09 ⚓ Video ⚓ I had to wander on sick and sorry till the gods delivered me from evil

[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.

Attach your what?

[Private + Dean] Sorry about that, my phone sent it SUPER LATE

[surfaceshine]

Lassiebot. Iris makes 'em. They can find each other, in case you get kidnapped, or die somewhere outta the way.

If you put it on and the doll disappears the next person could destroy it. Temporary fix.

Can you give it to someone else you trust in a couple of hours?

[surfaceshine]

If someone destroys it, Iris fixes it, no big.

That's up to her, but I wouldn't be happy about it.

[hearrrtofgold]

But the next person could take it off. Can you permanently attach it without hurting Rogue?

[Private + Dean]

[surfaceshine]

Probably not.

I don't know. I don't know yet.

[Private + Dean]

[hearrrtofgold]

[Grimly:] Superglue.

[Private + Dean]

[surfaceshine]

Maybe.

Or duct tape.
