[ooc: After this.]

There is a stable, but probably very uncomfortable Atton and Will resting in the infirmary.

And a Guppy hovering between them and the office, making sure they don't do anything strenuous.

Atton is staring up at the ceiling.

The infirmary is one of his least favourite places, primarily because it involves having to stay still, and also generally involves him being in pain.

His thoughts are elsewhere, however.

[will_scarlett]

Will sleeps for a long time, finally waking up when he tries to rest on his shoulder and curses before seeing Atton,

"Got out?"

[stuck-mynock.livejournal.com]

"Yeah." Atton replies flatly, without looking over. "Go back to sleep, Will."

[guppy_sandhu]

After a while Guppy moves over to Atton.

"Can't sleep?" he asks gently, though he knows unfortunately with Atton's physiology there's nothing he could do about that in pain relief or sleeping tablet terms.

[stuck-mynock.livejournal.com]

"I'm not tired." Atton replies, lightly.

Medusa moves through the world in music; her feathers chime, her bracelets jingle and even the way she and her triplets speak sounds like music rather than a language.

So, he probably hears her before she speaks. Which, she does. Eventually. The effects of riding a storm are not easily overcome, even when one has left enough time to be able to think.

"I suppose asking you if you want me to heal you is out of the question?" She asks, her voice oddly languid despite the resignation.

[stuck-mynock.livejournal.com]

Atton's used to hearing people before he sees them. Smelling them, too, usually.

"I don't want you to heal me. Not with the blood-stuff and all that. It's fine, a bit of kolto and I'll be all healed up in a week. Two maximum. Just hurts a little, that's all - I'm resistant to the painkillers." Atton pauses, sniffing the air. "Bad weather?"

[guppy_sandhu]

Guppy keeps a close eye on Will, occasionally changing the fluids and checking his breathing.

[will_scarlett]

After a lot of restless sleep, Will opens his eyes and sees Guppy,

"Got in trouble 'gain?"

[guppy_sandhu]

Gentle smile. "You tell me."

He's glad to see Will conscious, and gently takes the oxygen mask off him.

"You had me worried for a bit back then."

Jim, having gotten the note and spotted Guppy, sticks his head in. He sees a man he knows and a man he doesn't looking like patients and a doctor looking very much like a doctor.

He goes to Guppy first.

[guppy_sandhu]

"Hey." Guppy says quietly, so as not to disturb either patient.

[works-in-space.livejournal.com]

"How are they doing? And what about Kate?" He looks around again just in case she's there and the note simply left her out.

Eric swings by, wearing the suit but the helmet tucked under his arm. He's sort of... quiet.

[will_scarlett]

Will is more awake than he's been through most of the day and looks up with confusion at Eric,

"Day."

[adamantiumloner]

Logan had left after it seemed Guppy could handle things and Will wasn't going to be awake so he could talk to him.

A couple bottles of whiskey and run through the woods later and he's back.

He walks in and moves over to Will's bed, checking him over. The smell of burnt flesh, blood and the surrounding sterile odors of the infirmary itself aren't pleasant. But he'll deal, long enough to talk to the kid.

"Look like hell, bub."

[will_scarlett]

Will shifts and wakes up, giving Logan a try at a smile,

"Feel like it, but I'm livin'."

[guppy_sandhu]

Some time when Logan isn't talking to Will, Guppy approaches.

"Thanks for your help back there."

At some stage, after the worst is over and there is no more hectic activity in the infirmary, Teja turns up by the door.

Two of his friends hurt in some fearsome adventure! He feels somewhat guilty, considering that they might have used his help, but he wasn't there -- by now, he has found Guppy's original note among other papers on his map table, and feels very sorry for not having reacted sooner.

While other people might bring fruit or suchlike, Teja brings a leather bag of arrowhead for Will.

[will_scarlett]

Will had fallen back to sleep for a time but at least the oxygen mask isn't on anymore. When Teja enters he stirs and tries to sit up so he can do a type of bow, which hurts a bit,

"Milord."

[stuck-mynock.livejournal.com]

"Yo, Tej." Atton's still rather hoarse sounding, but then his voice is usually fairly growly, so the change isn't too noticeable. The burns across his face and body, moreso. "No food? No alcohol? Disappointed in you, man."

[will_scarlett]

Teja was Will's last visitor and he was sleeping fitfully and woke up deep into the night with a grimace,

"Atton, ye awake?"

[stuck-mynock.livejournal.com]

"Hard not to be when you're making so much noise." Atton grumbles.

[lost-trump.livejournal.com]

There is a man sitting on an empty bed close to where Will and Atton are. Truth be told he never got their names but when he got the note he knew. Sure he didn't know which was which but he knew they were the ones he'd helped get out. He sat there quietly watching both with arms crossed.

Lucas would leave soon if neither woke and deal with Dalt when he left the bar.

[will_scarlett]

Will stirs in his sleep and sees Lucas' red hair first and makes a cry of,

"Nay, canna 'ave 'er."

Then wakes a bit more and recognizes him a bit more,

"Did ye take it, sir?"

He looks far too pale and worn out, true rest has been hard to find.
