Day 29: Sun Room

It was with some relief that Yuuhi awoke the next morning, in his own bed, sore and tired and achy.  He would've slept more had they let him, his face down in the pillow, away from all the others and their questions and their concern.  He didn't want to see them, but he managed a little smile when the nurse came in and didn't object when she lead him out into the open hallway that had been splattered with blood, plenty of it his, just last night. 

The Chapel or the Sun Room?  He felt he had good reason not to be terribly religious and had a feeling he wouldn't be very welcome there anyway.  The Sun Room would be nice though.  It was bright and cheery and he could always doodle or write notes on the community board if he'd nothing better to do.  Besides, the nurse was kind enough to let him take a book with him.

He found a seat on one of the couches, far from the entrance and seated himself in the far corner, legs scrunched up against his chest so he only took up one of the cushions.  He opened up where he'd left off, fingers carefully turning the worn pages  of Dorothy and the Wizard in Oz.

"It's silly to try and reason why he did it," Shadow sighed, resting his hand on her leg. "But it worked out for the best in the end. His plan didn't necessarily work as we clearly did not fall all over each other the moment the handfasting was over. But, I dare say I'd drive you to exasperation just as often as Valyn does."

He winked at her, grinning wickedly as if to dare her to think of all the different ways he could drive her mad that didn't involve constantly butting heads with her over every little detail.

Shana couldn't help but laugh and shake her head at him. "If not more," she teased him in amusement. "Although I'm sure you drive him to exasperation as much as i do, too, so I don't mind. Although I'm not sure anyone can exasperate Valyn as much as I do." She rolled her eyes.

"And that is why you hold a special place in his heart," Shadow pointed out. "Which is a rather good step in the right direction."

"I'm not sure the special place I hold is a good one, though," she retorted ruefully, then sighed again as she leaned back against the cushions. "I guess... maybe I should just get over it. I think I just complicate everything more," she added wistfully.
