Patient PN

Mom, I had an AH BORE SHON.

Ed: ^going through the motions and getting his visitor pass to bring contraband to Al, because no brother of mine eats hospital food^

Roy: ^and as he moves through he bumps into someone, knocking that shit EVERYWHERE^

Al: ^sitting on the windowsill waiting for ed having watched him come in from the parking lot^ repeatng^ I feel good brother, I can come home, I dont have a fever, see? I dont have a fever ^jiggles leg nerbously^

ed: ^blankly stares for a second just the pure expression of This Might As Well Happen^ ^Softly but with feeling^ Fuck

Alai: ^coming in to check on him^ I dont think he;ll believe that

Roy: Well...this is unfortunate ^flicks sauce fom his arm^ are you alright?

Al: Alai ^stands up^ Good afternoon

ed: ^grimaces slightly^ Sorry, i didnt even see you, im fine just ^waves hand limply and crouches to pick thigs up and salvage what he can

alai: ^goes to check his whatevers that he needs^ How are you feeling truthfully

Roy: it's alright, let me help you ^and honestly none of it is^

Al: I'm feeling really good! ^which I'm sure he can see is a lie from his vitals^

Ed: ^frusterated sigh^ what a fucking mess...

Alai: hmm, interssting, this tells me otherwise

Roy: . Frowns. Rough day???

Al: . Pouts. It's a liar

ed: ^tries to force a smile^ Its just a day

alai: ^amused glint in eye^ as far as im aware, the medical equipment doesn't lie

Roy: I'm clocking out is there anything I can do to help?

Al: . Tries to not get distracted by him. I... it could, haven't you seen irobot?

ed: ^Shakes head a little^ nah, ive already ruined your day, go enjoy ^small little gesture^ being off

alai: ^thoughtful hum^ I have not, actually. so the equipment's as honest as I know

Roy: I really don't mind, besides part of the fault id my own, I wasn't paying enough attention either

Al: . Small sigh. And what does the equipment say

Ed: I gotta smuggle food for my brother, don't really know howyou can helpwith that

Alai: .regretful. That you won't be able to leave tonight

Roy: I can take you to get more food?

Al: ^eyes drop to his lap and bites lip^ Thats.... will you be here tonight Alai? Or do you still go home before the night shift....?

Ed: .genuinely looks like that never neverwould've registered. Can i...buy you food too?

Alai: I can stay, I think sometimes looking for someone else to pick up a shift
