Re: [Recovery: Marta & Hannah]
When she'd looked up from her typing, Hannah had looked comfortable. Slow-eyed like a cat, or relaxed like one of Seven's dogs when nothing could bother them from a warm bit of floor. And Marta was almost a little sad to have to break into that.
She wasn't surprised when Hannah's reading produced more questions - she was sort of expecting it. So she listened, did her best to hold the questions in her mind. But before she started typing again, she tucked the tablet down between the arm and the seat cushion of the chair, and then pushed herself to stand. She was slow, but it was more of a lazy slow than a hurt or aching slow. She still had those moments as well, sometimes just from sitting in one place for too long, but this was more of a reluctance to put out the effort.
Effort or no, she leaned against the arm of her chair and shoved, turning it, moving the furniture just enough so that the chairs were situated side by side. It meant that instead of having to type and then lift the tablet for Hannah to see, the other woman would be able to just look over and easily read as Marta typed. It was more how the appointments with her doctor had been functioning lately. So once she had the chair where she wanted it, she dropped back into it and dug out the tablet again. She glanced up occasionally as she typed, especially at the end of a 'thought'.
sometimes. some drugs. i don't think all? the ones i took, yes. fix, no. but they said brains can find different ways to do stuff. its what brains are good at? practice. look at words and make sounds in them.
She points to the "m" at the end of "them", and then presses her lips together and hums softly.
practice with hands too. doing things that are hard and little.
To demonstrate, she lifts one hand and slowly, with a lot of concentration, curls her thumb and pointer finger to touch, then thumb and middle finger, ring, pinky, and back again. And she gestures over at where her journal and pencil are still sitting on the table.
