The moment she had heard the news, she rushed over. The nurses couldn't have stopped her from coming in if they had tried. No one could stop her, especially whenever she was like this.

She wasn't going to leave his little side until he had risen again. She would wait forever if she had to. His life -- his entire team's life -- they were all so precious to her. It was odd, how because of one member's influence, they had all found their way into her normally unshakable heart. It was so strange, but so good for her to feel this way. She couldn't stop their lives from moving forward or getting into situations like this, nor could she prevent anything from happening. It had to happen.

Everything has to happen.

It was out of her jurisdiction for it to not happen.

She hated it.

However, while she was waiting for him to stir, she sat in a chair beside his bed, staring out of the window. Snow was quietly falling again, and she was slowly being overcome with thoughts. Winter was such a brute to her...

Fortunately for Dana, no one tried to stop her. She was able to march right into Marie's room undisturbed by any nurse or trainer.

When she came in, however, Marie was sleeping. He had finally regained consciousness late the night before. He had woken up completely terrified, disoriented, and incredibly sore. After the excitement of being awake for an hour or so, though, Marie fell asleep.

However, after a few minutes, he opened his eyes. And he looked at Dana.

She hadn't even noticed that he had stirred from his slumber. She was too wrapped up with her own personal feelings and all of that at the moment.

Right about now, she's probably going to need a bit of a notice that he's even there in the conscious realm to be honest.

Quietly and slowly, Marie sat up slightly. He put on his strongest most confident expression and said, "Dana... Hi." Immediately, his expression dissolved into a discontented frown.

If he had it entirely his way, only his team would have visited him... Not that he didn't mind the company from his friends, but he couldn't help feeling outrageously weak. Especially in front of Dana, Marie felt self-conscious. He sighed quietly to himself and added, "...Are you okay?"

Marie, that was supposed to be someone else's line.

Ahh yes, snow. Snow snow not even paying remotely any attention to Marie right no--

Her attention turns back to him in an instant when she realizes that she was being spoken to. Ruuude, Dana. "I am..."

She stops halfway through the sentence and bites her lip gently. "I was worried, but I believe I should be asking you that question. How are you doing?"

[punchtheocean]

"I'm fine," Marie lied. "A lot better than yesterday." Actually, he was only feeling a little better than yesterday. He was feeling less... burnt, but a lot more sore. His head was pounding, and every inch of him was either sore or stinging. But at least he was conscious. Really, he just didn't want Dana to worry about him.

"You didn't have to come see me, you know."

[temporalness]

"Well you're a homo and I wanted to see you anyways." "Well, that is a nice improvement, at least you are now conscious..." She gave him a small sigh, "It seems as if your team becomes caught up in this building more than other teams do..."

Leaning forward, she rests her chin on her hands. "I did not? I consider you one of my closer friends, Marie... While I have to hold to my duty, I still do care about you."
