Solal gave him a confused look and shook his shoulder gently. “Achilleas?” Then a little harder. “Achilleas.” He started to reach for the comm to call for medical help. What was wrong with Achilleas tonight? He seemed stressed and jumpy and well… Fainty. Had he stressed himself into a medical problem?

Achilleas stirred before Solal had a chance to reach the comm panel. He blearily looked around in confusion as the surroundings looked unfamiliar to him. He did see Solal looking at him all confused though and the moment came rushing back. He buried his face into the bedding and let out a frustrated/embarrassed/angry shout. Then he got up off the ground and sat on the edge of the bed while he looked away from Solal.

“Are you okay?” Solal asked, going into a muddy, foggy doctor mode. “Any dizziness? Confusion? Headache? Chest pain?” He rattled off symptoms pertaining to fainting as he remembered them. He moved over a little to give Achilleas space to sit. “Don’t stand yet. You might faint again. You should have stayed on the floor.”

~ Solal

Achilleas sighed and rattled off the answers to the diagnostic questions. “No, no, no, and no.” He sighed again as he put his face in his hands. His next statement was likely a little muffled. “Let’s forget that just happened. And for the love of everything decent please don’t allude to yourself dying again. I don’t think I could take that kind of shock a third time.”

“Achilleas, you fainted. My being ill is a poor-” he stopped as his muddled mind caught onto the discrepancy. “Third time?” He asked, looking at Achilleas. “What was the first time?”
