Are you at work right now?
From: Lionel
Yeah, I got on about two hours ago. Why?
From: Rhys
Can you get off?
From: Lionel
What happened?
From: Lionel
You're scaring me
From: Rhys
Liala had... an accident? At the hospital. While we were getting our shots.
From: Lionel
Wait what? Define accident
From: Rhys
I don't really know how.
From: Lionel
Well I'm going to have to ask you to try because I’m trying not to freak out
From: Lionel
And don't be vague or cryptic about it either. Is she okay?
From: Rhys
She's fine now, but they made us sit around and wanted to do blood work.
From: Rhys
She declined, because neither of us were too sure how to bring up the fact that she's, well… Liala
From: Lionel
Okay so then tell me what happened
From: Rhys
Her blood pressure is low and her pulse has been weak all day, but she's up now.
From: Rhys
Well, not really, I got her back to your apartment and I'm making sure she’s resting.
From: Rhys
We were leaving and she fainted.
From: Lionel
And after that?
From: Rhys
We sat in the back waiting room and she had some biscuits and juice and insisted that she was fine but would come back in later if she wasn't feeling well.
From: Lionel
Okay okay okay do you want me to come home? Should I come home?
From: Rhys
I think we need to decide what's going to happen for Lianel.
From: Rhys
We can't keep up this charade any longer, but I don't know how we're expected to broach the subject with the APM or whatever
From: Lionel
Oh. Yeah. Good point. It's one thing to erase data so they can't have proof that I've already been there. But with an accident like that...
From: Lionel
I mean, Kaito and I could always just go on a day where they have a different shift of nurses?
From: Rhys
Right, and how are you going to work that out?
From: Rhys
Got a secret contact in the hospital now too that I don't know about?
From: Lionel
...........
From: Lionel
No.
From: Rhys
That pause is either you being guilty because you do or being shamed because yes I am still upset with earlier.
From: Lionel
The latter. I don't have anyone in the hospital, or I feel like a lot of this wouldn't have happened.
From: Lionel
Or I would at least have a better idea about what it is and why it is happening.
From: Rhys
We'll figure it out. We always do.
From: Lionel
Not always, but don't let me discourage you from encouraging my errant behavior
From: Rhys
I'd rather you didn't, but if you do, just don't tell me
From: Lionel
Would it be bad to say that Kaito and I are pretty good at that?
From: Rhys
I'm going to completely ignore that.
From: Rhys
But to answer your earlier question, you can come home if you want. I don't want you at work worrying about her. I know...
From: Rhys
I know how hard this has been on you, helping monitor her health these last few years
From: Rhys
And I know that it has worn on you more than you want to admit, because you are her twin
From: Rhys
But she's okay now, and should sleep.
From: Lionel
okay
From: Lionel
Will you stay there until I get home?
From: Rhys
Of course.
From: Lionel
Thanks
From: Rhys
We'll be okay.
From: Lionel
I know
From: Lionel
We always are.
