Word Count: 100
The hospital waiting room is killing Alice. She keeps pacing the floor while Randel sits helplessly on the couch.
"I'm such a hothead," she mutters. "But I thought it would be me who would be hurt by it."
"Oreld is going to be all right," Randel replies, because he believes it, and because Machs is also listening. "It was battle, and he knew that."
"A commander takes responsibility," says Alice.
Finally Randel guides her back down to the couch, and takes her hand in his.
"You are."
They sit, and he prays for good news. Her hand feels so small.
