You've reached Ray's phone. Good for you. Clearly I haven't answered said phone, so you're just going to have to leave a message. Suck it up, princess.
[The brief moment of relief at seeing him fades into worry, and Nick sits down in one of the chairs next to the bed, pushing the hand not trapped in a sling through his hair.]
Well I almost bled to death, my arm is completely useless, I think the doc said I had a concussion, and I have like nine million stitches. Well. That's a bit of an exaggeration. My bad knee was giving me trouble earlier, but hey, morphine.
[he shrugs.]
All things considered though, I can say with full confidence that I've had worse.
That just means that my track record for survival is ridiculously good. I'm the Highlander. Or something.
[Ray doesn't catch the awkwardness, he's a little too busy rubbing at stitches on his forehead that he really shouldn't be fucking with but DAMN IT IS ITCHY.]
Fuck if I remember, doc mentioned it while I was all shot up with pain killers. Week or so? Better not be longer than that, I'm going to lose my fucking mind.
[blugh antenna. Blugh nick stopping Ray from doing stupid things. blugh blugh blugh]
Oh, there's something else too. There's little metal things like, in my spine now. I mean I can't see them because they're behind me, but that's what the doctor said.
Like, little metal... ports? That egg thing I got a while back is supposed to plug into them, I think. Aaand I kind of think that might be important at some point. Sherman confiscated it. I need it back.
Dude. I'm pretty sure most of the time you love being a pain in the ass. ...but you're welcome. I'll, uh. See what I can do to make them shut up about the antenna, too.

Instead he's just going to make his way to the hospital, then flash his badge to get access to Ray's room and charge on in.]

[He reaches out to rest his hand on Ray's arm, then catches himself and lets his hand awkwardly drop onto the bed instead.]
Have they said how long you'll have to be in here?

Maybe you are the Highlander. An alien Highlander with antenna.
[All right, awkwardness gone at that, Nick makes a face at him and reaches over to pull his hand away.]
Don't do that, you'll end up making yourself get stuck here longer. No one wants to see your lose your mind. More than usual.

...metal things. Right. Are they causing you problems? Do they, uh, do anything?

Okay. That.. I can manage that. Probably. Maybe during the chaos, or once things settle down a little.
no subject
Thanks. I don't mean to be a pain in the ass but... but thanks.

Dude.
You're right, but this time I don't want to be a pain int the ass. I really owe you.
no subject
Dude. You're... one of my best friends, all right, you don't owe me anything.
