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?

*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?

[maleborgia]

I went with Guy to the forest. What happened to Cesare?

[foundjuanting]

He fell asleep and would not wake until today. You should see him, he is now home from the hospital.

[maleborgia]

Wait. *hand up* When was he there?

[foundjuanting]

From a few days ago until now.

[reaching for the cup and- oh, nocup :<]

[maleborgia]

No, he wasn't.

[ 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 ]

[maleborgia]

*good.*

I don't know anything, either. I walked into the forest with Guy of Gisborne and came out alone, several days later.

[cardinalsinned]

We left Juan alone for some time. I should check that all of my things are still where they were left.

[maleborgia]

I wish I could accuse you of being too harsh. No, for this at least you are not acting rashly. Help me check here first, while we are already inside.

[cardinalsinned]

I would give everything I own to have Micheletto here. It would be a weight off my mind to have his help again.

[ Putting things back where he found them is a good start to figuring out what's gone. ]

[maleborgia]

*putting things away*

I felt that way too. *about my own Miguel, obviously* It would be much easier at times.
