As Random finishes his Sunrise, deciding what exactly to do next, he takes a look around the bar . . .

// . . . Who?// It's a multiverse, you know.

"Just until she gets back with a bucket." He gives her arm a small rub. "It'll be alright."

She gives the ghost of a nod and tries to stop the weeping, but she's shaking.

//His name was Red Alert.// Blue comes back with the bucket and a pain override tab. //She's focused on you. Do you want to keep on interacting with her so there's less chance of her getting overwhelmed?//

He starts giving her arm small, rhythmic rubs in an effort to help her calm down.

// . . . *something about being glad Blue and Keg are less paranoid* . . . Um, yeah, that might be best, yeah.//

[random_xtras]

//My boss wasn't paranoid. That seems to have been something that happened after his alternates got to Earth.// Blue watches her friend with a concerned frown as she offers the things to Random.

Arcee, in the meantime, starts intaking air slowly, her attitude saying that she's glad for the touch and that it's helping.

With one hand he somehow maintains the rubs since that seems to be helping and accepts the bucket with the other.

//From what--// he cuts off when he notices the tab with a confused look. //What's that?//

Despite the sudden distraction, the rubbing doesn't stop.

[random_xtras]

//It'll relieve her pain.// Blue glances downward as she checks with Keg, then turns her attention back to Random.

The expression on his face and a general lack of change in position says that that wasn't enough of an answer to tell him what exactly he was suppose to do with it.

[random_xtras]

//You touch the pointy end to her neck or the back of her hand and squeeze it.//

Arcee flickers toward stasis, but then has some sort of dream/flashback something and sits bolt upright in a panic.

Not a good idea. >_< -_-

// . . . Oh.// Keeping up the rubbing, he moves to put down the bucket so he get the painkiller.

The sudden movement startles him before can do so, however, and he cancels his earlier action in favor of grasping onto Arcee's shoulder to keep her up and holding bucket near her in case of a purge.
