Triela had slept through the night and awoken during the early hours of the morning. She felt refreshed, ready to get up and face the world.
Except that she found she couldn't. Her body moved, but it was slow and awkward. It didn't stop her from trying. Fortunately Hilshire had been awake for far too long so even in that awkward chair he slept through the sound of her falling onto the floor when she tried to get out of bed. And through the hour of work it took her to climb back in.
Someone was going to be grumpy for any visitors today.
Someone was just going to have to deal with that, wasn't she?
Karla entered the clinic, bundled up as if it were still winter, rather than simply a little cooler than what they'd been used to. Someone had dropped a few pounds on Sunday, and her heavy sweater both helped mask that fact and keep her warmer than she was able to do by herself.
"Kiss kiss," she said quietly, poking her head into Triela's room. "Anyone mind a--oh! You're awake!"
Karla made a face and waved that away. "Nice try," she snorted. "I just need a few more naps and an extra helping or three. You get to stay there until your assorted Healers, doctors, and nurses say you get to go."
She spotted Hilshire in the chair and made another face, but kept her voice down so as to not wake him. "How do you feel? Hungry? In pain anywhere?"
Emma had been in here yesterday to dull some of Triela's pain receptors, Karla knew, but it was still good to check.
And other than that whole physical weakness thing, it was even true. "No pain, not dizzy or anything..." She pursed her lips. "I could probably eat, but I'm not starving or anything."
Karla was going to snort, again, at that answer. "Darling, I hate to break it to you, but no one goes through what you did and is 'perfectly fine.' But you're lucid, which is good. The lack of pain--you can thank Emma for that." She nodded at Triela's bed. "And for your clothes and your teddy bear, too. She visited yesterday."
Frowning, Karla's eyes went a little distant as she looked Triela over with Healing Craft. "I think you can handle something a little more substantial than broth." Ducking back outside for a moment, she came back in with a to-go box from Il Pollo. "I know, I know, nowhere near as good as you get from Rome. But I figured you might like a taste of home."
"Ha!" Karla snarked, snagging a tray to brig over to Triela's bed as well. "You think I'm foolish enough to pin my food on hopes of your willingness to share?" A second to-go tray floated leisurely inside the room, patiently waiting for Karla to finish setting everything up. "I brought my own."
Besides, now that she was hungry again, she knew better than to try to 'share' with anyone--at least, if she wanted them to get any, too.
"Eat as much as you can, but don't worry if it's not a lot. Your body is still adjusting."
Scully restrained a snort, then joined Triela and took her pulse. "I'm glad your subjective frame of mind is so good. If you think that's getting you released, though, you're dreaming."
"So if it was me, but I was totally just asking because a nurse wanted to come in and give you a shot that's as long as my arm?" Momoko skipped into the room, not followed by a nurse, and, setting the thermos and gun on a table, practically smooshing Triela with the bear and a hug.
"Awesome!" Momoko was going to leave it at that. And ask Scully later for the real news, since one didn't have their heart just stop beating and then be 'fine'. "Is there anything I can do for you while you're here? It's got to be totally boring. Oh! This is tea! Green tea. I can't remember if you liked it, but it's really tasty when I'm sick." She tapped the thermos.

"Hey." Her voice was only a bit softer than usual. "You look like you should be in this bed rather than me."

"Give," she demanded, holding out her hands. "And if you're good I might share."

Re: Triela's Room
"To what, exactly?" Triela still wasn't entirely clear on what had happened.
Beyond the more obvious bits.

She smiled when she saw Triela was conscious, but didn't exactly look happy. "I'm glad you're awake."

"Triela? You awake?" Momoko checked, popping her head around the corner, her best smile in place.

"How are you feeling?"
Re: Triela's Room
Re: Triela's Room
"And how are you doing? Since I totally know that's not the same thing?"

Or none that she felt worth voicing.
