[ SWEET JIAOQIU... ]

Hey, Jiaoqiu. [ ... ] You're looking pretty rough.

[fried]

[ a pause - his vision is especially terrible today, so it takes him a second to register as he looks over in claude's direction. ]

Claude? [ ... ] I've been better.

[midway]

[ Oh no. ]

I won't force you awake too long then. You can at least sleep and recover. [ Until they end up at curfew in the garden. ] Do you know where you are?

[fried]

... I don't know that I'll be able to sleep, but I appreciate it.

[ he rests his head against the wall. ]

Is this the hospital? It smells like it.

[midway]

That's right. There was a whole gaggle of people who escorted you here. I've seen kings with smaller entourages.

[ Will pull up a seat to sit next to him. ]

Do you know who you are?

[ A stupid question, but they have had identity issues the past two weeks. ]

[fried]

[ he laughs a little at this, exhausted. ]

Well, I suppose I'd be stupid to not realize people care.

[ as for the question, he smiles. ]

I do, for now. But if I tell you I'm a high school student from Virginia, please ignore me.

[midway]

A... what? From where?

[fried]

Good question. I have no idea.

[ Thankfully, Claude has never heard of America. ]

... Well, I'll keep a look out. In any case, I am glad you're being reasonable and resting.

I can't say the same for Yves and Siffrin.
