[Kaliko]

Nic was at his computer like usual. It still looked like he hadn't gotten any sleep.

[Rinrou]

"Hey..." Laurel said quietly, voice pretty hoarse.

[Kaliko]

Nic didn't appear to notice her, but he slowly pulled away as usual. "Water?" he asked quietly.

[Rinrou]

"No..." Laurel replied, gently rubbing the top of her head.

[Kaliko]

Seeing her ears were doing better he spoke in a voice with a more normal volume. "Would you like another tablet?"

[Rinrou]

Laurel shook her head but quickly stopped, apparently it was still too early for that. "No thanks." she replied instead.

[Kaliko]

"Anything else?" he offered.

[Rinrou]

Laurel watched Nic closely for a long moment, "You haven't slept." she stated quietly, eyes expressing concern.

[Kaliko]

"I'll sleep in a few hours," Nic replied. "But if you're up for it, I'm going to have Miss Q come by in awhile to help me with this."

[Rinrou]

Laurel paused before nodding slightly. "... Have you eaten?" she asked quietly.

[Kaliko]

"... Yes," Nic replied. He had eaten. But probably not as much as Laurel probably would have liked.

[Rinrou]

Laurel watched Nic for a moment longer before slowly laying back down, "I'll rest until Missy comes." she told him.

[Kaliko]

Nic nodded. About an hour later, there was a knock at the door. Nic didn't say anything.

[Rinrou]

After a moment, Laurel dragged herself out of bed and opened the door.

[Kaliko]

Missy was at the door, not looking too surprised to see Laurel. "Morning," she told her like nothing had happened.

[Rinrou]

Laurel didn't seem to remember, she nodded slightly and moved out of the way.
