Pausing his work and turning to Katie, Rick gives her a warm smile. He hadn't seen her much lately, and hoped things were alright.
Her stated concern though, makes him furrow his brow. Folding his arms, he cocks his head and studies her for a moment. "I was wondering how you were doing..."
Sighing, he contemplates the whole situation. "I assume you mean you can't feel your emotions." He gestures to a chair to have her sit down. "I was wondering what sort of impact this whole thing might have on you. Although..." He squints. "From what I can see, you're looking mighty sad, which means you're feeling something."
Siting down next to her, he gives her another smile. "I could be wrong... but I'm wondering if you can still feel just fine - but things feel differently to you. I'm wondering if your emotions are still there, but since they're not being amplified by Jason, perhaps they're just harder for you to sense and to recognize. Does that make sense?"
Rick shakes his head slowly. "I may not be right - but that's my theory. Do you know if Jason is experiencing the same thing?"
It had only been an hour, but Dylan had no sense of time. All he knew was that he'd been woken by his stomach. Kicking off the blankets, he half rolls, half falls out of bed. Standing shakily, his legs buckle and he gropes for the door. Making it to the hallway, he leans against the wall, his whole body trembling. Thankfully he makes it to the bathroom in time to throw up, but once he's on the floor, he doesn't have the strength to get back up.
Seeing Pete and Trey come into Mom and Pop's, Dani's first reaction is a little sigh. She never complained about the one or two late nights a week, but she'd been hoping for a boring one tonight so Carson would let her off early and she could get in at least an hour with Dalton.
Slinging a towel over her shoulder, she eyes Trey with question. Hearing about a party, she's just about ready to react when he explains it's only three people. Grinning a little, Dani shakes her head. "Yeah, I can crank up the music a bit. But only if you guys order a pizza and make it worth my while."
It was a few minutes later that Ariel arrives as well. Entering the little restaurant, she glances around for Pete and Trey. She really wasn't sure about this. She was glad Trey was sober, in a better mood, and had apologized to her. But she wasn't ready yet to just act like everything was fine either. But he was apparently trying his best, and so was Pete, so the least she could do was make an effort as well.
Seeing Trey at the counter, she waits to see where he and Pete would sit.
