I've all but just forgotten
((OOC: Set for this afternoon, May 17th, in the hours following the first events in the Sindre thread))

".....what..."
So this is what it felt like, to have your world fall apart. Kai's voice still rang through the receiver, as he tried to find the words to make sense of everything.
But that would be impossible, because Valdi wasn't listening anymore.
Sindre was hurt, hurt and...beneath a bookshelf. The mental image came to him more quickly than he would have liked; fire, smoke- the store was a smörgåsbord of flammable items. And there was Sindre in the middle of it all, trapped.
It almost seemed...unreal, that someone who had taken on the Mafia for him and commanded a whole league of invisible creatures could be weakened like that.
"what...." He tried again as his mind slowly grasp at the notion that Kai was still not-so-calmly waiting on the other end. Valdi shook his head; he'd never been good at English in the best of times.
But finally his brain caught up with him.
Sindre was in hospital. There was a fire at the magic shop. Kai was--
Kai had been--
"You...Are you okay? Where are you? Wait, I'm going to try and get there."
There was the sound of scrambling as he pushed away from the table and hurried across the room, grabbing bag, coat and keys while still holding the phone to his year.

He felt terrible telling Valdi all of this, but the weight of the situation was better levered by himself than some unfeeling nurse or doctor, he figured. "Whatever is the biggest hospital-- Sindre's there. Just worry about finding him. I'm fine."

"I worry about you," He sighed in the same tongue, pausing in his hurried departure to flip the laptop open and quickly google the quickest route to Liberty's largest hospital. A 20 minute wait until the next bus, and another 20 minutes transport, pending traffic.
At least Sindre would be looked after at the hospital and- he hoped- resting.
"Do you mind if you stay on the phone for a bit? It'll take me about 40 minutes to get there, and even if its not for that long, I would feel a lot better."

Which meant if they had a handle on his phone at any time earlier, the hospital probably just levied a quite pricey call to Denmark. Which meant that he'd be hearing all about this in both male and female chorus in the next couple days. He sighed inwardly as a drained look washed over his face. It was honestly the last thing he needed to hear from mom right now, and he didn't want to be the one to break the news to Søren.
"I'll stay on the line as long as I can. I don't know if I'm supposed to be on the phone here-- I'm still in the emergency room," He replied. "Then again I've never been one much for rules and etiquette so quite honestly they can kiss my ass."

Despite the situation, Valdi managed a laugh on the other end. There was something endearing about Kai's persistent defiance; strong until the end- or at least as far as the Emergency room, which was much further than Valdi would ever wish to test it.
To him, it was a sign that the Dane would be okay. Because if he had the strength to backsass society, he had the strength to look after himself.
"It would have been that, or a late night text from Sindre. 'Not coming home tonight.'" Valdi smiled inwardly, but it was a melancholic smile. Sindre would probably want him to not worry, and brush it off like he had every other injury.
But they'd promised to be honest now, hadn't they?
"I will be there as soon as I find him. Heh...try not to get into a fight with the staff, alright?"

"And I can be good. I won't punch anyone, or throw up down the front of a Doctor's jacket," He replied with a hoarse laugh, coupled soon after by cough. "Just.. don't work yourself up into a panic. Find Sindre and stay with him. I'll come find you."

"I'm gonna hold you to that." He'd made it to the Charleston Lobby, and a quick glance at the wall clock told him he'd either have to run or wait around for another bus.
"Uhh..I have to run. I'll talk to you later, okay? ...Please try to make it." Please look after yourself

He held out, though, not wanting to scare the other man even more when his world had already been made topsy turvy. "Please be safe," Kai instead ended their conversation with before killing the connection, his arm falling flush with the mattress as strength left him.
