Dunno. I guess I'm feelin' sluggish ...I can't walk and stuff and this thing just keeps beeping.
[ By "thing", he means his device. Finally having mobility, he takes it out of his pocket and checks what's been sending him notifications for so long. His eyebrows quirk when he sees his alarmingly low Chroma count. ]
Do you know what this means? Did I get scammed outta money?
[ He shows his screen to Lucy, hoping that she'll have the answers for it. However, his attention keeps shifting to her cut. ]
[She peers at Tamaki's device before curiously looking at her own strapped to her free forearm. In favor of ignoring the comment about her cut, she uses a vector to manipulate the touch screen while she keeps her other, physical hand pressed against her wound.]
It says mine is low too, but not as much as yours. [She shows him her screen in return.] I don't know what it means, but let me see if Nyuu wrote anything about it.
[She turns the device back to herself for her own eyes to see as she switches to the notes apps. Sure enough, Nyuu has already typed some information on what's happened during her time awake, including what the scientists have explained so far.]
It's basically saying that you're low on energy, since that's what Chroma is. The way to help get your levels back up is--
[She frowns upon reading the next set of words Nyuu left behind. Intimate physical contact. Even though the notes point out that it doesn't have to be sexual, Lucy is rather awkward when it comes to touching, so she's not a huge fan.]
[ Luckily, Tamaki seems to recover from not-ghost scares pretty quickly.
Stepping closer, he leans in and looks towards her device, nodding. He's sure at some point someone told him the specifics of how this place functioned, but the shock of being there in the first place had kind of wiped it all out of his mind. Ready to hear the answer to their problem, he tilts his head curiously. ]
[It's not something she does on purpose, but with no blood vessels pumping warm blood through them, her vectors lack heat.]
Call me Lucy. [Two vectors float towards Tamaki.] You're going to feel something touching you now.
[She wasn't lying when she warned that the vectors might be cold. In fact, they're as cold as death, like ice but without the sting. The temperature may not be comforting, but at least the grip is sure and strong. It definitely feels like a pair of hands.]
I will have them check my injury when I drop you off. They must have a first aid kit, or a healer, somewhere.
[Lucchan. She can't help raising an amused eyebrow at the nickname, though it's not unwelcome. She would never admit it aloud, but it feels nice to have nicknames; it makes her feel accepted.]
Sorry, but--
[Her Chroma meter starts beeping and she can feel a haze beginning to form in her mind. One glance at her device shows her Chroma falling lower, the plant's earlier contact with her beginning to take its toll.]
I [She sways a little.] I don't think I can keep them up anymore anyway. That vine...
[Fortunately for Tamaki, the vectors disappear. On the other hand, Lucy's looking very pale herself now and continues to sway.]

That doesn't look like nothing.

So... Did you find out? You're all quiet now...

I can’t help you with your Chroma, but I can carry you to a safe place where there’s people who can help.

[ He's a pretty heavy guy for someone her size, though. Will she be able to do it even with that? ]
Alright, thanks. Get your forehead checked too--er.... your name. I dunno it.

[ Regardless of any warning, Tamaki still couldn't help shrieking and squirming around in the vectors' hold, even if with minimal strength. ]
H-Hey! Lucchan! Lucchan!! This is way too cold!!
I can't do it!!
