Who: Everyone messed up by the dragon plot, and visitors
Broadcast: N/A
Action: Blue Fish's clinic!
When: All throughout the Solrius dragon plot and through the space flight to the next destination.

[So several RPG characters, a dragon, and two messianic figures walk into a planet.

Everything is suffering and tears, there's a lot of dead people, there's no punchline. But, hey, for the survivors, the Blue Fish's clinic is treating wounds and generally being a decent place to rest and recover and pray you don't see a dragon again. And for those who weren't involved, there's enough people bedridden here that there may just be someone you want to visit.]

[Her eyes widen.]

The attack then, when I was gone.... was that -

[stefanged]

Uh-huh. Sascha lost his memories, I think? Whatever happened, it was enough to bite Sam and Nami.

[Nami might've forgiven him since, but Stefan sure hasn't forgotten.]

[dancingmd]

[She sucks in a sharp breath.]

And who is to say Atroma won't take advantage of that again?

[stefanged]

[Hesitation sets in. As much as he dislikes the resident idiot, he's not exactly a paragon of virtue.]

No one, but... I can be just as dangerous, and - [he falters] and Allen and Sorey and a whole bunch of people know.

[dancingmd]

[Gently:] That's why I'm not blaming him for that particular incident. He can't control the augment any more than the rest of us can. I just... didn't know that's what had happened. Kara and I didn't exactly have the most rational discussion about it.

[stefanged]

I don't think I know her. Let me guess, though: she thinks Sascha can't help what he is? And that we need to be more accommodating towards him?

[dancingmd]

More or less. And that I "of all people" should understand.

[stefanged]

[Well, that earns her a confused look.]

How about no? I'm a vampire, and I still don't think this is normal behavior.

[dancingmd]

Because it's not about his physiology or yours. It's the fact that he's an extremely selfish person who expects people to roll over for him because he makes sad eyes at them.

[She huffs.]

I'm sorry. This is not what you came to talk about.

[stefanged]

No, but you've been clearly keeping this bottled up.

[He laughs, despite himself. This is a side of his aunt he wouldn't mind seeing over and over again.]

I don't mind. Promise, it makes me feel better about my self-control.

[dancingmd]

[Hands on her hips.]

And what is so funny, might I ask?

[Though is that a slight quirk of the corner of her mouth? Must just be your imagination.]

[stefanged]

Nothing. [He raises both eyebrows, but his smile betrays whatever "too cool for school" vibe he was aiming for.] I'm just glad you're in my corner.

[dancingmd]

Well of course I am. [She rests a hand on his shoulder.] And I'm glad you're in mine.
