Nic was at his computer like usual. It still looked like he hadn't gotten any sleep.

"Hey..." Laurel said quietly, voice pretty hoarse.

Nic didn't appear to notice her, but he slowly pulled away as usual. "Water?" he asked quietly.

"No..." Laurel replied, gently rubbing the top of her head.

Seeing her ears were doing better he spoke in a voice with a more normal volume. "Would you like another tablet?"

Laurel shook her head but quickly stopped, apparently it was still too early for that. "No thanks." she replied instead.

"Anything else?" he offered.

Laurel watched Nic closely for a long moment, "You haven't slept." she stated quietly, eyes expressing concern.

"I'll sleep in a few hours," Nic replied. "But if you're up for it, I'm going to have Miss Q come by in awhile to help me with this."

Laurel paused before nodding slightly. "... Have you eaten?" she asked quietly.

"... Yes," Nic replied. He had eaten. But probably not as much as Laurel probably would have liked.

Laurel watched Nic for a moment longer before slowly laying back down, "I'll rest until Missy comes." she told him.

Nic nodded. About an hour later, there was a knock at the door. Nic didn't say anything.

After a moment, Laurel dragged herself out of bed and opened the door.

Missy was at the door, not looking too surprised to see Laurel. "Morning," she told her like nothing had happened.

Laurel didn't seem to remember, she nodded slightly and moved out of the way.
