This is the aftermath of an event run by Reilly on board the ship Sanctuary.
|
Xanya is still not showing any signs of waking up. In the mean time a nurse has come by to do some routine checks. Xanya's left arm is now above the bed sheets.
Sadie has just walked back into the room to check on Xanya and Vessa. She sighs as she notices Xanya still not awake, but still walks over to her side, lightly touching her left arm since it is above the bed sheets.
Vessa gives a wave to Sadie as she comes in, Vessa is still groggy but more awake now then not and chatting to Keth, "Good that she is being seen to then."
Kethren nods briefly to Sadie before turning back to Vessa "So how long do you think they'll be keeping you here?"
Xanya fingers on her left hand begin to move slightly. other then that nothing is happening yet that is visible.
Sadie looks sadly over to Vessa and smiles slightly. "I'm glad to see that you are awake and alive, sissy." She nods slowly before looking back down at Xanya. She frowns and places her head down on the bed next to Xanya's arm and whispers, "I wish you'd wake up, love. But I'm not leaving you until they make me."
Vessa grins, "Glad to be both awake and alive too," to Kethren she says, "Longer then I would like would be my guess."
Kethren smirks "Well, yes. But I think that's a given in any galaxy."
Xanya moves her fingers some more. and her eyes starts to twitch a bit.
Sadie sighs heavily as she closes her eyes, small tears starting to form in her eyes. She finally looks up at Vessa, "What were you two thinking? You could have been.." She chokes back tears as she speaks.
Vessa says to Kethren, "Well as I have already been here longer then I wanted to," and trails off with a half grin before looking at Sadie, "I was thinking that I didn't want to see a friend mushed, and likely could have moved her with Xanya's help if my shoulder hadn't already been wounded."
Kethren nods to Vessa "Well, hopefully it won't be overly long. But don't rush things, hate to see you getting hurt when you're checking out."
Xanya's left hand moves a bit as if it twitches.
Sadie sniffs as she nods to Vessa. "I just..I don't know what I'd do without you two..And I've already lost you once, Vessa!" She frowns as tears stream down her face and she puts her cheek down on Xanya's twitching hand.
Vessa nods to both, "Yeah well, not looking to die anytime soon but it wouldn't be permanent in my case, they downloaded my brain so they will make a clone if I croak. And yeah, I will be good as no one needs saving or anything at the moment."
Kethren looks slightly surprised "Well, that's good to know, certainly. But I'd still rather you stay in one piece."
Xanya opens her eyes slightly. but they close again after a few seconds.
Sadie continues to have her head laid down on Xanya's hand, not noticing that she had opened her eyes. She sobs quietly.
Vessa nods to Kethren, "Yeah me too," she then frowns and reaches out to Sadie trying to lay a hand on her shoulder, only the tightening of her eyes and the difficulty breathing showing the strain on her ribs
Kethren is unsure of what to say and just watches Vessa.
Xanya opens her eyes again. longer this time. she looks around to see where she is.
Sadie lifts her head up and looks to Vessa as she feels her hand, "Are..are you ok, Vess?" She frowns, wiping the tears from her eyes. She feels Xanya move and looks up to her, her eyes growing wide. "Xan..Xanya?"
Vessa rolls her eyes at Sadie and grunts out, "That was what I," breath, "was trying to," another breath, "ask you." and pulls the arm back to get the breathing back to something resembling normal, looking at Keth she grins, "Don't tell the other Danu people you saw one of the bosses like this kay? Would lose my fearsome presence or something."
Kethren smirks lightly at Vessa "It'll be our secret"
Xanya still looks around. She blinks her eyes a few times and finally her eyes find Sadies.
Sadie looks back to Vessa, nodding slowly, before quickly looking back to Xanya. "Xanya!" She moves to kiss Xanya's hand slowly, then looks back up to her face. "I..I thought you were.." She sniffs as tears form in her eyes again and begin streaming down her face.
Vessa laughs softly at Keth's words, ending with a brief coughing spell, "Eh, we are fine, broken but fine Sadie. Won't be too long until we are back up and running around." She frowns at the current situation and her lack of mobility, "And if I don't get something productive to do soon then I will go mad. Good gracious, paperwork anything."
Kethren smiles gently at Vessa "Oh, I'm sure we can find something for you soon"
Xanya smiles brightly seeing sadie. with her left hand she tries to find a hand of sadie and hold it.
Sadie smiles at Vessa's words, her eyes not moving from Xanya's. She grabs Xanya's hand and wipes her tears away with her other hand as she smiles.
Vessa chuckles, "Ahhh but I bet it would be something not fun. Like accountant stuff."
Kethren ponders "Well, you know, normally I'd say that accountancy isn't *that* hard... I'm reasonably decent at math. On the other hand though, accounting has always, at least to my experiences, been firmly grounded in a byzantine set of local laws & regulations. And I won't even pretend I understand those in this place. But I'll help out as I can, if you want"
Xanya closes her eyes again. But instead of falling asleep she speaks as if just woken up. "w what h happened?"
Sadie tilts her head at Xanya, as if confused. "You..you and Vessa got crushed, Xan.."
Vessa grins at Keth, "Yeah but I am not a math fan so, not big on that part of stuff. Sure, you can help, company is good too." She then says to Xan, "Yeah, we got pummelfied by some stone thing."
Kethren nods "Well, math's never been for everybody. But too much of my work on earth involved it to have escaped it for long."
Xanya opens her eyes a bit looking up. "I d don't recall."
Sadie looks at Xanya, worry flashes all over face before she can think. Her eyes wide, she stutters as she speaks to Xanya, "D-Do you r-remember me?" Shaking her head, she closes her eyes, opening them quickly.
Vessa nods to Keth, well sorta head still floaty and all, "Yeah, math is not my thing," She looks over to Xan and says to Sadie, "It will probably pass, short term maybe."
Kethren nods "I've found that that's a common opinion of all things mathematical. Feel free to yell if you need a hand there. I need to keep myself useful, after all"
Xanya she looks to sadie again and smiles gently giving more grip with her left hand which is still holding sadies hands." of course I do remember you. I just don't remember what happened to me.
Sadie nods as she looks over to Vessa. Sighing with relief as Xanya speaks, she moves to kiss Xanya's hand lightly before laying her head down on their clasped hands. After a moment, she quickly looks back up to Vessa, "I-is there anything you need me to do?"
Vessa is laying on the bed of course, still a bit dazed but mostly all there, Keth is nearby and Sadie is holding Xan's hand, Xanya just woke up with minor amnesia. To Kethren she says, "Oh yeah, I know that feeling, needing to be useful." to Sadie she grins, "Eh, just keep Xanya company I think."
Kethren nods "Even more so now, really. Not like I can just call in sick and feed the ducks if I get bored."
Xanya has her left hand above the bed sheets and this hand is holding sadies hand. Her head is wrapped in bandages and the rest of xanya's body is currently under the bed sheets. Xanya look to the left to see vessa. "why are you here." she asks still with a sleepy voice.
Sadie nods to Vessa before looking back to Xanya, smiling, "I can do that!" She lays her head back down on Xanya's hand that's above the covers, stroking Xanya's arm with one of her own hands if Xanya lets her.
Maina wanders into the medical area, peeking around before finding the group. "Helloooo..."
Vessa raises an eyebrow at Kethren, "Oh I promise not to work you to the point of being too bored, or leaving you lacking in stuff to do either." to Xanya she says, "Cause I got crushed too Xan." When Maina walks in she waves to her with a smile, "Heya, wouldn't happen to have something to do with you would you? Paperwork, or something that needs tinkering with, or gymnastics I could try?"
Kethren smiles "Good to know. I kept reasonably busy before coming here... but it was a line of work that made most people quite happy to give me a wide berth, so calling in sick was a fairly attractive option some days."
Xanya looks around in wonder. "crushed? Under what?"
Sadie smiles as she listens to those around her, happy to just be by the alive Xanya.
Maina folds her hands behind her back, giving a shrug at Vessa, "Good to see you're alive. They took good care of you. I didn't bring anything in particular, but if you want to talk to Narai about that message I sent you a while back, that'd be a way to pass the time. I'm not fond of keeping a share in a death trap, personally."
Vessa smirks at Keth, "Well hopefully we can keep you just busy enough not to feel the need." To Xanya she says, "Some big stone thing, we were trying to help someone get out of a truck before the stone fell." She takes a moment before responding to Maina, "we can talk about that, sure. Honestly I would like to know who's crane that was. From the brief look I had before running to Vicky that was the only think I could see that could have failed. I don't know if it was the ship's crew or if it was someone else who was at fault and being hasty might well cost us."
Kethren nods "Well, I look forward to less exciting days than this one's been."
Xanya thinks hard on what happened. "it's vage." She says, and she looks to sadie. Her right arm starts moving as xanya intends to give sadie a rub on head. but when the arm leaves the bed sheets, her right hand and part of her arm is missing. Xanya gets a shocked look as she sees it. "What, what this!. w what happened!! Where is my hand... where is IT!!!" She starts to shout. The machines monitoring her life signs make a sound of an increased heart rate and as it passes a certain number an alarm goes off. xanya is freaking out and in shouts she demands to know what happened to her right arm. Doctors and nurses are rushing in and push xanya down and ask her to calm down. when this does not happen they give her something to calm down which takes bit to take in affect but xanya calms down and eventually falls into a deep sleep.
Sadie nods to Kethren, "Yes, me too!" She looks back to Xanya, smiling slightly. As Xanya starts freaking out, she moves a few steps away from the bed. She watches with wide eyes as the doctors and nurses push her down. "D-don't hurt her!" she yells at the doctors and nurses as tears fall down her face. As Xanya calms down and begins to fall asleep, Sadie sobs quietly. She sits back down in her chair next to Xan's bed. She grabs the sleeping woman's hand that's there and kisses it softly. She sniffs and shifts around in the uncomfortable chair, curling up in it.
