James watched hm as he cried, and thought over this. This boy looks upset mentally, he thought. he thought of consoling him, but thought the better of it. Consoling him might do more harm than good, and he certainly didn't want that to happen.

The wounds would heal if he could rest for next 2 hours - the ones where he had applied cream. if they were healed, at least - half of his wounds might be washed off, and Kai would definitely feel a little better after that. He frowned, thinking of what he could do to make him stay still for 2 hours, and not hurt himself. He suddenly thought of sleeping tablets - that would do him good. He could sleep and have a rest, as well as heal his wounds. He thought over it again and thought it was a good idea. he looked again at Kai crying, patted him slightly and then went to the kitchen, to get Linda’s opinion and permission.

Linda heard a knock, and turned to see who it was, her long untied hair sweeping over her shoulders. She brushed it back and went to the door, and opened - and saw Dr. James standing outside. She glanced at him and then at the couch, to see Kai curled up in the couch, and then glanced at James again and saw that his face showed peace and content, and knew that nothing, or at least, not much have gone wrong. The doctor spoke before she could open her mouth to speak, to ask what was the matter and whether Kai was alright.

"Um.. Linda, can i talk to you for a minute?"Linda heard him ask and nodded, and let him in, and she saw James sitting on one of the chairs as she turned back. She was now a little frightened, she didn't know what had happened to Kai, and asked in a note of worry and panic. "What is it, James? Is anything wrong with Kai?" James smiled. "Nothing much wrong, Linda - but he's got mental stress and needs to rest, and i have applied wounds over the visible marks, bad things, I must say." James continued with haste without stopping, for he knew that Linda might start asking him a thousand questions if he didn't, or start sobbing or shouting. Linda was strange and he didn't know what she would do. So he quickly explained the situation and what he thought about the sleeping drop, and was glad to see that Linda agreed. He went into the living room again, with Linda a little way back, following his lead, and looked at Kai, to see whether he would respond, and said again in his soothing voice - "Kai, are you alright?"
