[He's flushed. Duke's skin is streaked with pink, sweaty and feverish, and he looks like he baked in the sun too long. Clearly moving is not easy right now - he's groaning even as he sets the communicator down. For a second he fixes it with a consternated stare, and lifts his hands up for examination.]

I don't know what's going on or if you're - burning it or what. But can you stop it? Ice water. My only request.

[Private to Rogue]

There's something here that belongs to you. [He has no idea if she can even see this - he suspects not - but pans the feed over the miniature Rogue. It's intact, except for its eyes - the irises are both scratched out, porcelain cracked. He just couldn't stand it staring at him.] I'm so sorry.

It's not… This isn't like me.

[It takes her a while to respond because her eyes are in agony. Someone may have even heard her screaming, because she did. Having your eyes scratched out is painful.]

Stop! Mah gawd, what did ya do?!

[Her eyes are closed, tears leaking in a steady stream from both. ]

[Logically, she knows her eyes are fine. She can probably even still see. But opening her eyes just seems unbearable. They feel like they should be bleeding, empty sockets.]

Dean. Have him give it ta Dean, or tell Dean ta come get it if he's well enough. If Ah touch it, it'll vanish and end up somewhere else.

It's a flood. It'll pass.

[It's kind of her way of waving it off. She'll be more gracious later. When the pain stops.]

Could ya do me a favor and call him? Ah can't open mah eyes just now.

[It takes him a moment to come on - he's juggling a lot of different situations right now, and the effort is taxing him more than it should - but once he does his expression slams closed and his lips thin.]

What the hell?

Where are you? Rogue, sugar, where are you?

neuropathy: (a willing heart and a part that's clean)
From: [personal profile] neuropathy
Yeah. But hey, couple days from now everything'll be back to normal.

[ The communication cuts out at this point because Nathan is putting Brownie in his cabin and legging it over to Duke's. When he actually shows up at the door, he has beer! From the pub. That Duke runs. It's something ridiculous and imported, because Duke is having a shitty day, and also they need to Talk. ]

[ He shakes his head, then tugs a bottle out of the six pack, because dwelling on it won't help Duke. Nathan knows he's lucky (or maybe not lucky, exactly, given that most things on Barge, as they affect or don't affect given passengers, have nothing to do with luck). ]

Think you can concentrate long enough to talk about somethin' else?

[ If not, and he manages to convey this as well without speaking, they can Not Talk. Or they can play backgammon. Whatever Duke needs. ]

From: [personal profile] walkingmeltdown
Oh.

[He squints at that face for a moment before he feels entirely sure, but...yep, this guy does bear certain resemblance to the doll he was taking his aggression out on earlier.

He blinks at Duke for a beat, and then casts a wry and pointed look down at his currently empty but like always violently glowing hand.

Ah. Well, for what little it's worth, I wasn't aware of the nature of the dolls yet, when that happened.

[Can you see him rolling his eyes, Duke? Well. Maybe you can't, actually.]

If I see it later, I'll dip it into the sink for you. All right? It's not like I was actually able to make you melt for real.
