Guppy and Hannibal spent a fair amount of time working on Sunshine yesterday, and she is currently resting in one of the beds.

She could probably do with some gentle company.

Sunshine asleep

[cook_the_rude]

While Rae is still asleep, Dr. Hannibal Lecter is keeping around much of the time.

He's sitting in a chair, seeming to doze or outright sleep, watching over Sunshine which whatever thin thread of consciousness there is beneath his closed eyelids.

"How's she doing?" Jonathan asks quietly, so as not to wake the patient, hovering by the door. "I saw her... arrive. Tried to help, a little, but then you were there and I'm no doctor."

[cook_the_rude]

"Luckily, I am," the man in the chair says, opening his eye.

He probably wasn't completely asleep.

"She is healing. I noticed you tried to clear some of the debris off her."

A figure darkens the door, and whatever lights illuminate the infirmary suddenly seem to struggle to do their job.

The Prince stands and watches the sleeping woman, an expression of longing and sorrow plain on his face.

Until he registers the man sitting beside her bed. His brow darkens, his mouth set in a fine line, his jaw tense.

'How is she?'

Re: Sunshine asleep

[cook_the_rude]

The man opens his eyes, never having been asleep. Instead, he was pondering blood, and that which the dead vampires were made of.

"On the mend," he says, his voice taking a crisp, self-assured tone. He is the doctor, it asserts.

He stands.

"You saw my note, I take it?"

Kate spies the notice on the board and hurries to the infirmary to see if Rae is all right. When she gets there, she's sleeping — as is Dr. Lecter. She's less averse to waking the latter, however.

"How is she? What happened?"

She keeps her voice pitched low. She'll come back to see Rae once she's awake.

Re: Sunshine asleep

[cook_the_rude]

Dr. Lecter gives her an owlish little blink as he opens his eyes.

"Kate," he says, straightening up from his slumped posture. "She is battered but will heal. Her world happened. I don't know how much you know about it?"

Re: Sunshine asleep / Autor

[herr_bookman]

After acquiring his twenty captured pieces of sun from Mia, Autor booked it to Sunshine's infirmary room to set them up. He rounded the corner--and stopped, nearly biting his tongue, when he saw Dr. Lecter.

Just as he did when witnessing her attack, Autor waits, watches, and then turns on his heel to head to the hallway. Crossing his arms, he leans on the wall to think. Does he know her elemental affinity? He will, if I use these.

Frowning, he peeks in at the broken occupant of the bed. Swallowing his sigh, he whispers to his sylladex. "Clouds which stain truth's rising day, by her sun consum'd away."

Warm enough to bask in, and bright enough to immolate a vampire. Autor begins to cart his sun jars inside, four at a time.

Re: Sunshine asleep / Autor

[cook_the_rude]

Dr. Lecter seems to be sleeping, but when Autor sets up the jars, he opens his eyes and says, in a quiet voice, "I should have thought of putting up some full spectrum lights."

He sounds almost offended at his own oversight.

Sunshine awake

[sunbaked_baker]

Sunshine is often asleep, but sometimes she meanders back towards wakefulness, to read or gaze out the nearby window. Much of her energy is focused on healing, and she knows better than try to overtax herself, however much she'd rather not be stuck in the infirmary.

She would welcome visitors. The painkillers she is on are... quite nice.

Re: Sunshine awake

[street_sparrow]

"Rae? What's...oh." Gavroche stops abruptly, blinking at the woman in the bed, who is not the little girl he's got quite fond of, which is who he was expecting to see. "Hello."

Re: Sunshine awake

[sunbaked_baker]

Sunshine has been gazing out the window at the summer landscape, thinking and trying not to think. When someone comes in, though, she looks over at the person in the door.

"Hello," she says, offering a slightly puzzled smile. Rae doesn't recognize him.

Re: Sunshine awake

[damncompass]

Joshua saw the note on the board, and ran home for a while, returning with a plateful of wonderful-smelling brownies. He peeks in the door with a smile. "Rae?"

Re: Sunshine awake

[sunbaked_baker]

Rae, who had possibly been drifting off again (those painkillers are fantastic), blinks her eyes open and glances towards the door.

She smiles, recognizing Joshua. "Hey you."

Re: Sunshine awake

[vojvode]

'Rae.'

The voice is familiar, and tinged with relief, though he does try to cover it.

It doesn't work.

He settles on the edge of her bed, light as a feather, careful not to jostle her. One hand comes up and brushes a hair from her forehead, and he bends to place a kiss on her brow.

Re: Sunshine awake

[sunbaked_baker]

Rae is drowsy, not fully awake, when he appears. The painkillers may have left her mind a fuzzy and muted place, but she can't stop herself stiffening at the sudden-vampire-leaning-into-her-personal-space. Even though she recognizes him, she lifts her open left hand unconsciously against his chest as though she could ward him off. Especially after last night, sudden - even if familiar - vampirage has her on-edge.

Vampirage? Is that even a word? She can't be sure. Maybe vam-peerage? He is of noble lineage, after all.

Some part of her drowsy mind is aware that she's rambling. If not out-loud. Well, even that's up to debate, isn't it?

Re: Sunshine awake

[thefirststark]

Howard has never been here. It's a fairly nice space, certainly better than the cramped medical facilities back in the UK, and even more modern than most hospitals he knows.

But he's not here to study the room, is he?

"Rae?"

[ooc: FYI, not around a lot till Tuesday evening]

Re: Sunshine awake

[sunbaked_baker]

"Mmh?" Rae murmurs, drifting back up towards wakefulness from the doze she'd fallen into. "Howard? Oh... hey there."

She's not at her best, but she'll offer him a drowsy smile.

Re: Sunshine awake

[thekidfrombrooklyn]

Steve sits at Rae's beside and folds his hands together. He knows it can be a little ... unsettling to know that someone is watching you sleep. Just a few minutes, and if she wakes up, good--if not, he'll come back later.


[ooc: They can catch up later if you're overloaded.]

Re: Sunshine awake

[sunbaked_baker]

(ooc: Overloaded? What is this overloaded? <3333)

Sunshine soon stirs. The painkillers, though leaving her mind in a drowsy, muddled state, never seem to let her do more than doze when she drifts off. Still, she has slept more in the past twenty-four hours than she has done in much of the previous week. The dreams brought by the medicines are odd, but are not the nightmares that usually plague her rest.

When her bleary eyes blink open and notice the person sitting next to her, she stiffens slightly. It's automatic, but gone just as quickly as it came, when she notices who it is.

"Oh, hey you," she offers Steve a slight smile.

Re: Sunshine awake / Autor

[herr_bookman]

The next time she hovers on the brink of waking, she'll likely feel the warmth of sunbeams bathing her from the left, the right, above. Jars placed on tables and hanging from macramé nets surround her in a cocoon woven of light.

And it's on the outside of the blades of sunlight that a boy sits--curled up over a book with his knees tucked to his chest, squinting. His face is cast in half-shadows, but his glasses glint as he turns the page.

Re: Sunshine awake

[forgottenmotley]

There's a soft jingle of bells and then a smell of cinnamon. The Fool shuffles in carefully holding a small covered plate and gives her a small smile.

"I heard you got hurt."

Re: Sunshine awake

[sidhe_king]

Finvarra has left a small bunch of yellow Michaelmas daisies, tied with one of their fellows, on Rae's bedside table. For a creature much more accustomed to shadows and half-light, he tolerates the harshly-lit infirmary well enough to see her.

"Come away, O human child," he says, half-murmur and half-sigh and mostly inaudible. "What did you do to yourself, Raven?"

Re: Sunshine awake

[cook_the_rude]

Dr. Hannibal Lecter is not exactly a visitor, but there quite often when she wakes up, and ready to pay attention, should she need anything beyond the scope of the Work Experience Waitrat who helps in the infirmary.

Re: Sunshine awake

[gavin62truck]

Tommy lightly knocks on the door as he pokes his head into the room.

She's awake! Awake is good. Drugs that make being awake not painful is good, too!

"Hey, sweetie," he greets her, stepping inside. "How're you doin'?" His tone is low and heavy with concern, yet still trying to be upbeat.
