[ Steph's voice is tired and a touch less cheery than usual. Yours would be too if you woke up to find your fiance in a coma. It's been a stressful morning. ]

Kon's fallen into a coma. I've got him here in our room and I'm keeping him here, since he won't need any kind of medical treatment anyway. [ He doesn't have to eat, so there's a plus. ]

If you need anything from him that I might be able to get for you, let me know.

[ Private to Cassel ]

That goes doubly for you. You need anything, anything at all, just ask.

Depends what I need. How do you mean?

[patheticvillain]

. . . Never mind. It's not important.

private

[ichoosefight]

It doesn't have to be important. Come on, tell me.

[patheticvillain]

Do you have anybody else, or is it just Kon? Do you even need anybody else?

I'm going to assume you don't mean romantically. [ Or sexually, for that matter. ]

I have a lot of people. I've gotten really lucky. It's just... it's better, having people to rely on. When things get bad they can all gang up on you to make it okay. [ And when you feel like giving up you have more than just the one person to avoid. ]

So you don't need anything. You have your people. Here and at home, I mean, Kon said you're going home when Doyle graduates. So you have people there, too, or else you're an idiot.

[ Pretty much sums it up, yeah. ]

I'm not leaving without Kon.
