and you give yourself away

Lizbet left her car at school, and will make Dominik drive her back there to pick it up. Thermos tucked under her arm, she pauses at the gift shop and rummages in the soft toys until she finds a plush kitten that looks suitably adorable. She forks out for that and then continues up to Stu's room -- she never saw the pictures of what happened to him

Dominik follows behind like a loyal hound, stopping at the gift shop to toy with a few of the plush animals. The hippo is really catching his eye. He might come back and snag it for Daiam. At Stu's hospital room he stands to the side and knocks. He's not sure if there needs to be a nurse present or not.

The nurse only comes when called, for the most part. Stu calls quietly to come in; he rarely raises his voice and this is no exception.

It's obvious that he's been crying recently, but other than that, he's looking much better than he had been. The bruising and swelling have gone down considerably and he doesn't look like he's about to die anymore. Still, his mouth looks a mess and seeing him for the first time would probably still be rather shocking.

When they enter, he looks up and gives a shy little smile. "Hi, guys..."

Lizbet swallows when she sees the damage left, but she musters up a smile, coming in to sit by his bed. "Hey, Stu. I saw this in the gift shop and I couldn't go past it. You like?" she sets the plush kitten down. "And heeeere is your soup, as promised."

Dominik waves, smiling to the boy he normally talks to via internet. It's the wall that he chooses to stand against, eyes wandering to this and that. It's interesting from a scientific standpoint.
