[teehee?

Luke doesn't tap his heel against the floor, but there's a tension to him, like he wants to.]


I take it a few times a day, but I don't know exactly what it's made of. My doctor adjusted it recently to enhance its efficacy, but he didn't tell me exactly what he did to it. I was hoping to get in touch with him for that reason. [Okay mainly he wanted communications access to send an SOS but this isn't a lie.] It's... treatment for a degenerative condition. The neuropathy is the worst of it. I can probably handle the rest with painkillers, but...

[He reaches into his pocket and digs out the painkillers from the medkit, shaking them slightly.]

I can tell you for sure that these aren't going to help.

[I want to painblast everyone but it would be so funny if he died on anaesthesia crying about a banana like that Taylor Swift video]

[Ngh. Luke looks conflicted, but eventually, he concedes--] ...It's hard to treat something when you don't know the exact cause, either. That's why I'm sure I shouldn't be here. I wouldn't have been taken off the investigation.

[There's a slim chance Luke might've believed that the NSB assigned him to this case--but even without the amnesia, that's unlikely when he's been following the trail of NXX.]

It should be fine. I can tough it out until you all get us back home--I'm not going to die tomorrow or anything.

[No that's on Thursday. But he will be so confused because he's supposed to have three years left!!!]

But I'll take whatever you have--though I'd like a look at the ingredients, if you don't mind. [...] I'd rather no one else knew about this for as long as possible. They don't need to be worrying about me.

[There's a blip of sullen emotion, then, a tad immature. HE HATES EMOTIONSHARE. GIT OUTTA HIS HEAD AND BODY. GIT.]

[He was thinking more of other people getting to feel his owies, but he appreciates the reassurance all the same. Also he has learned that MULTIPLE OTHER PEOPLE ARE WALKING AROUND WITH WILD OWIES??? God I hope I end up in curfew with Dana after this thread with Scien I just had that would be soooo funny

ANYWAY Io can catch the stray thought of their leg?, but Luke doesn't ask--he just takes the bottle with a nod, turning it over in his left hand. Through the effect, Io might notice a little feeling starting to return to their right arm; it's an unpleasant prickling, but it's there.]


Thanks. I appreciate it. [And while he's highly wary of every single one of them, Io can, at least, sense that he... wants to believe this, if nothing else. It's something.]

[The way I acknowledged the leg blade and then immediately forgot, it's fine. For Luke, it's just storing the knowledge that their leg bothers them sometimes... interesting data to sit on.]

That's all for now. [He pushes himself up, turning his face away and coughing against the back of his hand.] I'll write up the ingredients I remember from that medicine. Maybe it'll make sense once you see it.

[In his opinion, even a shoddy replica to keep him going is good enough, but. Luke's self-worth is not to be trusted.]

Sure. [Whether he believes that or not doesn't come through.] I'll come see you again soon.
