Who: Fenrir and Heather (and Karishma) When: Tuesday night Where: infirmary What: Heather goes to check on Fenrir
Heather heard about the fight shortly after it happened. She had been reassured that both Fenrir and the student would recover, so she didn't rush off in a panic. She couldn't afford to do that when she had so much more responsibility now.
Being a mom was HARD! It wasn't that she had never appreciated all her own mother did, but now she truly understood what a drain it was on the body. Any fears Heather had in recent years about gaining a few pounds were now gone. She'd already lost two pounds this week from all the chasing, lifting, and feeding someone other than herself. But Karishma brought new joy to her life. She'd never felt so wonderful.
Seeing as how Heath was out and about, Heather had no choice but to bring the toddler along to the infirmary. Heather hoped that Karishma wouldn't upset Fenrir.
With the little girl resting on her hip, playing with Heather's hair, the pair of them entered the infirmary. Two sets of eyes darted around the space. Heather knew what she was looking for... Karishma was simply entertained by a new place to explore. The child wiggled around in Heather's grip, but Heather softly said, "No, no... we have to be quiet in here. There are people sleeping." Karishma and Heather were still getting to know each other, and the child was good at pushing boundaries, but Heather remained firm. Sensing that Heather was very serious about behaving in this particular case, the little girl calmed down.
Spotting Fenrir, Heather walked over to his bedside. He was out cold. She wasn't sure if he was unconscious due to what he'd experienced, or if he was just sleeping. She whispered, "Fenrir?"
