“Ah, of course.” She smiled, “I’ll just have to talk to the doctor about what type of medication to give him, can he wait a few minutes?”

Avery nodded and looked back at Thomas. She smiled at him softly
group
The nurse left the room to go tell the doctor Thomas was awake.
Thomas lifted a hand to his nose, “Nn..I’m fine..”
"No you're not. So suck it up." Avery gave him the look
group
Thomas blinked, “But I…I’m not complaining…” he rested his head back on the pillow.
Avery grabbed her book and flipped it back open.
group
He closed his eyes to rest, groaning a little bit more until the doctor came back.
"Where are you going to go after this?" Avery asked after a few minutes of silence
group
“I don’t know..” he sighed through his nose, “I’ll probably check into a hotel until I can get a plane back to Canada.” He stared up at the ceiling while the doctor looked him over and checked his vitals.
Avery nodded. "What part of canada are you from?" She asked, crossing her legs
group
“Calgary, Alberta.” He answered, wincing when the doctor touched his leg.
The Doctor absentmindedly apologized.
Avery nodded. Her eyes flickered to the doctor before back to Thomas.
group
The doctor gave him some more medicine through the IV after his examination.
"Feel better?" Avery asked him after he was given more medicine.
group
Thomas looked over to her and smiled, “Not yet.”
"Well you will soon." Avery assured him.
group
“Hah…probably.” He rested his head back against the pillow, “Thank you…”
"You don't need to thank me. Just get better." Avery smiled at him
group
Thomas nodded once, a small smile forming across his face, “Once I get better, I’ll get out of your hair so you can continue life as normal. I suppose I’ve thrown off your schedule, I apologize for that.” He didn’t seem too sorry at first glance, just peacefully happy.
"You have no reason to be sorry. None of this is your fault. I just want to make sure you're better." Avery said sincerely.
group
Thomas smiled gratefully, “You Are an anomaly, miss Avery. Most anyone I know would rather care for themselves instead of taking care of someone else…that includes me.”
Avery blushed and bit her lip, lowering her gaze to the hands in her lap. "Its nothing really. I just want to make sure you're alright."
group
Thomas sighed as the drugs began kicking in, “Awe…you’re so sweet.” He breathed loopily, “I’m getting tired again.”
Avery nibbled on her lip before bringing a hand up and pushing back his hair. "Go to sleep." She said softly.
group
Thomas’ eyelids fell halfway down, “Nn…goodnight, ‘very,” he loopily smiled to her before closing his eyes all the way. He drifted off to sleep easily with the help of the drugs. He dreamed of Siberia and, this time, Avery..
Avery waited until she was sure he was asleep before she grabbed her book and opened it up again. She would have to go home soom, check on his dog, shower, get new clothes. But she didn't want to leave just yet
group
Thomas slept peacefully with an arm sling over his midsection. His hair was a tangled mess over the pillow, having not had to chance to brush it or completely clean himself up yet after the accident. At least he was generally clean apart from his hair.
Avery sat comfortably in the chair, pulling her knees up to her chest. She yawned quietly before focusing her attention back on her book
group
Thomas stirred in his sleep once or twice, but generally he was a quiet sleeper. He didn't even snore.
