"Are you sure you don't want it? It's a nice house."

Permalink

"I'm sure - is there someone with you?"

Permalink

"No, is there supposed to be?"

Permalink

"Or someone I could call?"

Permalink

"You should call whoever it would bring you the most joy to call!"

Permalink

"Well, right now that would be someone who you know well and is nearby?"

Permalink

"Oh! I could introduce you to Lucien if you want!"

Permalink

"That sounds great."

Permalink

She calls Lucien's number.

Permalink

"Hi Lorica, what's up?"

Permalink

"This man I met wanted to be introduced to you! Here!" She hands over her phone.

Permalink

"Wha-"

"Hi I think your friend is having a bad time - she fainted and vomited - and she told me she knows you well?"

Permalink

She's going to slump against the side of the building until she has another idea for something to do.

Permalink

"And she can't tell me herself because?"

"She tried to offer me her house!"

Well that..... is there anything that causes vomiting and delusions? Lucien has no idea. Lucien wraps up the remainder of the conversation pretty fast and the guy returns the phone to Lorica, dialing 911 on his own to call an ambulance. 

"Hi Lorica, how're you feeling?"

Permalink

"I'm fine, how are you?"

Permalink

"Good. Uh, did you faint and vomit a minute ago?"

Permalink

"...I should really clean that up. Do you know how to clean up a sidewalk - oh, please excuse me, I'm sure you have better things to do, I should just look on the internet -" She hangs up to do that.

Permalink

Actually she is getting a call back from him so fast!

Permalink

Oh okay. "Hello!"

Permalink

"I think you are probably having some sort of episode of something and an ambulance is going to come and pick you up and check you out and Lia is already on her way to meet you at the hospital, okay? I'm a bit further out."

Permalink

"But there are probably people who really need the ambulance! Even if there aren't any right now someone could need it while it's picking me up and they'd have to wait longer and that could be dangerous!"

Permalink

"Well, I think right now the ambulance is going your way anyways, so it would probably be most helpful if they found you quickly when you got there and didn't have to look around or anything, right?"

Permalink

"...I guess. But you should really tell them that I don't need it!"

Permalink

"Mm...I'll think about it. Lia will see you at the hospital, okay?"

Permalink

"She should be rescuing people from dungeons! Or resting because she works so hard!"
