Eric felt a little bad that he had slipped out of the infirmary without being much help, though he really didn't think he had been much help there. Still, there had been others there that needed help and hed slipped out completely.
He kept remembering that green haired woman that had walked up to the knight while theyd been talking, bleeding and begging for help, and it made him shiver that he really didn't know what had become of her.
If she'd made it (and he didn't want to consider the alternative) shed be in the infirmary. He decided to pay her a visit. He grabbed the guitar Alberio had gotten for him (she might need a pick me up after all) and made his way to the infirmary. He looked around the room, and had a small feeling of relief when he saw her there. He moved over to her and spoke to her.
"Hi there luv. You dont know me, but I thought Id just check up on you. You were in a bad way when you got here."
He smiled, then added as an afterthought.
"Im Eric, by the way."
He extended a hand.

Harmony was dangling somewhere in between conscious and unconscious. She was laying where Camelot left her on the sleeping bag with a promise to return in a little while once she'd been able to get some rest. Rest that, at least up to now, had been eluding her. She was left wondering and thinking about all sorts of things, not the least of which was the knight himself and the veritable acid trip she'd stumbled into.
Not that she'd ever done acid, of course. She told her mother she had once, just to see the look on her face. That two hour yelling match wasn't nearly as amusing as she thought it would have been.
The teenager was thinking of her mother and the mysterious knight when Eric appeared with a guitar in hand. At least now she had an excuse not to sleep.She tried to sit up, felt a sharp stabbing pain and gave up, offering her hand to match his.
"Harmony. Nice to meet you." She laid her head back down. "How did you get out of all of this unscathed?"
Luv. Sounded odd to her ears. Or maybe it was simply the strain of Wonderland taking it's toll at last.

He smiled.
"Stood in the back with a stupid look on my face, thats how. Still managed to puncture an eardrum, though thats healing up nice."
He looked her over.
"How are you doing luv?"

"Well, my rib is back on the inside so I can't be doing too badly, can I?"
It was a bad joke but the fact that she was attempting to joke at all was a good sign. She'd been bandaged up pretty well, stiff but the pain was back and forth, only throbbing when she moved.
Soon she'd be trying to get up and would likely drive people crazy pushing herself too far before she was healed enough to be able to handle it.

Eric chuckled
"Well that can't be bad. I was a wee bit worried about you after I saw you the other day, its good to see you're in one piece "
He sat beside the sleeping bag, placing the guitar down next to him.
"Well uh, how does a girl like you end up in a place like this?"
He asked with a half smile and a wink.

"Thank Camelot. He did it."
And he had. He was the only one that stepped up when everyone else decided to back away. She still had a few stars in her eyes with regards to him but she was also very curious about who he was as a man and not just as a knight. He'd proven to be both by now.
"To be honest I don't know how I came to Wonderland. One minute I was in bed sleeping and the next I was here and there was a ginormous space whale trying to make me a snack. To be honest, I just want to go home and see my mom. What's the guitar for?"

"Well"
He said with a sly smile.
"You might say Im a bit of a musician. I'm not good for much else, so I thought I might see if you needed a cheering up. But now I'm feeling rather silly, since you appear to be doing fine anyway."

"I wouldn't say I'm doing fine."
Truthfully she was going out of her ever loving mind and had to be almost literally put back to bed every day. She wanted to get home and didn't realize by not resting she wasn't healing as well as she could be. And by not taking advantage of what the healing had to offer she was probably making things worse.
Yeah. Sometimes she could be really stupid in her single minded selfishness.
"Thanks for the thought. I thought everyone was going to avoid me like the plague. I guess not a lot of people got this hurt?"

Eric shrugged.
"I don't really know. So much has happened, its hard to keep it all straight anymore. But I don't see any reason to avoid ya, its not like having yourself mucked up by some space monsters is contagious."
He chuckled, trying to lighten the mood a little bit.
"But still, its pretty interesting isnt it? Once you get past, you know, the acid tripiness of this whole situatuon. I mean, space! Think about it, were in flipping space! And its got rainbows and eh, stuff. So thats interesting. And we appear to at least be safe now, so thats good."

"I wouldn't exactly say Wonderland lives up to my expectations. I was hoping for something a little more welcoming with furry woodland creatures that talk and hookah smoking caterpillars. Not gigantic space whale and bats that wanna eat me."
It wasn't his fault she was in a bad mood. She didn't like it here and between Camelot making sure she wasn't going anywhere and thoughts of her mom keeping her from really resting she didn't know what else to do. She felt like maybe she was going a little bit crazy, stir crazy probably. But Erik was trying to be polite so she tried not to let her frustration with this place and with her situation show.
"Who did you leave behind?" she asked. He seemed kinda cheerful to have been dragged away from people he loved. "Do you have family you miss right now? A girlfriend?"
The subtext of the question was how could he be so casual about a situation like this?

Eric shook his head. "No, nothing like that. Most of the family's across the pond, have some mates in town but nothing so committed as a girlfriend. Or a place, even. I'm not what youd call an average lad, I just kindof go where the wind blows. And now its blown me here." He shrugged. "I try not to worry too much. Take things one at a time. And at this moment, thats making sure you're allright, along with everyone else who got injured there." He gave a confident smile. "Next, its getting out of here."

Harm was a little worried and more than a little put off how he could be so casual about life and family. True she didn't actually appreciate the little family she had left until it was gone but she did appreciate it and she wanted to be home with her mother right now. She didn't understand how he could be so blase about where they were and what was going to happen to them. The senshi and the knights seemed like nice people for cracked out super heroes, sure, but they weren't getting her home.
At least he cared about other people which was more than she could claim. She just wanted to heal and go home. She didn't even think about the implications of all of this once she got home and how it would affect her: knowing thing like this existed.
"I'm alright. I'll be fine."

Eric nodded .He liked this girls additude, even though her statement seemed an outright lie if she was still bedbound. But it was a go get em spirit. Too bad that even if he had an idea of what to do she wouldn't be much help in a bed. "Indeed, it looks like you will be. So heres the deal, you focus on getting better and learn anything you can. I'm working on a way out of here, and when I do you'll be the first to know." He winked at her. "I just ask for the same from you, I want to get out of here same as you. If we keep our eyes and ears open, we can figure out a way of here. We must have gotten here somehow, so it stands to reason we can get out somehow."

"Camelot told me the senshi and the knights are trying to find a way home for us. He sounds confident but I'm not so sure."
There was unmistakable affection in her tone when she mentioned Camelot. He was one of the only reasons she was semi sane through this whole experience and the only reason she was in bed healing like she was though that wasn't for a lack of trying on her part. She liked the guy and hoped this wasn't the last she got to see him when this was all over with. She thought about his promise to find her mom and tell her a message for her. It meant more to her than the world.
"If I hear anything you'll be the first person I tell." she promised. "But I think it's one of those deals where we all get to go home at the same time. I don't think we'll be finding the way out."
She smiled at Erik, lying in her bed. The ache in her side was getting less and less severe in the short time she'd actually consented to lie down and accept healing. They were right - the magic in Virgo was perfect for healing. She'd heard about a spring inside and wanted to go lie in it a while once she was well enough to take off the bandages. She had every confidence in the world that would be soon.
