The world was rather clearer and rather less hilarious than it had been when he'd first arrived. It was also somewhat more painful, but he was actually glad of the first two. Being able to focus on things, on people, to really appreciate that... that it was over.
Aulus shifted slightly in bed and reached over to stroke Tortie's mane; she wasn't allowed here all of the time, but whenever she was she sat loyally beside him. He'd missed her. He'd missed this place, that despite it's faults and the things about it he still hated... this place that had become home.
Rubbing his eyes Aulus reached over for his 'dex to check the time, wondering if somebody might be along to see him soon. For all that he preferred this state to a more heavily sedated one, it was a lot more boring.

Aulus didn't have long to wait for company. Almost the same instant he checked the time, a quiet pop sounded nearby, and with a flip and a flourish, Azdeif landed on his bed with tiny feet together and small hands up in the air. A happy grin was on her face as she lowered her arms and floated up over the agent's head. 'Owlus!'
A moment or two later, the door handle wiggled before the door opened, and Claire slipped in before quietly shutting it again. "Azdeif, don't pester him," she chided gently as she moved to the bed, looking at Aulus with a soft smile. While it held some concern, it didn't have nearly as much as it did the night he returned. Luckily he'd had about a week to recuperate and stop scaring her. "Aulus," she said as she paused next to his bed on the side opposite Tortie and gently wrapped her arms around his shoulders in a careful hug, briefly leaning her cheek on the top of his head. "How are you feeling?"

Company!
Aulus grinned. "Hey there Azz, how're-"
-Door!
And then there was Claire.
He grinned a bit wider. "She's not bothering me," he said, reaching up to return Claire's careful hug, "Nice to see her... and you. Always. Of course." Though he was much better than he had been the drugs he was still on were still making his head fuzzy, and frankly he wasn't that eloquent and stuff around Claire anyway. Still, he was happy. Lying back cautiously against the pillows again Aulus offered Claire a softer smile, and a gaze that was more alert than it had been the day before. "I feel... sore. A bit sorer than I did yesterday actually I think but much more me so I'm not going to complain. How're you? You look good. You always look good. I missed you." Mmmh, yes, okay, maybe he was slightly more rambly than normal still. At least he was aware of it though.
