"That's...great," Evec said, thinking privately that perhaps one of psycologists could evaluate the man. Inwardly, he sighed. He was exhausted, wanted to get home and rest. But no - he had to go back to the hospital now.
"Alright, come on," he said. "Its not that far, I'll carry you. You shouldn't be walking on that leg." _________________ A path taken is paths forsaken.

Tanwen blushed and began to protest,but she'd barely opened her mouth when he'd picked her up. She didn't way that much, 130 pounds at most, the low end of average for her age and height. |

He walked behind the doctor as he carried the girl. He had a very odd... march-like walk with unneeded arm swinging, grinning the whole way. He didn't actually like hospitals, so he really did have no clue as to why he was following them. |

They reached the hospital a short time later. The receptionist looked up, startled.
"Evec, I thought you were off duty," she said.
"I am," Evec replied. "I was picking up some coffee, when I ran into this girl who had sprained her ankle and needed attention. I - uh - also ran into him." he pointed at Joe Kerr. The receptionist looked vaguely surprised at the sight of the man, but quickly called someone to take a look. _________________ A path taken is paths forsaken.

Tanwen grumbled under her breath again about being fine. It really was only a sprain. Not much to be done for those really. She'd done it enough times before to know. |

He was quickly given to one of the many psychological experts on duty. He hated these.
"Don't tell me doc, is this one of those boring psych evaluation tests? Do I have to look at the inkblots again? The first one's a pig, the second one is a dead fish, and then the last one is a puppy I had as a child..."
The doctor assigned to him eventually sent him back to the front desk, unable to give any real diagnosis. |

Evec left Tanwen in the very capable hands of one of his colleagues, and then went looking for the psycologist, interested in they had to say over this Joe Kerr person.
"We...can't find anything wrong with him," the psycologist said, bemused. "He doesn't match any identifiable mental disorder that we're aware of."
"Have you looked at that guy?" Evec said, incredulous. "He's crazy! He's plainly crazy!"
"Well, not to any test we performed," he said. Evec shook his head and walked back to the lobby. He decided to wait for Tanwen before heading home. _________________ A path taken is paths forsaken.

Tanwen limped back into the lobby. She had her leg in a wrap with instructions to be gentle on it for a few days and keep it iced and elevated. Not that she would. It might be a bit painful to walk on,but not the end of the world. She stopped when she saw Evec waiting for her. |

He pretty much hopped on Evec and held on to him tight, "Don't ever leave me with one of those again! They prodded me with sharp metal instruments doc! You don't know the horror!!!" he laughed right after all that, and fell off the seat and Evec and began rolling on the floor.
"Oh, are we waiting for the girl? Maybe we should get her a lollipop! Oh I did love lolli's as a child!" he actually didn't know whether or not he did. He really didn't remember. |

Evec blinked, thoroughly bemused by the whole ridiculous situation he was now in - he was apparently hanging around a crazy person and a random teenage girl. He stared at Tanwen rolling on the floor and decided to pretend he wasn't there.
"Er, so you do have some place to stay?" he asked Tanwen cautiously. "I can take you there if you want." _________________ A path taken is paths forsaken.

"I..uh...no." She admitted.
She glanced at the joker and hoped that the creep would go away. It was wierd enough talking to some random guy. |

"You...don't have anywhere to stay?" Evec asked, taken aback. "Where on earth do you live? The streets?" he was appalled - and surprised. She didn't look like she'd been sleeping on the streets. _________________ A path taken is paths forsaken.

Tanwen blushed, embarrassed again.
"I don't have a home," she said.
There was an awkward moment of silence then she remembered something.
"Oh crap, I left my bag at the coffee shop..." |

"You mean this?" the ridiculous man held up a random bag. He'd just kind of picked it up back in the coffee shop, no real reason. |

"When did you....." She sighed, "Nevermind."
She took the backpack from him and slipped the straps on. |
