video @L.Mills

[The video turns on to show Lucy in her room, and trying hard to keep a straight face because....things happened. Good things that is.

Trying to be positive, trying to be optimistic, but also being cautious....]


So....is it normal for things to randomly appear? I mean not 'falling out of the sky' random, but 'appearing out of thin air' random? There is a difference between the two.

Because, I just got something--well two somethings, and I'm not sure if it's real or if anything happened or if it's just magic.

[He hadn't been doing much hugging and holding of James either. The virus has put him in a very not-huggy mood]

I've survived most of my life without that. I'll be fine for a few days. Don't worry so much about me.

You need a different bike for a sidecar. Mine won't work. But I'll take you for a ride sometime, if you want.

[ Cute idea, though. Just wouldn't work for his bike. He'll think of something else. ]

I know you do, Lucy. [ He sighs softly. ] But you are also just a kid, and this virus... we don't even know that much about it. It might affect you differently, for instance. We can't risk you getting sick too. And I haven't felt even a little bit sick so far. I've had a friend check up on me almost every day too, just in case. I'm alright, really. And I need you to let me be the adult here and take care of this. Okay? I promise you I can handle it.

Going to school, doing your homework and taking care of John and Oona is the best way you can help. Being a good girl. That'll help a lot more than you think, believe me. [ Because then neither he nor Victor will be fretting about her health or well-being. ]

Mmm, I know, but sometimes nurses have to pretend they’re not worried for the sake of their patients. You have to find the strength to be okay even when you don’t want to be.

Yes, you could. But that doesn't mean we won't want to make sure you're in as little danger as possible.

[ And being too close to Victor would definitely increase her chances of catching the virus. ]

Lucy, I know you want to help, and I will ask you when I need it, but when you're pushing like this, you're not helping. What you are doing right now isn't nothing, believe me. This is a tough situation but I just... I need you to trust us to take care of this. I need you to trust me. Please.

It doesn't hurt at all.

Thanks.

[ He often gets told the opposite at home. ]

I don't really celebrate, plus it's on Halloween.

[ And he'd much rather throw people a great Halloween party. ]

I'll tell you what. Do you know what a podcast is?

I didn't say no danger at all, I said as little danger as possible. Just because anyone can be infected, it doesn't mean I'm okay with you to be around people who I know for sure are.

[ She may not be trying, but she's definitely being difficult. Rather than helping, she's just making things worse. But she's also a kid, who's worried and most likely scared about this virus and how it's affecting Victor, so he's trying really hard to be patient and understanding.

Doesn't help he doesn't have a lot of practice with kids. ]


Then I'll go to the hospital too, and we'll find someone you trust who can look after you until either or both of us are back on our feet. [ He sighs. ] Lucy, please. You're not helping. Just do what I'm asking you.

[He knows how she feels, and he hates asking so much from her]

Wasn't there some movie you wanted to show me? How about when I get better, we'll have a little party. We'll get ice cream and watch movies together. How's that sound?
jolting: (W: Casual)

[personal profile] jolting 2018-05-08 03:44 pm (UTC)(link)
A movie day sounds good to me. What if we made it more interesting and we all pick a favorite movie?
jolting: (W: Listen)

[personal profile] jolting 2018-05-08 05:54 pm (UTC)(link)
Yes, Nurse Mills.

[He gets back in bed, turning on the video so she can see him there]

Can you do me a favor and look out for James? And let him look out for you. Take care of each other. That would make me feel better.

Thank you, Lucy.

[ His shoulders drop a little. He knows she's upset at him now, but honestly he'd rather have her upset at him, than exposed to unnecessary risk. She'd forgive him eventually, he's sure of that. ]

I'll be home with dinner in a bit. [ He hesitates a moment. ] If you want, we can take John for his walk together, and talk about what other ways you can help. Alright?
11calls: yeah this won't come back to bite us in our ass (Wait play that again)

I do it back home for my job. So, I was thinking we could record them for you if you want, so they can be out there for anyone who wants to hear them, but you don't have to share something as important as the book.

Aha. It is.

[ You're so sweet, Lucy. ]

I just might. Or maybe I'll just make some sweets to share.

[ Which he likes to do. ]
