He'd made appointments with various people. He was going to keep them. But even still, he was looking entirely well. He'd lost a little weight, was tense, and mostly very still. Except his eyes. They never stopped moving.

[axemeaquestion]

I didn't get a hell a lot out of her in the first place... [Thoughtfully:] You've seen a doctor about it?

[magnetic_magpie]

Why should she tell people my medical information? She did say she had medical and legal proxy.

[That was as much as anyone needed to know, as far as he was concerned. More than most deserved to know.]

I am, yes. And those whose care I have been in have healing abilities.

[axemeaquestion]

It wouldn't have had to be in THAT much detail. Relax.

[She frowned.]

That's something.

[magnetic_magpie]

[Relaxing isn't going to happen any time soon.]

I mostly just want to be alone. But. I'm supposed to talk to people.

[Doctor's orders, basically.]

[axemeaquestion]

[Ro sighed through her nose. She was silent for a moment, just looking at him. She had a better idea of what to think, but visions of Tom were still dancing way too close to her head.]

You're talking some.

[magnetic_magpie]

One or two a day.

[And not really for more than an hour or so.]

[axemeaquestion]

[She frowned again.]

I got my answer. Do you WANT me to go?

[magnetic_magpie]

I don't know. I don't want to talk about this anymore.

[It's stressful in ways it shouldn't and should be. But it's not something he can handle right now.]

[axemeaquestion]

We don't have to.

[magnetic_magpie]

Thank you.

[He drained his mug - it was still hot, despite the time it had been there sitting in his hands.]

I know Chuck's not here.

[That hurt.]

Did anyone else leave?

[axemeaquestion]

[Ro paused, but shook her head.]

Not everybody, but a lot still did.

[magnetic_magpie]

I meant the island. Chuck's not.

[He motions to his NV.]

I wanted...

[Chuck was his friend, he wanted him.]

[axemeaquestion]

Chuck's not--[Wait, this was news to her.] What?

[Well, god dammit. She didn't need him to tell her.]

He's really...?

[magnetic_magpie]

[He nodded, frowning.]

I tried to text him and it didn't work.

[He was upset over that.]

[axemeaquestion]

[... WELP. Rochelle stared at him a moment.]

Oh god dammit.

[Then she decided to stare at the floor. Like dealing with this wasn't already wearing enough.]

I should--probably go.

[magnetic_magpie]

[He rubbed his nose, the first movement he'd made that didn't have a purpose.]

If you want to.

[He'd probably find somewhere to sleep for a bit.]

[axemeaquestion]

[Rochelle, on the other hand, just needed to think about this. Really hard.]

I think I have to. You... don't need anything from me? [For not 100% knowing what she thought yet, she wasn't sure why she said that. A friendly gesture, she guessed.]

[magnetic_magpie]

I just. I don't. My health isn't anyone's business.

[He didn't want her to tell people what was going on, passed he was ill. It was weakness. It was embarrassing.]

[axemeaquestion]

[If it helps anything, her expression understood. She nodded.]

Don't worry.

[magnetic_magpie]

Thank you.

[It does. Quite a lot.]

[axemeaquestion]

[Ro nodded, quietly, and walked off.

Ugh, she had to think about this.]

[magnetic_magpie]

[He lets her. And yes, he'll have House stash him somewhere to sleep.

He'll feel bad if when he has nightmares, he damages anything.]
