[ ugh. Childe makes an uh huh at Aether's attempt to cover himself but otherwise doesn't push it. Instead he sneers in clear disdain for the announced time frame. Unfortunately, he knows he can't do anything about it. ]

Great... [ so he doesn't even get to spend the two days with Aether, but he'll be stuck with nurses. Not surprising, but also very much not what Childe wants. Without looking at Aether, he immediately responds to needing something. ]

I need to call my boss. [ not his family or his friends to let them know... no, just his boss. ]

Also ... I don't want any visitors. If someone shows up asking for me, just kick them out. If they keep insisting, call the cops.
