There had been a promise made, mostly to herself, that she would come home as soon as Theo was truly awake. True to her word, she was standing outside his hospital room before the evening was through. She was nervous to see him, she knew he likely wasn't in the best of moods, and she really hoped her ridiculous gift helped to cheer him up a little.

When she had asked Blaise if Theo needed anything, he had suggested some pajamas, and maybe something ridiculous. Calypso had picked up a pair of emerald silk pajamas that she knew was likely not exactly hospital appropriate, but they were just so soft. While she had been checking out, she had noticed a ridiculous muggle stuffed pegagus that would work perfectly for the ridiculous gift. She had put the pajamas into a silver little gift bag, but she was carrying the little stuffed animal.

It was the unicorn that was held out to him as she entered the room, she was nervous to see his hand, but she didn't hesitate as she walked up to his bed and invited herself to sit by his side. "He said he needed to be one of yours," she teased, as she set the little pegasus in front of herself next to his other hand.

He didn't want to be awake. In fact, right now he was sleeping as much as he could. In part this wasn't a horrible thing -- his body was healing and in pain, and both required his energy. He didn't have the energy or desire to talk much. He had been very grateful the other day when Astoria had visited and simply played for him. It had not been demanding and it had offered him a bit of peace in return.

The problem was, he did need to start talking. He couldn't just ignore as many people around him as possible, no matter how much he wanted to. He needed people to poke him ... sometimes, at least.

So it was probably a good idea for Blaise to point Calypso in his direction a couple of days after he was actually awake, if one didn't count all the sleep adn attempted sleep he was trying to do. The two of them had grown pretty close during his time at Blaise's.

His left arm, the dominant arm, was missing up to just below the elbow, so he still had the joint and a short stretch of forearm, and it was well bandaged still, for they were only healing it a bit at a time in order to attempt to leave him with less scar tissue and more feeling in the stump, which apparently healing it all at once eould do. At this point Theodore wasn't quite sure he cared. He'd already started taking to keeping it tucked close to his body protectively, having bumped it very painfully countless times already.

He found a ghost of a smile to give her. it definitely looked as if it had come back from the dead, or perhaps being drunk in a ditch and now had an epic hangover, but he tried as he had with the few visitors he allowed.

"Did he now?" he said, his voice still a bit roughened. He almost started to reach with his stump, and visibly stopped himself and reached back, deliberately, with his whole hand.

It wasn't his usual smile, but he did smile at her, she was going to take that as a win. She wanted to smuggle Asshole in to visit with him as well, she thought he would have been able to get a real smile out of Theo. If Theo didn't work at St. Mungos, she likely would have brought the cat along with her. She didn't want to get into trouble for breaking the rules at his work, something she didn't worry so much about when she went to visit Blaise at work. She definitely would have brought Asshole to visit Blaise at work.

"He did, he's rather bossy," she informed him, her smile not faltering when she noticed that he had reached out with his dominant hand first. It killed her to see, she knew he was strong enough to use his opposite hand. Calypso was just waiting for the right moment to offer to help him.

"When do you get to come home? Asshole misses you, I think. He might have to go with you once the house is built," she teased. They both knew she was asking because she missed him, she just couldn't say so. She had grown close with him though since they had all moved in together, she wasn't looking forward to when he moved.

"Well, he is small, so don't blame him," Theo said. One would think he'd hate such things but he thought it was cute and sweet that she'd done something for him. "I mean, just look at Grumps." He referenced the pony Pegasus in his barn who always looked grumpy.

"Asshole wouldn't betray you. But I almost miss his pissiness." He empathised with the cat on some weird level.

"Blaise said he'd try to have me out sometime tomorrow so long as I agree to come in for all my sessions."

A soft laugh slipped from Calypso, and her smile grew at just the thought of the Grumpy little Pegasus. "Touche, though it seems that all of us tiny creatures just love you most," she teased, referencing herself as a tiny thing because she knew he had been calling her bossy. She couldn't fight the accusation either, not only was she bossy, her animagi form wasn't very large.

"You'll see him soon. Would you mind if I came along to bring you home?" she asked, though she had already intended to come along anyway. She wanted to offer to bring him back for his sessions, but she didn't want to step where she shouldn't belong. She felt just a smidge guilty for not coming home sooner, but she wasn't the best in these sort of situations. She was always so good at creating chaos, she wasn't so good at handling the aftermath.

"Yes, my tiny horse and my tiny tropical storm," he said with that dry edge to his voice that a lot of people took offense to. Sometimes he even wanted them to. HOwever, Callie knew him much better than most, and would know he was teasing her. Besides, he didn't know how much she wanted her animagus form to come up in a public place -- they'd never discussed what kind of secrecy she wanted about it.

"No, you can come," he said quietly, and the fingers of his only hand picked at the pills on the blanket in a nervous sort of fashion, tearing them from their native fabric and flicking them to the floor after. He didn't want to stay here, but he was also nervous about coming home. About what he cold and couldn't do.

About what he might never be able to do.

Calypso wasn't at all offended, instead she was beaming at him. She always prefered that people think of her in terms of the Goddess Calypso, but her second favorite was the tropical storm aspect. She knew she had created enough chaos and trouble in her lifetime, that it was a fitting name. "I can check on him when I leave here?" She hadn't thought of it before, and while she was sure that they were being taken care of, she knew they had to be missing Theo.

Emerald eyes fell to his hand, where he was picking at the blanket. She reached her own small hands out to cover his. "It's going to be alright, you know," she said in a softer voice, squeezing his hand. "Dora uses both, I don't see why we can't teach you to be able to do the same? I wanted to do more dueling things anyway, it'll be good practice."

A rare occurrence happened then, not only did Calypso realize she might have hurt someone's feelings, she apologized. "I'm so sorry if that was out of line."
