“I’m just an icon no matter the era. If I could remember any of this I’m sure I’d miss you too, it would make the wait excruciating to get back to this point.”
“You’re welcome… Now lay it on me, Doc.”
She would rub the area her blood was drawn from.
“What’s it looking like?”
It would be somewhat evident that there was a minor case of decay or perhaps burnout on the ends of her circuit paths.
“Well if I have you telling me all of this then it seems I’m doing alright for myself despite it all.”
She would wrap her arms around Lucinda, squeezing her gently as she held her.
“You know… I really don’t want to lose her..”
“I still am, even knowing the truth sorta… I always thought we’d be together forever, even if people wouldn’t accept it.
Clearly what I’m about to do is going to stop that… Still I have to even if I did remember that when I go back.”
“Damn that hurts!”
She would do her best to sit still as she was poked.
“I’m not too well learned on the subject yet, but I do find it odd this seems to only have happened to us here at this location…”
“That sounds… Accurate. Look, I’ve never been the type to sit around and share my feelings. Clearly that’s a constant, but I’m sure I’m open in other ways.
I just think I was going through it here. I’m starting to think what you told me yesterday and that are related.”
“Yeah and she’s me! I become a sad old lady! I literally had a wine stain down the front of my sofa and I left a wine glass on the floor! Do you know how much wine is in that room?”
“Here… I just figured like maybe your lab or whatever you have should have some tools to help.”
She’d would stick out her hand.
“If it’s not biological then it’s obviously magical, maybe a magical circuit issue?”
“And it smells like a sad old lady in there! I walked in last night and it smelt like wine, cheap perfume, and depression! You can’t get it on in an old lady’s room!”
“I see…”
She’d sit down beside him.
“Well I’m just a student studying in the Department of General Fundamental, so I’m really not much help in figuring this out…
But if you’d like to run tests I’d allow it. Blood work or whatever…”
“I wear the pants here! She listens to me, I make her clean, eat, study! That’s all me! I have big ol’ pants, and those pants say you’re GROUNDED!”
