G'rhel shrugged. "Sounds good. Just cleaned the showers not 30 minutes ago, so water should be really hot." Admittedly, he was nervous about going to get food with Dr. Zayne, but it was less fear and more a combination of excitement and worry about his supervisor's opinion on 'fraternizing'...

He chuckles. "I'm not staying late, my shift starts at 8," he says with a grin as he starts to wipe down the glass on his office windows with ammonia. "I'm usually here 8 pm to 4am because I'm on night shift."

//Oh hon! I feel you. Try and find a moment for some self-care. A hot bath, a mug of creamy hot cocoa, a few minutes quiet in the yard...take care of you.

Also, get some Vitamin C in you to counteract the stress hormones. Sending you love, friend.

G'rhel blinked. THAT was new...usually the doctor would send him on his way with a dismissive grunt, but asking if he'd eaten yet in a clear invitation.

"Ah...no...I haven't. Was going to after I finished Cardiology."

"Hospital won't clean itself and day crew were short a couple guys," he said casually, as if just a matter of routine, while he emptied the bin. "You should get some sleep in a real bed, Dr. Zayne. And some protein. Sugar may be good for energy, but not your teeth, heart, or pancreas as you know."

The light was on in Dr. Zayne's office and G'rhel smiled as he opened the door. "Working late again, I see. This is the third time in three days I've come to clean and you're still at it. You of all people should know the stress that lack of sleep puts on your heart, Dr. Zayne."

"Yeah, it was, and I'd be a shitty brother if I didn't worry. When we saw the other you succumb to the crystal, I couldn't stomach food for worry that the Auracite wouldn't work." He clapped G'raha on the back with a smile. "I'm just glad it did. Didn't wanna find you just to lose you again..."

//The God of Fate look?

He thinks. "Hai...that is likely wise." He grins. "Warden, it has been far too long since I had a partner in crime." His grin softens when he recalls the thought that had caused him to stumble earlier.

"Ere we set off, I just want to say...I'm glad you made it back safely, oniichan. I...worried."

//Some people ask why I don't ship him with G'raha.

Dude, G'raha is his older half-brother. Eeeew.

However, letting the two of them loose to cause chaos and mischief? THAT I have no problem doing.

G'rhel grinned wickedly. "I thought we might ruffle a few feathers back at the Stones while Usako, Koko, and Titus are all visiting home. Nothing destructive, mind, but perhaps rearranging Urianger's bookshelf so things are no longer alphabetical or hiding all of Tataru's sewing needles."
