room 316 - wednesday after work - 10/29
Liir felt...

Yesterday, as much as spending time with Amber had been lovely, he'd done something he knew he shouldn't have and now the Unnamed God was taking his Very Specifically Named revenge upon the inside of his skull.

It was still ridiculous, beyond lightweight into featherweight into simply pathetic, but that didn't make it go away. As such, while the door was propped open just a sliver so the room didn't get stuffy and make things even worse, Liir was mostly face down on his bed trying to push the pain away like he did for other things. Unfortunately, when it was in his head, his focus was shot to the point where such a plan of action was not a viable solution. Dammit.

	Ino was hardly to sort to, you know, not barge into a room when she felt she had a right, so the door being opened a crack was enough invitation to her. "Liir?" she chirped, poking her head in. A beat. "What're you doing?" (Reply to this) (Thread)

	"Resting my eyes. And my head. And my neck. And everything else." He looked up and smiled at her, though, as much as there was a bit of a wince to the smile. (Reply to this) (Parent)(Thread)

	"...what did you do to yourself?" she asked, shutting the door and wandering over to sit on his bed without so much as a by-your-leave. (Reply to this) (Parent)(Thread)

	"Had two shots at Caritas last night. Which was... oh, two too many." (Reply to this) (Parent)(Thread)

	flowering_mind 2008-10-29 07:24 pm UTC (link)
	... "Do I want to know why?" she asked dubiously. (Reply to this) (Parent)(Thread)

	He shook his head. "I was just there for cola." Because if he mentioned why, he'd have to mention Amber, and that was more possible loudness than he felt like dealing with for the moment if he didn't have to. (Reply to this) (Parent)(Thread)

	And the whole not mentioning thing was one of many reasons Ino was so sick of Amber. "Want me to try dealing with the headache?" she asked dryly. "Cola doesn't do that to people." (Reply to this) (Parent)(Thread)

	"Much appreciated," he said with a small smile. "The tea's helped. But anything you'd like to try... I trust you." (Reply to this) (Parent)(Thread)

	She shifted so she was closer to his head, one hand starting to glow a soft green as she concentrated. "I'm not particularly useful at more than headaches," Ino said, choosing not to address any of what he'd said while placing her hand over his forehead. "When it comes to the head, at least. The brain's a lot beyond my level of training right now." (Reply to this) (Parent)(Thread)

	new_to_liirness 2008-10-29 07:50 pm UTC (link)
	"I'm working on my brain," he said, making sure not to lean too much towards her hands. "At least I've got one. Better off than some, really. My head's another matter, and one I'm glad you're here for." He was glad she was here anyway. (Reply to this) (Parent)(Thread)

	flowering_mind 2008-10-29 07:58 pm UTC (link)
	"You're rambling," she said, most of her concentration on her hand, and his head. (Reply to this) (Parent)(Thread)

	new_to_liirness 2008-10-29 08:01 pm UTC (link)
	He swallowed and shut up. After a moment's thought, he closed his eyes as well. He didn't want to be a pest while she was trying to help him. (Reply to this) (Parent)(Thread)

	flowering_mind 2008-10-29 08:03 pm UTC (link)
	She didn't mind him talking, but working even on a headache was different from a cut, or a bruise, and she was glad of it. Slowly, the headache should be fading. (Reply to this) (Parent)(Thread)

	It was, and though he didn't say anything, it was probably obvious enough. His arms flexed and he tilted his head just a little in relief; his breathing as well came much easier. (Reply to this) (Parent)(Thread)

	flowering_mind 2008-10-29 08:14 pm UTC (link)
	It was a few moments more, when she'd pushed the pain further away, that Ino moved her hand away to rest in her lap while letting the glow fade. "Better?" (Reply to this) (Parent)(Thread)

	new_to_liirness 2008-10-29 08:17 pm UTC (link)
	He nodded, almost cheerful, before moving aside on the bed if she'd like to sit with him. "Thank you." (Reply to this) (Parent)(Thread)

	flowering_mind 2008-10-29 08:20 pm UTC (link)
	She flopped a bit more on his bed, leaning towards him. "For you? No problem." (Reply to this) (Parent)(Thread)

	new_to_liirness 2008-10-29 08:30 pm UTC (link)
	He offered an arm. "The privilege is appreciated," he assured her as he lay back. He breathed in deeply, thoughtfully, and turned to look at her. "Would you mind helping me this weekend?" (Reply to this) (Parent)(Thread)

	flowering_mind 2008-10-29 08:33 pm UTC (link)
	"Depends on what for," she said, hugging the offered arm. (Reply to this) (Parent)(Thread)

	new_to_liirness 2008-10-29 08:38 pm UTC (link)
	He grinned just a little, but it was obvious he was a little nervous about the whole thing. "Going back to Oz. Investigating. Trying to see what might have happened to my father, see if he can go back." (Reply to this) (Parent)(Thread)

	flowering_mind 2008-10-29 08:41 pm UTC (link)
	"Oh, that," she said, dry as the desert, "didn't I already say I would?" Really. If he thought she'd let him go without her then he'd be in for a rude awakening. (Reply to this) (Parent)(Thread)

	new_to_liirness 2008-10-29 08:44 pm UTC (link)
	"You did," he admitted, "but I wanted to ask and make sure you didn't have plans. After all, it's not exactly all that pressing." (Reply to this) (Parent)(Thread)

	flowering_mind 2008-10-29 08:49 pm UTC (link)
	She grinned at him. "Just have to get someone to cover me for clinic, then I'm good to go." (Reply to this) (Parent)(Thread)

	new_to_liirness 2008-10-29 08:52 pm UTC (link)
	He nodded. "I might invite one or two others," he said. "Mostly because they've asked. And because the more people around me, the less likely it will be that I'll be noticed." He grin was a bit wry. "I'm a little less of a nonentity than I'd like to be." (Reply to this) (Parent)(Thread)

	flowering_mind 2008-10-29 08:54 pm UTC (link)
	Ino made a bit of a face. "Who else, do you think? And you always stand out, Liir." (Reply to this) (Parent)(Thread)(Expand)
