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!"

"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."

"Don't use that as an excuse to do this again!" Dinah warned, then winced and said more softly, "Any time soon at all. Please." 'Cause you had me really scared, dude. A jolt of worry/upset probably got through without her meaning it to, then she added I'm making sure Alfred makes you all the best cookies while you're stuck on the couch.

Sorry, Dinah thought at him, with warm/calm/regret layered around it. I'll stop thinking at you if you want.

Then sighed and put her head down again, giggling. "Of course there's gonna be a next time."

Don't make her cry, damnit. Dinah smiled anyway, and sent another burst like a mental hug. Yeah. Too damn true. Even quieter she whispered, "You should nap, okay? Unless the good drugs are too fun to be unconscious for."

"As long as you want me to be." Dinah put her head down on her arms, chin resting on Priestly's hand. It's all good. You rest.
