Diana rushed into the room after hearing a heavy thud and... electrical sparks?
"Is everything alright...?" she trailed off a the sight of everything.

*Kris giggled in spite of herself. That tickled! But her mirth was short-lived.*
"Dr. Cuddy?" *she asked, confused.* "What's going on?"

"You're going to be fine," *she said, trying to keep her tone level.*

"But I saw... What was that?" *Kris asked, a note of panic rising in her voice.* "I'm a...a robot?"

"No...no...er...well...I'd really say you were more bionic than anything else."

*Kris's eyes narrowed.*
"Wasn't the Doctor in here before? Not you--I mean the other one, the hot guy called 'The Doctor.'"
*She finally noticed Rochester on the floor.*
"Um... Rochester?"

*A familiar voice pulled at Rochester in the darkness. His long lashes fluttered as he tried to push himself up. He was on the floor? That was strange. And he was a bit sore.*
“Kris? What happened?”
*His hand pressed against his head as he tried to clear his head.*

*He didn't remember! Her heart leaped. Maybe he didn't have to know!*
"Um. You passed out. Maybe the blood?"
Keep it together... keep it together... He won't know, and you'll be able to pretend...

*Rochester fanned himself with his handkerchief.*
"Perhaps you're right. I confess I'm terrible with it. Wait..."
*His eyes grew worried.*
"Oh Kris! Are you all right?"

*She nodded, tears pricking at the back of her eyes but not wanting to worry Rochester.*
"Yeah. I'm fine. I, er... had a bad reaction. To the wine. And then I cut myself when I fell, and you passed out. But I'm fine now."
*As long as she had someone else to worry about, she could stay calm.*

"Oh..."
*Rochester still looked a bit shaken, but he took her hands in his and kissed her fingertips.*
"I'm so glad that it was just me being ridiculous. I'm afraid I do do that from time to time.'

*Kris braved a smile, but it felt shaky.*
"We wouldn't have you any other way," *she said. She thought she might throw up. The sight of all those wires, plastics, things she didn't even know the purpose of...*
"Please... can we go home?"

*Rochester smiled back, but she didn't look too good. Maybe it was this place. It could have that affect on people. He nodded.*
"Of course we can. Get you home and straight to bed. I might even be forced to pamper you mercilessly until you're feeling 100% well again."
*He quickly signed her release papers and got her escorted to the carriage.*

"Thanks." *She offered him a small smile, all she could spare from the turmoil inside her.
If she was a robot, why did this upset her so much? She felt bad, almost as if she was actively fooling a friend. He didn't deserve this. He'd shared his house, his bed... and she returned it by not being human. It was almost too much, to sit next to him in the carriage.*
"I'm sorry I ruined your dinner for Shadi," *she said, lighting on something she could admit to.* "She seems very... spirited."

*Rochester let out a laugh.*
"That she most certainly is."
*He turned his smile on her as it softened.*
"But she's also understanding. Don't worry about it. There's no reason to fret. It is not as if you did it on purpose."
*He kissed her forehead gently.*
