So, Atton's no longer feeling disorientated. He's starting to walk better.

New problems have arisen, though. Atton has been alternating between feeling freezing and feeling like he's burning up. It started rather abruptly, and it isn't very pleasant.

Right now, he's freezing. Thus, he's wandering around his room, shirtless and barefoot but with a thick blanket draped over his shoulders, shivering.

"Cause ye seem to be 'urtin' a lot an just well, I'm worried 'bout ye an na sure the useful thing to bring so thought ye might like a beer is all."

"Will, I have injuries from months of torture, of course I'm hurting. But 's nothing painkillers won't fix."

"Oh aye, guessin' a 'ug would just 'urt then?"

"Yes, but I won't say no to one, anyway."

Carefully, Will hugs Atton trying not to go too tightly on any injuries, but Belle taught him how to hug so he does a decent job.

"Thanks."

"Ye're welcome."

Will ends the hug and flops back down on the floor staring at the holo screen.

"Keep having nightmares." Atton says, absently, passing a controller to Will.

Will takes the controller and just nods,

"Aye, they're always worse then the pain."

Snort. "Not exactly unusual. I usually don't sleep well."

"Ye been able to sleep at all?"

"Little bit."

"Told Guppy yet, 'e might be able to give ye somethin' that will 'elp ye sleep."

"Guppy has enough to worry about."

"Oh aye, well could ask 'im sayin' was for me if ye wished."

"And why would you need stuff to help you sleep, Will?" Giving Will a look. It's the look that seems suspiciously like he's looking through Will, and says that he'll know if Will tries to lie.

"Used to 'ave fairly awful nightmares an told Guppy 'bout 'em, could say they've come back."

"What were they about?"

"Got 'eld by the Sheriff for three days an they were goin' to 'ang me, naught to what ye've gone through but 'appened."

Will gives a small shrug and pulls up his shirt so Atton can see the scars.

Atton looks at the scars, frowning.
"If anybody ever does something like that t'you again, tell me. I'll make them pay." Mildly.

"Aye, though feel the same way 'bout ye, Atton, an was o'er a year ago, naught's 'appened since then."

"Good."

"So do ye wish me to ask Guppy for ye?"

"No."

Will just shrugs again and looks at the controller though he does give Atton a one armed hug,

"So what do the buttons do?"
