Priestly had spent ages preparing his outfit. Though he'd performed as "Sentience Freenik" a few times already, the Metronome's open mic drag night was kiiiind of a big deal in the drag community, and he was looking at it as Sentience's "coming out", as it were.

He certainly got plenty of double takes and strange looks as he, Dinah, Mark, and Tia walked to the club. Really, it was like they'd never seen a grown, bearded man wearing a bright yellow lacy dress before.

"Man," Mark said. "You look like you took a bath in blended canary."

Priestly stared at him. "That might be the most horrifying thing you've ever said to me."

"That can't possibly be true."

Tia smacked Mark upside the head. "I'm totally stealing that dress from you later," she said.

Priestly grinned. "Awww, thanks!"

Dinah snickered, relieved he was feeling No Pain, and dragged a chair over to the side of his bed to sit down. "That answers that question." She squeezed his hand. "I'm gonna call Tia, tell her to feed Stevesie, as soon as you're asleep, all right?"

I'm so glad you're okay, dude. Jaime and Momoko are on their way. Karla might be too.

"Do you need anything?"

"I'll be sure and tell the nurses that," Dinah said, blinking hard. "Hey, do you want some crushed ice?"

She sent love/relief/calm to him and sent, Really, really glad you're going to be okay. But I'm sorry Sentience didn't get to sing tonight.

More giggling. And still more. Until it turned into a sniffle-giggling. "I will, I promise." She leaned her forehead on his arm. Never giving you a hard time when I get hurt again, damnit. Nope. Just. Promise not to do this again.

"Tia said she's fine." Dinah took a second to pull herself together, then leaned her chin on his arm. Police said the guy wasn't drunk, just an asshole. And the kid shouldn't have been walking there, so. Some community service for him. Aloud she added, "Mark went off to scourge the press. They think you're a superhero. A really flamboyant one."

"Because you rise to the occasion," Dinah teased him, starting to giggle again. "Able to match colors and rescue damsels simultaneously." She paused, then mentally added with a lot of reassurance, I called your mom. She's on her way.

"Nooooo. Well, she's not thrilled you got hurt. I wouldn't want to be that car's driver." Dinah may have entertained some vindictive thoughts about tracking that guy down herself. "But mostly she's worried. And upset. I promised I'd call her as soon as I knew how you were going to be. She'll get here as fast as she can." She squeezed his hand.

"Hero," Dinah reminded him. "It'll be okay. And I bet she did less of that and more trying to figure out what to bring you when she got here." She rubbed a thumb over his temple. If you need to sleep, just sleep. I'll tell people to go away until you're feeling like dealing.

"Momoko and Jaime are on their way. Karla might be too." She paused and added, "And anybody else who wants to talk to Samboyant Sous or the Drag Crusader."

"'Cause you got hit by a car. Goofus." Dinah shook her head. Do you remember that?

Sorry, sweetie. Dinah rubbed his head affectionately and said aloud, "But see, they let me keep my promise, you've got such good drugs you almost forget that happened." I would have found you more of them if they weren't gonna share.

"I was," Dinah agreed, torn between wanting to giggle a lot and the sniffles again. In a nice way, not a creepy way. Although right now I'm wishing I could take pain like Raven does, or heal you up, instead of just talking softly.

Any medical staff watching this would hopefully just think Priestly was really on the good drugs. Dinah didn't feel like correcting him.

Karla will check and make sure everything's good when she gets here, she promised. And said aloud, "It's a good thing healing is nice, you're going to be doing a lot of it this summer."
