[SO, ALISON IS TOTALLY CRAZY...]

Comments

[doubleblind]

[and your other clone is laying on the ground near the hotel entrance, coughing and trying to steady her breathing in between coughing fits]

[coppelganger]

[stumbling upon her as she limps back to the hotel herself]

Oh, shit.

[doubleblind]

[her eyes widen as she spots you]

Sara-- [nope, it's still coughing time]

[coppelganger]

[yep, her face is bloody and bruised. she looks rough! but she crouches down with a wince]

What happened?

[doubleblind]

[when the coughing fit subsides, she wipes her bloody hand off on her skirt]

... Apparently, I shouldn't be getting too emotionally worked up or this happens.

[coppelganger]

Okay. Let's—I'll—

[sliding an arm around her and trying to lift her up, though she's still kind of unsteady herself]

I'll get you some water...

[doubleblind]

Water would be great, man. You, uh, okay to grab some?

[coppelganger]

Yeah. Yeah, I'm okay.

[let's... go... to your room]

[doubleblind]

[leaning heavily on her oxygen tank as they make their way inside]

... Should I even ask what Alison did to you?

[coppelganger]

How do you know it was Alison?

[doubleblind]

I'm the smart one, remember?

[coppelganger]

[waiting until Cosima is in her room before turning to go into the kitchen]

I'll be back.

[doubleblind]

[nods in her direction before flopping onto the bed]

[THE DAY AFTER OR SOMETHING

knocking twice on the door]

[coppelganger]

[after a pause, the door opens. she looks surprised to see him there rather than Cosima, and also surprised to see his bandages, and also like someone hit her in the face multiple times the day before]

—Hey.

[staysafe]

[inclines his head toward a bag hanging off one of the crutch handles]

Hey. I come in peace.

[coppelganger]

[stepping back]

C'mon in. What's up?

[staysafe]

I told Cosima I'd offer a first aid check.

[coppelganger]

Seriously? Looks like you could use one too, honestly.

[staysafe]

I've taken care of worse.

[coppelganger]

[pointing to his bandages]

So what happened there? You run into Alison?

[staysafe]

[sits down on the bed, scratching the back of his neck]

Oil burn.

[coppelganger]

Right...

[she sounds a little doubtful, but she's not going to push it]

[staysafe]

[his smile goes a little tight-lipped, and he just shrugs]

Is your face the worst of it?

[coppelganger]

Yeah. Listen, I told Cosima I was fine.
