Aeryn had never been injured significantly. Now, in her cooling suit, recovering from heat delirium and with her arm in a cast, she's beginning to discover just what happens when you're hurt. Boredom. Yes, boredom. So she's lying on the bed and wishing she wasn't drowning in pillows. Feel free to irritate her further.

[OOC: With much handwaving of happened in slowtime threadness.]

Jaina hobbles in to the room on her crutches, grinning softly when she sees Aeryn resting on the bed. She rests the weight of her body on her crutches as she stands, careful not to put any weight on her still bandaged left leg.

"You're looking better than yesterday."

[just-a-soldier.livejournal.com]

"I can think again."

But not move very well. Aeryn held out her hand to demonstrate, it was still very unsteady. She tried to sit up, only succeeding in flailing slightly, it was impossible to disguise the narrowing of her eyes.

"You are injured."

[jedipilot.livejournal.com]

Jaina shrugs, which isn't very well with the crutches. Instead, she hobbles over closer to Aeryns bed, chuckling dryly.

"It's not nearly as bad as anything you have to deal with." Pause. "We probably deserved it, though."

[just-a-soldier.livejournal.com]

"How did it happen? Is it serious?"

Frell. She's got a husband, what were you thinking of, dragging her off on some fool mission?

[jedipilot.livejournal.com]

"Nah," Jaina says, grinning. "Just a slight fracture and stitched up gash."

The worst of it really was the fight with Jag.

Atton's very good at irritating people. It's a practised skill.
"Hey," He says, sitting down beside her bed and handing her a bunch of grapes. "Don't ask. Bar gave them to me as I passed." In his other hand, he's holding a rather thick Earth book with no title on it. If Aeryn looks carefully, she might see another book within that book, of a distinctly more modern looking sort.

[just-a-soldier.livejournal.com]

The grapes were eyed and pushed to the side, then she eyed them some more.

"Atton..." And there's an odd feeling in the pit of her stomach. She doesn't want to talk to him about what happened, so she concentrates on the book.

"What's that?"

[stuck-mynock.livejournal.com]

"It's a book. Earth thing. What happened to you?" Him, trying to change the subject? Never.

[just-a-soldier.livejournal.com]

"I got heat delirium. What's the book?" Her, trying to change the subject? Duh. She attempted to peer at the book and almost smothered herself.

"Frell! Does there have to be quite so many pillows." She's still weak, but rather annoyed.

[stuck-mynock.livejournal.com]

"The Silmarillion," Or at least one of the books is. "Apart from the heat delirium, what happened? You must have got it somehow."

One concerned doc coming up. See the worried frown and the yoinking of her notes from the end of the bed.

"Hey you." he gives her a smile. "Trying to give me extra work?"

[just-a-soldier.livejournal.com]

"Hey Guppy." Aeryn smiled up wanly at him from her queenly pile of blankets.

"Sorry, shouldn't try and die on your time."

[guppy_sandhu]

He smiles, studying the notes.

"Don't worry, just don't make a habit of it. How are you feeling? Can I get you pain relief or anything?"

[just-a-soldier.livejournal.com]

Aeryn shook her head softly, face etched with worry.

"No it doesn't hurt, except..." Same old pain.

"The arm is very irritating and I don't have much strength."

[guppy_sandhu]

"Irritating as in itchy or awkward?"

He perches on the edge of the bed. "According to your notes and this very fetching outfit you've been suffering from heat delirium. That combined with the injury would be enough to make you feel a bit on the weak side today. Who patched you up last night?"

[ooc: Presumably the treatment is in the notes - what happened to her in the way of healing last night?]

Somehow Chiana knew Aeryn was back, either by way of gossip or she just knew.

So here she is, a brief knock and she slips in.

" Not dead, I see. "

The grin means she is really glad that Aeryn returned.

[just-a-soldier.livejournal.com]

"Sadly yes. I'm among the living dead now."

Bar kept giving her those zombie comics. Perhaps she thought Aeryn would appreciate the gore.

[girl-of-gray.livejournal.com]

She smirks.

" Cooling suit will get you back to normal in no time. Bet you hate the laying about though, huh? "

[just-a-soldier.livejournal.com]

That earned a smile. Chiana obviously knew her.

"It's driving me insane. I have things to do." People to see.

[girl-of-gray.livejournal.com]

Chiana laughs.

" How much longer are you supposed to be in here? If you need I can get people, or things done for you."

There's a sliver of face peering at her from behind a privacy curtain, wide-eyed.

[just-a-soldier.livejournal.com]

Aeryn blinked, peering over the edge of the mountain of pillows. She was half wondering if she was still deliriumed enough for hallucinations.

[mark-of-samael.livejournal.com]

"it keeps you cool?"

[just-a-soldier.livejournal.com]

"Yes." When something isn't real, how exactly do you answer it?

"Who are you?"

[mark-of-samael.livejournal.com]

"Alessa."

Then, "did you get burned?"
