Varian's POV:

"Look, guys, i get that you want to play some prank, but if I've learned anything this past week, body swap compounds are not to be messed with" i explained to my cousins.

Ruddiger nodded and chittered in agreement.

"But-" Allison started

"No, seriously, what do you plan to do if there isn't a way for it to wear off? i used the last of the antidote and don't have the supplies to make another one, i'm sorry"

"Okay" 

"Are they still on about that?" Ellie asked as she and the others entered the room.

"Yeah"

they all crowded around my chair.

"Uh, guys? What are you doing?" i asked.

"This is an intervention"

"What?"

"You've been working nonstop since we left Corona and you need a break" Ellie said.

"What? No i don't"

"Varian, even Ruddiger thinks so" 

I looked over at him and he nodded.

"Wha-"

"Just a day, that's all we ask"

"Guys, i have alot to do today, i can't take a break" i said.

"Leave that to us!"

"What?"

"We can handle your to do list, you go upstairs and relax"

"Are you sure?"

"Absolutely, you go relax"

"Don't burn down the lab, I don't wanna explain to my aunt and uncle how their basement got wrecked"

"Setting up your lab down here was kinda antisocial of you, just saying" Hugo called after me.

"It's called keeping myself away from potential distractions"

"And yet you have your girlfriend serving as your assistant?"

"'serving' isn't the word I would use, I'd just prefer to say 'helping', makes it less weird"

"How is it weird?"

"I help him in his lab by choice"

"Does he pay you?"

"What?"

"Or are you just a guinea pig for experiments?"

"When have you ever seen him testing his experiments on me!?"

"Guys!"

Nuru stepped in to stop them, since I was halfway up the stairs.

"What we need to do is set up a day for you two to actually become friends" I suggested

"I'd have to look at my work schedule, Var" Ellie told me.

"Ellie" I deadpanned "I am your work schedule, we can make it work"

"I'll consider it..." She said

"Uh uh, not happening!"

"Hugo!" Nuru yelled "Will you just not be petty for a few hours so we can help our friend!?"

"Sorry, your highness, not happening"

"Nuru, Yong, if you two could keep these two from killing each other that would be great"
