[Lucio probably walks in on a heated, semi-coherent argument with a nurse about how he doesn't need tranquilizers and so help him he will call Voltron and --]
Alright. I can talk to Angie to see if she can advise them of that. You're her patient more than mine, after all.
[the nurse that's still in the room takes note of this and begins fiddling around with some alien medical equipment after giving a brief apology to shiro.]
No, he made it out fine. Don't linger on it, alright? I don't know what happened, but it sounded like something big appeared and there was some understandable panic. The important thing is you both made it out alive.
[even if shiro barely did.]
He's avoiding seeing you, though. It might be hard.

[lĂșcio doesn't bother replying and instead just walks in.]
Maybe texting wasn't a good idea, huh?

Lucio!
no subject
Ma'am, do you mind if I have a quick word with him? He's a little... stubborn.
[she doesn't seem happy about it, but agrees if only because shiro obviously knows who he is and visiting hours are, technically, still open.]
Hey, dude! You givin' these lovely ladies trouble?
no subject
No.
They wanted to put me under. I... don't like that.
[For a lot of reasons.]
no subject
[he sits on the side of the bed and takes whichever one of shiro's hands is closer.]
You took a lot of damage, alright? You'll regret not having at least something on hand.
no subject
Painkillers were fine. Honest.
Just... don't want to go under.

How're you feeling?
no subject
[He sighs it out, letting his eyes shut for a second. His head cleared up pretty fast, once he thought someone was going to sedate him.]
Not great. How long's it been?
no subject
[he hesitates, then goes quiet.]
Darin... took it real hard.
no subject
[He doesn't ask that right away. He has to press his good hand to his face. There's a headache dancing somewhere behind his eyes.]
I... screwed up back there. Thought he'd catch on before anything happened...

no subject
Hit me before he could.
[He's quiet for a bit. Breathing.]
Why would he do that?
no subject
I can't speak for him. You'll have to ask.
no subject
[But that contact feels pretty nice. And he ends up lowering his arm off his eyes.]
Sorry. Making you come all this way.
no subject
...
Also, some guy called Hunk is around. He's coming with cookies.
no subject
...
[Okay yeah he's going to try and actually sit up.] Hunk? He's here?
no subject
[lĂșcio wonders what happened to shiro. poor guy.]
Yeah, he's here. He's fine, seems like a real nice guy. I think he was gonna swing by the house you guys share first.
no subject
[Because hey, when you're seeing ceiling cookies, you could easily think you saw your Golden Child, too.]
He is. He's a good kid. Smartest guy on the team.
[Because Absolutely Most Intelligent obviously went to Pidge.]
no subject
[you're never living that down bro]
He seemed real friendly.
no subject
[He doesn't remember the cookies, bro.]
He is. Kind of like you.
no subject
[OHHH BOYYYY]
Ha! No wonder we became instant friends!
no subject
[Not for him, anyway.]
You guys already talking?
no subject
[it was actually kind of funny.]
Yeah, he made a network post. He mentioned Voltron and I remember you and Pidge talking about that, so I figured he was one of your team.
no subject
[Space Lion God help him.]
He is. And... thanks. For looking out for him.
no subject
[hee hee hee]
No prob, bob. Like you said, he's a good kid. Got his head on straight.
