[kingofrooks]

Hey, Re-l?

I might be late for work today. Have some things to take care of first!

[ ... And he doesn't come into the station at all. ]

call, 11am

[proxysearch]

[Yeah, she doesn't care if you come in, but if you don't warn her, she's going to worry. And she's calling him now.]

[kingofrooks]

[ Not picking up, oops. ]

[proxysearch]

[Christ, Bruce, give her a heart attack. She's going to keep calling.]

[kingofrooks]

[ Uhm, around evening, he finally picks up- ]

Hello?

[proxysearch]

[She pushes the relief out of her voice.]

God, Bruce, where the hell have you been?

[kingofrooks]

Uhm.

[ Pauseeeeeeeeee. ]

It's kind of complicated. I'm okay now, though. I swear.

[proxysearch]

You're okay "now"? What happened?

[kingofrooks]

I kind of got mugged.

[proxysearch]

[The anger drains out of her.]

Kind of?

Where are you.

[kingofrooks]

Kind of, because I'm missing a whole bunch of stuff, but they left me my NV, which is just weird.

I'm- actually, I'm not very sure. Hang on. [ Pauuuuuuse ] Sector Four? Nearish the Apartments.

[proxysearch]

Let me come get you. Did they hurt you? Do you need a doctor?

[kingofrooks]

... Er.

Please don't come.

[proxysearch]

...Why?

[kingofrooks]

[ There's a suspicious silence, and if she listens closer she can hear a very soft, ragged inhale.

He's ripping off his stitches so the wounds look newer and rawer. At the same time, 'Brucie' is trying to not appear like he needs the help because of his pride. ]

Because I'm totally fine.

[proxysearch]

[She frowns sharply.]

Bruce, you're hurt. Let me come get you and stop being an idiot.
