“Oh, right, those.” He pulled the bottle from his back pocket and gently shook it. “Funny how these were supposed to last you a week and yet here we are. Day, oh, what is it now? Day four and you’re down to two.” He raised a brow as of challenging the other to come up with some grand excuse. “It’s like you’re eating these for breakfast lunch and dinner. You aren’t even supposed to be taking two at a time and yet that’s all I can assume you’ve been doing.” He opened the bottle and took out one pill, but he didn’t hand that over either. Instead, he managed to break that one in half and passed it to Alex. “These are strong, there’s no reason you need to be taking so many. I’m holding on to them for now.” He shrugged as if that was the end of that and stuck the bottle back into his back pocket.<br/><br/>He smiled softly as he looked at the others pouting face and gently shook his head. “If you don’t like me you can try and replace me, but anyone else is just going to give you what you want. Believe it or not, I’m actually trying to help.” He didn’t hold back much but he knew sugar coating things wasn’t what Alex needed right now.<br/><br/>“Anyways, eat up. I’ll help you into the shower after and I’ll be out of your hair for a bit.” He had to make a few appointments for the other anyway and then clean and plan that nights dinner. “I called in a refill. We can take a trip into town and get some fresh air in you. That and get a little shopping down. I’m thinking salmon tonight? What about you?” He was still chipper, but maybe that was more so to bug Alex a bit more than anything else.
