Tangled Currents - Helena Options

Marta brightens considerable at your question. "I was told that I am doing well and that I might only have to be here another couple of weeks. I already told Lily that I would be coming back as soon as I could. Can't have you guys getting all the fun, right?"

[Renard]

"Nah, where's the fun in that, right ? I mean we could cram all the good stuff into those weeks to hoard them for ourselves, but it wouldn't be the same, would it ?" Lina winks at Marta mischievously. "Good to hear you'll be backj though, thats good news and I'm morte than happy top hear it." Especially in times like these. Although... There were still a lot of things not yet decided.

Marta almost laughs, but ends up coughing instead. She reaches over to get a glass of water and sips from it. "Hoo, that's better. Got to remember not to laugh just yet. But, yeah, I will be back as soon as I can. Say, Lily did not look too good when she came by yesterday. I think this has hit her a bit harder than she is letting on. Still, she is the toughest person I know and I am sure that she will come out of this just fine. How long can you stay?"

[Renard]

"Maybe. I'll keep an eye out for it, I don't really see her much, though. Mostly just on tzhe briefings and debriefings, really. Still, I don't really want to be in her position right now. I bet there are a lot of people she has to wory about." Not only her employes, also the hospital people and all that stuff from that side. Knowing some paperwork, Lina could imagine it was not really fun to deal with, and that was justz the official side of things... No, things most likely weren't easy right now. "Stay in what context ?"

Marta tries to smile and almost makes it. "As in here in this room. It is almost time for my meds and those tend to knock me out for a bit. Have you seen Greta yet?"

A nurse comes into the room carrying a tray with a couple of syringes. She walks to the head of the bed and begins fiddling with the IV feeds. Marta watches her for a moment then turns back to you as she settles down in the bed to get comfortable. "See what I mean? I will be out for about three hours. Thank you so much for coming."

[Renard]

"Not yet. I thought you got roughed up harder, so I came here first. I'm pretty happy you're awake and lucid. I didn't count too much on that, really. But then, I didn't know in what condition you were in the first place." Lina holds out her hand to Marta, but then goes for a very careful hug. Considering Martas injuries, it's about as awkward as it can get, but at this moment, she isn't too much in a mood to be concerned about that. "Don't mention it. I'll see if I can drop by another time. Make sure you get better. Want me to pass anything to anyone ?"

Marta returns the hug as best she can. As you stand up, you can tell that the drugs the nurse has inserted into the IV are starting to take effect. "Just let Lily know I will be there STAT." The nurse watches her for a few moments and makes a final check on the monitors then turns to leave, motioning for you to follow.

Once back in the hall, she turns to you. "Will you be staying longer, Miss? I can get a nice chair moved in if you like. She will be unconscious and sleeping for about three hours, though, so you have time to get something to eat if you are coming back."

[Renard]

"Will do." Lina waves and puts the chair back where she has got it from and follows the nurse outside silently. "No idea, I have a few more friends on my list, but if I still got time left, I'll be back. I don't think I need an extra chair though, but I appreciate the offer, thank you." She shortly looks back into the room and closes the door. Nodding at the nurse gratefully, she turns to re-join her tour guides. They wouldn't want those to get bored, would they ? She is quite happy with how things have gone so far, to say the least.

The two KE guys look at you and the nurse as you come out of the room. One of them turns his head to watch the nurse walk away, his mouth open in a slight O while the other asks you, "Are you done or got anyone else to see?"
