It didn’t seem to matter how much water she drank some days, at least, it felt like it didn’t matter. Syd had probably downed at least a good three liters of water (100oz) in the past ten hours of being awake and it still didn’t feel like enough. She’d even downed a couple gatorade’s just for good measure, nope, still not enough. Her mouth was dry, her muscles were sore. That mission a couple days back surely was what had aggravated this... Condition to this point.... At least this time. Sure, she had known it was coming but it seemed a little earlier than normal. The sore muscles were undoubtedly, at least in part due to some of the delayed damage being felt now. Her head was throbbing, along with, what felt like, every muscles in her body. At least she hadn’t gotten to heart palpitations, that had happened once or twice and it was rather... Disturbing.
She’d popped some pain killers earlier and chugged down a good liter to wash it down. Some of the pain had ebbed but regardless of how much she tried to be careful, to keep everything in check and not use her powers, that didn’t seem to fully matter. Not to mention, her hydration problems seemed to be getting harder to fix with age. At this rate she might not make it to 50 before drying up like a cooked lizard on the side of the desert road. Or maybe then the treatments would be weekly and the baths daily, though... Syd sincerely hoped that wouldn’t be the case. She couldn’t ask that much of anyone and really, she was asking a lot already. Poor kid always seemed so zapped after giving her a hand and honestly, she didn’t really know where she’d be without Eva at this point.
Though, Syd had to be careful about that. She undoubtedly let Eva know she was grateful, but just how much she needed these... favors might not be a good idea. The kid seemed shaken ever since her brother went gone and letting the little one know that Syd was constantly in danger probably wasn’t the best of ideas. Either way, she’d made sure to pick up and straighten things out some before the other woman arrived at her place. There were snacks easily available and as always, Eva was welcome to dig through any food or drinks she wanted. Hell, Syd had little to hid and little shame so whatever the kid wanted to do for the most part, Syd was comfortable with.
For now, she’d situated herself on the arm of the couch, leaning back lazily so that her lower back pushed against the back of the couch. It’d be easier to get up from this position than from a full sitting one. The door was unlocked as Syd expected Eva to be here any time and really, at this point, the kid didn’t need to knock, just announce that she had arrived. Eyes wondered over the TV as it flicked images by, the news channels were always full of fright stories it seemed. ‘One of these days. One of these days we’ll have peace.’
