FTEC, Monday, December 3 - Day Shift

[fh_nurse]

The nurses were running the clinic this morning, but they had Dr. Troy's pager number in case of emergency. And while Dr. Howser had noted in the current patient's chart that he did not have the plague, well, they still were being extra careful to wash their hands and wear masks while checking on him. Just to be safe.


[Plz to be modding the nurse; if you need to check in with a doctor, ping me at Chaos of Passion. I may be AFK at times in the afternoon if my alien baby tries to burst out of my stomach.]

"I don't know anymore," he whispered, almost sounding desperate.

"I'll help you if you want," Aly told him. "But you need to get better first." Her hand stroked back into his hair again. "Then you can worry about it."

He seemed to relax at her words, nodding slowly. "They won't leave me alone."

"Tell them to wait. They'll wait for you," she murmured.

He wasn't sure if it worked like that. "What if I'm too late?"

"Then you'll find a different way," Aly said. "Now you need to just get better."

"Okay," he agreed way too easily, sounding more like the little boy she'd seen one weekend than the teenager he was.

Which Aly noticed far too clearly. "Want me to get you something to drink?"

He nodded. "It's hot in here," he commented, pushing off his blankets.

She moved carefully, keeping an eye on him, and poured a glass of water.

"That, Zuko, is because you have a fever."

"I think I knew that," he said with a slight frown, pushing up to reach for the glass.

Aly chuckled lightly, steadying the bottom of the glass. "Knew you were a smart one."

Re: Exam One - Zuko

He downed the glass in one go, handing it back to her before he sagged down on the pillows. "Not always."

"It'd worry me if you were smart all the time," she pointed out softly. "That's not part of being seventeen."

This time he stayed quiet as he rubbed a hand across his face, fingers still for a moment on the scar.

Her eyes couldn't help but catch that, and she looked more worried for a second. "Relax, Zuko. You'll fulfill your duty."

Re: Exam One - Zuko

He held her eyes for a moment, then nodded quietly and as if she'd somehow reassured him, he closed his eyes again

Aly watched him for a long moment. It wasn't a physical illness, no, but a confusion in his mind perhaps. His subconscious forcing him to completely accept the choices he made Saturday night. She smiled, patting his shoulder softly just once as she made sure he really was asleep before slipping out before anyone else came into the room.
