	Gasp. You're going to be out late. There's someone else, isn't there? (Reply to this) (Thread)

	[a long silence before the reply. He can't decide how to reply at first. He types several replies into his phone he doesn't send before he finally settles on one.] I'm dropping off something for a friend, should be home by 2:30 at latest. (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	I was messing with you. Jesus. It's fine. I'll leave the samovar on. I can't sleep anyway. (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	No, no, you're right! I'm secretly meeting with a woman. We are going to run away to Vegas and -- [he deliberates a minute and then adds another after he sends the first message.] Who am I kidding, if anything requires running I'm fucked. Don't stay up if you don't want to. (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	Re: [text: alexander/sevastian] watson_md 2013-01-29 05:47 am UTC (link)
	Fortunately, as you're in Vegas, you won't have to run far. I can't sleep. The cough medicine has me all fucked up. I'll be awake. (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	Re: [text: alexander/sevastian] lorddenethor 2013-01-29 05:48 am UTC (link)
	Now I'm worried. I'll keep it short. (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	Re: [text: alexander/sevastian] watson_md 2013-01-29 05:50 am UTC (link)
	Don't worry. I just can't sleep. [a new message about 30 seconds later] Should I be worried that I can hear someone talking to me? I mean, that's the whole point of these keys and books and shit, right? Because I can really, really hear it right now. (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	Re: [text: alexander/sevastian] lorddenethor 2013-01-29 05:52 am UTC (link)
	Yeah, people actually hear stuff sometimes. Talk me through it. What do you hear? (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	Re: [text: alexander/sevastian] watson_md 2013-01-29 05:53 am UTC (link)
	I am not crazy, you know. I have had high doses of codeine. And apparently, he says that the restlessness and the feeling of bugs crawling under my skin is a perfectly normal reaction to high levels of narcotics! How helpful! (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	Re: [text: alexander/sevastian] lorddenethor 2013-01-29 05:55 am UTC (link)
	He is correct, your cough suppressant includes side-effects of restlessness, itching, and mild sensory hallucinations. [a moment later.] Who is he? (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	Re: [text: alexander/sevastian] watson_md 2013-01-29 05:56 am UTC (link)
	Don't know. Never asked. Sounds British. (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	Re: [text: alexander/sevastian] lorddenethor 2013-01-29 05:57 am UTC (link)
	Why don't you ask him his name, Seva? And what his credentials are to offer you medical advice. (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	Re: [text: alexander/sevastian] watson_md 2013-01-29 05:59 am UTC (link)
	He says he has a medical degree from the University of London, and trained with the British Army, and that ought to be credentials enough for anyone. (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	Re: [text: alexander/sevastian] lorddenethor 2013-01-29 06:00 am UTC (link)
	Okay, sure. But what's his name? (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	Re: [text: alexander/sevastian] watson_md 2013-01-29 06:01 am UTC (link)
	Um. [5 second later] I don't think I like this game. Maybe I have gone crazy. [30 seconds later] You're going to laugh. (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	Re: [text: alexander/sevastian] lorddenethor 2013-01-29 06:03 am UTC (link)
	If I laugh you will never, ever know, because I am at work and cannot laugh at my desk, people look at me funny. [a moment later] Just tell me! (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	Re: [text: alexander/sevastian] watson_md 2013-01-29 06:04 am UTC (link)
	John Watson. (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	Re: [text: alexander/sevastian] lorddenethor 2013-01-29 06:07 am UTC (link)
	[Alexander debates about what to reply for a long while.] Oh. Well, I guess that could be worse. (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	Re: [text: alexander/sevastian] watson_md 2013-01-29 06:08 am UTC (link)
	Why did it take you forever to text that? You think I'm crazy now, don't you? [15 seconds later] Fuck it, I'm having a smoke. (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	Re: [text: alexander/sevastian] lorddenethor 2013-01-29 06:10 am UTC (link)
	I'm AT WORK Sevya! Somebody was talking to me! I don't think you're crazy, I'm just busy! (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	[When there is no answer from Sevastian, Alexander hobbles into the bathroom of the dispatching office to call him.] (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	[picks up on the fourth ring] What? (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	Re: [ring ring] lorddenethor 2013-01-29 06:17 am UTC (link)
	[the answer sounds weird and tinny in the bathroom, and comes in dirty, slangy, vicious Russian, the kind Alexander isn't supposed to know.] Put your fucking cigarette out right now before I have to leave work to take you to the hospital. You are the worst asthmatic I have ever met. You have bronchitis! This is no time to be smoking! (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	Re: [ring ring] watson_md 2013-01-29 06:18 am UTC (link)
	[blink. blink blink blink.] The fuck? HOW DID YOU KNOW?! [pauses] Wait, I told you. (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	Re: [ring ring] lorddenethor 2013-01-29 06:21 am UTC (link)
	[Alexander clears his throat awkwardly, because someone tried to come in the bathroom, heard the shouting, and left without opening the door.] Uh. Just put it out, okay? (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	Re: [ring ring] watson_md 2013-01-29 06:22 am UTC (link)
	It's almost gone now. It's fine. [coughs a little. discreetly. so discreetly. the discreetest.] (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	Re: [ring ring] lorddenethor 2013-01-29 06:24 am UTC (link)
	Goddamn it, Sevya. Don't fuck around, just put the damn thing out! This is so stupid, you shouldn't be smoking until you're not coughing anymore. [He is wedged in one not-so-clean bathroom stall, his voice distorted but shaky, and he is starting to tremble physically, stranded in the stall without his cane, which he left at his desk.] (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	Re: [ring ring] watson_md 2013-01-29 06:26 am UTC (link)
	[ignores the cigarette portion of the evening completely] Are you shaking? Why are you shaking? Are you okay, Sasha? (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	Re: [ring ring] lorddenethor 2013-01-29 06:29 am UTC (link)
	[the pain spike is intense and dizzying; there's nowhere to sit down but the dirty floor, and Alexander keeps himself propped up against the wall of the stall with one hand, the other pressing his phone to ear. He sees white, and his voice is very quiet and strained as he tries to focus.] What did you do with the cigarette? (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	Re: [ring ring] watson_md 2013-01-29 06:30 am UTC (link)
	Sashenka, you don't sound good, where are you? You're at work, but what the hell are you doing? Do I need to come get you? I can. Right now. (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	Re: [ring ring] lorddenethor 2013-01-29 06:33 am UTC (link)
	[softly.] I hate it when you call me Sasha. [a little louder; he's going to push through, but he's a little disjointed.] I have the rest of my shift. You are too stoned to drive. Go inside and get some rest. (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	Re: [ring ring] watson_md 2013-01-29 06:35 am UTC (link)
	I can't sleep. I'll be on the couch when you get home. God, just ... be careful, please? [shifts into Russian without thinking about it] I worry, I just worry. Please be careful, okay? I'm not too stoned to drive, I can come get you if needs be, no problem. (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	Re: [ring ring] lorddenethor 2013-01-29 06:39 am UTC (link)
	Sevya, I.... I lo... [Alexander clears his throat and doesn't finish.] Look, I have to get back to my desk. Text me if something new happens. You might be having a reaction to the cough suppressant. Have some water. (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	Re: [ring ring] watson_md 2013-01-29 06:42 am UTC (link)
	[hesitates, then drops the cigarette on the driveway and grinds it out] Okay. Okay. Just ... let me know if you need me. I'll be up when you get home. (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	Re: [ring ring] lorddenethor 2013-01-29 06:46 am UTC (link)
	I'll text you if it'll be later than I thought. Don't do anything stupid. [he hangs up before he has time to overthink it anymore. A few minutes later he throws up in the toilet, a frequent reaction to the cocktail of stress and pain, and a few minutes after that, limps his way back to his desk to finish his shift like nothing happened.] (Reply to this) (Parent)
