Holes and Patches [OPEN FREE FOR ALL]

After the battle, the warriors' task was over. Their job, for now, was to rest and recover for the time being.

The healers' job, on the other hand, was far from over. Some exhausted from the battle, others rotating in, they took to their bay and continued the process of treating the wounded. Some patients were free to leave in a few minutes, while others would have some time (or quite some time) on the cots. Their mission: relax. Stay as still as possible.

Unfortunately, the temptation of so many familiar faces alive and about would ultimately prove to be too great. Keeping track of this group was going to be a third task all its own.

[this is a free for all for all your injured! Have them socialize, be thorns in the medics' side, try to escape, or bring the medics together for some action. Just note in your post if you'd like a medic to visit your character---if not, it's time for a chat!]

"I dunno - some of the people I was fighting along with probably punched and kicked, stuff like that."

She let Morgan do what he needed to with giving him a smile. "You, too."

"Probably with force greater than the average human, though," he said, shrugging. "You... aren't as bad-off as the first time you came to me, it looks like. If that helps!"

"Probably, but who knows?" she said, shrugging just as much. "But, thank you! Told you your efforts weren't wasted."

"I'm just going to accelerate your natural healing for now," he said, almost absently -- but still carefully and gently -- pressing against various points along the meridians of her body. "I'm doing that so you stay in bed and rest. There is a level of stress and exhaustion that is not just physical that comes from all of this, and you need to get the proper amount of sleep and nutrition and whatnot for that."

Well, she could do everything else just fine, but staying in bed and resting was going to take some practice and patience from her.

"I can't say 'I will' since I have a horrible track record of actually staying still. But, I'll try my best to just relax and rest. How does that sound?"

"You'll say you will because you have a responsibility to do the right thing, right? And in this case, the right thing is to take care of yourself properly. Even if it's hard. You're not going to let the fact that it's hard stop you, are you?"

Cheerful manipulation at best, but it's for a good cause.

"... Yes, sir. I will do just relaxation and recuperation until I feel better, sir," Hoshi replied.

God, the way Morgan was speaking to her was almost as if like she was talking to her father when he decided to give her a strict talking to. And she tended to not like those moments at all.

"Now don't take that tone with me," Morgan said, precisely midway between amusement and irritation. "I'm looking out for you."

He was also making a point of pressing the relaxation points and not the excitation points. As much as Hoshi might desire to get up and charge around, he trusted her body to assert itself, with a little help, and indicate just how very good some sleep and restoration would be in no uncertain terms. If she could just manage to let herself do that, he would be satisfied.

"Yeah, I know," Hoshi said, calming herself down when she felt herself relaxing.

She did seem to need a good amount of sleep after how much energy she used in the fight, especially with the Twin Maximum Drive she used amongst however many attacks she launched at the Juggernaut.

In fact, she was precisely feeling it right now.

Had HE ever been this bad at her age?

Probably.

Good thing she was slowing down, because he was too. He gripped her bed railing a moment, then pushed himself up straight with a groan. "If it weren't unethical I'd tell you to move over. But I'm going to go get the proper rest myself, and practice what I preach."

"You're sure you can walk like that? I don't mind having Seraphiel take you somewhere so that you can get rest, Morgan."

It wouldn't be that taxing on her, anyway. It was just a small trip or so.

"I'm all right," he said, smiling tiredly. "Thank you for the offer, but I'm not past my limits. Just about to hit them." He didn't want her to think he was being hypocritical in declining her offer, after all. The situations were different!

"Oh, so it's okay for you to not acknowledge your limits and not for me, huh?" she teased before motioning Seraphiel to go to Morgan.

"He'll take you home. No ifs, ands, or buts about it. It'd be a little hypocritical otherwise, right? And, even if you're going to argue, I'll just pull The Eyes." And she would so do it. Just watch her!

"Hey, I just acknowledged my limits and said I wasn't past them yet!" he said, laughing. "All right, all right, since clearly it's the only way to get you to behave. Just let me check out first!" he said to Seraphiel.

"Yeah, well... I want to be stubborn," said Hoshi with a little grin, unable to help but laugh herself.

Seraphiel nodded to Morgan and waited for him to go so that he could follow him and take him back home.

"No kidding," Morgan said with another laugh, and a wink. Then he placidly allowed himself to be led off like a good boy, in hopes that she would follow his example and get rest.

Hoshi smiled as Morgan walked out, and before long, she burrowed herself in the blankets and went off to finally sleep.
