Post by Riven on May 13, 2006 22:28:15 GMT -5
Riven laughed as he stretched his legs out onto another chair, glad that Christine seemed to be in good spirits. Nodding his head, he replied jokingly, "Yes, well, I can see how you'd want my help with dragon wrangling with me being the best and all, but I'm afraid that it won't come without a price - say a romantic date for two?" Grinning, Riven replied, "Although I suppose I would become the target for Sky's anger instead of the man who did all of this to you if I tried to take you out on a date." With another laugh, Riven finished, his eyes for once warm, "But see here, at least I would be keeping my promise to you - by going after me, Sky wouldn't have time to go after this Wolf person."

Christine tilted her head slightly as she thought. She yawned quietly and rubbed her left eye, trying to get the sleep out of it. She was not going to...
A softly yawned "it's a deal" escaped her lips before she drifted off to sleep.

Riven smiled fondly at Christine's sleeping form as he stood up and stretched. At times, he almost felt as though she was his sister and this of course made him somewhat protective of her. Leaning down, Riven brushed a soft kiss on her forehead as he turned to exit the room.
He had told Christine that he would keep Sky out of trouble, that he would keep Sky from fighting Wolf . . . but he hadn't promised her that he wouldn't fight this guy himself. Clenching his jaw at the thought of someone attacking Christine, Riven walked out of her hospital room, knowing that Wolf, whoever that was, was not going to get away with this - not on his watch.

After Riven returned to the lobby and announced that Chris was sleeping, Tash slipped into Chris's room, she would much rather be in the room with a sleeping body then out in the lobby. Chris had made it through the surgery the rest was easy; Painful but easy.
While Chris slept, Tash sat and thought about everything they told her in the last six hours. Taking on a werewolf was probably the bravest and stupidest thing Tash could think of and that was saying something.

In the lobby, Stella sat in an uncomfortably overstuffed chair, her head resting against Brandon's shoulder. With a heavy sigh, she absently picked invisible lint off her skirt as she wondered what she could possibly say to Brandon to comfort him. True, she didn't particularly like Christine - more out of loyalty to Bloom than anything else - but it was clear to her that Brandon was hurting from having one of his friends almost die. Which was why she was here at the hospital. Regardless of how Bloom felt about Christine, Stella knew that it was her duty to be there for Brandon - and if that meant spending hours on end at the hospital, so be it.
Covertly glancing up at Brandon's face, Stella wished for what felt like the thousandth time that hour that she could make this better for him. Squeezing his hand lightly, Stella leaned up and gave him a light kiss on his cheek as she softly, "Hey, do you need anything? Coffee? Food? A pillow?"

Christine yawned quietly and stirred a bit. Her sleepy blue eyes spotted Tash. Feeling slightly playful, "I didn't think I was asleep long enough for you to have gotten a sex change, Riven." She laughed before wincing. "Hey, Tash."

"Hey Trouble, You now know that every time I look at Riven I am going to imagine what he looks like as a female right." Tash said with a laugh, glad to see that Chris had some of her humor back, although the thought of Riven as a female disturbing to say the least.

"Sorry," she said quietly, giving Tash a weak smile. She glanced up at Tash. "Can I ask you a question? When... when you guys first got here... how'd Sky react? He didn't do anything stupid... did he?"

"This is Sky we're talking about, how stupid do you mean by the didn't do anything stupid?" Tash had to ask, before adding "Sorry, that was a little harsh, but all things considered he hasn't done anything I would consider overly stupid. Actually he was more worried about you then plotting anything stupid if that is what you mean."

Christine nodded slightly. "True," she said quietly. "I'm just worried about him going after Wolf to get even for what he did to me." She groaned quietly. "I suppose I should have thought about the results of taking on a werewolf but.. I had to protect Sky. He's always protected me.."

"If it makes you feel any better I suspect it won't just be Sky going after Wolf. If they even let Sky join them. I'm suspecting the rest of the team is preparing to go after him." Tash said her suspicions aloud. "As much as I think Sky is an idiot; he loves you and it's hurting him to see you in here because of him."

Brandon pulled himself out of this thoughts when Stella started talking to him. "Hmm I'm fine, thanks." Brandon said before taking a breath and entwining his fingers with hers. "This is probably the last place you want to be so thanks for staying." Having Stella sitting by his side was probably all that made the waiting bearable.

Tash said her suspicions aloud. "As much as I think Sky is an idiot; he loves you and it's hurting him to see you in here because of him." Christine's cheeks took on an interesting hue when Tash said that. "But it's not his fault. Sure, Wolf is connected to him, but this was my fight, my fault. I.. I wasn't ready to fight a werewolf, as this clearly indicates." She yawned softly and slowly drifted back off to sleep. |

"I didn't say it was his fault; but that's how he sees it." Tash quietly said before she stood up. Leaning over the bed, Tash pushed Chris's bangs out of her face and made sure she was semi comfortable before she left. Pausing at the door; Tash looked back at Chris "Get well soon, you've to many people counting on you not to." with that Tash turned and walked out the door; and went looking for the doctor. Tash had some questions.

 : Doctor Sterling was leaning against the wall, drinking his first cup of hot coffee when one of the girl's friends came over. He mentally yawned, trying to retain his professional appearence. He was exhausted - the operation the longest he had been in. "Is there something I can help you with?" he asked politely. |
