Wow, Melvin hated people. Ofelia needed to keep note of that, and she was glad that he didn't seem to be directing anger her way at the moment. Very nice.
Also, come to think of it, she was sort of hungry. The only problem with that was would she be able to eat properly? It hurt to swallow her spit, let alone the thought of food going down her throat, and she paled while trying to think about it. How had they been feeding her? A tube maybe, or through the IV drip that was so close at hand?Quote: i am hungry but i dont think i can swallow anything properly
If either of those things happened she'd just off herself. Eventually.Soup was always good.

"I'll go ask if it's okay, but it should be. They can't have you living on chemicals too long." He rose up, stretching out from sitting so long. "Maybe some icecream too. That's what I got when I had my tonsils taken out." He gave he a brief wave goodbye to walk over to some techs before heading out.
It would be some time later before he returned, and he came with a metal cafeteria plate, a bowl of tomato soup, and a small bowl of icecream that was already melting. He set it down for her to take. "Only soup they had."

Oh...ice cream Ofelia hadn't had ice cream in forever, not since the incident that caused Rep to try and skewer her and for Jordan to take his side and turn on her. Was it bad that a food could bring up such bad memories super quickly? It should have been, but Ofelia was doing her best to try and patch over those memories with new ones. There was no need for her to panic, no need for her to worry and think horrible thoughts.
Now, wonderfully, the question would be how was she going to eat it. She could try and sit up, not that she'd done that before (or if she had she didn't remember doing so) and Ofelia figured that the best way to find out was to try. She attempted a shift into a more sitting position but it was one that ended with her just wincing and crying out softly (yet sharply) in pain. The red-head would have felt mortified if it wasn't for the fact she had lost most of her shame inside this hospital room.
Or maybe it was the medications. The sun hunter grabbed her phone and typed something out.Quote: i cant seem to sit up and i wont bother you to feed me so just leave it there ill figure something out

He winced when she tried to get up, and saw that eating would be a hazard. Even if he spoon fed her, drinking when laying down would just make her cough due to gravity. No.
Thinking, he eased out of his chair. "You probably can't eat much for that reason, but let me try something." He left her a moment, leaving for a few minutes before he returned back with a pillow and something in his hands. "One pillow should be okay. Just...tell me if I'm hurting you." He set something on the table and then took a plush pillow and took her shoulder and gently pressed to squeeze a pillow behind her. When she was upright enough to not choke on anything, he set some M&Ms on her lap. "They melt so you won't choke on them." He then took a small strap and stabbed a juice box. "And this won't spill." It was hard to find juice that wasn't a twist top, but he picked one from the food supplies they kept for patients and handed her the apple juice. "Best I can think of until you can eat properly."

When Melvin vanished Ofelia blinked a bit, wondering what all was going to happen next. He seemed to be showing good concern for her, it had her a bit off-guard, and when he returned with what looked like a pillow and something else she couldn't help but raise an eyebrow.
Her surprise turned to pain, however, as even the slightest motion caused her to cry out. It was involuntary, her whole body tensed and burned with the simple movement. Tears sprang to her eye though she tried to deny them and as soon as she was settled she was gasping for breath. "Tha....was....n...'t....so...."
She tried to talk, which was pointless. It was clear it'd hurt her, she didn't look like it was something she could have easily brushed off, and without her weapon she was likely in for more and more of this until her natural healing could kick in and save her life. Ofelia was certainly to be miserable, and she took her phone in hand again as Melvin placed things in front of her.Quote: sorry for making noise and crying it really didnt hurt too bad

This was why he wasn't working as a nurse and was a trainee only enough to do the little jobs like bringing in food trays and making sure no one was dead. He thought the fluffy pillow would be comfortable that he didn't think that such a small lift would hurt her.
He did feel bad for making it worse. "Sorry. I thought I was - I thought it would be okay." She looked paler now and her raspy voice and misting eyes didn't help the wave of guilt rise.
"Maybe I should just...ask the techs to give you a bit more medication." Drugs tended to make people recover and sleep better. "I should let you rest after all." She was alive, he gave her a treat. That should be fine.

Quote: will you come and see me again
It sounded weird to think that way but she really didn't have any other meaning. Just someone to talk to, someone to break up the loneliness that might have come around in the future. Plus if he came more maybe he could help her escape. Less than two days in and she was already planning an escape.

Melvin smiled. "Sure. Just text me. Oh, and if you get bored and want a book or something, add that too. I've had to guard a few people in the infirmary and they get bored fast." With how accident prone hunters were, he had seen a few people in here already from beating each other up. It made him feel good that he hadn't landed himself in one of these beds yet.
Rising, he cracked his shoulders from sitting around this long. "Sleep well, okay?" He told her.

Her breathing grew a bit shallow as her body seemed to relax, and without warning she slipped back into the light coma she'd been fighting to stay out of. At least, for now, she was safe and warm.MoonKitsune and that's a wrap! thanks so much for playing with her, ofie <3 melvin
