Room 238, Thursday after class

[can_be_more]

Aeryn's already had a busy day, between class and phone calls, and now she needs to go back to 238. Reason number one being that she needs to check up on her klutz of a boyfriend. Reason number two being she needs to change clothes, because her underwear is still soaked from class. Not dirty.

"I'll sit down somewhere," he says and thinks himself very smart for that.

"How about stairs?"

"I'll go up on my ass," he says after a moment of thought.

[can_be_more]

"What if you did break your foot?"

"I didn't," he says and starts to get out of bed, careful to keep his foot away from everything. "Look, I'll walk around and prove it to you."

Aeryn winces and tries to push him back down. "No, no, no."

"No, I'm okay," he says, trying to bat her hands away. "I don't need the clinic."

Aeryn just winces, knowing he's going to do something dumb anyway, but she's already getting to her feet for when he sees he's being an idiot.

And now he's suddenly not so sure but he's gotta do something.

So, he sets his heel lightly on the floor and kind of takes a hopping step. He hisses but coughs to conceal the noise.

"See? Fine!"

[can_be_more]

"Of course you are," she nods, gesturing him back towards the bed.

"Right," he saysm very ready to do that. He hops back to the bed and takes a seat heavily. "Should we unwrap it and see how it looks?"

Aeryn kneels on the floor, and being very careful with his foot, unwraps the gauze for him.

"Verdict?"

[can_be_more]

"Swelling's gone down, but isn't gone," she says. "And I know it still hurts..."

"I'm okay," he says and tries not to think about all the whining he did last night. "Do I get sponge bath?"

[can_be_more]

"You can't just sit down in the shower?" she asks lightly.

[whitedeathpod.livejournal.com]

"Does that sound fun to you?"

[can_be_more]

"Sponge baths are fun?"

[whitedeathpod.livejournal.com]

"It would be for me," he teases.

[can_be_more]

She considers this. "Maybe. Your chances improve with a clinic visit."

[whitedeathpod.livejournal.com]

He frowns at her.

"Evil."

[can_be_more]

Aeryn nods. "I spent part of my morning trying to reason with Angel. I've had a lot of practice with this today."

[whitedeathpod.livejournal.com]

"Maybe tomorrow," he says and lays back down. "No clinic right now."

[can_be_more]

Okay, Angel was not supposed to be less difficult. "And what if it's worse tomorrow? Your foot really could fall off."

"It won't fall off," he says and glares at his foot. "We've had a talk."
