At the first touch of something wet against his skin, Kelan's eyes flew open and he pulled back. But then he realized what Ashlee was trying to do. [Do you want me to sit up?] he asked, before slowly trying to push himself up into a sitting position anyway. His head still spun, but he was used to getting back up and going straight back to work after his collapses. Sitting on a bed was easy.
It was his first time getting a look at the doctor. Kelan watched him as he shrugged off his blanket, and then while he took off his overcoat. His undershirt was just as grimy as the rest of his clothes, and it was stuck to the wounds on his back. "Doctor," he said, still watching the man.
