Too lazy to pull up a log title

WHO: Davesprite and YOU
WHERE: Import clinic.
WHEN: All day post-void shenanigans
WARNINGS: Injuries, talk of nightmares and death of family
SUMMARY: Davesprite endures injuries from being caught by surprise -- and also deals with all of the nightmares from it henceforth.
FORMAT: Pick one! Just specify a day & time.

[Davesprite had fallen asleep after he had pushed Feferi off of him -- not that he had much choice in the matter. Really, it had been more of a faint than a choice of sleep. Combined with the exhaustion and his concussion, he couldn't keep himself conscious. Thankfully, with his wings mostly mended, it was easier for the nurses to lift him onto a stretcher and drag him to a bed. They continued to have trouble stuffing him in one bed, so anyone who happens to poke their head inside will find him spread out along three different beds in sprite form, fast asleep.

Of course, the second someone happens to step in the room, his eyes will snap open, and he will reach for his sunglasses off the table to slip them on. The only thing he won't do is sit up, or acknowledge whoever had come in. At least not right away -- he'll wait to see who's bothering to come in and hassle him. Hopefully it was a nurse, and not somebody who knew him.

The second he would open his eyes, he would feel dizzy and be forced to shut them again. When his eyes were closed, he would see all those nightmares that the void had forced him to relive. All things considered, he couldn't win no matter what he decided to do, eyes opened or closed.]

around the first time he wakes up?

[dogwitch]

[Once Dave was settled into a room Jade had been in and out of it. Mostly in, sitting near the bed to keep an eye on him. Occasionally she would wander out of the room with the intent to go down the hall to see the other Dave. But that impulse was always squashed. If he'd wanted any visitors he would have let people know his location. But she had known, since the day it was mentioned he was missing. It'd been so easy to find him.

So instead she would return with a bag of trail mix from the vending machine and make herself comfortable again. Absentmindedly she would munch on the snacks. And while her eyes were focused on the sleeping sprite she wasn't really paying any attention to him. She was zoned out, lost in her own thoughts. So she didn't even notice when he woke up.]

works for me

[cawky]

[Sleeping was still somewhat jarring for Davesprite. Even if he had only been a sprite for a few hours back in the Medium, the complete lack of need for normal bodily functions had been an easy pattern to fall into. It had been just as easy to pick up things like eating again, but every now and then his new body would remind him that something was off.

And that's what wakes Dave up the first time. He realizes Jade is in the room almost instantly and instinctively pulls his glasses back over his eyes.]

Did I miss the party?

[dogwitch]

[For a few moments as if Jade didn't even hear him but eventually she blinks and gives her head a shake. It was possible that she had fallen asleep with her eyes open, which given Jade's penchant for falling asleep anywhere that could have been the case.

She offers a small smile and shrugs.]

If you did then I did as well. [She pauses before adding.] How are you feeling?

[cawky]

One hundred percent, let's blow this joint.

[And then Dave will try and sit up and woah he's dizzy, but nope GOTTA GO FAST. He really doesn't like the idea of being in this clinic.]

[dogwitch]

[The look on Jade's face says she's not buying it.] I don't think you're going anywhere. Not so soon.

[She moves over to settle on the edge of the bed nearest her. Sure it would be easy for her to just teleport him out but what if that made things worse? Nope, he was staying put.]

[cawky]

[Dave grumbles and squirms a bit to try and pull his tail free from the covers, wings fluffing themselves as he pushes himself upright. It takes a lot of energy to do properly, but eventually he manages it. Spriteform is not conduscive to indoor existance.]

You don't think. But I know.

[dogwitch]

[Jade's ears pin back as she lets out a low growl. She clambers over to him, ready to shove him back down on the bed and sit on him if she has to.]

Dave, stop! You can't just go running off! You need to rest so you get better.

[cawky]

[Davesprite swats a bit at Jade to keep her off of him so he can continue vacating the area.]

I thought you said fish girl was supposed to fix it.

[dogwitch]

[Jade swats back.] You're staying put! And she did! Well, most of it. She kind of ran out of juice before she finished.

[cawky]

Jade--

[...yeah, he can't push her off, this is kind of pathetic.]

They don't even have fro-yo in this dump.

[dogwitch]

[She looks up at him with a confused look before letting out a small laugh.]

I can get you some, if you promise not to go anywhere. [She gives him a serious look.] And I'll know if you go anywhere.

[cawky]

[He deadpans a bit and wrinkles his nose.]

Anything but orange.

[dogwitch]

[She snickers and floats up off him.]

Okay, be right back! [And like that there's a crackle of green energy and she's gone. Only to return a few moments later with two cups of froyo and a couple spoons. There was even another cup with some toppings in it if he wanted them.

She settles back on the bed and hands him one. The cup of toppings is set beside him.]

Hope you don't mind kiwi strawberry and I wasn't sure if you wanted any toppings so I just got some of the broken up candy bar and nuts and I think there's Oreos too.

[cawky]

[He could deal with this. Eat the pain away. Suddenly he feels like a desperate housewife. Whatever.]

Cool.

[His wings rustled a bit as he pulled them as close to his body as possible, without making himself uncomfortable. The cup is taken without arguement or fanfare. He could really use the brain freeze, even if he wasn't totally hungry.

He'd take a few toppings too, since she brought them.]

[dogwitch]

[She watches him for a few moments before digging into her own cup. Her ears remain mostly pinned back, occasionally perking up at any small noise that can be heard in the clinic.

Although she eats her froze yogurt slowly, clearly distracted.]

[cawky]

[He's not an expert on dog language, but her ears seem to flatten whenever she's upset. So Davesprite will eat in silence for a few seconds before looking at her.]

So what's eating you?

[dogwitch]

[She frowns, mentally cursing her ears for telegraphing her emotions so easily. Not that she was that great at hiding them to begin with.

She lowers her spoon and glances over at him before dropping her gaze to the cup in her hand.]

I felt John and Kanaya in the same area as that thing that attack you. I'm sure they'll be okay but I'm still worried... And then there's the fact that you got hurt like you did. And I can tell you're upset and I want to help but I don't know how.

[On top it all there was everything that happened the night she came in and several of her friends had been hurt by that. And the fact that she had been here a year and didn't remember any of it.

She sighs and slumps forward a bit. She blinks a few times to keep herself from crying.]

[cawky]

John and Kanaya?

[He sits up a little too fast, but it doesn't show outwardly aside from a small wobble as he loses his balance.]

Upset? No. Totally not upset. Kosher. Cool. Fly. Whatever you wanna call it.

[He hesitates for a second and then reaches over to poke her chin so she's forced to look up at him and his light little frown.]

You gotta go out and find Senor Sergeant Egderp.

[dogwitch]

[She looks over at him and gives a small smile.]

They're fine now. [And by fine she means out of danger as far as she can tell.] You've been out long enough for everything to be settled? Mostly settled, I guess. At the very least that thing is just gone. I think it's dead.

[cawky]

[He lets that sink in for a second before he takes a huge scoop of frozen yogurt to stick in his mouth.]

Ok.

[And then he does, eyelids lowering a bit behind his shades.]

Better than nothing, I guess.

[dogwitch]

[Jade's smile grows a little bigger as she nods.] Yeah.

[She turns her attention back to her own frozen yogurt.] I like this fro-yo, it's really good.
