"You'll have to tell her some of your fun stories if she comes by. If you don't have half the office in here some afternoon just to check on you." Hell, if he went to read the actual paper there might have even been a mention of it and get well wishes. Bast would never call Penny their little mascot or anything, but she was going to be missed the longer she was in this evil hospital.
Well it is one way to have a private conversation considering how many ears might be around here. Thought it would be rude not to warn you and have you wondering why I'm trying to keep a straight face when you're not saying anything. She could project rather loudly, especially when he was trying just to focus in on her. It was still just surface thoughts though as they passed through her head. He was going to have to remember some aspirin if he was going to keep onto that for too long. At the same time he wasn't so sure he could just keep his hands to himself the entire time.
"Well we're all glad that you're not slipping into some coma that is going to last forever. I was starting to worry after the first day." Thankfully his own thoughts just stayed firmly in his head of his time waiting. He had stayed because he wanted to rather than feeling obligated to it. But you don't think that the argument agitated things along a little faster? I'm the last one to guilt anyone about going to the doctor considering I don't much like them myself. Though I did not too long ago. That was really something he didn't want her mother possibly walking in on the middle of mentioning.
