I'm afraid you'll have to wait for a better view. I don't believe your body is ready to give that to you just yet.

[enigmaster]

Miss my glasses... [It's a little muttered. Yep, okay, he is super not all there. Edward. Edward honey...]

[agoodname]

They got fairly damaged in the blast. I've been having them repaired; they should be finished in a day or so.

[enigmaster]

Oh... You actually found them? [He's a little surprised.] ...Not sure if it's just the drugs or if my vision actually got worse... [He rubs at his eye a little, but... That's not doing much for him.]

[agoodname]

Yes. I found them first, actually. It's how I found you.

[enigmaster]

Cause of that...? [...] What, you were looking?

[agoodname]

Of course I was. We all were.

[enigmaster]

[Edward frowns a little. Huh.] ...Odds were I was 'lready dead or... or just gone, y'know...

[agoodname]

Yes. We considered that. But... Well. It was better to search and be certain if you'd left, you'd left.

[enigmaster]

[...] Don't really get it...

[agoodname]

....that's alright. Don't worry about it for now. You need to rest. [--which is about the time that Lee comes in] "Oswald? What happened?" [and to that, Oswald huffs, turning on the bed to give her an exasperated look] Someone decided he wanted to sit up for a spell.

[enigmaster]

Mhm... [His attention slips, for a moment and... Oh, Lee's here now. When'd that happen? He blinks a little.]

[agoodname]

[Lee blows out a breath through her nose at that] "I see. Then I'll need to make sure he hasn't torn anything--and perhaps leave a message on the ceiling so when he wakes up, the first thing he sees is not to sit up." [dryly] [Oswald just chuckles lightly at that] I imagine that could possibly be a help, yes.

[enigmaster]

[Edward blinks a few more times. Ah, wait... Wait, they're talking about him. ...Rude.] M'fine...

[agoodname]

[at that, both Lee and Oswald just....look at him with the most deadpan expressions] "....that remains to be seen. I'm going to go get a nurse to help me. Oswald, make sure he stays down this time."

[enigmaster]

[Edward rolls his eye a little... He doesn't need a babysitter, wow.]

[agoodname]

[YEAH THAT LOOK IS GETTING IGNORED while Lee exits again, now to retrieve a nurse so they can make sure Edward hasn't pulled something]

[enigmaster]

...Said I'm fine, right...?

[agoodname]

[Oswald just...arches an eyebrow] Better to make sure, I believe. [DRY]

[enigmaster]

Mm... [Uuuuuuughhhhhh.] Just felt a little sick for a bit, s'all...

[agoodname]

Yes. That's all. [EVEN DRIER] I'm afraid, for now, you'll just have to indulge Lee's every whim. She is your doctor.

[enigmaster]

Yeah, that's all. Just breathed too much, hurt my ribs. Been there, done that...

[agoodname]

You've injured your ribs by breathing too much before? [eyebrow arch at that]

[enigmaster]

I've had broken ribs before. Can't breathe too deep when they're like that. [A lesson he learned the hard way.] ...Way worse last time, though. I didn't, uh... didn't have painkillers then.

[agoodname]

No? [he settles a bit more on the edge of the bed, waiting for Lee to get back] What situation was that, then?
