[ okay he knows they're not hugging friends but he really wants to hug her right now.
he's gonna at least squeeze her shoulder, face full of sympathy. he knows what it feels like, half the people in his life right now are freaking superheroes. ]
I'm concerned about both of you and this is making me feel a little better, okay? [ he'll retreat his hand all the same ] Who's taking care of her? Do you guys need anything?
[ as he leads her to the kitchen for that water. ]
Thanks, but seriously, I'm fine. As for her... She's on the Blue Fish, they have a clinic there. I think the woman who's watching her and a few others is named Beverly? Anyways, I was there basically 24/7 before the whole kid thing. Great timing, right?
[she thinks that over for a second[
I think she's in good hands, but she probably wouldn't mind it if you went to visit her even if she acts weird about it. She's just like that.
She's been teaching me basic medicine, she's really good. [ times like this make him so grateful that they have her back. simon took great care of kitty when she was injured, but he's still most comfortable taking his friends to beverly, because he knows her. ]
Yeah - yeah. It's probably pretty boring lying around in bed all day, I can bring those cards over or something...
[ not being visibly appreciated is kind of his life. ]
Do you wanna go hang out at the office? [ just so everyone coming in the kitchen wouldn't be listening in on their conversation. ] Or do you want to get back to her - [ because he would totally get it, kitty wasn't even hurt badly back when winter was glitching, but he wouldn't leave her side. ]
...Is that okay? I mean, I wasn't lying when I said I appreciated you not letting me airlock myself when I was like, five, so I won't ditch you to go back unless that's seriously fine.

Cards are definitely better than just laying there with nothing to do.
