Avalanche [Closed]

Eva waits outside the Med Bay, rocking herself slightly back and forth on her heels. Every few moments, she paces and barely resists the urge to peak into the Med Bay and hopefully see her son conscious and better, but she knows that the latter, at least, is highly unlikely.

She doesn't know what to do. She should be there in the room, waiting for him to wake and making sure he's okay, like a mother should. Not standing out here. Not being the enemy. Again.

But she knows that she's always going to be the empty packaging for Visser One first, and Eva a distinct second, and this has just proved it to her over again.

So rather than going in and taking care of her son, like she should be doing, she just keeps pacing and running her hands through her hair and biting her lip and waiting for Kang.

She takes slow breaths, trying to stop from crying. After a few, she seems to have composed herself enough.

"Sorry, you really need to start carrying around a tissue for me," she says, patting the wet spot on his tunic. "So what now, Kang?"

"It's okay," Kang smiled, settling his wings in their customary place. "Unless one of the others is already at the house, there's still broken glass on the floor."

She nods and cracks her knuckles, chewing on her lip still. "Right. Something to do. Good idea."

Being distracted won't fix this, but cleaning up glass is the most useful she can be right now. She pulls back from Kang but reaches up and gives him a quick squeeze on his shoulder, a silent 'thank you'.
