Catching up

[call_me_rat]

It's a short trip from Harley's place to where Sarah and Doc Schreber live, and Rat's grateful for it. He doesn't leave until after dinner, and even then he's reluctant, but it seems like a good idea to go poke his head in and say hello. He hobbles up the front walk, a tall figure that's clumsy on his crutches. They'll probably hear him getting up

Sarah and Daniel are home, but it takes a minute or so for her to answer the door. "Markus!" She smiles warmly and gives him a gentle hug before helping him inside. "I called the hospital today and they said you were discharged. It's good to see you up and about." Even if that requires the assistance of crutches.

"Daniel," she calls out. "It's Markus." Absently she tucks some loose strands of hair back into her bun, although her hair isn't so much disheveled as lovingly tousseled.

Schreber has been trying to catch up on the paperwork but he's not so good at concentrating since he came back. His wrist is getting better but still wrapped up in a light bandage until it finishes healing. It looks like they all got kicked around a little. He limps into the kitchen doorway and then looks guilty and worried when he sees crutches. "Hell-oh! Oh... dear. Do sit down? Can I get you an...ything?"

Hugs are awkward, but he's always glad for them. Then he hobbles inside on the tallest crutches ever, extended to their full height. Both ankles are bandaged, and although he's using one more than the other he's walking on both feet. "Yeah, sorry, I visited Harley and April first..." He blushes, just a little, and for the moment Sarah will be left to interpret that as she may. "Are you two doing okay?"

He'll just head for the couch, being careful in case there's a Cleo around, and sitting down is a clumsy process. "I'm okay, thanks. I just had dinner."

"As you should have," she replies to Markus with a grin. "How are they doing?" Inwardly, she's relieved that he spent some time with Harley. Hopefully they have grown closer after their experience and any potential for a love triangle has been squashed flat. None of them need that kind of drama.

Clio is fortunately not on the couch. In fact, she looks a little afraid of Markus, until he sets his crutches aside. Then she recognizes him, and hops into his lap, purring. "We're..." Sarah trails off and looks over at Daniel. "Yes, I think so."
