The name Solomon Reed is a familiar one, like an echo from a dream, and it makes sense that he was the one on a number of levels. The Imperial March never seemed to play when he entered a room with his affable face, at least. But still, Adelaide shakes her head as she thinks it over. "If Jims' revolution reached all the way up to that level it don't seem like it can wait til he gets back to keep pressing on," she murmurs, thinking aloud. "That's the kind of momentum you need."
But as Sarge kicks into action Adelaide remembers herself, the situation, and there's plenty of time for thinking after Teagan's been looked after. So often Adelaide subscribes to the idea that these rough and tumble officers don't need much tending outside of duct tape and a good meal, but if ever one of them did it's right now. While Sarge goes after the pills she retrieves the heating pad he muttered about - already plugged in behind the sofa bed because her toes get cold at night, and she still hasn't conned Sarge into sleeping by her consistently. "He's right," she murmurs to Teagan, while Sarge gruffly goes about the business of taking care of her, something he would have been far too embarrassed to do for the vast majority of people. He's always had a soft spot for Teagan, as far as Addie can tell. "They had their doubts. Some more than others," she says simply, not with the expectation of a response, or even the expectation that it will ease Teagan's mind, so much as just to have said what she knows is true.
Adelaide moves at Sarge's question, slipping in to look through the box. She can't help the odd tangential realization that Sarge is, very vaguely, acknowledging the idea that Adelaide was once pregnant and would know this - usually with Sarge and her brother there is very much an air of certainty that Charlie sprang up from the ground already formed, like some kind of potato. Maybe this is a small sign of progress. Her fingers tip a few bottles this way and that but without much ruckus she plucks up a bottle of plain old Tylenol. "This late on Tylenol is safe," she says. "Ibuprofen would be better for swelling, but she shouldn't have that."
