Giving a yawn and pushing himself up so that he could see her, he groaned. Her voice was not a voice he wanted to hear first thing after waking up - she always seemed to nag him and after Alice had nagged his ears off enough earlier, he wasn't in the mood to hear it from someone else. "You can't get rid of me that easily," he muttered, reaching up and rubbing at his left eye.

"Mum's the only one who does that," he said simply and with a shrug of the shoulders. "And I don't think the healers in this ward are brazen enough to kiss a patient." He kept his eyes level with hers, trying to figure out just what the hell she had been doing by doing -- that. They hated each other, or at least that's what he thought and her actions seemed to validate that. He didn't hate her nearly as much when he met her and he would admit that she was attractive enough, but she drove him bloody insane.
