[It had been odd -- an otter in the clinic, but it was where Jo insisted on being. Spike had been hurt, again, and Chase was seemingly missing. She wasn't having any luck looking for him as an otter, so she figured if he was around, he'd show up for a shift at the clinic eventually.

Instead, Jo wakes up from her spot on the ground. She'd curled up in her otter-shaped self on the tile to take a nap. Now she is very much awake and very much aware of just how cold the tile is.]

Oh... no.

[the sheet she had been curled up on is now being tugged around her body. quickly. she reaches for her journal and glances around the room and hopes that Spike is sleeping.]

So... I'm human again. [Jo whispers to the journal.]


(ooc: over the journal or in person if you're in the clinic...)

[The humor disappears as quickly as it came.]

That's going to happen.

[huntersdaughter]

[SPIKE. Y SO DISMAL.]

Yeah, I noticed.

[gottaknockhard]

[Hospitals put him in a mood. He falls quiet for another drawn out minute before he thinks of something to say.]

What are the odds that you're willing to be a distraction so I can sneak out of here?

[huntersdaughter]

I'm naked under this sheet and you're wondering if I can be a distraction?

[gottaknockhard]

That's where I got the idea.

[huntersdaughter]

So thoughtful. I'll help, but I'm gonna request spot checks on your recovery. Meaning, I come find you and you can't bullshit me when I ask how you're feeling.

[gottaknockhard]

You drive a tough bargain.

[... Considering he's bullshitting right now. Still, better than getting that from a doctor who wants any excuse to poke and prod you.]

[huntersdaughter]

I make the only deal that's available.

[gottaknockhard]

I guess I can live with it then.

[huntersdaughter]

Good. [She'll sit up and pat him on the knee, slipping off the bed and ... fixing the sheet. Sorry.]

I'll go find the doctor and keep her busy. [It's great that Elliot tagged into this!]

[gottaknockhard]

[That'll work. Spike tries not to wince at that knee pat and sits up. -- He might end up limping his way out, but he thinks he can manage.]

Take your time.

[huntersdaughter]

[She'll just start a lovely conversation and let Spike sneak out.]
