[ Midnight's actually never heard of Utah, but the alacrity with which the boy drains his water supply is much more worrisome. "If you're thirsty, you've been dehydrated for a while. Drink enough so it doesn't get to that point, ever. Idiot." His medic never minced words with him. He's grateful for that. He misses him.
Something else Spot would have griped at him for: moving the patient. On one hand... never move the patient, let medical professionals do that. On the other hand, he can't leave the boy alone in a park, but he definitely needs more water. Water he doesn't have.
They're not too far from one of the park entrances, and Midnight's run the entire perimeter enough that he remembers where all of the convenience stores are. There's one that's close enough. ]
We should get you more water. Can you stand?
[ If not, Midnight will simply carry him. Sorry, Spot. He needs to move this patient. He needs water, and also needs to not be alone in a park when murder is a possibility, here. He can deal with disappointing Spot. He usually does. ]
