"You took quite a blow to the head, sir," she says, her face unreadable as she watches him gulp down the medicine and the water.Īnd, well - he must have! It's as good an explanation as any for the way Clubs can't concentrate past the tip of his nose without his head feeling like it's got one doozy of a cramp he hadn't even known heads could cramp! The water in his mouth helps soothe the dryness in his throat, at least. "Both, I think."Ī resigned sigh, and Yavari sets down the cloth to hand him a glass of water that's been sitting on the bedside table, and then a tablet of what looks like aspirin. "Dizzy, or in pain?" she asks, though her dark eyes don't look up from her inspection of the handgun.Īs though to make his point for him, Clubs's head gives a throb - not quite hurting, but close enough that he squirms. "Oh, Ms Yavari, my head is in such a futz." She levels her gaze at him and he drops his hand hastily, wishing he could reach up and scratch at his horns sheepishly, but rather starting to think that at this rate Yavari might just hogtie him, with the mood she's in. "Shouldn't we be somewhere else?" Clubs whispers, reaching out and tugging on Yavari's sleeve. It's all very strange, though, because the last he remembers, Clubs was about to go off on a mission for the boss! He can't remember exactly what he was supposed to do, but he's sure it was important! If he and Yavari are in a safehouse, who is taking care of things outside? This is all pretty worrisome. Really now, just how long was Clubs napping? He looks around the room, but can find no clues that might help him out of this muddle - the room looks just like any number of Diamonds's safehouses might, classily decorated but windowless, the walls hung with spartan, monochrome decorations (in the case, large sideways diamonds, that look like they might conceal safes behind their thick exteriors) to distract from the fact that the only light comes from the lamps and the overhead light.
"Stop that," she says, reproving, and when Clubs timidly tucks his hands underneath the pillow, she narrows her eyes at him in a level stare before returning her attention to the handgun in her lap, picking up a cloth and using it to wipe down the partially-opened casing. He raises his hand to scratch his head, puzzled -Īnd Yavari smacks it away again. Even at their most casual, no one dares to dress not to impress when a lady like Diamonds is in charge of dress code! But Yavari's wearing a wine red hijab with a black fringe of lace, which is definitely not usual, and her suit has been replaced by a long coat almost like a dress, close in the sleeves and split down the front to reveal dark red pants, and while it certainly looks nice, it's still impractical enough that Clubs can't imagine Diamonds approved it. She has, oddly enough, traded her usual stringent black uniform in for the day, when Clubs has never before in his entire life seen someone from Diamonds' branch in anything less than Midnight Crew standard midnight blacks. Oh! He hasn't seen Yavari in a while! Not since he visited the doctor for a review, at least.
A stern grunt of disapproval warns him off when he tries to do it again, and finally Clubs shakes the last of the foggy cobwebs out of his head to blink at the person sitting beside him. Without much warning, a perfectly filed nail flicks his claws away from his head. Clubs touches a claw to the side of his head on impulse, the sore spot that's been bothering him for a few days now, but pressing on it just makes it feel worse. His head's been scrambled like that, lately, so that it seems harder to keep track of where he is and when he might be. He opens his mouth to call for Sollux, and then pops it shut again, because his child hasn't lived with him in years. Everything spins like a top, and when he closes his eyes and woozily curls up into a ball on his side, it doesn't really help much.
