NOTE: As of 12/2016, Rey has adopted the alias "Fiona Stransky" when working with the Guard. Something to keep in mind, as Rey maintains a low profile with her involvement in the group. Other than what is mentioned in the Guard records, there is no trace of a "Fiona" identified on the network.
[When you've got so much fluff like Rey, your hair always needs a brush. How Atem tolerates his crazy mop is beyond her.
[Not long after he heads for the kitchen, she finally sits upright, shifting on the floor so her back is up against the bed. With the door open a crack, she can get a slight peak at the kitchen area.]
Only the most heinous crime of trying to get out of bed. [Rey says dryly as she rubs her temples.] There's some... tea in there. That someone left for me. Helps with the pain.
[Because having a cup of Carlisle's drug tea is such a good idea.]
Sooner than later he's handling her a cup of that warm tea at her bed.」
You know I'm not talking about that.
「He's not exactly sure how specific he must be, but clearly he knows something. He lets it pass for the moment, opting to go back to the kitchen and busy himself on making some easy hot meal for her with what she's got. She's fortunate enough that there might be enough stuff to make a very passable pasta with veggies. It cannot go wrong.」
[God, why doesn't he believe her? Probably because you're Rey, Rey. At least she's grateful when he brings the tea over, muttering a quiet "thanks" as she takes the mug into her hands and breathes in the steam of the drink. It doesn't matter how hot the glass is to touch, she's fine. This is fine. Everything is just fine.]
Been getting these weird... flashes. [Finally, a serious answer this time.] Sometimes visual, other times it feels like an electric jolt searing my brain.
[She grimaces.] Guess going to deal with whatever the hell is out there right now is out of the question.
[There, she said it, loathe as she is to do so, ugh. But it more or less probably explains why Nick wanted someone here.]
「He pokes his head out the kitchen's door and stares into her room (there is certain cat who does the same, from Atem's shoulder). The sizzling sound of the vegetables is coming from the kitchen as he waits for an answer.」
[How nice that Tripod has another friend to spread his affections to that isn't just Rey when Nick isn't around (and still Rey even when Nick is around.]
Sort of? [Her brows furrow.] Some things are clearer than others. Also, um. Sorry about the knife thing.
[She can remember bits and pieces, and unfortunately one of them is Safronov nearly stabbing Atem in the face.]
「Huh, so she does remember that in particular, of all things. He gives her a rather blank stare at that.」
... Yeah, no problem...
「He goes back into the kitchen to finish those veggies, the only thing needed now was for the pasta to boil, add some canned sauce and a delicious meal will be ready soon. He goes back to her room while that's done with a cup of that mysterious tea
for himself.
He doesn't drink from it yet.」
Did it work? Whatever she did?
「What did she do, though? It takes him a second to ask that, unsure of how to ask because he himself truly never got it, but that hardly is the point, it's clear this is Rey and not Safronov.」
「It didn't smell bad and he's a little thirsty, he could relax a little too, because that's what the tea is for, right?
He sips some... Hmm... Maybe a little more.」
She was nice. She also liked tea a lot.
「Let's sip more of that. Tripod tries to have some of it too, as he leans over the cup (yep, he's still perched on his shoulders), but Atem doesn't let him, of course.」
Do you feel... fine? Never mind, how are you, Rey?
[After getting a good whiff of the steam rising from the drink, Rey just glances at Atem out her peripheral vision while they talk, slightly smirking at Tripod. It's cute when she's not the one he's pestering.]
Yes, I remember. Strange, though. She wasn't exactly very renowned for being nice, but she also wasn't stupid.
[Rey knew that much. What Safronov did was necessary for survival, which she had a better chance at with Rey than herself.]
All right. Head kills me sometimes, and it hurts to walk, but... Been thinking a little clearer.
「Funny, Atem wouldn't consider it as pestering, as he wouldn't look at anyone without trying to see some good in them, as he did with Safronov, it not always worked on everyone and some were harder than others, but when it did... It was really rewarding.
Her answer, (and the tea, maybe) has him smiling at her a bit too wide.」
I'm glad. You just need to rest...
「She does seem better, somehow. He sips more of that tea.」
--and eat! Gonna check on your food, don't move!
「Hmm, he's suddenly a bit too excited about that, isnt' he? He's not sure why but why not? Before he leaves he approaches to her and drops Tripod on her lap. Good luck with that.」
[It's a loving sort of pestering, at least. Initially the cat's persistence was irritating and sometimes downright disturbing, but Rey can't deny that this place would feel emptier without him.
[Is it just her, or is Atem a little more enthusiastic than usual? Hard to tell with him.
[Rey starts to speak, only to have that same cat deposited onto her.
[A startled yelp escapes her as she struggles a moment to balance the tea in her hands as Tripod lands over her lap, his stiff feet in the air before awkwardly rolling off her legs. He makes a little squeaky complaint.]
Hey, watch it! [But Atem is already gone to the kitchen again, and Tripod is swiftly making himself comfortable at Rey's side.]
「By the time that Atem returns, he's carrying a plate with a generous serving of pasta and vegetables on top, it doesn't look bad at all and it smells even better. It's the magic of canned food. He must've finished his cup of tea on at some moment too, it might be a little too obvious as he stands next to her bed, just, admiring the plate.」
Wow. 「There is rather long pause in there.」 I made this.
「After what seems to be a whole minute of more staring at the food, he offers it at her.」
[Did he... finish the tea already? It's not like Carlisle gave any clear instructions not to, but he did specify that it's a "mild painkiller at best" without an enchantment, and that it's stronger to accommodate her "nature" -- whatever that means.
[Oh, god. The kid's not going to have an overdose, is he? Better watch.
[(No, Atem is not going to have an overdose, don't worry.)]
Um. Yes, you did. Good job?
[She sets her half-finished mug of tea aside and takes the plate.]
You worried a lot of people by frying your brain. I was really worried about you.
「There, what are filters?」
There is a lot of people who care about you. 「He had said that before huh?」 We don't like telling you what to do but... I really don't but, it'd be nice if you took care of yourself.
「The way he says it, it's like he's had those words ready to be said for a long time now, but also, the way he says it, it's like he doesn't hold any resentments anyway, either that, or that he's not really even aware of how much he's saying.
[All things considered, none of those things are new, and yet they're still strange for Rey to hear. Probably because she just... expects it already, and it's more comfortable that way when things aren't said and there's that safe little filter.
[Rey shovels some more pasta into her mouth, making a muffled noise akin to a laugh at Atem's concerns. Despite her mouth full, she starts to say something, only to--
[Yup, sorry. She's choking now.]
Wh-- [Cough. Hack. She pounds on her chest as the food goes down. Oh god. She manages to swallow but she's still coughing after.
[Look at what you did now, bro. You had to go and say the L-word.]
「Well, they do! Of course, he's always have this annoying habit of saying those things that no one else does, because hearing them is definitely different.
He doesn't seem incredibly concerned that food went just other way, but he does offer her the rest of her tea. Don't die now that we established how important you are, okay?」
[Wiping strained tears from her eyes with the back of one hand, Rey reaches over and grabs the handle of the mug with her other after setting her plate on her lap. She might be choking, but she still has some coordination, thank god.]
「Atem has to only observe, it possibly couldn't be something he said, right? Why would it!? Maybe, later, when he's thinking better, he'll realize it. Maybe not.
Since she's not exactly dying, then it's all good.」
Yes, I know how that works. [Rey coughs again.] Fucking smartass.
[She isn't going to hold it against Atem for not knowing, though. To most, Rey's hangups over people expressing love towards her in any capacity is terrifying. So much so that she nearly stabbed Rose over it.

too much.」

[She snorts as she starts digging up a forkful of pasta. Atem, you're a weird kid.]
Okay, friend.
[Rey of course means that in the most teasing and well-meaning way.]
Thanks, by the way. For coming over here and... all the other shit.
no subject
Oh Ra! He called him friend! Can his grin get any bigger than that!? Not possible!」
Of course! That's what friends are for. And you are my very special friend, even if you're keep pulling this shit too.
「Yep.」
no subject
Hey, what do you mean, "this shit"? All I did was fall out of bed. [While trying to make it for the door because there are demons in the city, Rey.
[Shut up. She's just going to stab some pasta and veggies and stuff her face now. At least her sense of taste hasn't changed, as far as she can tell.]
no subject

[Rey might have some issues.]
no subject
He reaches for her shoulder and gives her a few pats. There, there.
It's her fault for letting him drink that, really.......」
no subject
[Rey goes to take a long gulp of the tea and sighs. That's much better.]
There. Caring for myself now. Are you happy?
[Cough.]
