wake up time

[cardinalsinned]

[ This is probably the second worst way to wake up, in a hospital bed with Juan there watching. ]

What... happened to me?

Comments

[cardinalsinned]

Fine. Do as you please.

[ And he'll be home, hurting and angry by the time Juan gets back from his little trip ]

[foundjuanting]

[Yeah, he'll be home later, clearly out of it.]

[cardinalsinned]

[ Flopped on the couch, feeling awful and clearly angry ]

So you decided to come back.

[foundjuanting]

[Very clearly wobbly and leaning on the wall]

I always do.

[cardinalsinned]

You were so eager to escape me earlier. Did Spain now ant to make room for you?

[foundjuanting]

No, I took in some reading.

[cardinalsinned]

That is what's more important than your own brother?

[foundjuanting]

You have never minded in the past, you even enjoyed it.

[Going to flop on the couch]

[cardinalsinned]

I needed your help earlier and you left. I suppose you think of it as payback.

[foundjuanting]

Then shall we consider us even?

['Sup, spacey voice here.]

[maleborgia]

*walking in through Canada's front door, completely nonchalant*

[foundjuanting]

[Oh. Hi. Have a passed out borgia with a cup of wine nearby]

[maleborgia]

Why am I not surprised?

*moving the wine further away*

[foundjuanting]

[ew, gritty bits in the bottom

But there's a little noise in his sleep.]

[maleborgia]

*just going to choose to ignore that for the moment, filing it away for later.

sitting down next to Juan, putting his hand on his arm, or shoulder, whichever is nearer.*

Juan. Can you wake up?

[foundjuanting]

[sluggishly moving, slightly]

...Haveyou returned? Or are you a dream?

[maleborgia]

Yes, I am back. I am no more a dream than anything else in this place.

[foundjuanting]

Where have you gone? ... No, you are back, where did you go? Did you see our brother fall ill?

[cardinalsinned]

[ If Juan is passed out already then Dali is upstairs packing up Picasso's stuff ]

[maleborgia]

*standing in the doorway, having already talked about what happened with Juan*

So soon? I would be hardly cold in the ground.

[cardinalsinned]

[ A little surprised, but he's hurting too much to jump ]

It was for the best, since Juan refused to believe it possible.

[maleborgia]

It was rash; I would have expected you to at least wait a week.

*and entering*

How are you feeling?

[cardinalsinned]

Better he face reality, even when reality changes.

I am well enough. Sore and tired, but well.

[maleborgia]

What happened to you? *closing the door behind him* Juan could only tell me that you would not wake.

[cardinalsinned]

I don't know. Only that I slept and woke in the hospital.

[ He'll help unpack what he's started to pack ]
