Martha had been very grateful for the quiet of the clinic yesterday. They hadn't had many zombies come to try to get in - the nurses had been quite fierce, and Martha could only imagine that word had spread - and the lack of patients had made Martha start to wonder if they'd get through this whole thing with everyone being all right. It was amazing that she still had some optimism left in her, but there it was.

Exam 4: Tahiri Veila

Poor Tahiri!

"I can see straight," Tahiri was objecting as she followed Martha back to the exam room. "And I know how many fingers I have and everything."

"Those are all very good signs," Martha said, motioning for Tahiri to sit down on the bed. "When you got knocked out, do you know how long you lost consciousness for?"

Tahiri stifled a groan and sat down as directed. "Um," she began, and looked at Ben assuming he was there.

"Sounds like it was long enough," Martha said, checking Tahiri's pulse. "Do you feel nauseous at all?"

Re: Exam 4: Tahiri Veila

"Only if I think about zombie body parts too hard," Tahiri answered with a shudder.

"I've been hearing stories that have made me feel sick just thinking about them," Martha said. "Do you feel unreasonably cold? Any unexplained shaking?"

Only when she remembered yelling at the zombies in Yuuzhan Vong, and that wasn't related.

Tahiri shook her head. "I'm tougher than I look," she said, more to avoid that line of thought than to be a pain. "Just a little groggy, that's all."

Martha gave her a smile. "All right, I think you're right. You are tougher than you look. Make sure you get plenty of rest for the next few days, and if you do feel worse, come straight here so we can take a look at you, all right?"

Re: Exam 4: Tahiri Veila

[weetuskenraider]

"Okay," Tahiri agreed, because if it got her out of here sooner, she'd be fine with that. "I might sleep through the next three days as it is."

Martha laughed. "I think that's a good plan."

Re: Exam 4: Tahiri Veila

[weetuskenraider]

"Think my teachers will let me get away with it?" she asked with a tired smile.

Re: Exam 4: Tahiri Veila

"I think they might. They had to deal with the zombies too," she pointed out.

Re: Exam 4: Tahiri Veila

[weetuskenraider]

"That'd be nice." She looked hopefully at Martha. "I can go now, right?"

Re: Exam 4: Tahiri Veila

[usedtotravel.livejournal.com]

"Yes, you can go," Martha said. "I hope you even feel better soon."

Ben was hovering but not literally in the background, giving Tahiri worried glances when he thought she wasn't noticing.

Re: Exam 4: Tahiri Veila

[weetuskenraider]

Oh, Tahiri noticed. She was just pretending not to, because it was cute.

When she was free to go she slid down off the bed and went over to him. "See? Told you I was okay."

Re: Exam 4: Tahiri Veila

[momslilassassin]

"I wasn't that worried," he lied.

Re: Exam 4: Tahiri Veila

[weetuskenraider]

"Uh huh." He'd gotten her out of the pile of zombies and everything, so she was going to give him a pass for now. "Now can we go?"

Re: Exam 4: Tahiri Veila

[momslilassassin]

"Definitely," Ben said. "I don't want to shower in cold water, and I plan on being in there a long time."

Re: Exam 4: Tahiri Veila

[weetuskenraider]

"You and the rest of the school." Tahiri reached up and picked something out of her hair that she didn't want to think about. "I just want to sleep for a really long time."

Re: Exam 4: Tahiri Veila

[momslilassassin]

"Don't look at that," Ben said, making a little face. "I'm going to be happy if people don't throw parts at me for a couple of days."

Re: Exam 4: Tahiri Veila

[weetuskenraider]

"Ew." Tahiri tossed it into the trash can without looking. "I can live without doing this ever again. I thought the harpies were bad, but ugh."

Re: Exam 4: Tahiri Veila

[momslilassassin]

"This was a whole new level of ick," Ben agreed, holding the door open for her. "This place is going to reek."

Re: Exam 4: Tahiri Veila

[weetuskenraider]

"Worse than Eriadu." She gave him a hesitant smile and headed back out into the hallway. "Hopefully I can find my lightsaber under all that gunk somewhere . . . except I'm starting to think building a new one would be more fun."
