Melvin had woken up after a very short nap, and was informed by a tech that he needed to leave and let the other trainees us the chair he had taken. Too tired to be embarrassed, he managed to get up the steps, through the portal, and that was pretty much the most he could do unassisted. The rest of his slow progress was made leaning against walls and other more stable objects as he made his way out of the main lab area.
He wasn't even out of the building, let alone what he would do once he left the building to get to the dorms, when he just laid there against the wall, wondering if he will the power of a cow to sleep while standing.

After some time Rin eventually started down the hall Melvin was in and wandered right past him. Her footsteps were growing soft... distant... then suddennly a flurry as she rushed back to stare at him, "Melvin? Are you okay? What the ******** man?"

Just as Rin walked past him without noticing, Melvin hadn't noticed either. So when Rin came, it seemed she had just rushed to his side, and he wondered if he called her. Did he call her? Where was his phone? Oh, he was wearing his jacket still. It was a nice jacket. Warm - like a blanket.
Rin was staring at him, and he registered her being there again.
"Hey, Rin. Nothin's wrong. Just..." He patted the wall he was leaning against. " 'ppreciating this wall." He wondered about how he could get to the dorm.
"Hey, do you have a chair?"

Rin gave him a suspicious look before holding up a hand with three fingers, "Melvin. How many fingers am I holding up?"

Oh s**t. Math problems. He could barely focus on the Jenga tower, and now she was holding up fingers.
Saliva, how many is she holding up?
How should I know? I'm using YOUR eyes.
I thought you could see!
I'm either a gun or a pen. Pens don't have eyes....unless you are a pen snake.
What? Do we have those? Melvin was now worried about pen snakes, but then noticed Rin was still here holding her fingers. What were they doing?
How many fingers is she holding up?
Rightttt.
He squinted before reaching out with both hands and holding her wrist, then, taking one hand, he pressed it against her own raised hand and rose as many fingers as she had until they matched. Separated them, he them counted, and then held up 3 fingers. "Thrreee?"

"That's it," Rin snapped and grabbed Melvin by the wrist and started walking off with him, "You're going to the infirmary, something is clearly off with you."

Melvin nearly fell forward by the force by which she was dragging him, which wasn't much but felt much more when he could barely stand, and he pushed at her a moment to try to get her to stop. "No! I'm okay. I was playing Jenga for forever." He called out. They passed a fountain, and Melvin reached out to let his hand grip the side to stop her. "I just want to go to bedddd." There were people like Otto and Lance in the infirmary!

Rin rolled her eyes before turning to Melvin and attempting to scoop him up in her arms to see if that would dislodge him from the fountain and keep him from being able to try dead weight if this was how he was going to be. Rin was ******** strong for her size, ok, "Fine, but I'm going to ******** carry you like you're five."

Melvin was clinging to the fountain like a cat not wanting to go take a bath, solving his problem of being made to go in one direction. What he didn't account for was being lifted, and he thought he was falling and had gotten dizzy before he realized Rin was holding him. "I'm not five!" He tried to get a safe grip to keep him from falling out, but he wasn't for being carried either. There were guys here, and he was trying to keep a good social standing that wasn't just the new guy.
"Five-year-olds are not carried like this! I have a brother." And his brother had liked piggy backs. Melvin thought this in some way helped his situation.
"I can make it. I just need a chair." Then he could old-man walker his way from the labs to the dorms. He was sure it would work.

"Nope," Rin was telling you Melvin. Not asking. "And quit squirming. Do you want me to drop you on your ******** druggy head?"

"Exactly so behave," She attempted to shift him in her arms. God he was so much heavier than he looked. Once she was sure she had a good hold she started down the hall towards the labs exit. Anyone they passed pausing to make funny looks and mutter softly amongst themselves. Apparently a few people won a few bets this evening.

The looks only had him hunching, before he just reached back and was reminded that his jacket did not have a hood. Frowning, he just tried to be as unnoticeable as a man could be that was being carried by a woman.
The lab techs were never going to let this one go.

Rin on the other hand didn't seem to give a ******** as she shoved the door open to the labs with her foot and marched outside towards the dorms. It took her a while to reach them and there were plenty more stares along the way. Thankfully it was pretty deserted in the halls of the dorms and especially so the closer she got to Melvin's room.

While Rin carried the sack of potatoes that was Melvin, the life trainee has something more pressing to concentrate.
I hate when they do this.
What? The Life techs?
No. Shampoo companies.
What?!
It's not floral. It's something else. I could have sworn it was Head and Shoulders. It was driving him crazy. What the hell was it?
Is this really important? Why are you thinking about shampoo. You have a billion already!
Not for me. Rin's. I can't pinpoint it. I know it. It's right there.
You have got to be kidding me.
Right? I should know this one. Damn. I know it, I just can't think of the name.
He was too engrossed that he only noticed they were here when he noticed his hallway. "Uh, I can stand now?" He was reaching into his pocket for his keys.
