[ Raven notices that tension, on some level anyway, although she's not about to acknowledge it. instead she just moves to sit next to him, probably too close, links her arm through his and rests her cheek on his shoulder like it's all very natural. because it is for her, really, physical closeness is a comfort for her, and considering how much he scared her, she wasn't about to back off too easily. ]
I'd be shouting at you if I had the energy for it. Idiot.
[He knows he could tell her to move. That if he was lucky, she might even listen to him. But the comment never comes. Instead, he even manages to lean a little against her in return. He may not be comfortable with it, but it's...nice. On some level. Comforting. Only the second time in the past who the fuck knows how long that he's been touched without pain following closely on its heels.]
You should be resting then. [A pause, and he stifles a yawn.] And blue. Don't need to keep this up around me.
I want to. You know what it's like having something taken away from you? Part of your identity? Well I just got my abilities back, so. [ plus she didn't have anything to change into, so shifting into clothes was the only option she had right now. ]
And all I've been doing is resting, I was in bed for a week. I don't really need anymore sleep. You, on the other hand- [ her head tilts down for a second, but no she can't really tell what his torso looks like under his shirt, what kinda bandage job they did. ] -maybe I should have stolen one of those sedative shots they kept giving me. Knocked me right out. You look like you could use some of that right now.
I've got an idea. [Though nowhere near to the degree that Raven's been dealing with. It's the main reason he'd been so reluctant to give up on finding the cure. Why it'd only been at the point that he literally couldn't go on any more that he'd called in for help. He's not meant to give a shit about people, and yet somehow, Raven matters.
Giving Raven a careful look, he eventually tugs his arm back, giving her a push in the process.]
Up. [A glance to the spare bed across the room.] Go grab those pillows for me.
[ she's a bit reluctant, but maybe pillows meant he really was going to go to sleep. the fact that he preferred not to get up and get them himself makes her nervous as well. she wonders how much medical attention he actually got before he bolted out of there. if he wasn't healed properly...
but she does stand again, walks over to tug the pillows off of the extra bed and tosses them at the head of the other. her hands find her hips then, head tilted a bit. ]
Is this your subtle way of saying it's naptime? Cause I can go.
[A thump Of the head and he just raises an eyebrow at Raven, a grin appearing soon after. But instead of commenting on it, he dumps the pillows on top of the others, leaving a mini-mountain of them that'll serve as a backrest. Silently, he forces himself back on to his feet again, pointedly ignoring Raven as he's stuck using the mattress for support so he can move further up the bed.
It's only once he's up the top and forcing his legs onto the bed that he finally looks back at Raven again. There's a space left at his side; a prompt he isn't going to draw attention to.]
Think we both slept too much down there. Right now I could go for some food.
Oh, right. [ food, yes. bag of it, coming right up. she snags said bag by the handle before flopping down on the bed, sitting with one leg tucked underneath her as she dumps the contents of the bag between them both. ]
Granola bars, mostly. Breakfast pastries, um. Oh, chocolate. [ snagging one of the candy bars, thank you~ and one of two waterbottles she took from the kitchen too. ] And mini muffins, but the packaged kind so they're probably a little weird.
[It makes no difference to him, so other than avoiding the chocolate, Wesley indiscriminately delves in to the pile of food, a granola bar gone in moments. What? He's hungry, okay.]
How're the rest of you doing? [Considering half of them seemed close to dropping when he first went off his own way, he knows they can't have avoided the medbay indefinitely, no matter how hard they tried.]
As far as I know, everyone's doing just fine now. Sleeping, healing. Still haven't talked to Erik myself, though. [ which she's clearly a little unhappy about. she breaks off a piece of chocolate, munches away. ] I still can't believe everything that happened. This week's been... I dunno what to even think anymore.
Smiley mocks and threatens us, then points us to the cure of some lethal illness that the so-called captain didn't think to tell us about. Now instead of just one anonymous threat, we have the two that have been here since day one to worry about too now. I don't like it.
Has it though? [He works on opening up a packet of muffins next, taking a mouthful of one before he speaks again. What are manners?]
Smiley's said a whole bunch of things, and we're pinning a load of shit on it. But what if it's not to blame here? [Swallow, and let's just find that water.] The way I see it, Smiley may've wound us all up and tried to scare people. But the only thing we know for sure is that its helped treat a bunch of us from some disease Ward and Resnik never warned us about.
And the lists- [A shrug.] We've still go no fucking idea what that's all about.
