By the time Ava has gone upstairs, showered, and come back down in a tank top and little sweater (aaaand the very lovely, very ambitious high heels that she found just lying there by the door), she feels generally more relaxed

(Michael hadn't been having that great of a day. Fortunately, he was now out of the hospital, unlike his brother G.O.B., who had just had his index and middle fingers switched around after having had them severed during a magic show. [ cut to: buster slicing g.o.b.'s fingers off onstage, to the somewhat shocked - but pleased - applause of the crowd. ]

Needless to say, this was still one of the Bluth family's better days.)

Coming into the bar, Michael doesn't look entirely well, probably the result of having had a few too many operations for his own good, in addition to having been under a few too many sedatives. Still, he's able to recognize Ava, and he comes over to the bar, still a little shaky on his feet, but cordial nonetheless.

"Hey there. Long time no see, huh?"

"My doctor was a little --"

Michael waves a hand.

"-- weird. Overconfident? I'm not sure what word to use."

(The word to use would be 'psychopathic.')

Ava lets out a noise a little like a squeak.

"Did he just think you would, like, not notice?"

Do you notice when people leave things in your body post-surgically?

"I - don't think so," he responds, following a moment's hesitation.

"I mean, it was the first thing he told me after I woke up."

(It wasn't the best news Michael could have thought of receiving.)

She nods, gradually lowering her hand.

"That is so odd."

"Well, I'm out of the hospital now," Michael says, tone a little apologetic, presumably because of the apparent horror that's on Ava's face.

Ava reaches out to pat his shoulder gently.

"And you're okay?"

Also known as are you no longer full of scissors???
