DAY 64: ARTS AND CRAFTS (THIRD SHIFT)

[envy_the_sinners]

Scar had spent the morning napping in the Sun Room. Brunch had been skipped, as the nausea was still persisting. He would have been happy to lounge around all day and catch up on sleep, but his nurse had continuously been suggesting that he would be happier if he did something with himself. Fine.

So, Scar had meandered into the Arts and Crafts room. Sitting at one of the tables, he absentmindedly fiddled with the supplies at the center. The scissors were disappointingly dull. He had been hoping for something useful, but apparently they really did think of everything.

He may as well take his time to sort his thoughts. But he wasn't really sure where to begin. He looked down at his injured hand. The bandage didn't cover the rash entirely, but at least he had received medical attention.

He still wasn't at ease with this whole "illness" thing.

[For Murphy!]

Eugene wiggled his eyebrows suggestively at Rapunzel and gave her a huge grin. It was official now: they were an item. And it had taken a conversation with their perpetual third wheel to do it.

Still dazzled, he sat down at the table next to Rapunzel and gave her hand one more squeeze. For now, they had other things to worry about...and he felt a little bad for Kratos. The other man was doing an admirable job of not letting on how awkward this situation must be for him, though.

Speed things up again? Did that mean what he thought it meant? Eugene's expressive eyebrows were at it again, this time arching in confusing. "So...are we not keeping that a secret anymore?"

Don't be too proud to ask: it was a little late for that, actually, although he really was being honest when he'd said that it would only take him a day to recover. "I'll keep that in mind, but it shouldn't be necessary" Kratos said, bowing his head slightly. "I can speed the process up through my own powers if need be, and the injuries I sustained this time are well within their range."

Of course, that didn't mean that he would be using them, given the considerable toll using his magic took, but he wanted to reassure Rapunzel that he wasn't claiming relatively good health solely to maintain a reputation.

Eugene's question confused him as well until Kratos realized that he was talking about Rapunzel's unique ability. "You're referring to her hair, I assume." He glanced at Rapunzel. "I haven't told anyone about it, if you're concerned about that." He wasn't surprised at all that something like that needed to be kept under wraps, even though a girl with an unnaturally long mass of hair just screamed to be investigated.
