[ Aaaand he's already gone. And Ai's left with the cleanup. Wonderful.
... no, that's not fair, is it? Pretty much everything Oberon's been doing since last night has been cleanup. She wonders, with a sudden pang of anxiety in her chest, if he's lost his patience with her. If she'd misread him last night and that indelicate gentleness had been nothing more than a way to get her back on her feet so he could handle the rest of it without his pathetic Master falling apart.
It'd make things a whole lot less complicated. But it makes her stomach twist for some reason, regardless.
So she does her best to make the whole thing as painless as possible. She doesn't speak up any more than necessary, only when prompted and cooperates as quickly with everything she's directed to do as she can. Really, the whole thing is more painless than she expected - a sharp scratch when the needle goes in and after that, it's a whole lot of sitting around while nothing happens. Something certainly feels different by the time it's done, but she doesn't quite know for sure if she feels better just yet. But her legs aren't quite as wobbly when she finally stands up and her head isn't spinning as much. So it's a start.
No sign of Oberon quite yet, as the nurses start herding her towards the exit now she's done. For the second time today, she tries not to let herself be too disappointed. ]
