Admiral, if I must ask for Dorian to be brought back, then please do so. I wasn't in any condition to think of him or much of anything yesterday.

Dorian, are you out there somewhere?

Namor? Claire?

[filtered to Armand's friends]

Even though I do not remember this horrific place you all seem to be talking about, I am certain I died there. I don't like

I am here, in the infirmary. Where are you?

[young_idealist]

Also in the infirmary, but it's rather crowded.

Do you remember?

[namorofthesea]

I remember speaking with you, but I'm uncertain as to how I died. [Namor sits up] I see you.

[young_idealist]

Oh, I see you now.

I read about a little of it. I remember nothing.

[young_idealist]

Yes and Yes!

spam?

[young_idealist]

I'm not going anywhere, Loki.

[Voice low, exhaustion and pain clear in his tone. He has waited to respond to Armand.]

I am here.

[young_idealist]

You don't sound well. Are you in the infirmary? Tis very crowded in here.

[more gently]

Do you remember anything?

[His headache remains, splitting and bright, and his voice is low to minimize that pain.]

I remember... very little. I have been told I shot myself.

[He doesn't ask how Armand is. Perhaps he hasn't thought of it.]

That's terrible. No wonder you couldn't find me before I died.

[He's quiet a moment, a long moment.]

I think I should ask the Admiral to find another warden for you. We weren't getting along and this--this is a major failure for us both. It would be difficult to work past.

You're free to tell me exactly what you think. I'm sorry this isn't in person, but I am not allowed out of bed either.

[young_idealist]

[There's a smile in his voice, though he sounds tired, too.]

Good to hear. Rest then.

[young_idealist]

You could visit if you're able. I doubt I'll be out of here by then.
