maddest[A few hours after this, Break's PCD is jostled on.
It's a video feed, yes, but all that's visible is the inside of Break's pocket. From the sounds of things, he's still in the streets, propped against a building, wheezing for breath. A few coughs, and he spits blood onto his white coat sleeve, sinks to the ground with a groan.
Not a good day.]

Date: 2010-10-18 08:06 pm (UTC)[But he's a little too astonished by all this to talk much now. They can get into it when they're on the ground again, for now, he'll just focus on hanging on.]

Date: 2010-10-18 08:13 pm (UTC)Al spends the ride thinking, allowing himself to grasp the situation at hand, to organize how he feels about it, take it back out of the box where he'd tucked away the feelings he didn't want to deal with. Yuca... Al sighs a bit.
He starts slowing down with plenty of time to spare, lowering the bike slowly into the clinic's yard. They finally set down with a very tiny thump, and Al shifts off, automatically lifting a hand to steady Break if he were to fall, as he'd do to anyone else.
Finally... he decides that Break would want to know.]
You know... he did ask me to check on you. I would have come in any case, but... he wanted to make sure you were okay.

Date: 2010-10-18 09:54 pm (UTC)He seemed able to breathe well enough, and his nose didn't look terribly crooked... and he didn't seem to be seeing double or getting nauseous.
... you really held your own, there.

Date: 2010-10-18 10:00 pm (UTC)[He dismisses idly, trying to work out where he is exactly.]
Although he did give me a bit of a run for my money.

Date: 2010-10-18 10:08 pm (UTC)You do, huh?

Date: 2010-10-18 10:13 pm (UTC)[If you can get past the sing songing tone, Al, he's telling the truth.]
Is this the clinic after all?

Date: 2010-10-18 10:19 pm (UTC)Yes. If we can find Ms. Unohana, she'll be able to give you a look-over and make sure everything's where it's supposed to be.

Date: 2010-10-18 10:23 pm (UTC)Do you think it might be all right to trust him a little?

Date: 2010-10-18 10:39 pm (UTC)So long as you're careful. ... I don't want you to have your heart broken.

Date: 2010-10-18 10:43 pm (UTC)Unlikely, Al.

Date: 2010-10-18 10:48 pm (UTC)[Smilesmile, all through his voice.]

Date: 2010-10-18 10:54 pm (UTC)[He'd be insane to make a move on it anyway, that would crash and burn SO BADLY.]

Date: 2010-10-18 10:55 pm (UTC)[It would.]

Date: 2010-10-18 10:59 pm (UTC)Let's just say that it was probably good for me that he showed his true colors when he did.
Ah... she's not in her office...
[offline]
Date: 2010-10-18 11:02 pm (UTC)[Break looks privately relieved at the news.]
-her powers alarm me, truly.
[offline]
Date: 2010-10-18 11:07 pm (UTC)[Weeeeell.]
She's probably out on rounds... we can wait, and I'll make you something hot?
[CHANGING SUBJECT GO.]

But yes, tea would be lovely.
