The answer to 8 is D. Abel >:D
Lofty this is so distant from everything else you've written lately but I am so curious about the early LU in Healthcare days. Did Time ever update Uli and Rusl after having Twilight over for dinner? How did Twilight introduce Time to Wild, or did they meet at work? Did Time ever figure out what was going on with Twilight? If any of these spark a snippet I would love to know
Malon exhaled slowly, relaxing with her head on Time's shoulder as the couple rested on the couch. It was a rare moment when neither had anything to do, and they could finally just enjoy a moment of silence together. She had been texting her cousin, Uli, updating her on meeting up with Twilight a few days ago. Time hadn't seen much of the young man since then, honestly, as he'd been quite busy in the OR (holiday weekends were always trauma weekends), but the most interaction he'd gotten was through Twilight's apparent roommate, Wild.
He was still trying to figure out what was going on, honestly. Four had a rough stretch of shifts after a patient he'd been fighting for had died, and Time had come over to help him. He'd found Legend, Sky, and a new person there as well, who had introduced himself as Wild (yet another young man named Link, most likely). It hadn't taken long for Time to figure out that Wild and Twilight were roommates, as Wild knew who Time was.
That occasion was not the time to really try to pursue any curiosity about Twilight's predicament, or to investigate his newfound questions about Wild (that kid was definitely a mystery), and so Time had focused on Four instead. But the more Malon texted Rusl and Uli, the stranger the entire situation became. At least Twilight's parents knew he was safe, though.
"Did you tell them it looks like he hasn't been eating?" Time asked quietly.
Malon sighed. "I told them we're feeding him. I don't want them to worry."
Well Time was worried, so he could only imagine how they felt.
Malon let her phone drop to her lap. "We should invite both of them over next time. When do we have another day off together?"
"Good Lord, don't ask that," Time groaned, leaning his head back and closing his eyes. "That means we have to look at our schedules again."
Malon laughed, swatting him with the back of her hand. "Oh, stop being a baby. You're so well organized in the OR--"
"I hate keeping track of schedules, hospital scheduling is from the devil."
"I can't help that you picked one of the most time intensive fields of surgery!"
Time harrumphed irritably.
