She narrowed her eyes lightly...she didn't like to be reminded of that after all, that she more or less had turtle syndrome... "I'm managing perfectly well on my own...besides, they have thier own things to do and lives to attend too...I can't expect everyone to drop everything for me."
And then he called Lillia. Damn it. She appreciated his concern, but still. "I came with them...I just choose not to use them...and now you've pulled her away from what she was doing." A look to Lillia as she came upon them. "Sorry if he yanked you from something important."

"Miss stubborn left her crutches behind, against doctor's orders. I was wondering if you coudl retrieve them, or at least ecort her back to them."
A slight grin at Jelena.
"since I have something else to look at here. I need to see what Cerebus here has been hoarding in her cave, and hopefully she won't eat me for trying."

Lilia just shrugged. "Nothing really important just trying to get some preliminary computer graphics done for my thesis. You know explaining cell growth and division and the processes that vary from cell to cell in a test echo as opposed to another. Mitosis and meiosis, things like that. Fascinating stuff really, I'm glad I finally found something to do the silly paper on."
Her blue gaze roved the room until they stopped on the pair of crutches leaning against the doorway to the labs. And James couldn't get them himself. "Jelly I would love to give you a choice, but quite frankly it's much easier if I just do this." And she crossed the room grabbed the crutches and walked the twenty steps back to the two standing there.
"Here you are." she said cheerfully. "Dr. Camp has your best interests at heart Jelly and he really needs you to use those. Don't make life more difficult for yourself, okay?"

"Your thesis isn't just something to shrug at." Though it was a good drinking excuse when you were done with the damn thing. But one of those irritated sighs from her as they both took to harping on her about it...and she was still quite sensitive about it all. "I hope she eats you..." Said just because she was pissy, not because she really meant it.
But with a sigh and a mumbled begruding thank you to Lillia she took the offending objects, letting them once again help support her in a standing position. Hated this so much. "Can't stay on them forever..." But she was kind of stuck with em until she learned her balance, which was harder than one may of thought, or until Camp came up with something.

James didn't think the crutches were a good idea mostly becuae your center of balance was different when on crutches then when not on them. he would have prefered an assigned escort. But while the massive puppy was distracted with Lillia's presence, barking nad jumping up on the door for more pets an dmaybe treats...all the echoes knew lillia almost always had treats by now...James was working his way up and back to the den she'd claimed, to see what she was hoarding in there.

"Yeah I know, but shrugging keeps me from crying or breaking out in raucous laughter which I think would scare people more than if I burst into tears." Stupid thesis, and she wasn't even half done with it.
Lillia monitored Jelena for a moment making sure she was settled on her crutches then looked over to the barking puppy. A shake of her head, "They're going to tell me I'm spoiling you." But she walked over and obliged the Cerberus, handing over nutritional treats, specially formulated to keep her healthy and gave each of those heads a pet, after all, jealousy was easily cultivated and that wasn't a good thing to encourage.
"Are you doing any better Jelly? I know it's hard but it looks like you're getting along just fine..."

Jelena shook her head...these two and echoes. Sometimes she thought that they were more into this than she was. But her attention went back to monitoring where James was and how distracted a three headed over sized puppy was being. Wouldn't need James maimed now would they? But a look to Lillia. "Well...I can walk...funny and slow, but I can do it. It's like riding a bike you know...if you keep going and wobble a little and hold tight to the handle bars then you get your balance...but stop and not put your feet down and you fall over. I'm still working at it..."

Treats! they were scarfed down, which left slobber on Lillia's hands, until one head looked around, and found james gone. where's daddy? and down from the door, two heads sniffing the ground, one sniffing the air. then they caught the scent on off into the enclosure, all three heads howling nad barking at various intervals, sounding more like a pack of dogs then one animal.
James got to her little cave, and took a look inside. oh dear lord. she was pulling metal tubes or bars free of the walls, and hoarding her bones from tbone meals given to her in leiu of hunting...then crash and slam, the massive puppy found him, and slammed her weight into him.
"Son of a b***h!"
Crash, bang, barking, howling, and a large crash through brush and a heavy thud. She'd defended her hoard, slamming him back off the rocky outcrop, down teh hill, dog heads snapping and being overly playful right now, until the both hit the ground, dog on top, standing on his and howling her victory and licking and back to gnawing on the metal arm.

"Good, good. You'll get it Jelly, just takes time and determination and you have both. At least you have what you love most close to you." A hand gesture to accompany that though she could be speaking of either the Echoes themselves or James.
Of course a frantically happy puppy and loud crashes and bangs stole her attention back. "No cursing in front of the baby James!" Honestly, that puppy didn't need to hear those words, she might repeat them in her own language. Crude words really.
A hand was slapped over her mouth to keep the giggles contained though a few escaped. "Aw look they're playing..." Except playtime was very different with a dog with three heads...not to mention her size. This could be interesting indeed. "Need some help there James?" she asked sweetly.

She would of been concerned...had that Echo not recognize James as her other main parental figure, the 'pack leader' if you will, and if she had been more agressive as well. But she was still a pup, just with a lot of punch to her actions...and when she did gnaw she at least chose the shiny arm. "You know James...you shouldn't let her do that...it's bad for her teeth and for your bioware as well."
A look back to Lillia. "I suppose I would get more forced practice in if I wasn't being put back to my crutches by all you people." Though said in a way that didn't make it sound like such a bad thing...after all she knew they only did it because they cared.

"I got fivehundred pounds of muscular canine on top of me. it's not like I can move much right now to stop her. oh and I got a look in her little cubby hole. she's hoarding shiny metal piping she's ripped free and tbone steak bones I think she's using as chewtoys. Come on, get off me.."
Trying to shove the big puppy off, which she took as a game, and started headbutting him back down when he woudl try to get into a sitting position at least. her little nub of a tail not wagging enough, her whole back end wagging back and forth, one head pantings, the other trying to pry Jame's bioware free to hoard, and the third just sniffing around him head and licking him.

Jelena got a simple shrug, "Doctors orders. Camp gives them, we make you follow them to the letter. It's for your own good after all."
It was a rather cute sight really, seeing James and the little Cerberus playing around. She did have to wonder about something though. "Shiny metal piping...she has to be getting that from around her enclosure, right? Is she pulling anything that could cause harmful events to occur? I mean if it's just pieces of a random thing that's not a big deal, but if it's something important like the covering to the energy lines or something like that, it could be a potentially bad situation."

"Yes that would be a problem indeed. Shiny metal piping...could indeed be the wire coverings...or layers of these cross bars." A look into the enclosure at James and his puppy. "James, when you do manage yourself up, I need you to put her in a holding enclosure. Or I'm going to be darting her and dragging her off to one. Need to check that enclosure..." No, not good at all. A loose echo could cause serious problems...and piss Noris off.

James pried his arm from one head, and pushed back on the middle head.
"Get off me you big thing."
The aggressive head took that as something bad, and snarled, snapped her jaws on that hand, which of course was detachable, and came right off, and then the pup was gone, bolted off with James' bioware hand to hoard.
"Today has just not been my day with her."
before getting himself up, dusting off his pants with his remaining hand, and then giving a nod to Jelena and heading after the pup.
"This is gunna be fun..."

"Darting her would be easier but watching him chase her is much more fun," Lillia chuckled shaking her head. James was definitely going to have quite the time catching the rambunctious puppy now wasn't he? But a glance back at Jelly, "You sure you're okay?" She nibbled on her bottom lip and thought about it for a moment. "If you want, I can let you lean on me and then you won't need the crutches..."
