"Rambo?" Oh, wait, the movie, right. He had forgotten that the pictures and sounds were associated with a plot and a title. Man, how had he forgotten Rambo, of all things? "Oh. Okay."
There wasn't a great deal of time remaining in the movie - not that Lucas could focus on more than the most superficial of elements anyway, completely missing the majority of the dialogue - yet by the time the credits were rolling, he had nearly fallen asleep once more. Merry chimed to gain his attention, and he blinked in response.

When the movie ended - which he was barely even watching anyway, since he'd almost fallen asleep again - and Merry chimed at the scared man, Claire rose and stretched a bit. Arceus, she was tired. "Alright, want to go back to your room now? You look like you're about to fall asleep." Which was exactly what she wanted to do, too.. Mmm, sleep...

"Wha?" He blinked again, allowing his vision to come into focus, as slow a process as it was. "Sure." He moved a bit on the couch, repositioning himself several times in preparation to stand. When he finally managed to rise to his feet, he staggered forward a step, steadied by Merry's quick catch on his arm. Expectant blue eyes settled on Claire, apparently having forgotten either where they were going or how they were going to get there.

As he stood she was ready also, and quickly took hold of his arm to help steady him and to lead him toward the door. The way he looked at her, as if he had no idea where they were going when she'd just said it, made a sick feeling churn in the pit of her stomach. How long would he be like this..? Oh well, that wasn't something she could think about now so she pushed the thought aside and opened the rec room door, leading him out into the hall and heading towards his room. "How are you feeling, Lucas?"

His reply was less than timely; in fact, by the time he did reply, Claire might have been questioning whether or not he had heard to begin with, "Fine." He had a dull throb of a headache from moving around so much, flecks of light danced in his vision, and he felt as though he was sloshing through mud to his knees. "I'm fine."

His extremely late reply worried her, so she gently lifted his arm over her shoulders before slipping her own arm around his waist. Just in case. "Are you sure?" She asked, concern evident in her voice as she paused in front of the elevators to push the top button. The doors dinged and slid open, so she led him inside and pushed the button for the second floor, then leaned against the back wall with Lucas strategically in the corner. If he fell or something here, or started swaying even, at least there would be two walls right there he could lean on.

He barely noticed the contact, though he was grateful that it was suddenly so much easier to move. "Mmm." He leaned into the corner, staring at the opposite wall with an empty gaze. Wait, hadn't he been asked a question? Oh well. It couldn't be too important, right?

The fact he couldn't even answer a question - or had that 'mm' been an answer? She really wasn't sure - was even more disconcerting than responding late. When the elevator doors slid open again with yet another ding, she led him out and helped him towards his room once again. At least is wasn't very far...
Within a minute or two they arrived at his door which she hastily opened, not bothering to see if Alba was in or not, and led him in towards his bed. "Here you go, Lucas, lay down and get some rest." Arceus, he was acting like an effing zombie or something..

He collapsed onto the bed with a shudder and a sound between a sigh and a groan. He opened his mouth to thank her, unaware that the word didn't actually form on his voice. Merry took a place beside him, gazing up at Claire worriedly, as if in search of some reassurance.

His behavior worried her more and more, so she hardly registered the fact she was helping him onto the bed, moving his legs onto it and positioning a pillow under his head. It just sort of... happened. She attempted to offer Merry a reassuring smile, though it was more concerned than anything else. "He'll be fine," she said, though whether to reassure the Chimecho or herself was anybody's guess. "Everything will be fine. I.. I should go to bed too," she said with a frown, though didn't move. She didn't want to go, didn't want to leave him alone like this when Alba wasn't even around. Something, anything.. "Oh, Merry - is there a blanket around here somewhere?" Lucas could get cold, they should at least cover him up or something.

Merry nodded, moving towards the floor at the end of the bed and lifting a fallen blanket. She next moved to drape it over her unconscious human, spreading it as best she could and hoping that Claire would make up for her haphazard attempt.

Oh, why hadn't she noticed that before? Oh well. As soon as Merry lifted it, Claire quickly grabbed the other end and assisted the Chimecho in covering Lucas, carefully smoothing out the edges to make sure everything was covered. Well, at least up until around his shoulders, anyway. "There," she said, placing her hands on her hips to study the sleeping, concussed man for another moment or two. ...crap, now she could go. "Um," she bit her bottom lip, brows arching slightly in a concerned expression, "maybe I should stay until Alba gets back.. Do you think I should?" The question was obviously directed at Merry, since she was the only one Claire could ask.

Merry breathed a small jingle of a sigh and moved to wrap her tail around Claire's wrist and pull her towards the door. She needed rest just as much as Lucas did, and Merry wouldn't stand for it if the woman wound up sick or something from worrying too much.
"Chi-chime." She glared at Claire with slightly admonishing eyes, encouraging her to leave and get some rest for herself.

Ohh... This was sort of disappointing actually, as well as mildly amusing - a Chimecho was telling her to go to bed. "Alright," she sighed, relenting and moving towards the door of her own accord, "I'll go to bed. Night Merry, I know you'll take good care of Lucas." She'd been with him long enough, so she had no doubt the Chimecho would do everything in her power for him.
