Day: 39 Characters: Daphnecagedbirdruns and Doumekighostrepellent Summary: Reality check for a speedster and an attempt at patching up the kid. DAY/NIGHT & Time: Night Status: Open to Jin//incomplete
The visit with Tink had at least put him in better spirits, and after she left it was a bit easier to sleep. He drifted in and out for a while, lying on his back with the blood-encrusted sheet and his destroyed hand still resting on his chest, his hair sticking to his forehead again despite how Tink had pushed it back. The blanket was still around his shoulder, though the hand was exposed.
Doumeki was feverish still, his forehead and face and neck beaded with cold sweat, shivering off and on between naps and drifting in and out. He was never quite sure what was real and what was a dream - at one point he was sure Watanuki was in the room with Yuuko, that they were looking at him, that Mokona was asking him if he wanted a drink. It seemed so real, but it couldn't be. No pork bun or witch, and Watanuki wouldn't have looked at him like that...
No, only the cell was real, the room with its dirty walls and the bed damp with sweat and blood, his shirt sticking to the small of his back. He parted his lips, his mouth feeling like it was full of paste, and started working up the strength to go get a glass of water, uncertain if Jin was even in the room, eyes still mostly closed, looking at the world through black eyelashes.
He was barely aware of the door moving and a breeze in the room before someone was standing over him. He twitched, the muscles in his back contracting, his mouth opened a bit more, and he gave a low grunt, relaxing as he realized who it was. Daphne.
"Why're you here?" he mumbled, more confused than anything else.
"What. Told you to expect me." She said offhandedly, going at first to start to sit down on the bed by his legs, then thinking that might not be a smart idea, instead took a step back. "Didn't say when."
Shit...He looked...Awful. Really awful. She ran a hand up into her hair and began to pace back and forth a little as she looked at him and took in what details she could get. And none of them were reassuring. She hadn't stepped up into superspeed, just pacing. It was necessary to think.
What to do. What to do. What to fucking do.
"So." She started, her voice sounding about as worried as she felt before shaking it off and trying to sound normal. "While I'm here can I uh...Get you something. Water. Food. Uh...Something other then that." Daphne pointed to the mess covering his ruined hand. The more she looked at it the more she very much wanted to do something about it, but the what the hell she would do she wasn't even sure. She wasn't a doctor. Hell, she wasn't even one of the supposed doctors here.
She shifted nervously, watching him breathe and damn it felt slow. Everything did.
