She waves back, shyly.

"Epic," breathes Doctor Ximenes. A bunch of armed dudes surround them.

        "Report," says the Vice-Director.

            "Witnesses say his unconscious body appeared out of nowhere and then he woke up and started walking. I fetched him and came straight here."

        The Vice-Director turns to Epic. "Is that true?"

"Give him some space," says Doctor Ximenes. "He needs to rest."

"I put it somewhere above ground that looked like it was clear and then I swapped into it."

"Do you need anything? Did they do anything to you?"

"They did something to knock me out? Twice? I feel fine now though. I don't know who they were."

"What do you want to do?"

The others seem okay letting the therapist take point.

"Um? Are they going to come here and do it again?"

"No, absolutely not, they can't get here, you're safe."

"Okay. 

They said you were torturing people. They said I could look up the tapes. You're not doing that, right?"

"Of course not!" Doctor Ximenes says, sounding horrified.

"Oh good." Hug. 

She hugs him back. "Let's go back inside, you can have some hot chocolate and rest."

Nod nod.

She leads the way and after some muttered conversation everyone else lets her. Golden Jewel frets a bit but is told by the Vice-Director Epic shouldn't be bothered.

He turns around to look at her. "I'm okay. I'll be at dinner probably - I don't really know what time it is, what time is it -"

"It's the middle of the afternoon, there's a couple of hours still."

Weak smile. "I'll be at dinner."

Golden Jewel waves, and now it's just him and the doctor.

He wraps his wings around himself.

She does not talk to him if he doesn't initiate, and leads him to his room.

He curls up in his bed.

"If you need anything at all, please don't hesitate to call any of us."

"I won't."

She leaves.

He stays curled up and does two artifact blocks and then goes to dinner.

No one bothers him during curled-up time but the therapist sits with him for dinner, as does Golden Jewel. "How are you feeling?"
