Jason, having been unconscious since Saturday night, has started to come around.

Nat is curled around him in the bed, sleeping and helping with the healing.

Guppy (or later Zhaan) is nearby, keeping an eye on any visitors.

Guppy is taking Jason's obs when he starts to come around.

"Jason, it's Guppy, you're in the infirmary." he says, taking the oxygen mask off him for a moment so he can see how he's doing. "Can you open your eyes for me?"

There's a small, barely audible sound from the bed. Smells are creeping in, and Jason's ears are faintly picking up the sounds around him.

His face screws up into a faint wince. After a few moments, he's able to pull his eyes blearily open.

"Welcome back." Guppy says. "You've been unconscious for about two days, so you're probably going to be feeling a bit manky; don't worry, that'll pass."

He gets Jason a glass of water, and tries to raise the head of the bed without dislodging Nat. Not entirely succeeding, he tries propping him up with an extra pillow to get him more upright.

"Here, have some water." he says gently.

Zhaan has generally kept abreast of Jason's progress ever since she took over his care while Guppy was away for a few days. She is in the infirmary now, hoping to catch Guppy before she talks to Jason.

Guppy is in the office, fighting with the coffee machine.

It appears to have given him a cup of 100% froth.

[azure-mercy.livejournal.com]

"Guppy," Zhaan asks, trying not to startle him (nobody wants coffee-froth flying all over the place). "How is Jason doing?"

Liz pads in silently to the side of Jason's bed, the opposite side Nat is on. She's quiet for now, fingers brushing gently through Jason's hair.

[loyaltyinmotion.livejournal.com]

There's a small moan at the touch, and it seems Jason is coming around at her touch. After his talk with the doctors, he'd wanted to rest again.

His eyelids pull open blearily and he looks at her.

[boundxkitty]

There's a soft strained smile down at him, fingers continuing their movement through his hair.

"You gave us quite a scare there, Jay." Her tone is soft, edged in the worry she'd been feeling since Nat had found him.

Nathaniel comes back to Jason's bedside after finally having a shower and changing his clothes -- changing into something more pajama-like -- and he silently crawls into bed beside Jason.

His arm wraps around the wolf, and he nuzzles close, letting out a soft, long sigh.

Everything about himself feels horribly bruised, but he has Jason.

He still has Jason.

[loyaltyinmotion.livejournal.com]

Jason feels him crawl back into bed and he opens his eyes, turning his head to nuzzle into Nathaniel's hair. His hand moves slowly and clumsily along Nathaniel's shoulder.

"I'm sorry, Nat," he whispers.

[nathaniel_kitten]

"I know," Nathaniel murmurs. "I know."

Jason was sorry an awful lot lately.

In the night, when the infirmary is all but silent and the lights are dim to allow the patients to sleep, a warm, four-footed pillow insinuates itself among those behind Jason's head.

This one's eyes reflect what little light there is, as it keeps watch.

[loyaltyinmotion.livejournal.com]

Jason's voice is soft and uncertain in the dark.

"I was wondering when I'd see you, brother."

[mogget_cat]

There may be the brief feeling of a rough tongue against Jason's temple, to go with the warmth and softness of the not'cat's fur.

"Ah, he lives."

Yrael's reply is equally soft, affection mingling with accustomed concern in his tone.

Charlie is there. He appears to be reading a book, though he's doing a fair job of watching Jason, without a sound.

He won't say anything until Jason does, if he does. For now it's just as reassuring to watch him breathe, and know that for a second longer, he's alive.

[loyaltyinmotion.livejournal.com]

After some time, he begins to stir. It's amazing how you can tell when you're being watched, even while asleep.

His eyes open and he looks at Charlie, then closes them again. "Hey."

[onpaleblueeyes.livejournal.com]

Em's heard about what happened, though she hasn't been back in Milliways until now.

After asking around, she finally gets directions to the infirmary and makes her way over to Jason's bed.

She doesn't say or do anything to announce her presence. Just sits down in a chair beside his bed, watching him quietly.

[loyaltyinmotion.livejournal.com]

Nat's gone for food this once, so Jason is alone for the moment. He smells Em before he opens his eyes.

"Hey," he offers softly.

The small voice in the back of his head is shouting insistently that she can get him what he needs, but he's trying hard to ignore it.

On the fourth day after Jason's overdose, Teja comes looking into the infirmary.

He leans in the door-frame, quietly, to see if Jason is awake, and whether he would speak to Teja.

[loyaltyinmotion.livejournal.com]

Jason is, staring defiantly at the ceiling tiles. He's feeling stronger, but goddamn does he want a fix. It's always on his mind...

He sees Teja standing there and there's a moment of panic as he wonders what new hell Teja's about to unleash on him.

A quiet voice in his mind reminds him of the joking at the party, and he forces himself to calm slightly, sending all the nervous, frustrated energy to his hands. And they in turn take it, clenching and unclenching, rubbing their thumbs over their knuckles, and wriggling their fingers.

"Hey."

[boundxkitty]

Liz wanders back into the infirmary. She doesn't look nearly as tired, but then the time with Moon on the couch had helped greatly with that. She makes her way to Jason's side, hand sliding to settle over one of his as she comes to a stop next to his bed.

"You awake?"

[loyaltyinmotion.livejournal.com]

He opens his eyes, and they're not happy eyes that greet her.

Today has been hard.

"Yeah, I'm awake."

Malcolm has been in the infirmary for a little while when he approaches, but Jason had been resting at first and Malcolm hadn't wanted to wake him. He has Jason's file under his arm when he stops by again and smiles.

"Hi. I guess you're Jason? I'm Malcolm Crowe."

He offers a hand.

[loyaltyinmotion.livejournal.com]

Jason's eyes flick to the newcomer, studying him briefly before holding up a tentative hand.

"Yeah," he says quietly. "Guppy said I should talk to you."

For all this mess he likes Guppy well enough, so he can talk to this guy if Guppy thinks he should.
