[Action, December 20th]

[Asch glances off to the side at that, trying his best to conceal his discomfort.]

I never asked for that...

[Action, December 20th]

[frost_jewel]

All right. [Surprising, but he sounds sincere and she doesn't want to push him. Not yet, anyway.] As long as you are sure. Is there anything you need? [if he's in pain, or thirsty, or bored, she can at least address that.]

[Action, December 20th]

[dissonates]

[...Okay, she's disturbingly tolerant of his attitude. He's not used to this. She gets a surprised blink for that one.]

...I need some water.

[Well hey, as long as she's offering her services...]

[Action, December 20th]

[frost_jewel]

Of course. I'll be right back.

[Asch is neither the biggest nor the worst attitude Mia's met in life. Or even in the past year.]

[Action, December 20th]

[dissonates]

[...So weird. He watches her go, then shrugs it off and goes back to relaxing on the bed, waiting for her return.]

[Action, December 20th]

[frost_jewel]

[when she returns, she has a glass and a pitcher - he's had a visitor already, and even if he can't pour more himself, it might as well be here for others to pour for him. Unless he asks for help sitting up further, she'll hand him the glass; it has a straw.]

Here you are.

[Action, December 20th]

[dissonates]

Hm. [Asch takes the glass - he's not a total invalid, promise! - and sips at it, quiet for a long moment as he does so.] ...Thanks.

[A clear throat is putting him in at least a mildly improved mood.]

[Action, December 20th]

[frost_jewel]

You're welcome.

[A calm and professional smile.] I will be here for most of the day, if you should need anything else.

[Especially if you change your mind about the healing part. Most people, she gets stubborn with at this point here; Asch probably wouldn't take it well.]

[Action, December 20th]

[dissonates]

[He nods absently, glancing towards the window.]

How long until I'm cleared to leave this place?

[Action, December 20th]

[frost_jewel]

[It's not that bad, is it?]

It depends. It could be within a week, if you rest, and decide to allow yourself to be healed. [perfect opportunity, that.] Do you stay with someone that would be able to...assist you if necessary?

['Help' doesn't seem like the kind of word he'd appreciate hearing.]

[Action, December 20th]

[dissonates]

[....Luke... assisting him...]

...It's better to wait until I can handle myself.

[Action, December 20th]

[frost_jewel]

Two or three, then, depending on how well you heal on your own and...whether or not you are willing to promise not to exert yourself too much.

[You really remind her of Felix, Asch.]

[Action, December 20th]

[dissonates]

I'm not about to start any fights.

[Not making any promises about getting out of bed to wander off somewhere when he gets bored. He's sort of known for that.]

[Action, December 20th]

[frost_jewel]

You may not be able to lift things, or walk for long distances, either.

[She's just itching to heal him and make the whole thing shorter. But won't push for it.]

[Action, December 20th]

[dissonates]

That won't be necessary.

[Action, December 20th]

[frost_jewel]

How much pain are you in now?

[one thing she is very good at is not sounding worried when she asks these questions. It's detached enough to just be a typical healer's question.]

[Action, December 20th]

[dissonates]

It's nothing I can't handle. [He says it dismissively, though it's probably a fair bit, more than he's letting show. Military training is probably a doctor's worst enemy sometimes.]

[Action, December 20th]

[frost_jewel]

Of course.

[No need to press him into some sort of argument.]

I will be back to check in on you later.

[Action, December 20th]

[dissonates]

Whatever you want. [An uncaring shrug. It could be stubbornness, it could be the fact that he's exhausted and about to pass out, but either way, the message is pretty clear.]
