Naraht glides in behind Hank.

"Okay, hatchmate. Where do you need me?"

Eager Horta dying to make up for his utter uselessness and helplessness of the last few days. God help us all.

[OOC: I hope that this is OK if I join in the thread but Amanda is in the Infirmary. If it's a problem I can delete the post.]

Hearing her Naraht Amanda rushes over to and hugs her friend. There are tears of joy falling down her face. This emotional outburst while uncharacteristic of Amanda the dark circles under her eyes tell the story.

Naraht hugs her back with enthusiasm.

"Amanda! Am I ever glad to see you! But what are you doing here? Did the bastard whammy you too? I didn't know, though granted it would have been near impossible for anyone to tell me. Oh! How did the date go? Hope you had a good time. If anyone needed one, you did..."

Better interrupt him before he talks your ear off.

At this point she is just very happy to hear him talking but since she is tired she interupts, "Naraht, I'm glad you're better." Glancing over in the direction of Nina, "Nina got cursed. I'm here with her." looking a really sad. The she blushes followeed by a smile, "It went well, I'll tell you all about it later." [OOC: though we are still slowtiming it]

All of her emotions currently magnified from not sleeping for about 48 hours.

Naraht reins in his voder and looks Amanda over carefully.

"Mother bless, Amanda. I'm suprised to see you still on your feet given your energy levels. You should lie down and rest. Or, if you feel you can't do that, at least sit down."

He chuckles a bit. "You can even use me for a bench. You've seen for yourself what a good heater I make."

Then he sobers again. "I don't believe I know Nina. I take it she was one of those who was hit harder than the rest of us."

Naraht had been one of those she had been most worried about. "Nina is a dear friend and yes she was hit hard."

[OOC: I'm avoiding talking about it too much since we havn't RPed her curse ending yet.]

SHe takes Naraht up on his idea to take a seat on him. But right now what she needs is to talk to him. Hear his voice and have him understand her. "Hope that it hadn't gotten any worse before the end."

"Well, Peter's got the Milliways psych contingent ready to deal with the aftermath," he says reassuringly. "If you like, I'll send him this way when I see him next. For that matter, I probably should sit down with him for a long chat myself."

He sighs. "I will never take communication for granted again as long as I live."

SHe holds onto him tightly, "She could probably use the help. Though I don't think she would accept it."

He can probably feel warm tears on his 'flesh'. The emotions from the last week finally accumilating, the anger, worry, and helplessness.

Anger, worry and helplessness? Oh, Naraht is quite familiar with all of those. He reaches up to pat her arm.

"Let go, Amanda. Let it out. It's safe to do so now."

Amanda doses off in the warmth of Naraht's body and voice. She hadn't meant to but she is just comfortable.

Naraht chuckles silently to himself and stays put. She let him "lean" on her during all of this. Only right he should return the favor.

"Naraht!" Hir is promptly bowled over (as much as a boulder can be bowled over) by a strawberry-blond CSI.

"Careful," Naraht cautions with laughter in his voice. "Don't want to bruise or scrape you up too badly."

Fringe strains to give Catherine a hug. "Mother bless us all, it's good to have that over with!"

Catherine hugs hir back enthusiastically. "God, it was hard trying to speak to you--there were so many things I wanted to say..."

"Same here," Naraht agrees. "Worse than prison. The only walls are in your mind, but those are the most frustrating."

He looks her over. "How are you doing?"

Guppy comes over and puts one hand on the horta's back.

"Welcome back."

Naraht cheerfully ficks his fringe at Guppy.

"Great to be back! What do you need, boss? You have an eager volunteer at your complete disposal."

"I could murder a pint."

He smiles. "What skills do you have? Treatment aside this is a major incident, so we could probably use help with getting food and drinks to people who have been around a long time. You are of course free to go and rest if you need to."

"Believe me. Rest is one thing I have no need of," Naraht says. "If you need someone for food service, you've got it."

He pulls out a PADD to start making a list.

"So a pint for you. And I'll add a sandwich because you look like you could use one."

"Oh no, I was kidding about the pint. Can't drink on duty. But a glass of coke would be much appreciated. Er... the drink, not the rock stuff. And yes, thanks. Sandwiches will be good for the others too."

Naraht laughs.

"Okay, Coke for now but a pint waiting for you when you get a break. How about I just get a big variety tray and wander around with it?"

"That sounds a great idea. Thanks Naraht. You might want to ask Hank if he wants anything."

[ooc: Mun has gone to bed. Slowtime/fade?]

Guppy is there throughout the night helping quietly and efficiently in his own way.

And of course it is at that monment that Hank's X-Pager chooses to go off.

He is about to address Guppy when it does and he grabs it.

"Damn! A medical emergency back aty the mansion. Guppy, you can handle this, I know you can. I have every confidence in you."

He quickly claps Guppy on the back and then he is off and gone.

Guppy looks somewhat surprised for a few seconds then calls after him.

"Okay. Hope everything's all right back home."

He gets back to work.

"What can I do?" Catherine slips up behind Hank, putting her hands on his shoulders.

And of course it is at that monment that Hank's X-Pager chooses to go off.

he is about to address Catherine when it does and he grabs it.

"Damn! A medical emergency back aty the mansion. Catherine, if Anything you can do is great. I love you and I am sorry. Guppy and Abs are good men and they can handle it. I have every confidence in them,"

He quickly hugs and kisses Catherine to within an inch of her life and then he is off and gone.

Dr. Venkman has stopped down. A lot of people were hurt, and suffering from trauma. They were going to need serious help.

"Hey Hank, stopping by to lend a hand, and thinking we should get a formal team set up for psychiatry and psychology here. It's long overdue in my opinion."

And of course it is at that monment that Hank's X-Pager chooses to go off.

he is about to address Naraht when it does and he grabs it.

"Damn! A medical emergency back aty the mansion. Venkman, that sounds like a good idea. Can we talk when I get back? If you can heklp in the infirmary that would be great. Guppy and Abs are good men and they can handle it. I have every confidence in them,"

He quickly shakes his head and then he is off and gone.

"Sure, good luck, Hank." He waved.

Abs is around all night, doing what he can.
