1. INJURY. You've been injured. Broken bones or bleeding out or maybe just a tiny little papercut. The choice is yours.
2. SICKNESS. You're sick and laid up in bed, at home or in a hospital. The severity is up to you.
3. FEAR/ANXIETY. Something is happening and you're scared beyond belief.
4. LOSS OF SENSES. Sight, touch, taste, hearing, smell, etc. You've lost some important sense or ability and now you're left to deal with it.
5. DESPAIR. Nothing is good or right anymore and you can't shake the depression. Maybe that friend of yours can help though...
6. BREAKUP. You've been dumped. You need someone to comfort you, possibly by the one who dumped you.
7. MAKE UP. Fight or break up, it's time to makeup.
8. RESCUED. You've just been held captive and/or tortured for however long and finally, someone has come to the rescue.
9. BAD ROMANCE. Fight, cheated on, abused, whatever the case is, someone else can clearly see you need comfort from someone who isn't your terrible lover tonight.
10. LOSS. You've experience a loss of some kind and need help getting through it.
11. INSANITY. You're seeing things that aren't really there, hearing voices, or you're just convinced you're at your wit's end finally and you're going to crack. Maybe someone can give you a helping hand.
12. TIRED. You've had a heard life recently and you're just worn too thin to really care anymore. There's no fight left in you anymore. Can someone help change your mind?
13. ADDICTION. Drugs, alcohol, sex, gambling, or any other type of addiction has got you in its grasp. First time or relapse. Will someone be able to save you?
14. INSOMNIA. You can't sleep anymore, no matter how hard you try. Maybe someone can give you company.
15. NIGHTMARES. Or, on the other end of the spectrum, you can't sleep without gruesome, horrible nightmares. Either someone is stuck in your dream with you, witnessing it or they're just waking you up, soothing you out of it.
16. BLACKMAIL. You've been caught doing something you shouldn't and you were blackmailed because of it
17. SEPARATION. You're going to be separated for awhile or were separated for a long time. Either make up for lost time or try to spend every last moment together.
18. VIOLATED. You've been violated in some way. Can include sexual overtones or not. Can someone help you through it?
19. STRANDED. You've been stranded somewhere remote, with no help of anyone finding you for awhile. Can you survive this together?
20. SINS. You're feeling the weight of your sins and guilt clearer than ever. Can someone give you absolution or lessen the ache any?
21. SECRET. It's difficult having to keep that secret of yours, be it a relationship or something you just don't want to share with anybody else. Maybe it's okay to talk about it now though...
22. ADDITION. Babies should be joyous things unless you're in a situation where you know you won't be able to care for them. Either you've adopted or found out you're pregnant.

He doesn't even have to say it. The workaholic thing is kind of obvious. Texts at crazy hours, a whole lot of voicemail, and all the stuff he's got going on at once. The Morrigan must be pleased as fuck, probably why she doesn't go all musey on him or whatevs. And Kenzi totally understands! Yeah, she's kind of clingy sometimes, but she has her own stuff going on, too. That's not the issue. Making sure he takes care of himself is the thing here. That's where she gets concerned.


"...maybe Trick's got something that will help. I'll pop down tomorrow with my best pouty face and I bet he won't even make me trade for it." She'd probably have to use up a favour but he is so worth it. "You need a better dark fae health plan."

[gleans]

"Naaah, that's okay, seriously," he mutters sleepily. It'd probably help, though, since he's a long way from home and can't exactly go pick up some sand from dad. He just feels a little weird asking for favours from Trick, even though the bar he runs is neutral, because as nice as the guy is, he does throw a little bit of shade on dark fae. And don't think Galen doesn't know how he feels about Kenzi dating him.

"Just need a good sleep. S'all."

[onteamdyson]

It's not okay! And she's probably going to do it anyway. Maybe with a lot of hypothetical talk that Trick's going to see right through anyway but she'll feel a lot better than if she just blurts that out her opposite-clan-boyfriend's all kinds of weak right now. Not that Trick would ever take advantage of that. He better not ever take advantage of that.

She continues stroking his hair, just letting him lie there. He sounds so tired. She can't even watch the movie, she just keeps staring down at him with her lips pressed into a thin line. So much frowning. If she was actually paying attention, she'd totally be yelling at the bleached blonde bimbo running right into the arms of the horrible lake monster. So predictable. She usually loves yelling at the TV when this kind of shit happens! But no. Too preoccupied.

"I could always go grab the baseball bat." She keeps her voice quiet in case he's on the verge of drifting off. "Or think of some other ways to completely exhaust you. Just saying."

[gleans]

Nope, still awake. Galen snorts, but he's too exhausted for even that, right now. That's how bad it is.

"Mmm, raincheck," he mutters, smiling. He sounds a little hazier, now. "Not... on the bat." On the... that. the other thing.

[onteamdyson]

"Fffff, deal." What an eloquent and coherent speech. Such mastery over the English language! it even rhymed!

Kenzi slowly, and carefully, adjusts herself so that her head is resting against the arm of the couch but she's not disturbing Galen in any way when she moves. She ends up kind of curled around him protectively with her arm around him. "Hey, Galen? You know I love you, right?" Because just in case he forgot, he should really know that she really does. No matter what anyone else says. "Unsweet dreams."

[gleans]

Galen smiles, one hand reaching for hers as he curls up, feeling comfortable for the first time in days. Maybe this time, he'll actually get to sleep. He kind of has a feeling he will.

"I love you too," he mumbles, fingers curling around hers. It's so weird to say it, and sometimes he's afraid to, because of what loving a human means in the fae community -- particularly the dark community. But he's happy, they're safe, and she's close. It's all he wants, right now.

"Thanks."
