Don't think you're the first, so just save it. [he folds his arms and balls his hands into fists, glaring at the wall in favor of Daedalus] ...How is he?

[gaveherwings.livejournal.com]

Taking well to the counteractive agent- [Stubborn even in the face of what he'd done. Daedalus frowned.] I left him to Dr. Seabring, she's dealt with several victims of the 'interrogative standard' before.

[Naruto just sort of...deflates and loses the angry look, to be replaced with one more resembling a kicked puppy] Can I go in soon, or what?

[gaveherwings.livejournal.com]

[A sigh. He doesn't quite have the endurance to have this chewing out now either, truth be told..and so instead he simply shakes his head.] It will be some time until he's ready to go home. Thank you for bringing him by... why don't you go home and get some rest yourself?

[unfeasible.livejournal.com]

Nah, I'll-- [he bows his head to rub nervously at the back of his head, and scuffs one foot along the floor] I'm gonna stick around until he wakes up. Not gonna just...leave him here.

[gaveherwings.livejournal.com]

I do hope that...you understand exactly what it is that you have done, to all of us.

[unfeasible.livejournal.com]

[a sharp warning look] All of you? What're you talking about? I know what I did.

[gaveherwings.livejournal.com]

To all of us. By using very public channels on the newcomer network, we could very well all be considered auxiliary accomplices to your...caper, you're aware?

[unfeasible.livejournal.com]

Don't be stupid. I did that so someone would know where we were if something happened. If SERO checks out the transmission, I bet they'll see how surprised everybody was. Besides, they weren't interested in that at all.

[gaveherwings.livejournal.com]

Surprised or not, it's still a breach of security and an information leak which could be plugged by targeting a very specific community- the whole of us.

Your casual negligence does everyone no favor, particularly if they decide that we are a collective threat to corporate security.

[unfeasible.livejournal.com]

Fucking DROP it, Doc. I KNOW. You're not the first to tell me how fucking stupid I am and I bet you won't be the last. So just stuff it.

[gaveherwings.livejournal.com]

It apparently bears repeating, if this is the attitude you're taking.

[unfeasible.livejournal.com]

Whaddya want me to do, huh?! Just sit around crying my fucking eyes out for the next fifty years and beg everybody's gracious forgiveness!? I'm trying to FIX this, so shut your damn face before you come at me all high and mighty!!

[gaveherwings.livejournal.com]

No. [Daedalus is stern, put-off still, mostly because it's finally catching up with him that he'd barely been out of this hospital six hours ago, and now he's back in.]

I expect you to be more sensible in the future, and perhaps I'd be inclined to respect your remorse if you hadn't all but ordered me out of bed and into work early, because the outcome your mistakes need tending to. That's not you trying to fix things, that's shouting at me to 'have a bed ready' to fix your problems.

[His voice softens, tired, and he kneads at his forehead, looking away]

I'm a doctor, it's my job, but I dislike mopping up the afters of things which should have never happened this way to begin with, and then being treated rudely, as if I were somehow included in the accountability.

...your friend will make full recovery.

[there are a million angry arguments in his head, but Naruto's too stunned to say anything. he'd called Daedalus because he TRUSTED him...and that was getting thrown back in his face. like everything else this week. godFUCKINGdammit.

he turns his back on Daedalus because it's all he can to not explode]


Good.
