Fox had walked wide-eyed through the school, one hand traveling toward his mouth where he sucked lightly on his fingertips. The building was huge, both inside and out, and there were people he wasn't even sure were people. He thought he'd seen one with slitted eyes like a cat, but maybe he'd imagined it. He liked to imagine things were different.

It had been some serious deja vu taking the trip to the hospital wing, though it was punctuated by awkwardness at how his companion acted. Though his tattoos and piercings may say something different, Sean preferred not to draw too much attention to himself. "The healer's great, I swear," he said, all but copying things he had said the day before. "And please take your hand out of your mouth."

He hesitated, then pulled his hand slowly down, letting it dangle at his side. He paid no attention to the glisten of saliva there. He was still afraid that he'd find his father inside, or that whatever the healer-doctor thought was wrong with him would make the man call his house.
"Will you stay with me, Sean?" he asked. "I'm scared."

Sean hesitated. Sometimes he wished he'd involved his older brother in his first therapy sessions, or a close friend. It had been incredibly difficult to start going and he'd barely spoken during his first meeting with a school counselor, and even when he'd spoken he never looked away from his knees. "Yeah," he said. "Yeah, I'll stay with you. Don't be scared."

He brought their clasped hands up to his cheek in a sort of partial hug. "Thank you," he said. He went willingly, his fears much put to rest just with those few words from Sean. The hospital was huge too, but it didn't look like any hospital he'd ever been in. Everything wasn't bright colors and the floors weren't shiny. It didn't smell like medicine and old people, and he didn't see a desk with a little window or a bunch of chairs with a tv in the corner. For a moment, he was distracted enough to forget just why they were here. "Whoah," he breathed.

Tempest quit his office at the sound of a bell ringing. He was relieved to find that no one was actively bleeding and no one seemed to be in a panic. He'd had enough of that for now. Incoming freshmen were careless, stupid, and just skilled enough with their wands to get themselves seriously injured.
"A split lip, is it?" he asked as he approached. Freshmen. They were the only ones who ever cared about such minor injuries.

Sean slipped his hand from Fox's as the healer approached. "Could I ah...talk to you for a moment?" he asked. He'd visited the hospital wing a couple of times and hoped his request wouldn't be ignored. It would be good to be able to talk about what had happened just enough out of earshot to avoid any further sudden changes.

"Of course," Tempest said. "Have a seat," he told the other one, and gestured to a squashy armchair nearby. There was a coffee table with magazines littered across it as well. He blinked at the sudden look of confusion, and maybe fear, in the young man's eyes. "Maybe I ought to show you to a bed. Come along."
It wasn't until he'd sat the blonde on a bed and patched up his lip that he stepped outside the curtained area. It was a quick job, and he didn't so much as bother taking names. "What might I help you with?" he asked.

"So I met him in the library yesterday and he said his name was Ezra. We made plans to go out, but he had a migraine and I told him how to get here, and today he sent me an owl saying to meet his brother, instead," Sean said, the words pouring out. "So I meet this guy who looks exactly like him, but he says his name's Destiel and he's Ezra's twin brother.
"And this morning, I wake up and the guy says his name's River and acts like he's got no idea who I am. Now he says he's some five year old named Fox. I didn't know what to do! I couldn't leave him, you know?" This had been his best guess on appropriate places to bring someone who's insane.

Tempest's brows had drawn together in concern, and now he nodded. The young man had looked familiar, but then, he'd seen so many students that a large part of them looked familiar by now. "If he was here yesterday I'll find out who he is soon enough," he said. "You did the right thing bringing him here."
He looked over the young man in front of him, and let his natural charm expand a bit. "Do you need a calming potion?" he asked gently. "Would you like to sit down?"

"That'd be nice, both of them," Sean said. As far as he knew, a calming potion didn't react with the potion he already took daily, so it sounded even more appealing. "At...at one point he was angry. Like throw a table across the room angry, so be careful." He didn't want Tempest to be surprised by a change, and giving a warning let him feel at least partially in control.

Tempest nodded lightly and made a mental note of that. He flicked his wand and gestured toward another curtained-off area as a calming potion made its way toward them. "Drink all of this," he advised. "Is it all right if I ask you some questions?"

"Yeah, go ahead," Sean said as he took the potion. It didn't take him long to down a potion. Once the vial was empty, he shifted it between his fingers, unwilling to give away a release of energy he needed so badly. "I'm just confused, do you know what's going on?" He finally looked up at Tempest, eyebrows relaxing as the potion took effect.

"I have several ideas, but can't make any kind of diagnosis at this point," Tempest said. He'd hardly seen the other young man, though he'd certainly spend quite a bit of time with him later. He drew his wand in a line over the small bedside table and pulled up a stool. He picked up the notebook which had appeared, as well as the quill, and began his questions. - Have either of you, to your knowledge, used any recreational drugs?
- Were the two of you intimate last night?
- Do you need access to condoms or potions?
The list went on, and it was probing, but Tempest used every advantage to keep the young man willing to speak. He asked for more detail about the names he'd been given, the attitudes, moods, and behaviors he'd seen, and anything else that seemed important.

Sean answered as well as he could. Honestly, it felt much like his first few counselor and therapists visits, which made it easier to handle. Without the calming potion, he was sure he would not have been able to answer as much as he had, but was glad to help. "Will you be able to help him?" he asked during a lull. It might have been the end of the questions, he wasn't sure, just knowing the answer would be nice.
