[Oswald's eyes widen at that, and he's immediately shooting out of his seat, reaching out to stead him] Wait--don't, you shouldn't be moving, yet. [his face creases into a deeply worried frown, reaching out to try and help him settle again] You're still healing.

[enigmaster]

It's f-- ngh... hhh... [Nope, bad decision, very bad decision, he feels even more like garbage now.] Shit...

[agoodname]

Hold on, just--[and Oswald is bracing one leg on the bed so he can balance and help Edward lay back down] --carefully. Hang on to me, if you need to.

[enigmaster]

N-No, I can... I... [Edward is... breathing a little heavily, but wincing as he does. Trying to keep his breaths... slower and more shallow, because oh, his ribs really hate that. And... yeah, he is hanging onto Oswald a bit, even if he's not super conscious of that fact right now. His grip is shaky, as he's holding onto him. And... honestly, Edward looks a little pale after that. Impressive, considering his general already not great appearance at the moment.]

[agoodname]

[that's....not great. And once he gets Edward resettled, he's pressing his lips together in worry] ....I'm going to call Lee. Just so she can make sure you haven't torn anything.

[enigmaster]

M'fine... [It's kind of a weak and... pretty useless protest. He's not. And he won't be for a while, still, but it's hard for him to properly think about that right now.]

[agoodname]

[it is a pretty useless protest, because Oswald is going to reach out for the call button to call Lee in, hovering next to the bed] There--she should be in in a moment.

[enigmaster]

Mhm... [Well, damn it. Good going, Edward. What had been the thought process behind that again? ...Oh, right.] Just wanted a better view... Kind of... can't see shit...

[agoodname]

I'm afraid you'll have to wait for a better view. I don't believe your body is ready to give that to you just yet.

[enigmaster]

Miss my glasses... [It's a little muttered. Yep, okay, he is super not all there. Edward. Edward honey...]

[agoodname]

They got fairly damaged in the blast. I've been having them repaired; they should be finished in a day or so.

[enigmaster]

Oh... You actually found them? [He's a little surprised.] ...Not sure if it's just the drugs or if my vision actually got worse... [He rubs at his eye a little, but... That's not doing much for him.]

[agoodname]

Yes. I found them first, actually. It's how I found you.

[enigmaster]

Cause of that...? [...] What, you were looking?

[agoodname]

Of course I was. We all were.

[enigmaster]

[Edward frowns a little. Huh.] ...Odds were I was 'lready dead or... or just gone, y'know...

[agoodname]

Yes. We considered that. But... Well. It was better to search and be certain if you'd left, you'd left.

[enigmaster]

[...] Don't really get it...

[agoodname]

....that's alright. Don't worry about it for now. You need to rest. [--which is about the time that Lee comes in] "Oswald? What happened?" [and to that, Oswald huffs, turning on the bed to give her an exasperated look] Someone decided he wanted to sit up for a spell.

[enigmaster]

Mhm... [His attention slips, for a moment and... Oh, Lee's here now. When'd that happen? He blinks a little.]

[agoodname]

[Lee blows out a breath through her nose at that] "I see. Then I'll need to make sure he hasn't torn anything--and perhaps leave a message on the ceiling so when he wakes up, the first thing he sees is not to sit up." [dryly] [Oswald just chuckles lightly at that] I imagine that could possibly be a help, yes.

[enigmaster]

[Edward blinks a few more times. Ah, wait... Wait, they're talking about him. ...Rude.] M'fine...

[agoodname]

[at that, both Lee and Oswald just....look at him with the most deadpan expressions] "....that remains to be seen. I'm going to go get a nurse to help me. Oswald, make sure he stays down this time."

[enigmaster]

[Edward rolls his eye a little... He doesn't need a babysitter, wow.]

[agoodname]

[YEAH THAT LOOK IS GETTING IGNORED while Lee exits again, now to retrieve a nurse so they can make sure Edward hasn't pulled something]
