[151] Rex talks a lot. // Voice.

[Throughout most of this, Rex sounds pretty calm and ~thoughtful~, rather than his usual rageful when he makes speeches.]

Do you know why I chose Sveta for my nanomites?  She was one of the first wardens injected, if I remember correctly.  [He pauses, thinking about how he wants to phrase this.]  It wasn't just to

[Her words are all slurred and mushed together.]

I can hardly even follow whateverthefuck happened...

[She couldn't really follow what Rex had to say either, lolol]

[Pause.

Pause.

Pauuuuuse....]

Go back to sleep.

I haven't slept in like 20 hours, insomnia is a part of this shit.

Do you need any... [PILLZZZZZ.] tea?

Re: Private - [VOICE]

[A WISE CHANGE, REX. Amanda would have gotten all upset at the suggestion of any medication; all she's allowing for treatment is IV hydration, and that's because she sort of needs it to keep from dehydrating to death.]

Yeah. Please. Herbal, not...that shit with the milk in it. I'm not gonna keep it down that long to start with. Don't need extras making it worse.

Right. How's chamomile?

Private - [VOICE] - maybe spam?

[creatingalegacy]

Good. That would be...good.

[Rex hadn't set foot in the Infirmary since the people stopped coming in with curse-related injuries. He'd slumped back to his room and passed right out, awaking only to take a long-awaited shower. Now, he's rested and ready to return-- although he's just visiting for now. With a tray of two cups of tea in hand, he approaches Amanda's bed and sets it down on the bedside table.]

How are you-- No. I'll spare you a question with an obvious answer.

[Amanda takes a cup from the tray with jittery hands. She looks like death warmed over, to make it short and simple.]

I feel fucking terrible...but stronger than I expected to be.

[She takes a small sip of the tea. Just the warmth and the smell are comforting.]

He thought he could turn me into an addict again. That my warden would be...grateful to see that I was a lost cause.

[He takes his own cup, blowing on the liquid.]

Why would your warden be grateful? How deluded... [Frowning, he took a sip.] I want to kill him.

Re: SPAM

[creatingalegacy]

So do I.

[The fact that someone else--the only person she actually considers a friend--wants him dead too heartens her a little.]

What the fuck happened while I've been sick? I tried to observe but it's just too much...

[He snorts.] Sveta showed herself for what she really is, cursed the entire Barge because she wished it would go down, and then everybody played to her ego to try to make her stop. When that didn't work, an inmate shot her, and now she's a martyr.

Re: SPAM

[creatingalegacy]

[Amanda's silent for a few moments as she sips her tea again. Finally:]

We'll see.

[She's too out of it to really consider anything--hell, she didn't even bother to ask Rex what he knew about Sveta's current power level--but it still makes her angry. The thought of her being a martyr is simply unacceptable to Amanda. People must be held accountable.]

Re: SPAM

[stopthat_destro]

It's the Barge, and she's a warden. Nothing will happen. [He scoffs and takes another sip.]

Re: SPAM

[creatingalegacy]

'Course not--

[She coughs. Somehow, she swallowed wrong and caused a tickle in her throat.]

Not at the hands of the other wardens.

Re: SPAM

[stopthat_destro]

[He watches Amanda as she coughs, getting ready to stand and help her, then settles back when she's finished.]

Please. Anything happens now, she'll be even more of a saint in their eyes.
