Better to see it's taken care of before it becomes more than just a bit. Nice to know I can prescribe that, as well. Wasn't sure if the Admin would treat it like bandages. So, where are you?

[devoutish]

It's being taken care of.

[He sends two pictures, both close-ups of the lower half of his face. In the first, the skin around his eyes and the side of his nose is red and chapped - not bad enough to be dangerous yet, but bad enough to be worrying. It looks like skin that had been exposed to the wind and cold air while wet. In the second picture, things are looking better. His skin isn't back to normal yet, but it's not peeling anymore, and the reddening is slightly decreased. A thin sheen of aloe has been spread across it. The dark circles under his eyes, however, are present in both pictures, just visible along the top edge of the images before they cut off.]

First picture's from yesterday. Second one's from today.

[jumpthegun]

That's nice. I'd like to see how the rest of you and Royce are healing up.

[devoutish]

It's not necessary.

[jumpthegun]

Alfie, it's going to get awkward if you make me beg to see you.

[devoutish]

You've got no reason to need to see me.

[jumpthegun]

What if I want to see you?

[devoutish]

We can see each other over video.

[jumpthegun]

You know how you bothered me after Sherlock died in the morgue? It's not the same over the network.

[devoutish]

[No. It definitely isn't.]

Nah, we prefer a quiet house now.

[jumpthegun]

Alfie.

[Even in text, there's a Tone. He sighs in frustration to himself.]

Please. I know you don't want anyone around, and I'll leave it be if you tell me to, after this. Please just consider you were there for me when I needed someone. I want to repay the favor.

I also do still need to pick up part of that salt lick from you for the thing.

[The bomb, he means.]

[devoutish]

[Ugh, the salt lick. He'd forgotten about that, and he really does want to pass it on.]

Is it really supporting me if it's not what I want? Or is it feeding your need to feel helpful?

I'd rather talk over the tablets, when your throat is better.

[jumpthegun]

I think it can be both.

Why?

[devoutish]

Why isn't important. I fucking would, and that's that.

[jumpthegun]

Why's the most important thing here.

But what are we going to do about the salt lick? I also had a pair of handcuffs I wanted to give to you if you ever need them. Picked up a few extra sets at the police station.

[devoutish]

You wanna give someone like me handcuffs?

[This seems fake, Watson.]

[jumpthegun]

[John switches briefly to video to show off five pairs of handcuffs.]

A person like you might need them if we have one of those murder spree nights again. Or if you run into someone worse than you. If you're planning to clap them on me, we might have a problem, though.

[devoutish]

No.

[There's a strong chance of him using them in a way that Watson wouldn't approve of, but he'll keep that to himself.

He wants to suggest a drop-off - they each stash their items in a house, and go to pick up the other's. But that runs too high a risk of somebody else getting to them first. So...]

Fine, yeah. We'll meet. You'll get your salt.

[jumpthegun]

All right. Where do you want to meet? We're starting from #76 on House's map.

[OOCly House 107.]

[devoutish]

We're going to the school for food.

[jumpthegun]

We've just come from there a few days ago. Maybe we could meet you in the middle somewhere.

[devoutish]

Yeah. All right.

[jumpthegun]

You're gonna have to tell me where to meet you, mate. I still don't know where you are.

[devoutish]

We were in [X] last night.

[114.]

Still moving west, yeah.

[jumpthegun]

You could meet up with us at the building we're in now just in the morning after lockdown ends. It'd save us having to backtrack, and it's more or less on your way to the school.
