[saudadist]

[ Lucy is a bit, let's say, out of sorts after her surgery. She's tried getting up and walking out of the medical bay, but it does her a fat lot of good with her body aching every time she so much as twitches in a way it doesn't like. And that's saying nothing of the sharper pains that serve as the aftermath. ]

someone get me out of here

I can't take another second in here

[ Now, the question is, will whoever answers

A. take her back to her room

B. convince her to stay put in bed

or

c. will she be gone by the time someone shows up and thus be somewhere in the hall in an ill-advised fit of stubbornness? ]

it's not life threatening or anything
don't hurt yourself getting here for my sake

[axethrows]

That's good.
I won't get hurt! Unless there is a hidden threat in these halls, but I will be fine.

[And like she said, Rodya arrives at the medical bay and she pulls off the "just visiting someone" card if a staff member asks her, but finding Lucy isn't too hard.]

I'm here. Do you want to go back to your room?

[saudadist]

[ The lack of sleep due to the residual post-surgery aches have left her looking as bad as she feels. Bags under her eyes, exhaustion making her frame sink into the bed, but she can't even sleep due to the aforementioned pain. She does seem to liven up a little at the sight of Rodya, sitting up straight in anticipation of leaving.

Anticipation that leaves her so compliant she even feels like being polite. For once. ]

...please.

[axethrows]

[Poor girl. She's curious to what kind of surgery happened to cause this, but she won't dig too deep into details unless Lucy is willing to share.]

You got it. Can you walk or would you like me to carry you?

[Asking before she makes any accidental moves. She opens her hand towards her.]

I got the healing upgrade too so I can offer a little bit of comfort.

[saudadist]

[ Reaching for someone else's hand is so...novel. It takes her a moment to actually lift her hand, but once she does, she grasps onto Rodya's hand with the kind of grip that begs not to let go. It startles her a bit, too, but it's a relief at the same time. Must be one of the side effects they mentioned? ]

I can walk. As long as it's a slower, steady pace.
