Sure am. [She rattles the bag for emphasis.] You didn't sleep there, did you?
No, I think he [Kaveh waves a hand around expressively. They know who he means.] Put me to bed?
[Which would probably explain the pajamas. But. He's pushing himself to sitting upright. Gotta sit up to take painkillers, alas.]

Ah. [Dehya passes the bag over.] So at least you don't have a crick in your neck on top of everything else.
[Everything. Else.]
[Everything. Else.]
...Everything else.
[Dehya. Dehya have you no sense of mercy.]
[Dehya. Dehya have you no sense of mercy.]
Guess he hasn't told you about last night yet? [She glances aside to Kaveh's phone, laying abandoned.]
...Two-hundred and eighty eight.
[Kaveh mumbles, and just looks at the floor, his feet, the bag, anywhere but Dehya.
Yeah he's been informed of a few things.]

[Dehya blinks slowly.] You took another one?
[Yeah.]
[Yeah.]
[Kaveh groans, unlocks his phone, and holds up the home screen for her.
To the new headlock selfie.
Drunk Kaveh set it as the home screen.]

[Dehya whistles.] Didn't know you were into that.
I don't remember taking this so I cannot answer what I am and am not into, Dehya.
[He's so upset about not remember tbh.]
[He's so upset about not remember tbh.]
I didn't need an answer. [She waves her hands. Kaveh can contemplate that when he has less of a headache and is on his own. Because he will.] Anyway, you should get some rest. You really look like you need it.
The painkillers should help with that, at least.
[He sighs a bit to himself.]
...Was it really over a thousand comments?
[He sighs a bit to himself.]
...Was it really over a thousand comments?
I didn't go through all of them. [Her lips quirk up..] That was already more of Alhaitham than I ever wanted to see.
...Dehya what do you mean by that?
[Kaveh has somehow manage to grow several shades paler.]
[Kaveh has somehow manage to grow several shades paler.]
[Dehya just raises a brow, silent.
And then, after leaving him to suffer for a minute, she laughs.] Don't worry, you didn't share his dick. Far as I know.

There is a lot of the rest of him you are conspicuously not covering?
[DEHYA? DEHYA DON'T DO THIS TO HIM???]
[DEHYA? DEHYA DON'T DO THIS TO HIM???]
'Cause there was a lot of him not covered. [There's no saving Kaveh from the photo of Alhaitham with a towel barely on his hips.]
What?
[Oh he downright squeaked. You made a grown man squeak, Dehya, I hope you're happy.]
[Oh he downright squeaked. You made a grown man squeak, Dehya, I hope you're happy.]
Hey, if Alhaitham didn't bring it up it must not have bothered him, right? [Dehya waves a hand.] You probably still feel like shit, so take a painkiller and a nap.
[And worry about sorting through 1,000 comments later.]
[And worry about sorting through 1,000 comments later.]
Oh, sure, just take a nap while I've gone and drunkenly posted my--posted Alhaitham to the public for the whole network to see. Easy.
[Mehrak has helpfully floated off to get him a glass of water for the painkillers tho.]
Anything else I should be emotionally prepared for before I check my shellphone, Dehya?

[Dehya hums, rubbing her chin.] I don't think there's anything else. Least not about you, but you and Zack set off a whole thing with people posting pictures.
[She smiles, this time more reassuring.] It was all in good fun, don't worry.
[She smiles, this time more reassuring.] It was all in good fun, don't worry.
All in good fun...
[He sighs a little, and shakes his head, but he does--pause. And stare at Dehya a bit.]
...Hey, before you go, let me ask you something.
[He sighs a little, and shakes his head, but he does--pause. And stare at Dehya a bit.]
...Hey, before you go, let me ask you something.
[Dehya's about to turn to go when Kaveh speaks up again. She stops.] What's up?
[He smiles, a little lopsided, and very warm.]
You were helping him with his 'research survey', weren't you?
You were helping him with his 'research survey', weren't you?
I answered it, yeah. [And then cornered him for some proper girl talk on the matter because he clearly needed it.]
