"Oh," Zaine said. He looked down to his lap for a moment, rather embarrassed that he had interpreted her sentence that way. The contents of Ioan's letter were still heavy on his mind. He looked up just in time to spot Donella waving from the counters. Thinking it odd to wave from where he sat, he simply smiled and nodded his head in acknowledgment.
Ava looked to him then over tot he counters at the group over there. Oh boy. "Um, who are they?" She asked softly as if they would hear her.
Zaine frowned slightly as he considered what to say. His roommate's friends? His friends? "Just some girls," he said stupidly, immediately regretting his choice of words during and after. "...That were in the same biology class as I," he quickly added. He then grabbed his glass and took large, slow swallow. If they came over, they could introduce themselves.
Anuerin sat back in the wheelchair as Ryker withdrew. Lowering his head he dried his face, before looking up at Ryker's words. Meeting his gaze he studied Ryker's eyes and the sincerity that shone in them. He couldn't trust his hearing at first, but Ryker's physical appearance bore evidence of the genuine expression of love. "I love you too, dad." He admittedly quietly, smiling solemnly with the realization it was not only the first time he told Ryker he loved him, but it was the first time he called him dad as an affectionate term instead of in hate.
Ava nodded and looked back to the group for a moment, almost studying them before looking back to her food and setting her drawing aside a little to eat and drink
"Nice to meet you. I'm sorry, I'm a bit much to take in at first, I know." Andorra admitted.
"" Decisions, decisions." Said the dog between the hydrant and the tree. I'll leave it up to Amara. " Dimitri said respectfully.
"You get to eat as much as you like. I guess they don't want hungry predators walking around." Dimitri replied with humor.
"Understatement," Alexis said, just loud enough for Dimitri to hear. Andorra was certainly a handful, but one that was worth it.
Zaine didn't mind the silence that settled between them. She seemed to have little to say, as did he, so he simply leaned back in his chair and watched her drawing.
Ryker smiled touched by his choice of words. "Get some rest son, what the anti-venom work. I'll watch over you while you sleep." He replied gently.
"Alright," Anuerin answered softly. He felt unusually tired and weak, but hadn't mentioned it for fear of missing the chance to converse with his father.
What room are Ryker and Anuerin in? I need to know if Amaryllis and Vasper are going to the room that they're in. Also, does this room have a hospital bed? I need to know if Anuerin's expected to sleep in his wheelchair or not
