Rin seemed to be shaking just slightly as a smile slowly and carefully spread across her face, "I... it... uh... key in pants. Pocket." She loudly cleared her throat, "I uh. Try... my...,Brushes?... an uh... anything you think like deodorant?.." god. Sasha's hands were so warm right now while her own likely felt icy to the touch.

Sasha gave Rin's hand a brief squeeze before releasing her fingers, rising from the bed as carefully as she could.
Sasha moved towards a blood-crusted pair of pants that rested in a crumpled heap on a nearby chair, pursing her lips at the dark reddish-brown that stained the article of clothing. She didn't hesitate or try to avoid the blood that darkened the cloth, instead handling them as if they weren't stiff with dried blood.
The keys jangled briefly before hitting the floor with a clang. Rin's cellphone clattered across the floor. The pants were dropped immediately back on the chair, and the keys were deftly pocketed. Sasha moved over to pick up the cellphone before she turned back to Rin.
"Would you like your cellphone here?"

Rin turned her head just enough to watch Sasha fetch the keys - and even more keenly as she bent over to pick up that cell, "Oh oh, yes. I could really use it especially once people stop visiting... so boring."

"I can bring you some books? Wash spent a lot of time reading to me."
Sasha brought the phone to rest on the bedside table. She briefly glanced at Rin's left side.
Her voice was remarkably soft when she spoke.
"Does it hurt? A silly question - are you getting enough medication?"

"Honestly? I'd really like some colouring books. And... uhh...porn. If it's not too much trouble?" Rin watched for exactly where her phone was placed before settling back down with a sigh again.
"Hmm?.. It depends, they got me on a drip thingy I think cause it like... comes and goes. Mostly it just feels creepy. Like pins and needles." She shuffled a bit to try and ease back covers and part of her hospital gown to show the bandages carry across her chest which seems bruised well past the bandages. "This hurts like a b***h though. Feels like an elephant is sitting on me. Refusing to move."

The only comment that Sasha made about Rin's odd requests was a muffled chuckle and a quietly uttered, "Where do I find those things?"
She had no idea where to find coloring books, and she certainly had no idea where to find .. well, the other.
"I know that feeling of pressure. Well. A similar feeling."

"The colouring books are still on the cart I used for you and well~ the other stuff? Under my bed and carefully labeled. Please don't look in the other boxes?" Seriously don't.
"But yeah, Sasha?" Rin smiled slightly, "Thanks... I feel a lot better having guests too."

Sasha gave the keys in her pocket a gentle patpat before moving towards the door.
"If you'd rather I let you settle this with him, I will. He needs to learn a few lessons on control - something of which he has none." Sasha paused.
"It's not something that bothers me in others, usually - a lack of control - but.. he had no right to do this to you."

"Thank you Sasha... because. Yes. I want to," Rin really did. It was why she was so hesitant to put Rep's name out there. You start getting people feeling like they need to be your white knight and next thing you know some people feel compelled to protect him and suddenly all you have is a mess with nothing resolved. Nothing ever resolved. Rin didn't want that. She wanted resolution. She wanted things handled and handled her way... but she was touched at least by the implication that Sasha wanted to. At all.
"Don't be long, okay?"

Sasha gave a curt nod before she took her leave.
She wasn't gone horridly long before returning with a small open-topped duffle. She hadn't spent a lot of time rooting around beneath Rin's bed, so she couldn't say what sorts of reading material she'd brought along.
The first thing that Sasha produced with a flourish was the little blue jay that Rin had given her so long ago.
"A gift. Well. More to keep you company. I stopped by my room on the way back. And," she pulled out the small label maker she'd gotten for Rin, "I brought you this. No reason, only to make you smile."
The brush and deodorant were set aside, and Sasha took up post in a small chair near Rin's bed after settling the nearly-empty tote alongside Rin on the bed.

Rin quietly watched Sasha leave. Then waited. And waited. She was so incredibly patient.
Rin smiled big as soon as she saw Sasha come through that door again, all sorts of goodies in tow. At first she was confused to see the blue bird - did Sasha not like it anymore? Self-doubt burbled beneath the surface for a moment before she clarified and suddenly Rin was smiling again and held her arm out to take it and hold it close as hard as she could. A chirping tune resulted.
Her label maker... it was down to just a few more words at this point but it was the thought in this moment that counted. She tilted the bird to rest against her chest before reaching out to try and take it to rest it on the top of her thigh. Her tongue poked out with concentration as she tried to type something out on it while it teetered side to side with each push of a button. Then print.
Rin offered the small sticker-like note to Sasha. It simply read, "youre wonderful". Unfortunately punctuation and capitalization was simply asking too much of her right now.

********, tears were threatening. Sasha grit her teeth as she reached out for the label, unpeeling the protective plastic-stuff from the back of it before tacking it to her finger. She shook her head and then leaned forward to ever-so-gently press it against the bandages that swathed across Rin's chest.
"Don't tell anyone I'm wonderful. They might get the wrong idea about me."
It was a half-joke, really. She cursed the tears that burned at the corner of her eyes, blinking rapidly a few times before pulling away from the other woman.
"You should rest, hmm?"

Rin looked confused but did not refuse to have it stuck on on her either. It was nice to have implied right back and made her glow with joy. Sasha thinks she's wonderful, too. Even if she denied it about herself.
"Our little secret then?" Rin played along before obediently resting her head back against the pillow. "Fine... but you better come back in a few hours to make sure I'm still breathing. Deal?"

"Our little secret."
Sasha leaned forward and pressed a quick kiss to Rin's forehead, spinning on her heel before slipping towards the door.
"And you better believe I'll be back. You rest, and heal, and get better, hmm?"
Sasha offered a final smile before she slipped out of the room. She'd leave Rep alone, just like Rin had asked.
This wasn't her battle to fight.

Rin smiled a little too hard after the kiss... she looked a little less ghostly white but only for a moment. Rin had one more question for the woman, but she was already gone. Perhaps next time. If she remembered, or was at least coherent.
Rin longed already for the next visit...
