wake up time

[cardinalsinned]

[ This is probably the second worst way to wake up, in a hospital bed with Juan there watching. ]

What... happened to me?

[maleborgia]

I went with Guy to the forest. What happened to Cesare?

[foundjuanting]

He fell asleep and would not wake until today. You should see him, he is now home from the hospital.

[maleborgia]

Wait. *hand up* When was he there?

[foundjuanting]

From a few days ago until now.

[reaching for the cup and- oh, nocup :<]

[maleborgia]

No, he wasn't.

[foundjuanting]

Look at the day, brother.

[maleborgia]

I know what day it is, Juan.

[foundjuanting]

Then you know that a number of days have passed.

[maleborgia]

No, they haven't. Not for me, at least, and as I lived them I should know.

[foundjuanting]

Then go look to your cameras and the doctors, if you do not trust me, trust them.

[Fuck this shit, rolling over to try and sleep.]

[maleborgia]

*nah, not getting up yet. Checking the date on his phone, this is so weird.*

How did that happen? Give me yours.

[foundjuanting]

[gesturing listlessly over at his phone, go ahead bro]

[maleborgia]

*grabbing it, sitting back down*

That doesn't make sense. Did the days change or did I fall out of time?

[foundjuanting]

You and our brother both were affected by this place, you disappeared and you know what happened to our other brother.

[maleborgia]

No, I don't. Tell me, in greater detail.

[foundjuanting]

[God he seriously sounds out of it]

I found him shortly after you went missing, he was resting, but nothing would stir him. For two days I watched him for any change and awaited your return, and on the third I took him to be seen. The doctors placed him in their care, fed and watered him through his blood, and watched over him while I searched for you. I would come back in the evenings and see if he had woken yet. Today he awoke and had no knowledge of what happened and was wary of my gaze. I would not have him view me as a wolf lurking around a flock, and so we agreed to forget our mutual... transgressions.

[maleborgia]

What did the doctors have to say? Did they know what caused it?

[foundjuanting]

They know nothing of the cause.

[maleborgia]

Hm.

And he is here now?

[foundjuanting]

Yes, upstairs I would assume.

...Brother, would you help me to my room? I fear that my legs have turned to water.

[maleborgia]

Are you going so soon? I was not ready to leave just yet.

[foundjuanting]

We could continue this in my room, the spot near the window would be more comfortable for me there.

[maleborgia]

*standing, helping him up* What did you take mixed with the wine?

[foundjuanting]

[leaning on pretty much fully]

Do you assume that I have? The grit in the cup may have been from the wine.

[maleborgia]

Stop that, or I'll go to the hospital and ask what they prescribed Cesare.
