[ If the morning's trial hadn't been miserable enough … ]

[ Now it's raining! And it's still so foggy you can barely see your own feet. ]

I don't know about that, I think victory would be well in reach.

Wanna bet on that?

What do you want to bet?

Hmmmm ...

Loser has to make the winner a meal?

Sure.

Be ready to make a lot, I need a lot of calories.

You're the one that's gonna have to be ready! I want cakes.

[ Offers him a handshake ]

[Will shake her hand with the one not holding her like a sack of potatoes.]

They'll be a long time coming.

We'll see about that.

[ handshake!! ]

Speaking of seeing, when I've got both feet back on the ground, I've got something I've been meaning to show you.

Sure. After we have your feet.

[And now opening medical car.]

[ mumbles, sighing ]

In hindsight, I really should've gone for a hand ...

Not having your hands when you really need your hands is pretty bad.

[Tooooo healing pod.]

Yeah, but at least I could walk.

[ Climbs in, this seems fine ... ]

You were....making progress, at least.

Want me to pay, or you? [Starting the set up, at least.]

I can pay, I've got plenty. But thanks.

[Nodding and just gonna...]

[Slump in a seat near her and SIGH.]

[ today's been a day, my friend ]

[ she'll be in there for an hour or two, sleeping as the pod heals her foot ]

[that's fine]

[He's good just staying here because if he goes out, he's gonna find someone else injured and he's gonna hate himself more for not being there so]

[Here's good]

[ please feel less responsible, gosh ]

[ PING ]

[ SHE'S DONE ]

[How does one do that.]

[May have been napping, sitting in a chair and half leaning against a wall near the pod.]

[ Her foot's back! Just like that! Wow ... and Dusk is - ]

[ She doesn't have the heart to wake him. Silently sits down on the floor nearby, giving him a little longer. ]

[He does manage a few more minutes. But pod being off is a change in sounds and he eventually jerks away, sitting up straight and looking around.]

Ah, you're awake ... [ Waves from her place on the floor. ] Hey.

....why are you on the floor?

It's nice down here.

[ Hops up to her feet! Look! She's got two now! MULTIPLE FEET. PLURAL FEET. ]

Now come on, I've got something I want to show off.

If you say so.

[Looking at her hopping up and visibly relaxes.]

All right. You sure you're up for it?
