A small door backstage leads up to this second story apartment atop Caprice Hall.

Ariannette had the taxi driver stopp at the backstage door, and after paying him and making sure Red got out okay, she sighed, unlocking the backstage door, and then the door to her apartment. "...I'm sorry its second story."
She shrugged. Not much she could do there.

Clarence popped out of the front seat and stood by Red.
"Do you want some help up, or do you think you could make it,"he asked.

Red looked at the stairs, and Carter had to have known the answer Red was going to give him before he even said it. "Im going to walk up these stairs." He said with an even look, actually making it up two before his legs gave out and he yelped, ending up kneeling on the third step, head bowed so his hair fell around his face. "Damn it." He hissed with feeling.

Aria rolled her eyes, but said nothing. She admired Red's stubbornness, but he was going to pay later.
She was a healer, but she could also make sure Red wouldnt want to be so stupid and stubborn about his health again.

He had wanted to catch Red and he had almost tried to, but he realised that Red needed to do this for himself so he had stood back.
"Red...you sure you don't want no help." As his friend, he had to ask.

Red took a few deep breaths. He didn't want help, because he was going to walk up the stairs. Thats what he told himself anyway. But the truth was, he could barely move at all anymore, much less get up and continue walking. But he wanted to. OH how he wanted to. Closing his eyes, he let his head fall fully, admitting to himself he needed help.
"Please." He whispered, cursing at himself for his...weakness. "Please, Carter."

"Alright"
He helped stand Red back up and put his arm around him.
"Come on, put your arm over me," It was the only way to get him up the stairs," and put your weight on me," he said as he took the next step.

Red did as he was asked, his breath rasping as he leaned against his friend. How much things had changed, he realized. Carter was getting a lot of thanking tonight, that was for sure. "Thanks." He whispered.

Ariannette had slipped upstairs during this, pulling the covers down on her bed. Red was going to spend his time there, whether he liked it or not. She had a good day bed for herself...but the bed was close to the window, and he was going to need some fresh air.

When they reached the top, after looking like a pair of staggering drunks, Clarence helped Red towards the bed.
"That climb wore us both out, but you get the bed, so come on, lay down." He finally let go of Red when he was right by the bed.

Red sat heavily on the bed, face as pale as it had been when he had been lying on the couch. He was finding it hard to catch his breath, but he looked around. So he was going to be staying here? For how long? He had a fiancee....he had things planned. How much time could he waste lying around feeling terrible?

Ariannette sighed and pushed Red down on the bed gently, pulling the covers up. "..I am going to get you better as soon as possible. You know I can." She smiled assuredly at him and rubbed his arm. "Get some sleep, and we'll start treatment in the morning."
Looking at Clarence, she ran a hand through her hair, suddenly looking as tired as the boys did. "...Thank you, hun."

Red mumbled something as he let her push him down. Burrowing down in the bed, he sighed, closing his eyes. He owed these people a lot, he thought. More then he had. He owed them everything...

Shifting his attention to Aria, " Now, are you going to be all right, you look like you could do with some sleep as well." She looked as though she could fall asleep in an instant.
"I better go so you two can catch up on your rest. " He kissed Aria's lips and gave her a light, yet intimate, hug.
