i'm going to ask you a straightforward question:

Who: Yukio Okumura and Herbert West
When: S2; D6
Where: Medical Tent
What: Yukio doesn't sleep much, but he's noticed his boss doesn't sleep at all.
Warnings: IV stimulant drug use/addiction, underage drug use, all that Herbert Reanimator stuff

Yukio had finished up his work late last night, the sort of late that's the same as "early this morning", and then taken his bow to the training yard for an hour or so of practice before collapsing into his bed somewhere just before two in the morning. By six thirty, he's back in the medical tent, carrying a refilled thermos of coffee in one hand and a full cup of coffee in the other.

The lights are still on. They'd been on when he left, and there's no sign that West has left the tent at all since then.

Yukio doesn't particularly want to check in on the man, but he pushes aside the curtains to West's improvised office and looks in without announcing himself. If West is sleeping, he doesn't really want to disturb the man.

It's hard to rank things, when he ends up barely noticing them. But he does find himself wanting to boast somehow about his work. So...

"Various concussions and fairly severe asphyxiation," he decides on. "Or...I have reason to believe the incidents would have manifested as, concussion had I not been injecting my serum. Based on my previous experiments, at higher dosages a complete spinal cord does not appear to be required for normal bodily function."

"Hm," Herbert goes and eyes up Yukio. It's almost hard to concentrate he's so thrilled. This is wordless acceptance of his work as far as he's concerned. It could just be Yukio using him, certainly, but...

"I inject 5ccs of a 1% solution and I've informed you of all of the effects...save some fairly, severe symptoms upon abrupt discontinuation. They're not dissimilar to that of, SSRI withdrawal. I believe."
