 Steph's been released.  Yes, I'm sure.

I'm here if you need anything.

[detectivewonder]

Kate.

I guess the typical thing would be to go out drinking but the last time I got drunk and maudlin it was with Steph, so.

I thought maybe I'd go down to the guan.

[hawkingbird]

The guan?

[detectivewonder]

Where you beat me up the night I apologized.

It's kind of a tradition, at this point, even if all I can do is practice with escrima sticks.

[tookthename]

You okay?

[Private Text]

[detectivewonder]

Not remotely. But I've done this before.

[Private Text]

[tookthename]

If you need anything I'm here.

How are you legs doing?

[Private Text]

[detectivewonder]

With leg braces and crutches I can hobble through a physical therapy routine.

[tookthename]

If any of our healers ever show up I'll send them right to you.

[oftpartitioned]

Yeah, Texas is gone too.

[detectivewonder]

... cake and drinks?

[oftpartitioned]

just drinks. I wanna get drunk, not fat

[detectivewonder]

Cake shots, then. No actual cake involved.

[miracleinkneehighs]

I'm coming over.

[detectivewonder]

All right.

[miracleinkneehighs]

Favorite snack food?

[detectivewonder]

In this apartment? Definitely donuts.

[arachnologist]

... so. What's the policy on bringing cupcakes into the workplace?

[detectivewonder]

I wouldn't turn them down.

[arachnologist]

I take it that's the most ringing endorsement I'm going to get.

Be there in 10.

[detectivewonder]

I do appreciate it. I just...

It's a little hard to get enthusiastic about anything at the moment.

See you soon.

actionish?

[Dick's around at the usual time, after Tim's announcement. He's just a little paler and quieter, but... This isn't about him, he hadn't even met Steph, really. It's about Tim's loss, so - Dick is mostly just present. Helping with what Tim still needs, and reassuring that he hasn't been released, all at once.]

Action

[detectivewonder]

Hey, Big Brother.

[Tim looks fine, but he sounds tired. Just the other day he was fitted for leg braces and issued crutches; he's supposed to use the combination as-needed when his chair is inconvenient. Of course, he's been using them to get more or less everywhere and replicating his physical therapy sessions in the living room.]

You might want to sit down.

[peckish4action]

[Okay, that earns Tim a slightly suspicious look.]

I will if you will.

[detectivewonder]

... Yeah, all right.

[Settling back into his wheelchair.]

Steph's not the only one whose phone service has been terminated.
