Forgive, O Lord,
my little jokes on thee...

"........" Ty didn't say anything for a few seconds.

"I, ah.... I said that out loud, didn't I?" he mumbled.

Again, Lunet sighed. Heavily.

"Sorry." Ty apologised.

"I've just been... so worried..." he admitted. "Found it hard to lay down and close my eyes." he said further.

"Which is WHY you're headed home today, to catch UP on that lost sleep." Rene interjected, having approached the door and heard the latter part of their conversation.

...and I'll forgive thy
great big one on me.

"He will. And won't fight. Right?" Lunet asked, almost sounding like a mother, sister, or lover instead of an adoptive daughter.

"Because seriously. Not sleeping is my shtick, not yours." she added with a chuckle.

"Seriously though, relax. I'm ok. Not sure how long I'll be stuck here though."?

"...I'll go home right now." Ty said with a sheepish chuckle.

"And you will get proper sleep for the next few days, AT LEAST." Rene added. "AND you will return to your life as normal." he stressed.

"Now wait just a-" Ty started to say, before Rene interrupted.

"We'll make sure you're here for the reveal on whether or not the surgery WORKED." he said.

"...well all right then." Ty relented.

Lunet paused a moment before sighing.

"So I'm stuck here for a couple of weeks then." She commented.

"All right then. At least I brought my tech."

Rene paused for a moment, looking at the charts.

"At most." he said.

"If all goes well and swimmingly, a week." he told her.

"We'll see as time goes by." he continued.

"After all, this was the first surgery of its kind, so we want to make SURE things go as planned. Or... well... predicted." he mumbled.

"All I'm saying is that we want you to have the best aftercare."

"No worries. I get it." Lunet assured him.

"However, I do know that I'll likely have to return for the ... uhh... fitting?" She asked.

"Leo already explained about needing to heal first."

"All right then." Rene said.

"Yeah, you should be out of here between a week to two weeks, and then we'll contact you about your... as you said, fitting." he went on.

"All right, suppose I'll go, then." Ty then said.

"Glad you're all right." he told Lunet.

"There anything you want brought here?" he asked.

"Brought? No. However, I would appreciate if you could plug the cord for my tablet in and pass it over so I know where it is, for whenmy battery is getting low." Lunet answered.

"Also, ... pass me my bag, which has my tablet and whatnot in it." She added.

"I really don't want to be here twiddling my thumbs."

"Of course." Ty said.

He then proceeded to grab her bag, and placed it beside her against her arm so she knew where it was. After that, he took the cord in question and plugged it into a socket that was near her, running the cord up and draping it over one of the steel guards that were on the edge of the bed, once again, letting her feel for where it was.

"If you have any problems or issues, use the call button." Rene told her.

"It's pretty much right next to your head, so you should easily be able to find it."

great big one on me.

"Of course. Thank you Dr. Calder." Lunet said with a soft smile.

Sure enough, a few weeks later she had returned to the hospital and was sitting in Rene's office, waiting for him to return. It was time for her to find out if the surgery was all for naught, or if ti was actually a success. She knew that chances were, regardless of what happened, there would be articles regarding it, and her, as there already had been.

"Hey Dr. Calder." She greeted as she heard the door open.

"Hello." Rene responded.

"We're waiting on Leo." he told them.

"And when will he be here?" Ty asked.

"Should be in the next 5-10 minutes." Rene answered.

"So." he then said.

"Nervous, Lunet?" he asked Lunet.

...and I'll forgive thy

"Oh! I thought you'd left to get him or something." Lunet admitted.

"But all right." She added.

"And nervous? A bit. Scared? Not at all."

"Good." Rene said.

"Still feeling fine? No abnormalities or anything?" he asked.

"Nope." Lunet replied.

"Excellent." Rene said.

They were waiting for about 5 minutes, before there was a knock on the door.

"It's me." Leo said from the other side of it.

"Enter." Rene told him, which he did, making his way to Lunet.

"Hey there, Leo." Lunet greeted.

"How confident are you about the success of this whole thing?" She asked, ehr voice curious.

"Because you'd know far better than I."

Leo was silent for a moment.

"VERY confident." he said.

"How confident is 'VERY' confident?" Ty asked suspiciously.

"I'm quite sure this will wor-" Leo started to say, before Rene interjected.

"Numbers, Leo." he said. "Give a ballpark percentage on how sure you are that Lunet will be able to see, after all the time she's waited, all the updates she's received, the surgery she went through, the recovery, the nervousness..." he listed off. "The very least you can do is put everything on the table, and leave NO ambiguity." he stressed.

"..." Leo then just sighed.

"I am 85% sure this will work." he told them.

"And by that, I mean there is an 85% chance this will work beautifully, and a 15% chance it won't work at all." he clarified. "Normally there's gradients for how WELL it will work, but mana tends to mitigate that risk into being negligible when it comes to being integrated with technology." he explained.

Lunet nodded.

"Good to know." She commented.

"I suppose all we can do now, is just test it." She added after a couple of seconds.

"Indeed." Leo replied.

He then set the briefcase he had down on Rene's desk and opened it, revealing a rather sleek-looking visor, fitted for Lunet's head.

"All right..." Leo mumbled.

"Lunet, here you go." he told her, placing the visor in her hands carefully, so that she was holding it in such a way she could easily put it on. "Slip it on and wait until you 'feel' the connection, and... well... it should start working." he said further.

He then took a step back, and bit his lip, crossing his fingers on both his hands.

"Oh. Uhh... Ok." Lunet said as she accepted the visor. She'd thought he would do the first, simply because of the fact that she knew it was something new and all. She also didn't know HOW it would 'connect', either.

She put the visor on, fumbling massively with finding the connection for the first time while blind and with zero guidance. It took her about five minutes before she *finally* figured it out.

"Any last minute warnings?" She asked, her voice curious as she sought out the power button.

Leo looked ashamed. He should have known she'd have trouble. But he had just handed it to her like that.

He was silent and looked away from her.

"No." he said.

"You'll feel a shock when it turns on." he then added.

"Power button's on the left side." he finished, as he started getting ready to leave.
