Voice Post//The Hospital//Open to Action

[treadingdawn]

For anyone who may have been present last evening...I apologize.

Private to Pevensies + Reepicheep

I believe you all know by now. If I remain in good health by the day's end they'll release me tonight. I am well for the time being.

Hello, Claire. I fell ill...

voice;

[adamantined]

Did you throw up on someone's shoes?

voice;

[treadingdawn.livejournal.com]

No, fortunately.

voice;

[adamantined]

Well, how did you get sick?

voice;

[treadingdawn.livejournal.com]

According to the hospital, I ate something not good for me.

voice;

[adamantined]

What did you eat?

voice;

[treadingdawn.livejournal.com]

If I tell you are you going to be angry?

[Welcome to the general ward, your majesty. Enjoy your stylish suite of one room balanced precariously between the stuffed animal and balloon fest that is pediatrics, and the temporary beds for other late-night casualties, most of them given IV fluids and left to tremble and sweat it out. It's about where Chase thinks you fit.]

[Speaking of Chase, his rounds have brought him back for the first time today, and he's flipping through a file as he enters, eye contact minimal. There's a trolley by the bed with an attractive velcro cuff attached to a monitor, and he pays that more direct attention for the moment.]

Okay, I'm going to need you to hold out your arm, please.

[adamantined]

... Was it wine?

[Minimal eye contact noted and it doesn't take a genius to take a guess as to why. Oh but Caspian has a question! Don't mind him, it's a logical follow up to this request.]

Which one?

voice;

[treadingdawn.livejournal.com]

No...not this time.

[worksmart.livejournal.com]

[Not especially logical, not to a doctor. It does earn Caspian a glance. A raised eyebrow.]

The one with no tubes in it will do.

[treadingdawn.livejournal.com]

[Whatever whatever, wombat. He offers the appropriate arm.]

When can you remove it?

[Caspian refrains from saying "I order you to do it at once."]

voice;

[adamantined]

I'll just ignore that 'not this time' part and say, no, I won't get mad at you.

voice;

[treadingdawn.livejournal.com]

Maybe you should come see me.

voice;

[adamantined]

You sure you're up to it?

[worksmart.livejournal.com]

[Smart plan, Chase has lots more needles where that one came from.]

Someone will take it out for you before you're discharged. Now this is going to get a little tight.

[The cuff, that is, as once it's wrapped firmly about an inch above the elbow, it starts to inflate.]

voice;

[treadingdawn.livejournal.com]

I always enjoy seeing you, Claire.

[tofuinthesky.livejournal.com]

Apologizing for what?

voice;

[adamantined]

I can come then. You want me to bring anything?

[treadingdawn.livejournal.com]

[The velcro cuff feels a bit threatening but he remains still despite the anxiety that increases his pulse.]

Then there will not be any more problems after this?

[Twenty questions, Chase. Have them.]

voice;

[treadingdawn.livejournal.com]

Sweets, if you can.
