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.]

I would daresay we all do, though your absence may inspire it nonetheless.

[ she had to contend with him worrying about other dave before, after all. who will she wind up with asking about him this time? ]

[cawky]

Doubt it.

[Kanaya, have you met Davesprite's solo hero complex yet?]

[glowsferatu]

Of course. Heaven forbid anyone spare a thought for your well-being.

[ it's far too common an affliction among their peers. in an unintended moment of irony, after sighing and rolling her eyes, she turns back to the window, revealing the back of her shirt to be covered in green blood. ]

[cawky]

No point in it.

[That was just the facts. He was fine, he was also Davesprite, not Dave Strider.

But he's not keen on explaining it, especially to a troll, and he's distracted by the blood on the back of her shirt.]

But you look like you could use this bed a little more than me, girl.

[glowsferatu]

[ she glances back at him over her shoulder and follows his eyeline. oh. well she will have to clean that when she gets home. ]

...Even less point in sparing that thought for the dead. Better that it be inflicted on one who is built to withstand it.

[ again and again and again and again. the residual effects of her own hit from the void well up at the thought and she has to grip the windowsill to hide how her hand is shaking. ]

I need to look in on Aradia still. Is there anything you need before I leave?

[cawky]

Hypocrite.

[But whatever. He's not moving from the bed anyway. He can't, really. He does stubbornly pull his wings a little closer though and -- holy shit, orange feathers everywhere.]

Nah.

[glowsferatu]

At least I'm not at risk of dying. That alone gives me further leeway on the matter.

[ she opens the window and steps through it, turning back to look at him directly before she goes. ]

I may return later to ensure you're healing properly. You're worth a great deal to people who are similarly worth a great deal to me, so for the sake of all involved I hope you aren't here for long.

[ and then she steps out onto the wall and closes the window behind her, then ducks around the corner and is gone. ]

[cawky]

[He watches wordlessly, mouth stretching to a thin line. He finally formulates something to say after she's already closed the window, and it feels dumb talking to the wall, but he has to have the last word.

Or maybe it was because Kanaya wasn't there. Hard to say. He still feels like ass from all the nightmares he had to relive.]

For their sake, they'd be better off not worrying.
