Welcome to Gaia! ::

Ami had been evasive to put it mildly. He'd been keeping an eye out for her, but for several nights he'd not seen her go anywhere close to the dorms. After their first talk he had hoped she'd take better care of herself, but no, a quick few questions to one of the techs told him that no, she'd been sleeping in the labs.

On that particular night, they had drawn on her face, which was great really. Going into said lab, Ami was fast asleep, on her face drawn on eyes, a smile, a beard- all very nice, and luck, given the lack of penises or 'So-and-so was here'. Marcus had a growing hate for such messages. Still, pulling up a chair, he lifted up the chair then set it down with rather loud bang before siting down.

"Rise and Shine Ami." He was looking forward to the reaction to her face.

It didn't work. Sighing he looked for something else to try. A tap on his chin he went over to the sink, setting the water to cold. A paper cup, filled was soon hovering over her head.

"I said wake up Ami." Cold water dump go.

He snorted back the laugh, the black smearing on her face. "here, let me help you." Going over to the wink he wet a paper towel, carrying it back over slightly damn. "they drew on your face this time. I warned you." He tried at least, not his fault if no one listened to him. Sighing heavily he sat back down in his chair.

"So, how long has this been a thing since our talk?"

He rolled his eyes. This girl... "Sleeping the labs Ami. How long have you been doing it since we talked?" He removed the now black stained towel. Tossing it in the trash he got up to get another. Her hands had ink on them and last thing she needed was to leave Ami hand prints on everything. Yanking the paper towel free he ran it under the water, ringing it out so it wasn't soaking. Walking back he offered it to her.

"I told you, I don't exactly approve of it."

Too bad Ami, Marcus was going to mother you. Sort of anyway. Sighing heavily, he pointed by her ear. "Missed a spot." He cared in his own way, and this was just how he showed it. "And I am not little. I'm taller and bigger than you Ami." He had heard that. "But scars or not, you're not taking care of yourself. I'm a moon hunter, taking care of people is what we do."

Cue an eye roll. "If being big or tall made me more of a person someone clearly forgot to tell a select few. Don't take everything so seriously. I did once. It ended badly." Very badly at that. "Anyway, you sure you trust Life with your life? They do research and development sure, they also head the infirmary but for extended care? That's moon division."

He motioned over to the general direction of the wing with current patients. "But if you're fine, why did I just now find you on the desk, dead asleep?"

He hit things when he was angry yes, but that wasn't it, not completely. He would go to Cass, wrap himself in her company and just enjoy being with her. Sadly, that option was out for Ami. There would be no one there to hold her or kiss away fears of loneliness. It was a hard thing to do in his opinion, be without someone. Then again, he'd done it for several years and had only known what it was like to be happy in the last one.

"Alright, so while I hit things you work. And looking back- telling you to just get over it was kind of dickish of me so-" he sighed, "-sorry about that. But Ami the thing is I can't. You're working yourself to the bone, I saw your face on that mission. You had hardly any sleep and the bags under your eyes were pretty visible."

He tapped his hand on the chair. "If you're trying that's good. But if I caught you asleep and now you want to get back to work- where do you think I'd prefer you headed?"

He gave Ami a deadpan look. No he wanted you to sleep in a barn. "Of course a bed. And yes, it matters. Unless you like writing on your face and kinks in your back." He picked up a pen waving it around, hey, he could use a bit of drawing practice.

Looking around the lab he didn't spy anything that could really make way for a bed. Aside from getting a bunch of chairs together anyway. "Well, ever consider going down to the infirmary and sleeping on one of the spare beds?" It was an option possibly. She might get a futon or plush chair at worst. "So long as they don't need the bed and you replace the sheets and covers and aren't doing it every night... don't see why not." Aside from moons and lifes in the labs still drawing on her face.

"Just... at the very least, every other day, go back and sleep in the dorms. The commons have a couch. And I mean sleep Ami, really sleep. None of that cat nap bullshit."
