I'm not sure it was the alcohol that did that. Though that does sound absolutely disgusting. I'd offer to bring you some decent food, but you wouldn't eat it anyway.
I'll be over later this evening. I'd have come sooner, but I was unconscious. As I'm sure you know. :P

The hospital tends to make an exception for wards visiting Guardians. Given that this is the kind of hospital that has Healing Angels on staff just in case, it can only be expected that they'd be understanding about it. And they've noticed that Lily does better -- usually -- when Kaden's around. So as long as he shows up at a reasonable hour, they tend to let him stay a bit later than they might anyone else
( ... )
"A case study on AoVs," Lily says, sighing. "I got it off the AoKBoS, through my magical powers of persuasion, but it seems they don't have any decent data on them."
Or at least, they don't have any data on them that they were willing to share with her. Her name might get her access to a lot of their data, but at the same time, it is an ethics-violation warning flag, even if nothing can be proven.
"Also, you're late." This, according to her tone, is far more important than the research she is doing. She stiffens slightly, staring down at the papers in front of her intently. She's not returning his gestures of affection until he apologizes for making her think he wasn't coming. Of course, it's not like she has a lot of room to talk, in regards to abandonment issues.
Kaden notices the stiffening, the way she doesn't return the gesture, and stifles a frown. Fine, if she wants to be like that. So he just ruffles her hair, messing it up extra, and goes to sit at the foot of her bed, crosslegged. Getting his shoes all over your blankets: it's what he do. At least, it's what he do to his sister.
"This still part of your pet project?" he asks. "You might have better luck asking about the wingless, rather than AoVs specifically. Or you could prod around the family and see if anyone has any leftover data lying around." Most of the data from WWII was put away, but he knows that they'd be able to get their hands on it if they asked the right relatives.
He shrugs. "And I was late because I got halfway here and then realized I left the pictures at home," he says, leaning across the bed to grab his coat. "Did Midori tell you we have a new sister?"
"Yeah, because if I go poking around the Board asking for data on the wingless, they'll totally hand it right over to me!" Lily says, sounding annoyed. "Just because my family did some not-exactly kosher things during the war doesn't mean that all of us spend our spare time torturing people in the name of science. And they should just give me their stupid data."
Not that the Board would be giving her any data, if it weren't for her name. She sighs, putting down her highlighter and shrugging. "And it's difficult for me to tell if old wingless data will even do that much for me. AoVs are different. Their Callings manifest so specifically and focus so hard. I'm not sure that studying, say, a guardian or a children's angel with no wings will give anything near the kind of results I need. The only comparable Callings I can think of would be the ones in our family, and I doubt there's any data in that range

Don't know what you're talking about.

I'll come visit you later today, though. Did you get through the weekend alright?

Apparently I can't get better without a healthy diet because the alcohol screwed up my metabolism and vitamins or something.
And I'll be glad to see you. It's been too long.
