Sunday Morning

He'd used his leg a an excuse to avoid leaving his apartment. It had nothing to do withthe mun being over threaded or on the phone off and on last night dealing with personal stuff. Mun appreciates everyone who tride to get House invovled and apologises for my RL limitations that prevented him jumping in. He had no intention of going to the gym because of the snow, but he would have helped in the clinic

Sitting at the desk in the clinic Sunday morning, he felt bad about that. Guilty, even. He could have asked Geoff to help him get to the gym, but the fact was he didn't want to. And, well, in his defense, he didn't know how bad it was going to get. He'd been quite content to spend the weekend snowed in with Geoff, talking and laughing and, well, other things that brought a smile to his face.

But in truth, he knew he had a back slide. He was trying not to use his leg as an excuse anymore, or at least not when it wasn't really a problem. Getting across campus to the gym would have been difficult, even with Geoff's help, because snow and cane do not mix well. That he could justify to a point. But when Pippi had come to him, through the clinic door, and he'd still refused to help? He couldn't really justify that. He was selfish and not for the first time, he sat alone and wondered what he was doing.

It wasn't that the clinic was too much responsibility for him, but he wasn't sure exactly what it was. He'd fallen back on his pattern of avoiding clinic as much as possible, putting in just enough hours to say he was managing it. And he was. Wilson still helped a great deal, which House appreciated that. But he wasn't happy. He hadn't been happy for a while. The non-human factor of most of the kids really bothered him because despite his best efforts he simply didn't know how to help them in most cases.

He sighed and sipped at his coffee and waited to see if anyone would come down to the clinic.

Doctor is in. He has coffee and Cash, both puppy and music. All is right with the world. His discontent is the start of his leaving Fandom arc, and he will eventually seek out the Principal to discuss things. But not yet. Bring your injured to him now, if you dare

[OOC: Mun is AFK for a bit

Maia nodded holding tight still to Hans jacket. "Is he, is he really ok?" She whispered quietly her eyes meeting Lana's. "Thank you, for staying with me last night and leaving me the note for this morning."

Pippi pulled up a chair, sat down to Lana, and put her arm around her shoulders.

"Lana, we all have our strenghts. So you're not a fighter? Big deal, we got people who can fight. And you're not a doctor, and that's okay. Making sure you were in a safe place certainly didn't endanger anybody. And you're here now. With your friend, making sure he's comfortable, and has what he needs and isn't alone... Like that isn't important?"

"I would, but I left Victor sleeping and I don't want to leave him in his room while I go play."

He leaned toward her. "Are you okay?"

[identity profile] lovelylana.livejournal.com 2006-01-29 07:59 pm (UTC)(link)
"He's really going to be just fine. I wouldn't lie to you about something like that," Lana said firmly. "And he doesn't blame you and he's going to be thrilled to see you.'

"And you're welcome. I didn't leave till I was sure you were sound asleep, but I didn't want you to wake up and think I'd just abandoned you. I've been sitting down here with Han waiting for him to wake up." She gave Maia a fleeting half-smile. "Shep always jokes that they're going to end up giving him his own room or bed here. I think they're going to give me my own chair."

Lana's eyes fill. "Oh damn it. I said I wasn't going to do this again." She took a deep breath, trying to get her emotions back under control.

"That's pretty much what Shep said. If I was safe and out of the way no one would have to worry about me. I just wish... Oh it doesn't matter."

She rubbed at her eyes then looked up at Pippi. "Thank you. You're a very kind person."

"Yes, I am. Perfectly... Except that I'm not, because I shouldn't be... I think?"

[identity profile] maias-notebook.livejournal.com 2006-01-29 08:05 pm (UTC)(link)
Maia smiled at the part about Shep's joke. "Yeah, I think between the two of us we can open our own ambulance service." She recalled Shep's arm during the sword fight. Stepping into the room the rest of the way Maia swallowed hard. "I know you wouldn't" Maia said her eyes soft and misty. "Your really are a wonderful friend Lana." She said and then she looked at Han in his hospital bed. "Oh" Her hand went to her mouth as she saw the damage that had been done.

Pippi have her shoulder a squeeze and let go.

"You're not a coward, or useless in a crisis. If the fighting had reached where-ever it was you were, you would have done something about it. I am certain of that. Okay?" she smiled, "And you're welcome."

[identity profile] lovelylana.livejournal.com 2006-01-29 08:11 pm (UTC)(link)
"He's going to be *fine*," Lana said firmly again. "He's all patched up and will heal in no time."

[identity profile] lovelylana.livejournal.com 2006-01-29 08:12 pm (UTC)(link)
"Thanks for that," Lana said. "I hope I never have to find out."

[identity profile] walter-n-wires.livejournal.com 2006-01-29 08:15 pm (UTC)(link)
"Why shouldn't you be? You're okay. Our friends made the choice to be out there fighting and you helped each of us yesterday."

"You're welcome Cookie." Pippi gave Lana another hug and left the half full bottle of Jameson's whisky Han had handed her during the fight to give back to him.

Then she went back out to the waiting room to sit with Walter.

Maia jumped a little at Lana's firmness, blinking quickly she nodded and then stepped up to Hans bed forcing a smile. "Hey." She said in a soft voice. "Hi, how are you feeling?" Maia touched the side rail of the bed with one hand and brushed some of Hans hair away with the other.

"A year ago, two years ago, 30 years ago I would have just gotten up, played in the snow, then come check on you all... Instead, I got up, thought about playing in the snow and then decided that may be inappropriate. Certain things that didn't used to bother me bother me now... And that bothers me."


"I guess that's growing up."

[identity profile] walter-n-wires.livejournal.com 2006-01-29 08:27 pm (UTC)(link)
Walter, whose eyes probably had dark circles under them from a sleepless night spent in thought, nodded and reached out with his right hand to give her hand a squeeze.

"Yeah. I'm not sure I like that part myself. But I still don't think it's inappropriate. Think of it like a victory dance. We all earned that."

[identity profile] strongestgirl.livejournal.com 2006-01-29 08:30 pm (UTC)(link)
Pippi laughed at this.

"Yeah... I guess you're right!"

[identity profile] lovelylana.livejournal.com 2006-01-29 08:31 pm (UTC)(link)
"I'll make sure he gets it," Lana said, hugging Pippi back.

[identity profile] lovelylana.livejournal.com 2006-01-29 08:34 pm (UTC)(link)
Lana placed the half bottle of Jameson's Whiskey, that Pippi had given her on, the bedside stand by Han. "Pippi brought this back to you," she said quietly.

"I'll leave you guys alone," she said. "I'll be back later to see you both, okay?" She gave them a half-smile and headed out of the room.

[identity profile] maias-notebook.livejournal.com 2006-01-29 08:38 pm (UTC)(link)
Maia started to call after her to say she didn't have to go but she was already gone.

[identity profile] walter-n-wires.livejournal.com 2006-01-29 08:41 pm (UTC)(link)
"That's better," Walter grinned at her and gave her hand another squeeze before letting it go. "I'll join you for a snow angel or two before I go back to Victor's room. Just so you don't have to celebrate on your own."

He made a face. "Just as soon as the doctor has a look at my wrist and tells me to go ice. I'll kill two birds with one stone."

"Hi Maia." Han gives her a smile. "Aside from feeling like I walked into a rotorblade, chest first, I'm pretty good." He reaches for the hand that was playing in his hair.

"Thanks for getting me in, sweetheart. You okay?"

[identity profile] 12parseckessel.livejournal.com 2006-01-29 08:58 pm (UTC)(link)
"Thanks. I'll comm him when I'm out of here. Need to call Chewie too. He'd gonna laugh at me and tell me next time to remember to stay under cover."

[identity profile] lovelylana.livejournal.com 2006-01-29 08:59 pm (UTC)(link)
"Sounds like a smart idea." Lana smiled wearily at him. "I know I'd appreciate it if you and Shep would both learn that."

[identity profile] maias-notebook.livejournal.com 2006-01-29 10:52 pm (UTC)(link)
Maia nodded blinking back tears "Yeah." She whispered taking his hand. "I was so scared." Some tears started to fall now. "I kept your jacket, I.." Maia closed her eyes and looked at him then "I thought if something were to happen that, you would have wanted Bagoas to have it." She whispered.

[identity profile] 12parseckessel.livejournal.com 2006-01-29 10:57 pm (UTC)(link)
Han nods and squeezes her hand. "You thought right, sweetheart. Thanks for taking care of it."

He gives her a smile. "You know, you getting me here probably saved me. I owe you big, Maia. They say I'm going to be fine."
