[Yes, his tone is annoyed. Yes, he should be sleeping. Yes, he sounds like he's been used as Fate's punching bag. And yet, still sarcastic.]

Visiting hours haven't started. You're exhausting the nurses.

[ooc: Kept overnight at the hospital for observation after his checkup on Friday, and they're making him stay. A lot of people

Where are all these people coming from?

[missesthestars]

He rather is, isn't he?

[cal_sitter]

So you see, Cal can be spared the duty.

[missesthestars]

I still think, given the choice, Cal would rather be with you, wherever you are.

Was that Rafferty I hear you talking to? Can he help?

[cal_sitter]

For all intents and purposes, he is with me. He just doesn't know that I ever left.

Rafferty hasn't said. We've never gone to him for something like this.

[missesthestars]

"For all intents and purposes" doesn't cover the reality of the City.

Ah, only the gaping wounds and near-death experiences, then.

[cal_sitter]

Money was tight, and we can't expect him to work for free. When we could handle it ourselves, we did.

[missesthestars]

And still do.

[cal_sitter]

Old habit. You know how that works.

[missesthestars]

Better than most, I imagine. My habits being of an older nature.

[cal_sitter]

Indulge me in mine now and again.

[missesthestars]

Very well, I'll not mention it again today.

[cal_sitter]

I'm letting them help, and I'll let him. I swear to you.

[missesthestars]

I know, Niko, I just... it pains me to see you ill.

[cal_sitter]

I know that, and I don't want to see you hurt.

[missesthestars]

You'll be well soon. I won't consider the alternative, not over something like this.
