Empire Records and Bidet [7/1]

[not_entirely]

Lucas had a headache. He'd spent all week trying to work out a way to get his store out of debt, and looking at the numbers made him want to hit his head against the desk.

So: headache.

Today's music: soothing new age.

"Hey Lucas," Nadia came in and set her backpack down on the counter before starting towards the back room to see if there are any more brownies around. She paused when she saw his expression. "You okay?"

"I have a headache." Lucas muttered.

"Oh. I'm sorry. I have some painkillers in my bag, help yourself." Nadia continued off to the backroom without a second thought to the fact that while, yes, she had some painkillers, she also had the last two sleeping pills in her bag from when she was going to give one to Seras.

Lucas shrugged and dug through Nadia's bag, pulling out a packet of two little white pills.

Only two left. He shouldn't take them both, who knew if Nadia might need one. He pulled one off and put the other back into her her bag.

He noticed a warning of "may cause drowsiness" and decided he'd hold off on taking it until that night, then went back to moping about his books.

Nadia came back out, grabbed her bag, promised Lucas she'd be back on Monday, and headed out, none the wiser.
