The lights were off, and though the door was open a crack, Lorna had made the room as dark as she possibly could. Luckily, the curtains had been replaced and were heavy enough to keep the light out. She sat on top of the covers, wearing an over-sized t-shirt, and her jeans, barefoot. She was resting her head on an icepack that was quickly becoming a lukewarm pack.

She'd have to switch it out soon, or pop another pain killer. Had it been long enough, she wondered, the migraine was bad enough to blur the numbers on the clock by her bed, which was just flashing 12:00 anyway. She could tell.

It figured. She had gotten back into school only to have her health take her out again.

Lorna was already sitting up and trying to sort out the homework on her bed. She felt... sluggish, but better. The headache now was something she could attribute to sleeping so much. Those she had gotten long before the migraines started showing up, and those would respond to over the counter pain killers.

She looked up at the knock on the door, "Come in," she called back. She wasn't overly surprised that Kitty was stopping by. Kitty seemed to check on her a lot, which wasn't a bad thing.

She opened the door and poked her head in before entering all the way. "Hey," she said with a smile. it was true about Kitty checking on Lorna a lot. She'd done the same with every other girl on the floor if they were sick or struggling with something. She wasn't sure when she'd become so much of a mother hen, but the role seemed to suit her well.

"I saw Erik leaving and just wanted to pop in and see how the meeting with him went." Lorna was sitting up and looking at what seemed to be homework. That in and of itself spoke well for the situation. "How are you feeling?"

	"Kind of... heavy," Lorna said, "But better. And completely behind on everything," she said, muttering the last as she tried to figure out exactly where to get her start. She hated being behind on anything, let alone academic work. "I'm not completely sure what he did, but it helped." (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

"Better is good." She couldn't help but smile somewhat fondly at the last sentence muttered. As a student, Kitty had been the exact same way so she could empathize completely. "When was the last time you had something to eat? I know when the headaches get really bad for most people, they can't really stomach much of anything." She bit her lip, then added, "You know no one is expecting you to have everything completed the day after you're starting to feel better, right?"

Lorna stopped to think about it. Surprised that she had to, but she supposed being a bit slow (but no less smart) was a side effect of not having the crippling pain. She could deal with it. The more she thought about it, she realized she hadn't had anything to eat, other than water or juice to take the painkillers with.

Which would explain the lightheadedness, "I don't think I've had anything today," she said finally and glanced back down at the work, "I... know, but I don't like not having it done." It was sitting there, taunting her after all.

	"Tell you what, you get started on all of that, and I'll go get you something to eat." Dinner would be soon, but given that Lorna literally just started feeling better, it was safe to assume that it would be all right if she ate in her room tonight. "Anything in particular that you'd like?" She gave a small bow. "The kitchen is now taking orders, madame." (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	"Um... Salad, I guess? Or just something light," Lorna mused. She was hungry, but she wasn't sure what for, "I mean, I don't want to be too much trouble." (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	Kitty resisted the urge to give Lorna a small hug. Instead, she got up and opened the door. "Salad it is, then. I'll bring you some water, too." She winked. "You're no trouble at all, Lorna. It makes me feel good to be able to finally do something for you." (Reply to this) (Parent)
