[ It's been a while since Jaime had woken up, but he still doesn't feel like he's recovered in full. It's not that he feels terribly traumatized by it - though a part of him does, because wow - but it had just felt so real that real life seems hazy in comparison. He's still getting back into his daily routine, but he finds himself distracted every now and then, drawing inwards in thought.

He had been asleep for a lot longer than he'd been when Lucifer pulled his stunt, after all. While he's distracted, idly watching BB on the porch, coffee mug cradled between his palms, BB decides to go on a little journey next door, squirming through the hole underneath the fence between his house and Kotetsu's, and Jaime gets up, swearing mildly underneath his breath, if aw hell counts as a swear.

(It does to Jaime.)

Instead of going around, he climbs the fence to chase after BB, yelling, ]
BB, you bad dog! Get back here!

[ He shouldn't have been so distracted, but BB should also be, you know, not a little shit. It all evens out. ]

[Kotetsu, meanwhile, had been lucky enough to avoid the sleep plague altogether -- though from what he'd heard about it, it was far from the peaceful, restful environment an extended nap should be.

It's enough to put Kotetsu off of naps for a little while, at least, even as people start to wake up and rejoin the waking world properly; instead, he's heading out for a mid-morning Saturday walk, perhaps with a BuckStars coffee en route, when a certain little dog scoots on into his yard and snuffles around his shoes, which just so happen to have the smell of spilled soy sauce on the laces due to a Fried Rice Incident the previous evening.

Nonetheless, Kotetsu laughs, kneeling down to give the canine escapee a good scratch behind the ears just as the fence starts rustling from the presence of teenage boy climbing it. He pauses in his scratching (much to BB's disappointment) to address said boy on his way down:]


--Hey, careful, there's a loose link on there a couple inches down.

[...what, look, he can't help it okay. even if he knows Jaime is protected by the self-healing robot AI in his spine.]
