darius summers, ophelia

Who: Ophelia and Darius
Where: Ophelia's hospital, out and about, maybe
When: afternoon
What: consuming hot chocolate
Warnings: doubtful. Cuteness may be lethal.

Darius bounced through the halls, glad to be seeing Ophelia again. He had a thermos full of hot chocolate, and had another surprise for her that he hoped she would like.

The nurse at the station smiled at him, and he greeted her by name. Darius was good at remembering names and faces.

He walked in a more dignified manner when he got to Ophelia's hallway, and tapped on her door frame before poking his head in. "Hey!"

	"I know. That will be hard to overcome, but you will be able to do so. You are smart and strong, and wonderful." He stroked between her shoulders, softly. "You can do this." There was surety in his voice. He had faith in everybody's ability to do what they needed to do to get their lives in order. (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	"How do you have such confidence in me, when I do not have such in myself?" She sighed and looked up at him again. "I will try." After all, if she could not, there was no where else for her to go. Unless, of course, she accepted the offer from Alexi. But she felt uneasy doing that. (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

"Because I grew up seeing the strength in others. You, Ophelia," he pulled back, so his eyes could meet hers, "have strength you don't even know about. You will find it, and it won't make everything better, it won't fix your life, but it will help you with the challenges that life brings you, it will keep you going when weaker people would just cease to care, and fade away into nothing."

He stroked her hair, softly. "Look at how well you're handling this. I wasn't a stranger to the idea of alternate universes, but I handled it much worse than you did."

In his own mind, at least. He'd just clung to anyone who resembled people he'd known back home, and was only know seekign independence.

	Ophelia closed her eyes. "If you see it, I'll try to believe that it's there." She did not think she was handling it well at all. All she was doing was depending on others for her strength...at least in her own mind. "I'm trying very hard." Sometimes the madness was so close she could stare into it.

	He nodded. "It will get better. It will take work, and time, and it will hurt, but this pain will ease. You can get past this, and you can persevere." He wrapped his arms around her again, holding her gently. (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	Ophelia nodded as he held her. She felt strangely contented and safe. "Thank you, Darius. Thank you for everything." But especially for giving her hope. (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	"Anytime." He would let her pull away when she wanted to, but for now he rather liked holding her. "If you want to talk about it, or anything, I'm more than happy to listen, or help anyway I can." (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	love_remember 2008-11-26 12:51 pm UTC (link)
	She nodded again, then slowly pulled away, blushing a little. "I am glad you've been here for me. It's helped me more than you know," she said softly. She looked around the room one more time. "I think we should probably head back. I'm sure they will be getting worried soon." (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	dasummers 2008-11-26 12:55 pm UTC (link)
	Darius let her go, and nodded. "Possibly. Is there anything else that you would like to see on the way?" He took a deep breath, gaining control of his body. She had been very warm and nice in his arms, and he was sad to have the hug end. (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	"Oh...I think that what we pass on the way back is quite enough for today." In truth, the house was the only place she had not felt overwhelmed. "I should check on the plants again before we go back," she said. (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	dasummers 2008-11-26 01:05 pm UTC (link)
	"Alright. Next time we'll have to do a little cleaning, so you won't have a lot of housework to do when you get back." (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	love_remember 2008-11-26 01:09 pm UTC (link)
	"Dusting at least, yes." She nodded and headed downstairs and into the sunroom again. The plants already looked better, and Ophelia smiled. (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	dasummers 2008-11-26 01:15 pm UTC (link)
	Her smile was beautiful. Possibly the best thing he'd seen all day. This was a good, if somewhat rocky, day. He was glad that she had decided to come here with him. "Did you want to bring one of the plants with you? For your room at the hospital, to remind you of the plant room when you're not here tending them." (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	love_remember 2008-11-26 01:59 pm UTC (link)
	She was glad, as well. Her heart felt quite a bit lighter and it was good to know what her house would look like. "I'd like that," she said softly. She went over and chose a rather sickly-looking fern. "This one needs me." (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	dasummers 2008-11-26 02:21 pm UTC (link)
	He nodded and looked around for a plastic bag. "Think you can carry it that far?" (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	love_remember 2008-11-26 02:38 pm UTC (link)
	"Yes. It is very small," she said. No bigger than a kitten, really, and that's sort of how she's holding it, touching the leaves gently with her fingers. (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	dasummers 2008-11-26 03:38 pm UTC (link)
	He nodded and held the door for her, so she didn't have to stop cradling the plant. "Then let's be on our way. It's getting cold, anyway, and walking in the cold isn't high on my list of favorite things." (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	love_remember 2008-11-26 04:12 pm UTC (link)
	She beamed at him. "Nor mine," she said, going through the door that he opened for her. "I'm glad I got to see the house with you," she said. (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	dasummers 2008-11-27 04:19 pm UTC (link)
	He smiled, bowing a little. "Thank you. I'm glad I got to see it, and that I could bring you to those that need you." He motioned toward the fern. "You do me a great honor, Ophelia." (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	"I am glad too," she said softly. "Plants need care as well as people." She took his arm as they walked. "It is very good that I know you, Darius. You make the world seem normal." (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	dasummers 2008-11-27 09:34 pm UTC (link)
	He stroked her hand, smiling brightly at her. "I'm glad that I cna bring you some relief from the strange new world." How odd. He didn't think he was anything like the people of her time. "I'm glad to be your friend." (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	love_remember 2008-11-27 09:48 pm UTC (link)
	She smiled and walked with him, just enjoying feeling...almost as if she belonged. "Everything will still be strange, I think, but perhaps a bit less so." (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	dasummers 2008-11-29 01:27 pm UTC (link)
	That made him smile at her. "Good. I'm glad that I can help you. You make me feel like I have someone I can talk to, who won't judge me by what I am or am not." (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	love_remember 2008-11-29 08:54 pm UTC (link)
	"Then I am glad to have done you some good as well," she said. "You seem a very good person, and I wish to know you better, perhaps, in the days ahead." (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	dasummers 2008-12-01 09:55 am UTC (link)
	"I would enjoy that a great deal, dear lady." He beamed brightly. "You seem like someone I would like to get to know quite well." (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)
