Sometime quite after this.

One bed in the infirmary, Wellard has probably woken up by now. Or started to. The infirmary is quiet, and things tend to be distant-

But not being dead (again) is distinctly good, as soon as he finds out what the price may have been for it.

First reaction visiting thread, slowtimes most likely will apply.

"Mr. Wellard?"

A quiet voice, and a face to go with it.

"I'm Dr. Tam. How are you feeling?"

[politestpirate.livejournal.com]

He blinks, eyes focusing on Simon, and the rest of his awareness slowly taking account of the surroundings and his state of being-

Ah. Moving is not a good thing. He frowns faintly.

"Doctor? I- what happened?"

[simon_doctor]

"Don't try to sit up. You've been injured. Professor Lyon can explain the details."

[kitchen_maid]

He's certainly looking better than when Amy last saw him.

The smile he gets from her is tired but genuine.

"Hello, Mr. Wellard."

[politestpirate.livejournal.com]

Wellard blinks, managing a faint smile. "Miss Amy. Are you alright?"

[kitchen_maid]

"I think I'm supposed to be the one asking you that," she says. "But I'm fine. Tired, but fine.

"How are you feeling?"

Sharpe, at some point, came in and sat by his bed. He offers a tired smile, now.

"Morning, lad."

[politestpirate.livejournal.com]

"Mr Sharpe." Wellard smiles, tiredly. "Good morning to you as well."

"How're you feeling?"

At some point when he is (or was) still asleep a fox creeps in the door. She hops (weightlessly) on his bed and carefully sets an inch-thick metal plate somewhere that a doctor would see it, and Wellard probably wouldn't.

There is a perfect set of Fox-teeth imprints through the plate, and writing etched into it says: "Hi. I'm Ako. If he asks, I'm a Perfectly Ordinary Fox. If you want to put me out of here, I'd like to point out that I made those holes. ^_^__>"

Right down to the anime-smiley-Fox.

And, still asleep with the help of pain meds, one hand soon rests on Ako's fuzzy form. Familiar, and therefore comforting.

[tea-and-honor.livejournal.com]

She worms in between his arm and his body, head on his chest where she can listen to his heart, lungs, and all that.

This reminds her far too much of sitting by Tannim's bed.

Rachel? Comes in here often to check on Lavan.

So? There's a Rachel.

At the foot of his bed.

And worried.

[politestpirate.livejournal.com]

And soon enough, here, he does wake up-

Rachel's worry is quite enough for him to notice her soon enough.

"Miss Rachel?"

[futures_of_ash]

"You're in a bed in the infirm..." she pointed out rather calmly.

"Who do I need to bounce off walls?"

No, she's not joking.

Wellard has two visitors this time, for they've come in together.

Ako's riding on Merriman's shoulder, and amazingly he doesn't seem to mind at all. He draws up a chair beside Wellard's bed, and sits.

[tea-and-honor.livejournal.com]

She's being good. Just...there. Being good. Not doing anything she shouldn't.

[politestpirate.livejournal.com]

Wellard is vaguely awake, and now more so with a reason- hearing someone approach. He looks over, then gives Merriman a nod, and a faint smile, spotting Ako.

It's a little difficult to weave through this much equipment set up with enough room for humans to walk through, but she manages. Even without knocking over a single test tube.

Elda settles herself on the floor next to his bed, so she's at his eye level.

"How are you feeling?"

[politestpirate.livejournal.com]

"Miss Elda." He smiles a bit- and has certainly learned to not shrug, at least for the time being. Or else he would have.

"I've been better." Wellard has also been worse, but that did not last too long. "And I will be, they've told me."

[conglomerelda]

"I'm glad. I was so worried when I heard you were hurt. Sick. Both!"

Elda ruffles her wings for a moment, before giving in to the urge and draping one over him.

"Do you know what happened?"

[prone-to-panic.livejournal.com]

At some point, Archie will have been there. Perhaps he missed the other people when he went to shower and get some rest. Perhaps he only did that when someone else came in to watch. Btt he's been checking on Wellard, sitting with him for spells since he and Merriman spoke (http://community.livejournal.com/milliways_bar/12572251.html?thread=519990875#t519990875).

He is relieved that when he returns this time, the lad is awake.

[politestpirate.livejournal.com]

There is a faint nod and fainter smile to Archie, when Wellard sees him. "Mr Kennedy."

[mistressmaryquitecontrary]

"I told you," Mary announces, marching into the infirmary and looking extremely cross.

"I told you it would end up like this if you did not take care of yourself, and you did not listen. It is all your own fault."

[politestpirate.livejournal.com]

...

In a way, Wellard was expecting this, really. Just waiting for it.

Somehow, despite everything that had happened, it was quite reassuring to hear Mary stomp across the floor.

"Did you, Miss Mary?"
