Nobody's POV

Alastor was shaking as she folded up the letter and put it back.

'What was it?'

'Oh, just junk mail. You know how those business people like sending me their silly little pamphlets.'

'Hmm.'

Alastor looked at the note blankly for a second before tucking it in her jacket. Rosie grabbed her hand.

'Are you sure you're feeling alright Alastor?'

Lucifer looked away guiltily. He had known what would happen if Alastor wasn't sedated. He knew it was only a matter of time before she...

'Of course Rosie!'

'Uh... Rosie? Yes, Rosie! can I borrow you for a second? Again?'

Rosie looked at him suspiciously. 'Yes, just follow me.' As soon as they walked into the spare room, Rosie turned on him.

'What happened? Is it something about Alastor?'

'Yes. So, one thing I forgot to mention was a side effect of keeping him awake.' Rosie's eyes narrowed.

'So, the energy in his stomach would have acted as a bit of a dopamine boost for him. So cutting it off cold turkey...'

'Oh my god she's going to get so depressed...'

'Exactly. So, I'm going to kind of stick with him a bit-'

'Her.' Rosie corrected.

'What?'

'Stick with her.' 

'Wait. Is Alastor a girl?'

'A cis woman, yes.'

'O-oh! That's cool, I'm not transphobic or anything, that's fine-!'

'Continue.' Rosie said calmly, looking down at the shorter man.

'R-right! So I'll stick with hi- her, for a while. Just to be there in case she tries anything... uh... drastic.'

'I-is that likely?'

'Well, it depends on her mental state during the dopamine high, but-'

'Oh yeah she's going to die.'

'That bad, huh?'

Rosie nodded. 'We'd better get back to the others.'

Lucifer nodded affirmingly and walked outside, to where Charlie and Alastor were talking. They looked up as Lucifer and Rosie walked in, both of them looking at Alastor. She shifted under their gaze.

'Hey Alastor. So, we know that having Lucifer fix that wound was tough on you,' Alastor shivered at the memory, 'so, depending on whether Charlie agrees, we are going to assign Lucifer to keep an eye on you. He has already agreed.'

'Absolutely not. I will not have this- this flamboyant pineapple taking care  of me like some invalid.' Alastor spluttered.

'Well, I think it's a good idea-'

'Charlie! You traitor!'

'Alastor, just shut up for a second, will you?' Charlie said, frustrated. Alastor closed her mouth.
