She heard the sigh and the curse both - and caring as she is, she pauses at the door.

“Art thou well?” Gently.

....

A wince. "Not really. But thanks for asking." Dryly. Paaainfully dryly.

She comes closer, not sure the voice, though familiar, is the one she thinks it is.

Upon seeing the face...

A blush.

"Oh, Monsieur Lukas!"

Awkward..... doesn't quite cut it.

Eyes up at the ceiling. He tosses the orange to the other hand and eyes it, half amusedly. "Hardly. I'm about half of that, actually."

Because there is no way he's telling her his name. Sorry Phedre.

Guess what? Cyrano forgot his opium pipe and his stitching needle at Locke’s. He didn’t really intend to come back - not until the man had rested, and well… with the Blood being how they are, his attention is much more on them than on a man who tried to use him to kill himself.

But… he wants his pipe and needle back, because you never know when they can come in handy, with the warzone that the Mansion seems to be turning into.

So he comes in, knocking gently.

“Lamorra? Valen?” Gently, softly, in case someone is sleeping.

Locke corrects again that he wasn't trying to kill himself. Not really. He was just being incredibly reckless.

A pause in the orange-tossing and a blink, a frown, trying to recognize the voice, then, "Miss me?" dryly and by way of welcome.

"Hardly, Lamora," he replies, wincing - he was hoping to make this a quick errand.

"I do, however, miss my pipe and my needle." A pause, because he just realized it.

"Along with my glove, which you never returned."

And because there is humor in the situation, he can't help but be amused at himself.

Locke almost laughs, then thinks better of it. "I did notice the former. I suggested I could take it back to you, but Valen nixed that idea." With that same amused but dry note to his voice, but more of the amusement. "I'm afraid I quite forgot about the glove, but it should be - ah..." He thinks. "Damn," he half mutters, "It might be...hard to find."

Because Locke's room is virtually spotless. Mostly because he has been tucking things into the walls ever since he arrived. It was something the Mansion offered him.

Jess is actually here and she's standing there, leaning against the doorway. "Hey," she greets softly, awkwardly as usual, tucking a strand of limp brown hair behind her ear.

He looks over and then grins almost brightly. "Whoa, hey, you."

He does look genuinely pleased to see her.

"Hi, stranger," Jess finds herself saying, immediately feeling dorky at these words.

"Can I come in?"

Locke looks around. "No," dryly, "I think I'm far too busy to accept visitors." And a bit of a smile.

Dear Locke,

Anita's not feeling very well either and is currently being sat on by other friends, or passed out.

She however asked me to tell you that the fact that you are:

very nearly scared into staying in bed out of a combination of not wanting to die

is something that would really make her day.

She also sends her love and says she's forgiven you, in case she dies, and not to worry, because she would be very likely to come back.

She also apologizes, just in case she was wrong and dies. But if she was, then she didn't hide anything of value from you either, so scratch that.

Happy convalescing,

Anita's infamous typist

P.S. We're sorry. We're not very good at giving bad news. Please don't flail too much, she says. It would be nice if you were still alive if or when she comes back.

P.S.2. This typist would like you to inform your typist that she should have a look at the OOC com.

Hehehe. I couldn't resist.

"Yeah, you should." Valen knocks a little belatedly on the doorframe before entering the rest of the way and letting the door close behind him. He goes to sit by the bed. "How're you feeling?"

Oh, well, Valen just got a smile out of Locke. "A little less half-dead than I was?" Then, a little more seriously, "In all honesty, though, bored out of my mind."

"Good," he says with a relieved grin. "That happens when you're not allowed to get out of bed," he points out. "And there's not much that can be done about that until you're closer to being in one piece."

"Damned slow process," a touch mournfully.
