he'll hear a soft song, beautiful and incomprehensible, low and background in her thoughts every so often... whoa.
anyway she's here, she's healing but her wounds are as follows: a large, deep claw mark from her shoulder down to her hip - if it was any deeper it might have done spinal damage. severely burned, across her face and under her clothes, and it looks like whatever explosion happened made her wounds fuse halfway shut, so that's... good? her right leg is completely shattered, she cannot use it at all right now. and she has... bites? like, not teeth bites. it looks more like a lot of very big spider bites. she's not stabbed anywhere thankfully. mostly it just looks like something or many somethings were trying to tear her apart.
she's staring at the wall when he comes in, but she looks at him when he says her name, so that's probably a good sign. a beat. ]
[ sorry for what you went through... and sorry for subjecting rupert to a thought share of a blurry powerpoint quality vision of a guy in a familiar yellow coat getting thrown and splattered into a wall by this thing. ]
Yeah. I think he would have rather known... But I get how even that's frustrating, too. Like he just thinks it's fine if that kind of thing happens, right?

...Can I get you anything? Water, painkillers?

she pulls her blanket closer to her. ]
M'okay. [ raspy voiced, tired. ] You don't need to get anything.
no subject
[after a moment:]
Do you want to talk about what happened?
no subject
[ but she knows what he's going to say, so: ]
I know, I know. [ it still sucks, it still leaves damage ]
no subject
I'm not going to push you into talking about it, at least. I'm just sorry for whatever you went through.

he startles a little bit because what the fuck!! surprised enough that he asks on instinct:]
Is that what hurt you?

a beat, and then kind of choked out: ]
-- Yeah. Yeah, it. I went after it. After that.
no subject
Do you know what it was...? Some kind of monster, obviously, but...

I was supposed to protect them from it.

[pausing for a moment]
I know it doesn't change what happened, but - I'm sure he'd tell you it wasn't your fault even if it was really him.
no subject
[ rubs at her face. ]
I told him, and he shrugged at me. I would've punched him if I'd felt up to it.
[ CARE MORE ABOUT YOURSELF YOU DUMB NOBLE ]

[ this is so uncalled for and she pauses. ]
-- Sorry.
no subject
...No, I'm sorry. You're right, I shouldn't have said that.
no subject
You didn't mean it in a bad way.
no subject
[kind of half as a joke, hoping it'll break the tension.]
no subject
... He takes so many beatings already, I just - I don't want him to take more. That's all. I shouldn't have told him what happened.
