Juniper was in pain. Physical, mental, emotional...Was there another version? Spiritual? Yeah, she was that too. At least there was so much going through her head that was completely unrelated to what had happened to her that Edward wouldn't get wind of it. Edward. If he found out what had gone on that morning...She didn't want to think about it. He'd be completely uncontrollable. As if she could control him to begin with. But anyway, as it was, all she could think about was how badly her hand hurt, peppered with the occasional flash of irritation at the fact that the object of Edward's desire was in the City now too. Not only did that suck for Juniper, but it was going to suck for the Bella girl as well, because Juniper was definitely not letting her within a hundred meters of Edward. The last thing she wanted to witness was a blood bath, and she didn't want Edward to have to deal with the guilt of that afterward. Not to mention the fact that Jareth would rip him apart...

Anyway, after Edward promised to come over and look at her hand, Juniper tried to get dressed. Tried being the operative word. The attempt at getting the pair of jeans that had been provided on was abandoned, as she couldn't get her fingers to move enough to button them. Thankfully, she found a loose, elastic-wasted peasant skirt in the closet, and so Juniper was able to get that on with one hand, so that was good. A white fitted t-shirt, on the other hand, proved to be too much for her. She couldn't get her injured hand through the arm hole, and so was stuck with her shirt halfway on, cutting across her body in a diagonal line, with one arm and her head in place, but the rest of the fabric stuck on her opposite shoulder. She looked like she'd tried to put on a toga upside down.

Juniper fought with her clothes and then kicked her dresser, which only hurt her toes, again, and then fell face down on her bed and just laid there. She heard Edward's mind approaching and sighed. Fair warning, I'm not completely decent, but I can't change that, so you're just going to have to deal, she warned him, not bothering to get up. Door's unlocked.

Edward looked somewhat embarrassed at her 'praise', but smiled all the same. He was upset at himself for his lack of control but also and mostly a bit embarrassed by it. Here he was trying to be romantic and he'd practically mauled her. Way to be a gentleman, Edward, he chastised himself but ended up laughing a bit awkwardly. No one was hurt so he supposed it could be taken as funny.

Edward laughed and nodded. "Of course we'll feed you. It's even more important now that you're injured and have lost blood. You need to rebuild your strength and blood supply." He slipped into his shirt and buttoned it up quickly then kissed her on the forehead. "Shall we?"

Juniper, of course, heard that, and poked him in the stomach. "Be nice to yourself," she warned. "It was plenty romantic, and the only thing I'd change would be you runnin' off there at the end," she assured him, reaching up to cup his cheek, running her thumb along his skin. "You love me," she reminded him. "And hearing that, it made the day."

Nodding, Juniper slid her fingers through his, and once they were out of the woods, stopped at one of the stands to get herself something to eat before going up to Edward's room to snack and hear him play the piano. All in all, it was the most perfect day ever, even if it had started out less than wonderfully.
