They're on their third draft of cards. Omega's bed is almost papered with them. Of course the twins are sharing a bed and Theta is in my room now for the sake of not being alone. They're shaken.

I want to set up a schedule. Rotate time between you, Sigma, myself, and Louisiana. Perhaps Florida and Maine as well. To make sure he's not alone but none of us are wasting away at his side. He would NOT approve.

[soldierinblack]

Sigma's busy with York, you need to continue with your work and keep the household afloat, and Florida and Maine are already doing plenty. They're better off doing what they're helping with now.

[protective_logic]

No. Tex, he's my brother too. You... I know he loves you most, but you don't just decide things are going to work a certain way. We all care about him, and we all want all of us to get through this until he's home. Which means being able to sleep and work and do our normal lives. Don't make me ask him to help me argue the point.

[soldierinblack]

Kid, he doesn't love me more. And the same goes for you, you don't get to decide people who aren't even related to us want in on a rotating schedule of hanging around him at the hospital. How about you find out if the even want to do that before you try suggesting it?

Besides, he keeps asking for me. What are you going to tell him if I'm not around?

[protective_logic]

Right. Sorry.

[Beta comes first. Omega hates him. Reminders delivered.]

I don't know what I'd do. I'm sorry.

[soldierinblack]

You don't need to apologize. You're doing everything you need to be.

Are you making sure you eat and get sleep and everything?

[protective_logic]

Of course. Are you?

[soldierinblack]

Yeah, I'm taking care of myself. You don't need to worry about me.

[protective_logic]

You sent us Florida, and you're focused on Omega. So who is going to worry about you?

[soldierinblack]

I can't worry about myself?

[protective_logic]

If you're allowed to worry about us, we're allowed to worry about you. Fair is fair.

[soldierinblack]

Appreciate it, D. But rest assured, I'm fed and haven't fallen over from exhaustion.

[protective_logic]

Makes one of us. Still, please, let me worry about you? Because I'm going to do it anyway.

[soldierinblack]

Yeah, just... Trying to get used to this whole having people worry about me thing, okay?

[protective_logic]

Yeah. That has to be really hard. But it is what family does, Beta. We worry about each other. We take care of each other. We support each other when no one else will. It's about unity and circular logic and the way people argue over waffles. That's life.

[soldierinblack]

I'm figuring it out as I go. Haven't had a chance to argue about waffles yet, though.

[protective_logic]

Well... chocolate chips are NOT an abomination.

[soldierinblack]

...I wasn't asking to argue about them right now. Who the hell hates chocolate chips enough to call them that?

[protective_logic]

They don't hate them because they are chocolate chips, but because they're in the waffles. Or pancakes.

[soldierinblack]

I don't know why you'd want something that sweet for breakfast.

[protective_logic]

It's... dark chocolate if it helps.

[soldierinblack]

If it's real dark chocolate then it helps. A little.

[protective_logic]

Well, they aren't real ones, but they're good. Not too sweet.

[soldierinblack]

I tend to go with more protein for breakfast.

[protective_logic]

The littles see pancakes as a treat. I see it as a way to get more fiber and less sugar into them.
