Who: Hal and Fiona
When: Early Evening
Where: University of Michigan Medical Center
Hal had dozed off a couple of times in the waiting room. He'd gone home long enough to fetch himself some proper clothing and call Julianna to ask if she'd come and have a go at mending Fiona's injuries. They were well beyond the pitiful amount of white magic he knew and he hadn't been able to reach Priscilla. And he'd rather cut off his own arm than call Harri. Not that the bastard would answer.
"Mr. Killborne." A very tired, stern looking nurse was standing in front of him. The one who'd tried to send him home a few times before. "She's out of surgery and awake for a little while. You can see her now."
It took a moment for Hal's addled brains to compute what she'd said. He felt like utter shite. Everything ached and he was terribly nauseous. He was blaming the cuts, back strain and the bastard tetanus shot they'd subjected him to. Bloody hell, even water tried to come back up.
He slowly rose to his feet, sparing the nurse a bit of a wry smile. "Thanks," he said as she walked him to a room. Clearly, she wasn't keen on him visiting Fiona. He wondered if it was because of him ignoring his own injuries stupidly or the fact he was clearly almost twice Fiona's age.
Not that he bloody cared. He waited until the shrew left before he limped further into the room. "Fiona, love?" he said softly as he reached the first curtain. His heart was in his throat about what he might see. She'd had a building dropped on her, after all.
