fissionmailed | [Let's take a walk]

[Elisa walked down the hallway with a pleasant smile on her features, after exiting the nearby elevator. She's not wearing her normal 'work clothes' today, surprisingly enough- and instead dons a pair of shorts with an oversized T-shirt and sneakers on her feet. The girl's long, uneven blonde hair is tied back in a low ponytail that reaches down to the middle of her back.]

[In this medic's hand is a leash. And attached to this long leash is... a certain teenage boy.]

[This boy wears a pair of shorts and sandals that she dressed him in herself, a tanktop, a collar around his neck... and a securely-wrapped straitjacket.]

Isn't this nice, Null? [She walks him along; her grip firmly holding the other end of his leash] Must feel good to stretch your legs after days of being inside, hm?

[-Not that she expects him to respond. Even if he's no longer completely sedated as he was for a good amount of this week, Null is likely still not in the best of moods... not that it's ever easy to tell what mood he's in, exactly. A wistful sigh] This is just like old times. [For better, and for worse.]

[She'll enjoy this nostalgia while she can. Depending on Null's behavior, this may be the last day that she can actually call herself his caretaker.

((Elisa is taking her Null out for a walk :| But feel free to approach them for a chat, if you wish. Takes place after these ordeals.))

[Elisa blinks as she looks down at the unfamiliar boy]

...Me?

[No, she doesn't immediately see what the problem is] Just... walking, I suppose.

[He points at Fox, then at her, then at the leash, then back at Fox as if he can't make up his mind what's more strange and Not Good.]

What did you do to Fox?! Why's he tied up like that?!

[Oh man, she's kidnapping him! I gotta call Daddy! A Snake Arm grabs for his radio, but the number isn't dialed in yet.]

[ASDHKLDFGHFK fffffff]

U-um....! [Perhaps even more distressing than his misconception of the situation, was that this little boy has just dropped the mighty "F-word". Elisa isn't sure how much Null knows about his future self or that codename he'll have some day, but the less he knows, the better. If he somehow managed to connect the dots and figure out that she's dating his older self, the situation would be very unfortunate.]

[Forcing out a short burst of laughter] Ahaha-- uh- you're a very darling boy, but I'm afraid your imagination has gone wild; this isn't a fox, he's a human boy!

[She immediately kneels down, going to place a hand over his radio in order to get him to listen to her] Look.... I know this looks bad, but I can guarantee you that I'm not hurting him.

[He freezes and swallows hard. The Snake Arms move nervously behind him.]

B-But you're a stranger an' he's tied up...

No no... There's no need to worry.

[Elisa attempts to give a reassuring smile] I may be a stranger to you, but I've known this boy for years now. I'm his doctor, you see.

...If you could; please call him Frank.

Are you a friend of his?

[His Doctor? Daddy always took the terrible children to see Dr. Stiles, but maybe Fox had a different one.]

Frank...He likes his civilian name better? In my world he was Solid's, my brother's, best friend...

[This lady didn't seem like a kidnapper...The Snake Arms calm down even further.]

[Her voice is lowered still] Yes, he likes that name a lot better.

[Best friend? As children? ...Ah...] You're the third child, aren't you?

[This is the first time she's met a solidus. But judging by his light hair and talking about the other clones as if they all grew up around each other, this boy truly is from an alternate universe.]

Well. It's a pleasure to finally meet you... George?

Okay...Frank then.

[He looks surprised. There aren't many people in the nexus who seemed to know about him, much less his civilian name.]

Yeah, that's me. I like "Solidus" better though; that's what Daddy usually calls me. What's your name?

[Lifting her hand for a shake] Elisa.

As I said, I'm Frank's doctor- but I also work for the Nexus as a public doctor. I mainly work on the 4th floor, so feel free to stop by if you ever need anything from a mere band-aid to braces. [A chuckle] ...Not that you need them, of course.

[Solidus shakes her hand with a Snake Arm. After he thinks for a moment, he tugs his hoodie down a little to show Elisa the bruises around his neck.]

Can you help with these? And why's Fo...Frank tied up like that?

[What strange inventions these mechanical arms are.]

[Elisa watches the boy lower her hoodie and blinks in surprise at the sight]

...You...

Did someone... really do this to you?

She didn't mean to, I don't think...She said I was crying too loud, that the wolf would hear me and get us both...

[He releases the shirt and pats it, hiding the dark bruises away again and looking warily at the leash. Doctor Elisa hadn't told him why Fox was all tied up like that; it made him nervous.]

uh...

[Damn. With Null in the state he's in, it wont be long until he's lucid and potentially dangerous again... This boy really doesn't need another close encounter with death. Even if Frank is most likely going to be a lot calmer today than he was before, Elisa isn't willing to take that chance.]

...Right now... isn't the greatest time. You see, Frank had a bit of an issue recently, and may still be a little distressed. The jacket is what's safest for him right now... It's hard to explain. I use the leash to guide him, because the medication he's on right now leaves him very groggy, and his senses aren't so sharp at the moment.

But please; come to that infirmary I mentioned tomorrow morning, okay? I can help treat the bruising then. Right now, I've got to help Frank a little more... is that okay?

[Solidus thinks for a long time before nodding. He'd make sure Daddy knew about Fox and Elisa and the leash, though.]

[Nodding as he speaks.] Okay. The fourth floor. Tomorrow morning. Doctor Elisa. I'll remember!
