Day 29: Sun Room

[not-rly-fai.livejournal.com]

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.

The nurse rolled her eyes when Stephen chimed up and when Terry inevitably fired back. This was just the worst situation and if she let it stay this way, they'd just end up brawling again.

Turning first to Stephen, she stepped up right in front of him and glared hard into his eyes. Even if she was small, she had the aura of someone who could and would slap a man twice her size across the street if he crossed her the wrong way. "You, Mr. Deacon, need to stop harrassing this patient before I'm forced to take further actions. It doesn't matter who threw the first punch, you'll both get sedated if you fight anymore. Understand me?"

There she switched her even gaze to Terry and frowned. "That goes for you, too, Mr. Conason. I'm separating you two for now and you're not to go near each other again for at least one more shift. If I see anything out of either of you, I won't be as merciful."

Motioning sharply to the two orderlies, she stepped back and waited for the two patients to be sent to opposite sides of the room.

In a fit of resigned frustration, Zelgadis allowed himself to be taken to the end of the room. But he wasn't going to take a broken nose that easily-- he'd find time to get Mason back later.
