Clinic (basically the entirety of June 8)(for her, all the time) intangible_girl June 9 2011, 03:50:43 UTC

Ingrid has been pacing within her bubble deep in the clinic for hours, desperate for news of the fuss going on in the operating room, but knowing better than to distract anyone's attention with useless questioning. So she paces, hoping someone will come and tell her why the sudden influx of people, if anyone was hurt in the draft, and (selfishly, but insistently) if any of her equipment is getting messed with mid-sterilization process.

It was during one of those periods where he's allowed in the room near Kennedy's bedside that Giles first took note of Ingrid. Well...he saw the bubble, and he saw a figure inside of it. Both were pacing...back and forth, back and forth...

Needless to say, Ingrid might notice Giles staring at her after a while. Staring at her, but without any real sign of recognition. For one thing, he's still half blind, and for another...no one ever told him about the bubble.

"Can I... help you?"

Her voice is soft and tentative. You're kind of freaking her out, but if you're a friend of whoever was injured (there must be someone injured, considering all the fuss) she's prepared to give you some slack.

...huh. Giles blinks muzzily, looking a little startled to hear her voice.

"...Ingrid? It...is Ingrid, yes? The scientist?

Are you here for Kennedy?"

intangible_girl June 10 2011, 03:07:51 UTC

"Giles? Yes. Yes, it's me.

Uh, Kennedy? No. I... don't know who that is."

Wait. He can't see. She draws one finger down the plastic wall of the enclosure, and looks at the floor rather than meet his blind eyes.

"I, uh... live here."

He stares at her blankly for a few seconds...it's been a hellish week and new information processes slowly. But then, eventually, comprehension dawns and he nods.

"Robert did mention once that you weren't...weren't well...

...sorry if we're disturbing you." He nods vaguely towards the bay where Kennedy is being kept. "One catastrophe after another, I'm afraid."

intangible_girl June 10 2011, 03:13:11 UTC

Not well.

That's one way of putting it.

"What happened? If you don't mind my asking."

consultmybooks June 10 2011, 03:15:20 UTC

"A friend of ours' - his name is Kennedy - was attacked in his apartment just a while ago. Stabbed with some sort of knife.

Fortunately, his flatmate found him before he could, could bleed out. McCoy's been working on him a while. Looks as though he'll probably pull through."

He knew more than that, of course, or he suspected. They'd all been on edge suspecting a move from Grell for a while, now. But he didn't know for certain and there was no way in hell that he was getting Ingrid more directly involved.

intangible_girl June 10 2011, 03:22:40 UTC

Ingrid puts a hand over her slack jaw.

"Attacked...? By another villager?"

Fear grips her. Somehow this is worse than if it were related to the Malnosso.

consultmybooks June 10 2011, 03:31:40 UTC

"That's the most likely answer, yes."

intangible_girl June 10 2011, 03:34:26 UTC

"Do they know who? Why would someone do that? Is he alright?"

consultmybooks June 10 2011, 14:02:02 UTC

"We don't know. Not for certain."

Except, by and large, they do. He knows they do. They haven't exactly received confirmation, but...who else would attack Kennedy?

Except they weren't excepting Kennedy to be the target, and that is frustrating and upsetting beyond words...

Giles rubs irritably at his eyes.

"...he'll live."

intangible_girl June 10 2011, 17:16:35 UTC

"I'm glad to hear it." Slight hesitation, then: "What is being done?" Because something must.

consultmybooks June 12 2011, 23:36:02 UTC

Giles gestured in towards the ward. "McCoy's been at it for hours. Surgery, t-to heal up the damage done by the knife.

No word on when he'll be done, or when Kennedy will regain consciousness."

intangible_girl June 12 2011, 23:45:08 UTC

"No." Deep breath. "What is being done to find the culprit and make sure they don't do this again?"

consultmybooks June 13 2011, 16:42:14 UTC

"...Buffy's working on it. She has experience with these sorts of catastrophes." Tired sigh. "That's...really as far as you should concern yourself with it, Ingrid. I'm sorry, but the one who did this...who probably did this...is extraordinarily dangerous."

Almost unconsciously, Giles gets to his feet and begins pacing the hallway again.
