Such a desperate place...

Mar 10, 2008 21:38

The world is spinning, and Cole Anderson's knees hit the carpeted floor dully. Things go in and out of focus, and as he leans forward, his fingers splayed out before him on the printed carpeting ( Read more... )

"You fell," says a distant, dreamy voice - a girl's voice, sounding much younger than the girl looks, and definitely much younger than she actually is. She may or may not be speaking literally, or figuratively. Or both. She's quite capable of that.

Kara walks over ad drops down to kneel in front of Cole, studying his face for a moment before she adds, "If you sit still long enough, a search party might come looking for you. They're doing that tonight."

And now she's snarking at people who aren't in the room to hear. Of course, she can hear all of those idiots in her head right about now, so it hardly matters to her whether they're actually in the room... but it might confuse poor Cole.

Cole raises his head to look at the person the voice belongs to, but then a sudden stab of pain blows through his head and he's dizzy again. He lowers his head back to his knees and moans in reply.

Kara gasps softly at the same time the stabbing pain lances through Cole's head, her hand flying up to her forehead as she winces in pain. She backs away unconsciously, putting a little distance between the two of them. It doesn't help, much, but distance does have some factor in it.

Taking one deep breath, then two, Cole glances up. "What the hell?" he croaks, his voice hoarse, his throat aching. "Who... who are you?"

Johnny Smith tends to spend time near the Rift, knowing what it's like to go through it and the immediate confusion that follows... he figures it's good to keep watch and help those who happen through it.

The boy comes through and Johnny's at his side as soon as the vomiting happens with a hand on his back.

"It's okay. You're all right." He doesn't know this for sure, obviously, but the words are quiet, hopefully, comforting.

Cole coughs and sputters again. The taste is still in his mouth and it's disgusting. Taking a deep breath, he lets it out slowly.

"Head... hurts..." he mutters, not really sure why this is the first thing out of his mouth. It's true, though. His head is pounding and this isn't helping the naseous feeling. He just hopes he's not going to throw up again.

Johnny is very much aquainted with having his head hurt. A lot.

"All right. Just take it easy." He's going to stay there, kneeling by the boy until he can get a hold of himself. "We can get you to the medical room. There's pain medication there."

Cole pauses, his eyes still closed, trembling. Medication. He's come to hate that word, but really, right now, being able to just sleep until all this pain is out of his head would really, really be appreciated.

He shivers. "Mm... mkay," he mumbles. Mr. Mumbles. A teddy bear from a long, long time ago. Oh god. He really wanted to pass out now.
