A/N: this was written for a prompt on tumblr.
Devon frowned at the sight of a more disheveled than usual Danziger as he approached the Rail they were both to ride in. Her being the co-pilot, of course. She laid a hand on his arm. "You look like crap, John. You feel okay?"
"I didn't get much sleep last night." He sighed, scrubbing a hand down his face before meeting her eyes. "Think I'm coming down with whatever Banes has." Not that this was easy for him to admit.
She took his arm, leading him to where Julia was packing up the rest of her gear last minute. "Julia, think we have another patient."
Julia took one look at him and nodded. "Alright. I have confined Banes to the back of the Rover. Looks like you'll be joining him." She put up her hand when he opened his mouth to protest. "I'm the doctor, and what I say goes. Now go on. I will bring some meds in a few minutes."
Devon took control then, steering him in the direction of his doctor imposed temporary banishment. "Just do as she tells you, and you'll be back to driving us in no time. Rest, John. I promise to take good care of the Dunerail."
He grumbled the entire time that he was getting into the back of the Rover. He seated himself and then met her eyes. "Can you look after True?"
"That goes without asking. Now get better." She gave him one last smile before she headed toward the front of their convoy to begin the day as if nothing had happened.
