She couldn't help, sitting there listening to him, that everything in his world must have seemed so black and white. A leader was good or bad. Art was passion or soulless. She chocked her head to the side as she listened to his words. 'Children were the best at it' she smiled and nodded, she had to agree. Imagination was the way of the young, and so few managed to keep that spark as they grew into adulthood.

She moved to stand beside him, she looking passed him at her director. Her words were soft, much calmer now. "You know... you could just leave the paintings here. I'm sure the physical therapists will enjoy them. But...I bet.. there are some paints and paper hidden away somewhere that could be smuggled into the pediatric ward...with the right words I bet you could even convince her to help you do it." She let out a slightly devious giggle.

It wasn't that he lacked nuance or a desire the view the world in shades of gray, if she knew what he got up to on his off-time, she might reconsider her opinion that he was purely black and white in his thinking, but that was beside the point.

What she offered was the proverbial 'everybody wins' category of negotiation. That was of course - a compromise. Nobody would be happy with the outcome - well - actually that wasn't true - the kids would be happy to have something to do other than stare at their phones or whatever tv or electronic devices were available to them. Not that Mathias would begrudge them those things. He'd grown up and watched technology become what it was - it still surprised him just how much people go up to on the internet somedays.

One of these days he'd get around to making a website portfolio... someday.

"You know, if it keeps me from getting bounced out of the building - deal," He sighed, once more pinching the bridge of his nose. "I aught to oppose on principle, but ******** hell I'm not up to the fight."

The joy that covered the young woman's face was unmistakable. She giggled and nearly clapped her hands as she soon motioned for him to follow her to the nurses station. "Come, we must get to work then. We can get you all set up before my next appointment gets here."

She moved up to the director, the woman having her ear to the phone at the time. "Do not worry about a thing now. We have worked out a compromise. With your ok we are going to set up an art class for the children in pediatrics."

She was all smiles and joy as the woman stared down at her with a confused expression. That was certainly a change from what she had left. "... yes sir. It seems that everything has been settled. The paintings won't be being moved?" She gave Sita the look that seemed to only ask for confirmation.

The young intern nodded, she winking at the woman as she waited for her to get off the phone and send them on their way.

Mathias followed the young woman. She was entirely too pleased with herself - but she had gotten what she'd wanted out of him so he couldn't really blame her for the elation at succeeding where the director had failed. But, at this point, he was willing to just suck it up and take the loss.

"... As much as I wish they were - no, they can stay put," Mathias sighed with a shrug of his shoulders. "At this point, I'm willing to call it a wash. Compromises being what they are."

He gave a nod to the director. "My stipulation being what she just said of course."

The supervisor gave another nod as she took note of Mathias' words. She finishing up her conversation before hanging up the phone. "I have to say, Mr. White, you have certainly given us the run around for the last twenty minutes, only to end it here where we are. Though I will give my permission for you and Ms. Brennan to go and set up a small painting class with the children today. It will be and unexpected joy for them." She took in a deep breath, her eyes doing all they could to not roll as Sita nearly bounced for joy beside her.

"Thank you so much Ma'am! I promise I will not be long. I have another appointment at the top of the hour!" She started to walk away before he noticed that neither of them were following her. She blinking and turning back around.

"I'm sorry...Am I ok to take him now then?" Her voice seemed to be just abit more sheepish

The older woman chuckled and shoo her head, looking to Mathias and groaning. "Go, take care of the kids. I will be on my way. Make certain there is notice left with the desk if you are going to be late for any appointments you have." She nodded to each of them in turn.

"Good day, Mr. White. A pleasure, as always."

"Mr. White is my Uncle," Mathias offered with a shrug. "But I suppose I can pretend today." He gave the supervisor an apologetic half smile. She would be the second undeserving person whom he'd inconvenienced this week as a byproduct of his actions - he hoped this was not going to be a pattern. "My apologies for the... bedlam."

This wasn't the psych ward he could say that here right?

Turning he fell in behind the young woman, all but bouncing with energy and positivity. "Alright, slow it down Pollyanna, these aren't my running shoes."

"Ya'll have supplies or do I need to go raid my trunk?"

Not missing a beat, the young woman chuckled and turned to look over her shoulder. "My name is Sita actually, but if you insist.' She winked and continued with her bouncy step, she only stopping when she reached the Pediatric ward.

Once there she moved to the end of the hall where the main storage closets were. She glanced at Mathias and nodded "We do have some supplies, though they are mostly crayons and markers. We have paper, but it is simple computer stock, so depending on what you deem 'worthy' you might wish to got and procure some finer items, sir."

She giggled softly and started rummaging through the closet, attempting to find what she only hoped was a collective box of art supplies.

He had to remind himself that she was on HIS side and that she wasn't trying to give him guff - or maybe she was - it was hard to tell given her bright and cheery nature. It might have been meant as good natured ribbing at his expense - but there were very few people who survived that against him.

All the same he was going to do his best to keep the peace.

"Well Sita," He said, stopping outside the closet to rock back on his heels for a moment. "I normally work in rattle-can, marker, crayon, and letter will be perfectly fine."

"It's not the tools, it's the person driving them," Mathias chuckled. "I've seen photogs do crazy things with disposable cameras."

If she noticed his irritation she made no light of it. She rummaging through the closet and pulling out what crayons, markers and even watercolor paints that she could find. She piled them up beside her, handing some of the smaller things to Mathias as he was certainly useful for that. Once or twice she managed to drop some items, she inwardly cursing herself but outwardly giggling as she had to bend down to grab them,

"Well...I don't think that we need the children running around with spray paint cans. Though it would give the ward a new look and paint job, but I don't think the director would appreciate it much." Once she finished the search, she turned around and faced her companion. She crossing her arms across her chest and shaking her head.

"I wasn't saying that magic couldn't be done. I was simply saying you might have had another vision in mind." She let her arms relax and started to gather up some of the items she had piled before. Once she had what she could carry she look over her shoulder and gave him the nod to follow her.

He had, but he wasn't going to bemoan not being able to actualize it. What was done was done - and doubtless he was going to hear about it come the next few days as the news of his... outburst made the rounds. But that was a concern for future Mathias to deal with.

"I'd never give a can to a minor," Mathias said. "Unsupervised anyway - too dangerous. Kids don't realize just how rough that stuff can be - hell even I forget sometimes, to the determent of my skin."

That said... He gathered up whatever he'd been given and followed her with an easy stride.

"But, it'll be fun to see what they come up with today - without it."

"I've heard through docent sources that minors have a way of procuring things despite us wishing otherwise. So, I would not be shocked if one or two of them share in your choice of media." She chuckled to herself as she continued on, heading to the meeting room that tested in the center of the juvenile long-term care ward.

She placed the items down on a center table and motives for Mathias to do the same. "We can set them up here" She took a quick glance around the room.

There were not many kids at present, but those that were there seemed to not really be paying them much mind. One young boy, around the age of seven, sat at a far table. The surface was covered in papers and books. Probably some sort of homework. Even the children here in the hospital had to keep up on studies.

At the other side of the room we're a pair of girls, these two abit older, but still going enough to be here in the ward. They were sitting and reading magazines, laughing over what seemed to be some sort of dating quiz.

Such a lively crowd. But Mathias had worked with worse. He looked over at Sitara and cleared his throat. "If you wouldn't mind heading over to the nurse station and seeing about wrangling a few more... erm... students?"

After all, why exclude anyone really unless it was physically incapable of them to move into the room - and if that were the case, he'd be more than happy to venture room-to-room if need be.

"Might drum up some excitement if they... you know... spread the news."

The young intern smiled and shook her head. Seemed like he was destined to boss her around no matter what. She wondered if he even knew he did it? Perhaps it was so ingrained in him that it was a habit.

She turned and headed to the nurse's station, she taking afew minutes to catch up with the nurse that was manning it, before she mentioned gathering afew more of the children.

The other nurse agreed and moved to do just that, heading from room to room to see if there was anyone awake or wanting to come out for social time.

Sita returned to Mathias, she showing a proud grin. "We should be getting more artists here shortly. It seems there have been many that have been complaining of being bored."

She giggled and moved to pull afew more table together. She placing paper and supplies where she could. "It will take abit though. Some of them have to get prepped in chairs and the like. Sometimes IVs and such are bothersome as well as helpful."
PostPosted: Thu Sep 16, 2021 5:08 pm


Mathias thought of the few time's he'd been on the business end of an IV after a fight - usually to rehydrate - rarely when he'd done something stupid and ended up with something broken. Well, okay, not as rarely as he'd like people to think - but it was a thought that came and went.

"Understandable, I'm not in any rush," He commented, looking around the room and the way she set things up.

And with that he placed hands behind his back, looking around the room closing his eyes for a moment and just letting himself listen and get a feel for the place.

Sita took the time to move about the area, checking in on those that were there, actually kneeling down and chatting up the young boy as he did his homework. "You know, all work and no play makes life very, very boring." She smiled, the young man giving her a nod before speaking back.

"My dad always says homework first though. Play after. But...he's gone now, so...I guess I'm allowed to play." He pulled a face that said he had been having many somber days in the hospital as of late, and Sita could not help but feel her heart sink for the boy.

"The ones we love are never truly gone. You know where they are?" She placed her hand over her heart.

"Right here. and your dad will be there forever, and he is very wise for having you do homework. But right now...I think we need abit of fun." She winked at the boy and nodded toward the table as the nurses came out with a few more kids. Two in wheelchairs and another young child with an iv stand.
