If God had a name, what would it be?

[st_joan]

When Joan fell asleep, she was in a hospital bed.

She definitely isn't anymore. She is, in fact, asleep on one of the couches in the lobby, curled up in a hospital blanket, and looking rather miserable, even in her sleep.

It's been a rough couple days for Joan, questioning how much of the past year has been real.

And Cecily has been on the lookout for her since she took her out. So when she notices her on the couch, in a hospital robe and wrapped up in a hospital blanket... Well.

Cecily goes and gets somebody (Kaylee, it turns out - she's stronger than you'd think, and not too pregnant yet) to help her carry Joan upstairs to Cecily's room. She kicks Gordon and Luther out (they're not doing anything but sitting there ignoring each other anyway), and they put Joan on Gordon's bunk - the bottom. She's still sleeping. Kaylee leaves softly, and Cecily drags the desk chair over beside the bed and sits there, worried, smoothing Joan's hair out of her face, and waiting for her to wake up.

It's a while before Joan wakes, and when she does she blinks around her in confusion, as anyone does waking up in a place they didn't fall asleep in.

"Where-" And then she realizes who's sitting at her bedside, and sits bolt upright, even though it made his head spin. "What're you doing here? I told you, if you're just going to sit here and stare, I don't want you. Get out!"

"Hey," Cecily says gently, reaching out to push Joan back down on the bed. "You're sick, you need rest. Lay down, okay? You're in the Inn. My room."

"I didn't know God needed a room," Joan mumbles. And then she pauses, and looks a little like she wants to cry when she asks quietly, "You're talking to me?"

Viktor's managed to at least find a room by now, and after a surprisingly good night's rest, he makes his way into the lobby... mostly to find food. Instead, what he finds is what appears to be a girl, curled up in blankets... and definitely looking as if she belongs anywhere but on the couch. He approaches carefully and speaks very softly...

"... Miss?"

Joan stirs a little, coming awake slowly. She opens her eyes and blinks at Viktor in confusion when she does.

"Wh-" And then she realizes she's in the Inn, and sighs a little. For all she knows, she's just still crazy and imagining this. Though why her mind would randomly come up with some new person for her delusion she doesn't know, she's not sure. "Oh. Here."

[vratsa_seeker]

"Are you all right, miss? Do you need a Healer?"

Viktor's no stranger to illness, as living in a draughty castle will do that to you...

She shakes her head a little, as an answer to both questions. It makes her kind of dizzy.

"I was at the hospital before. ...I probably still am, actually."
