FTEC: Monday Evening

[southernbender]

Katara was a little surprised - and happy - there weren't more people in the clinic.  Somehow she'd expected more after watching some of the people fight Hades, but then most of them were dumb and didn't get anyone to check them out.  She may have been making a mental note of who to scold later.

Where Katara was some of the time.

Although she fully understood that anyone could make a decent case for her staying longer, Adah slowly limped out of her room and into the lobby with the hopes that her own medical expertise will help get her home, especially as she dropped a small form on the desk.

"Filled this out," she explained, "for the gauze and the epidermal hydrocortizone I'm taking for the scars and burns."

It should be noted that there wasn't a scar or burn in sight across the same blemish-free, alabaster skin that Adah had always had. Despite this, several areas were clearly carefully bandaged up as if there were.

Katara eyed Adah for a long moment. "Is someone coming to walk you back up to the school?" she asked.

Re: Front Desk

Adah eyed Katara back for just as long. "No. But I have all evening and the coast is clear. I'll be fine. I could use a nice little stroll, anyway."

"It's Fandom," Katara said, making a face. "The coast is never completely clear. I'll sign you out if you wait to walk with me."

"And what if someone needs you in your absence?" Adah offered. "It'll be a long walk; I can't move very fast and I'll tell you right now that I'm too stubborn to accept any other aid. I know my body; I know when it's fine. Right now? It's fine."

"What about fifteen minutes from now?" Katara asked.

Re: Front Desk

[ecirpnellehada]

"I'll still be fine," Adah said with a small nod, although she was feeling quite annoyed with having one of the healers attempting to override her well-informed medical opinion here. "Or, if it makes you feel any better, we can consider it a head start and, in fifteen minutes, you can come see how I'm doing."

Katara tilted her head, studying Adah then nodded. "Fair enough," she said, pulling the chart over to her.

Re: Front Desk

[ecirpnellehada]

Adah sucked in a breath to keep down her annoyance and nodded. "Thank you," she muttered, a bit acidly as she signed herself out, and limped slowly toward the door with as much dignity as her crooked, limping, and imagined pocked self could manage.

Katara made a face at Adah's back then picked up the phone quickly and made one call to Lee and a second to the rickshaw company. To have a rickshaw follow Adah all the way back to the school in case she needed it.

Lois came out of her room and headed towards the front desk. She was smiling sweetly at Katara, in hopes that if she was nice she would get to leave.

"Hi," Lois said. "Can I go?"

Re: Front Desk

[southernbender]

OMG SHE'S WALKING

"Are you still feeling dizzy?" Katara asked. "Tired?"

Re: Front Desk

[armybrat_lois]

Lois shook her head. "No and no. I'm really, really bored actually. I could probably run a marathon. And win too, if I used my cast as a weapon."

Re: Front Desk

[southernbender]

She nodded. "I'll sign you out, but you have to go back to your room and rest, okay?"

Re: Front Desk

[armybrat_lois]

Lois nodded obediently. "I can totally do that."
