Welcome to Gaia! ::

Jaenelle gazed over The Golden One and couldn't help but feel as though his hopeful optimism was wasted on her. Such cheery people made her want to roll her eyes, though she resisted with much force. She didn't bother returning the smile.

"I am quite aware, Aureus, thank you. Judging by how fast your approach to my bedside was," she said as she nodded to Euphrasia, "I can hazzard a guess that I've been here longer than your normal patients. Obviously that means I've had enough forced sleep. I am ready to go back to my classes. No telling how much I've missed by now..." The last was said in a lowered voice, although it was undoubtedly the most true emotion she'd shown yet.

Jaenelle couldn't stop the grimace that took control of her face. The thought of having to start all over would have been enough to make her leap out of the bed right then, but the thought of her current classmates going ahead without her was more than she could bare. Her wide eyes stared forward. The mere thought of not transcending with even the most ignorant Zeros of her age was unacceptable.

She decided then and there that no matter how many extracurricular hours it took, she would catch up to the others. No way would she allow them all to pass over her. Jaenelle's fist clenched together, resolved.

"Yes, I shall have to go to the Teacher's Lounge straight away for additional tutoring. No telling how many classes I've missed already!" Her voice was a pitch below frantic.

((These things do happen. XD Until you stop these things happening, THIS thing does not happen!! Sorry, couldn't resist.))

Euphrasia's logic acted like a soothing balm. Jaenelle's fist unclenched while her body relaxed more on the bed. Feeling the frozen tips of her fingers against bare skin made her shiver, and finally made her grateful she was being tended to by somebody competent. It was also true that she didn't want these scars forever. No telling how many people would stop to gawk at them and ask her to regale the sordid adventure. Well, she could do without that thankyouverymuch.

Placated, Jaenelle took a deep breath and moved her arms under the blanket. "Thank you, Madam." she said politely. No matter how cross Jaenelle could become, hell would have frozen over if she were ever rude to an authority figure. "I don't suppose...Do you know how many classes have gone by while I was here?" she asked hopefully.

Euphrasia took the jars from her Nurses with a smile and an appreciative nod and thenturned towards her patient. "Oh, I haven't the faintest, dear. I'm not a professor. But don't you fret, we're in Free Period now, so once you're out you can be free to head to the Teacher's Lounge and look into making up some of the classes you've missed." While talking, Euphrasia opened up the Cassia and scooped out a dollop on the tip of a facecloth and leaned forward to begin rubbing the salve on Jeanelle's chest. "This will warm you up in no time." She explained, and handed the jar back to Aureus. Then, using a fresh cloth, she dabbed some Allamanda tincture on the fabric and folded it into a neat square. "You just keep this on your pillow, and if you feel yourself fretting or agitated, just give this cloth a sniff, and the fragrance will calm you, alright?" She handed the remainer of the bottle to Argentum and smiled down at Jeanelle. "If you just have a little nap, when you wake, you'll feel right as rain again."

Euphrasia chuckled softly and shook her head. "The harder you push yourself now, the longer you'll be stuck in that bed. It's best you let yourself sleep for even an hour and let these medicines do their work." She smiled kindly and indicated the Allamanda cloth. "If you yet wish to bring the Allamanda with you, by all means do so." Euphrasia shifted back to her feet in a rustle of skirts and placed a gentle hand upon Jeanelle's brow. "But for now, sleep, and when you wake you will feel much more like your old self in body, spirit and mind."

The twins obediently took the items from Euphrasia and gave Jaenelle caring looks. Even though she'd been a bit rough, it hadn't bothered them. They knew they'd be rather grumpy as well if they'd been set back like she was. With a soft pat on the bed, they departed to replace the goods they'd brought as it wouldn't do to forget and then need the medicines again only to have to go looking for it.

Aureus chuckled and shook his head as he placed the jar back in the cupboard, "Feisty."

Handing his jar to the other, Argentum nodded, "I'm almost afraid of when she wakes up again and can move around." They smiled and laughed softy before returning to the bed.

"Anything else?" It was a question directed both as Jaenelle and Euphrasia.

"Most likely." Aureus replied as they were addressed, "However, that decision is Euphrasia's, not ours." He smiled and glanced at the Three.

"If you can sleep without medication that would be best. We have soothing teas and balms that assist in going to sleep, if you would like those." Argentum didn't hurry off to retrieve said items, however, and waited upon Euphrasia's decision. He knew she would likely suggest such a thing but it was always better to be safe then jump to conclusions.
