betterthanaplanSo. Today had sucked. Even more than most days in this town did. Duke had a stab wound in his leg from a pen, and would likely be having nightmares about being possessed by a homicidal 20-something for the foreseeable future. Octavia had a gunshot wound in her arm, and had been locked, however briefly, in a vault. Lucifer had had to watch both of them be retraumatized, unknowing if he'd ever get either of them back whole.
But that was over now, at least. Time to reconnect, reassess, and figure out where to go from here.
[for those in the narrative, and likely slowplay. MMMMM, AFTERMATH]

(Not that he'd been worried. Still.)
"Octavia! Duke's back!"
Re: At the hospital
Date: 2022-04-01 06:41 pm (UTC)Until they rounded that corner.
... Wait, no, the terror was still there. It wasn't enough that Lucifer would say that, not after everything, after the wait. "Duke?"
Re: At the hospital
Date: 2022-04-01 06:49 pm (UTC)His eyes flicked to the sling and his whole expression crumpled. "Are you. . . ?"
Re: At the hospital
Date: 2022-04-01 06:55 pm (UTC)He gently guided Duke forwards, until they were stnading in front of her.
Re: At the hospital
Date: 2022-04-01 07:13 pm (UTC)Mostly at Duke.
She gave a shuddery little breath at the Trig, like something in her maybe relaxed a little. "It's fine," she murmured, not even bothering to look at her arm.

Date: 2022-04-01 07:30 pm (UTC)"What happened to your leg?" she asked, sounding very concerned. Looked it, too.
Re: At the hospital
Date: 2022-04-01 07:32 pm (UTC)Re: At the hospital
Date: 2022-04-01 07:34 pm (UTC)He was absolutely going to be like this until the terror wore off.
Re: At the hospital
Date: 2022-04-01 07:36 pm (UTC)Re: At the hospital
Date: 2022-04-01 07:47 pm (UTC)He had a lot of feelings that hadn't managed to be properly expressed for awhile, and it was coming out as way too much jittery energy.
Re: At the hospital
Date: 2022-04-01 07:51 pm (UTC)To do something, which was better than stand around waiting for all the feelings to hit him.
Re: At the hospital
Date: 2022-04-01 07:58 pm (UTC)She said nothing. Didn't really know what she would have said, should have said, so just touching him seemed to be more important to her.
Re: At the hospital
Date: 2022-04-01 08:01 pm (UTC)That was because there was a pen still in it, Duke.
He knotted his fingers together and looked over at her. "You're sure you're okay? You -- Tyler, he -- that vault --"
Re: At the hospital
Date: 2022-04-01 08:04 pm (UTC)She'd also spent most of that time banging her fist off the door and panicking about what was going on on the other side, but... They didn't need to get into that.
Re: At the hospital
Date: 2022-04-01 08:08 pm (UTC)Like how Lexie had just backed off instead of trying to stop Tyler. Almost like she knew Duke’s trouble would save him.
His leg bounced harder, and he might have gotten up and started pacing at a limp if Octavia’s hand wasn’t on his leg.
“Still. You got. Shot. And then locked up. That — I know how you feel about that stuff.”

Date: 2022-04-01 08:10 pm (UTC)(Her hand was right where it was for a reason, yeah. An anchor.)
Re: At the hospital
Date: 2022-04-01 08:28 pm (UTC)That attempt at a joke fell completely flat, but he tried to smile through it anyway.
Re: At the hospital
Date: 2022-04-01 08:29 pm (UTC)She did remember, thanks.
Re: At the hospital
Date: 2022-04-01 08:32 pm (UTC)"I'm fine," Duke said again, leaning into her a little. "This whole thing was probably harder on you guys."
That was . . . not true. But maybe if he pretended hard enough it would be.
Re: At the hospital
Date: 2022-04-01 08:35 pm (UTC)That was all she was going to say about that.
Re: At the hospital
Date: 2022-04-01 08:41 pm (UTC)Made an attempt to relax while they waited for Lucifer to return. And failed.
Re: At the hospital
Date: 2022-04-01 08:49 pm (UTC)The doctor eyed him. "Well, we shouldn't move him until we get that looked at," she allowed. She looked at Duke. "How much have you been walking?"
