Because ahaha why the heck not.

{Suddenly, Clive! This is essentially what has just happened, as one second he was being led away from the wreckage of his machine by Inspector Chelmly, and now he's in a rather fancy looking lobby. What the heck.

He takes a few cautious steps, weary of his pounding head, and looks about.}

... Hello? Is there anyone here?

[She laughs herself, and prods his nose.]

I mean it, you look like you could use some sun. At least without the freckles you can get away with getting sun.

[crazyclever.livejournal.com]

Am I really that pale? {He didn't think he was...}

[icefreckled.livejournal.com]

...well, I can't exactly talk in that regard, I guess.

Still, getting sun will help you feel better.

[And you definitely need that. }:|]

[crazyclever.livejournal.com]

I suppose. I thought we couldn't leave, though?

[icefreckled.livejournal.com]

You can get up onto the roof, though!

...well, so long as you don't mind either a lot of stairs or a very long trip in the lift.

[crazyclever.livejournal.com]

...Perhaps later then.

[icefreckled.livejournal.com]

[She laughs again.]

Well... is there anything you'd like to do?

[crazyclever.livejournal.com]

I...
I don't know.

[icefreckled.livejournal.com]

...given what you said was the last thing that happened before you arrived, what about sleeping?

[crazyclever.livejournal.com]

That would be nice...
But... I bumped my head, you see... I don't know if it would be a very good idea to sleep right now.

[icefreckled.livejournal.com]

[...sigh.]

Would you like me to stay with you while you sleep? I can keep an eye on you for any signs of concussion.

[crazyclever.livejournal.com]

...Yes. Yes, that would be very nice. {He's very quiet.}

[icefreckled.livejournal.com]

Well... would you like to sleep here, or do you have rooms of your own?

[crazyclever.livejournal.com]

I just picked out the room next door...

[icefreckled.livejournal.com]

That works, then.

[She stands up.] Come on, Clive.

[crazyclever.livejournal.com]

{He stands too, following her like a puppy of sorts, which is slightly odd because they're exactly the same height.}

[icefreckled.livejournal.com]

So... this one, right?

[Gesturing to the door.]

[crazyclever.livejournal.com]

{He nods, opening the door. He hadn't really been inside yet, but it looked nice...}

[icefreckled.livejournal.com]

Now... if it's like mine, the bedroom should be through there...

[crazyclever.livejournal.com]

{He nods, going through said door, and there's a rather comfortable looking bed there. Clive suddenly realizes how utterly exausted he is, from everything at home and then everything here.}

[icefreckled.livejournal.com]

...do you want me to stay in the room with you, or would you rather I stay out here?

[crazyclever.livejournal.com]

...Whichever you prefer.
{He yawns heavily, shedding his jacket and placing it neatly on a chair.}

[icefreckled.livejournal.com]

[She nods, watching him for a moment and then moving to sit outside of the room, though she leaves the door open.]

Sleep well, Clive.

[crazyclever.livejournal.com]

{He hears her, but doesn't really respond beyond an unintelligable mumble. He collapses onto the bed, barely having managed to get his shoes off, and he's asleep before his head hits the pillow.}
