Lex's duties for the day? Infirmary.
Lex enjoyed the infirmary, which he found surprising. It let him take care of people, and talk to them from time to time; when it wasn't one of the unconscious ones. Regal always made fun of him for enjoying helping people. Apparently nobility only helped when it made them look good.
Phooey on nobility. Lex picked up a clipboard, looking for any names that had left. None, unfortunately. A certain Miss Tanner had been put back in, though.
Lex made his way to her first, to see how she was doing. "You okay today? Words?" His smile and tone were gentle as he sat at the end of the redhead's cot, making some notes on the clipboard.

Ofelia had been napping, seeing as there was nothing else to do and the lack of Rue inside her hand granted her peace, but she stirred faintly at the sound of someone approaching. Before coming to Deus she used to be a heavy sleeper, nothing short of someone pouring water on her waking her up, but now that she was forced to learn to wake on a moment's notice she had no issues with faint sounds. Opening her eyes she turned and looked at the newcomer, trying to place his face.
Seeing as he was new (at least to her) she had no idea who he was. She could now, speaking wasn't as painful as it used to be, and she managed a weak grin in response to his question. He was asking if she could speak, a noble and common question she'd been asked many times before, and she had to swallow before attempting.
"Ah. . . yes. Ah. . . have ta go. . . slow, but. . . can talk." She responded, sounding raspy the entire time. For once she didn't show any pain as she spoke, her face calm and her eye not squinting in an effort to bear the stinging in her throat. "Who . . .might. . . ya. . . be?" It was easy enough to ask, she was still polite enough to do so, and Ofelia shifted on the cot until she was sitting upright. The sheets clung to her body, she'd been sweating with fear prior to her restless nap, and she moved the arm that didn't have an IV to rub the back of her neck. "Are. . . ya here ta. . . check up on me. . .?"
She really didn't need to ask, he had a clipboard in his hand, but part of her wanted to make sure just in case. Strangers poking and prodding her were never really welcome, even if she enjoyed the human contact and attention. This was just the negative type, she didn't enjoy that.Carhop Calvalier thanks for the RP! let's have fun!

Lex felt slightly bad for waking the teen up, but he had to do his job. He checked off the little box that asked if she had vocal capabilities yet, but made a note that she had to make slow sentences. At this point, Regal would have been saying how utterly filthy it was for him to be mixing with her. Lex smiled at that - no more Regal calling people filth.
"I'm Lex, kinda newish. Woke up a month ago." He smiled gently, flipping through his keyboard. "And you are Ofelia Tanner. Good to meet you." He patted her leg, a way to make up for a handshake.
He flipped a little bit more through her clipboard, piquing an eyebrow at the day's routine. Seemed she was due for a sponge bath.
Well then.
"Ofelia, how old are you?" His voice was level, albeit hints of worry seeped through.
He would have checked the clipboard if he weren't in a state of inner panic at the moment. He did not touch naked minors.

Ofelia raised an eyebrow at the question, her eye flicking to the chart this newcomer "Lex" had in his hand. All her information was written there, right? Everything about her including her blood type, right? If that was the case why did he need to ask? The questions about his question rolled through her mind but she was a little too tired to ask, a little too pained to really drag on a proper conversation. so, she answered. "Nine. . . teen?" There was a bit of a high note at the end of the word, trying to show she was asking a question while answering at the same time.
"Also. . . .'m. . Ofelia but. . . most jus'.. . call me Ofie." She paused and swallowed. "S'nice. . .meetcha Lex."
Seriously though she wondered why the heck he wanted to know her age.

"Oh, good. Just checking that your memory is still working properly. Amnesia can come at any time, you know." His voice was airy, flowing like melted butter. It was a complete lie, but he needed to cover it up. What was he going to say? 'Sorry, I freaked because I just recently had sex with an eighteen year old and I was scared about having sex with a minor because that's not okay.' Yeah, no.
"Well, I'll let you get undressed. I'll go get you a towel, and then we can head off to the tub, hm? Yes, very good." He gave her leg another pat, before walking out of the little area, closing the curtains.
Whew...no touching minors today. Thank God. He smiled slightly as he got a plain white towel, shaking his head at how much he'd freaked out.
Not smooth at all dude.

At the comment about her memory Ofelia wanted to nod her head, eye wide open as if she actually accepted what he said and thought it was a good idea. Only a few people had asked her anything, never anything about her memory, so she took it in at face value and believed ex was telling the truth.
Then he asked her to get undressed.
Wait, what what get undressed what? Ofelia wasn't used to be asked that. Actually, she'd never been asked that before and her apparent innocent nature mixed with a slur of strange thoughts in her head made her face light up like a red Christmas tree. If it weren't for the fact she was already flushed from fever and everything else it would have been more noticeable.
Still . . .he told her to get undressed, right? The teen looked down at her shoulders and torso the best she could, her neck not really allowing any movement that wouldn't cause her pain, and since she couldn't find any reason not to the red-head casually pulled her top off. Nearly every inch of her upper body was covered in bandages, or at least her shoulders, breasts, and the majority of her throat was, so taking her top off didn't show as much skin as one might have thought. Ofelia would wait for the towel though to wrap around her hips.
She didn't have a problem showing off the girls, modesty about breasts was entirely overrated, but anything else was something she'd rather not do. Being half-naked was okay, but full-on naked in front of a stranger was something else entirely. "Lex. . . 'm ready." She called out to him, wondering if he'd be back with the towel soon.
Ofelia also wondered if she'd have to tell him that she had a hard time walking and would probably have to be carried.

Ofelia would see a hand holding a towel poke through the curtains, and hear the owner's voice say "Alright, now wrap this around your body. Holler when you're done, I need to go check the charts one more time."
When she'd taken the towel, Lex began flipping through her charts more. Basic things like blood type, injuries, medication that needed to be replaced, all sorts of things. The broken leg would make things...interesting. Snorting lightly in amusement, the tall man grabbed a few rolls of bandages from a cupboard, a bar of soap, and a sponge.
This would be fun.

As she thought before, seeing as her chest was already one massive covered bandages, Ofelia just wrapped the towel about her waist before slipping off the final bits of clothing. It felt weird, like she was at a horrible costume party as a badly dressed anything, but seeing as she was tired and Lex was supposed to be helping her with someone an argument would have been pointless.
He'd said tub, did that mean she was getting a bath? Her mind thought back to others baths she'd had here and how they'd been from a lady or mostly done when she was sleeping. And also mostly fully dressed. And sleeping.
There was no point in being modest, or worrying or whatever, because all her time here had lead to her being constantly poked and prodded and touched and whatever else. Modesty at Deus just didn't seem to belong to her and well she had to accept that.
"M. . . m....ready." She coughed a little at the end of it and moved so she was sitting up a bit more. Ofelia had the intent to hobble the best she could to the bathroom, meaning Lex wouldn't have to touch her if he didn't want to, and so she gave herself mental reassurance as she waited. Ofelia knew her body was gross to look at, probably worse to touch, so she wasn't going to push her luck. "Whenever. .. . yer ready too. . . "

Lex's mouth turned to a concerned little frown at the girl's cough, thinking that no, that was definitely not a good thing. He already knew she'd have trouble just breathing, but moving? That wasn't going to happen. He'd carry her to the showers, sit her down, and bathe her that way.
Having never given anyone a sponge bath in his life, Lex was pretty much flying by the seat of his pants on this one. "Alright, I'm coming in!" He called, having produced a pail from a cupboard and putting the other supplies in the bucket. Just was he was about to put an arm around the girl to sling him over his shoulder, a nurse asked just what in the hell he was doing and why he was being ignorant, and then proceeded to explain how to give someone a sponge bath.
Oh....
"Um...I'll go fetch water; you just...sit still?" He actually managed to stammer, closing the curtains and heading for the sink.
Now was when Regal would be calling him an idiot.

"Well. . . .okay." Wait what were they going to be doing now? Ofelia was pretty sure he'd said something about a bath, that's why she got undressed, and now he was looking red and wandering off? Did she do something wrong?
Lex had been talking to a nurse, maybe that was why he looked so flustered, and Ofelia sort of chuckled about it (inwardly) as she stayed seated. It wasn't really her place to argue about anything, she wasn't well enough to do so just yet. At the very most, or very least, all she could do was sit there and let people take care of her.
One day, one day, she would escape out of here and then do something. Whatever that something was she hadn't thought it over just yet. For now though she could at least maybe but Lex's mind at ease? She had no idea why she needed to but it was always a nice thing to do. "Are ya. . . okay?"

"Yeah...just fine, sorry." He called back, trying to keep his voice calm and not flustered. He...didn't know how to feel about this, honestly. Sponge bathing just seemed so...intimate. Then again, she was 19....
Sighing inwardly, Lex moved back into the curtained off area, bringing a pail of water with him, along with a sponge and some soap. He gave the teen a small smile, before clearing his throat. "Alright...we're going to need to take the bandages off." Calm, steady voice. He put a hand on Ofie's back, leaning her forward as he began the process of slowly and tenderly unwrapping the bandages around her chest, making a point not to look at anything but her face as he let her lie back down. Another small smile, and Lex brought up the sponge, damp with soapy water.
"Alright, I'll be doing most of the washing here. But if you could clean your breasts and loins for me, that'd be great." The smallest hint of blushes crept up the man's face as he put the sponge in the teen's hand, again making sure to not look down.

Loins. Who the hell said loins anymore? Ofelia turned and looked at him, at least the best she could turn given her wounds and everything else, and her cheeks flushed red as she did her best to keep in her laughter. It was obvious this was making him far more terrified or uncomfortable than it was her and since he was here to help in all his wonderful glory it would have been horrible to rub it all in.
"Ya dun....gotta...act so...shy. Ah'm not...modest." Her words were muffled since she was somewhat on her stomach, using her arms as a prop to keep herself from laying entirely on her chest. All her wounds were there, of course, and so it was in her best interests to not suffocate herself or make them any worse. For the moment her hair was up in a bun on her head, she always pulled it up for baths, but maybe when it came time to sit up she'd let it down to cover herself so he'd feel better? It was long enough if she was sitting to hide most everything, and she did have a towel.
What else was there for her to say though? Talking hurt, he seemed to not want to say anything to her, so this bath was going to be a wonderful ball of boring an awkward. At least she could ask questions though. "How does. . . .mah back look? Was Ah...wounded on it? Ah know'..a. mah...shoulders, but. . . not much else."
There was also one more thing. "Ah...can't raise mah arms...high 'nough ta wash mah... shoulders or...most of chest." That involved a certain level of bending she just couldn't do yet.Carhop Calvalier teee hee lex so cute also sorry for delay, went somewhere without internet )=

Lex didn't actually say loins in most situations, especially not to women, but...this was a nurse/patient sort of deal. Fortunately for most of the Deus women, Lex had a clear line drawn in the sand between possible sexual partners and patients; you didn't have sex with current patients. After they were out of the infirmary? Sure, why not. But not while they were in his care.
"Well, I'm not the most modest either, but...well, this is just..." Delicate ways to put this. How did he say this without making himself look like the biggest pansy in the world? "This is intimacy on a whole different scale than what I'm used to, if you catch my drift.:"
A wink, just in case she didn't.
When she turned, he gave a small sigh of relaxation. Okay, check on the back. Nothing bad, just her shoulders. "Your back is fine for the most part." His voice was back to a smooth and normal pace, and he began to gently dab the soaked sponge along her back and shoulders, working his way down slowly.
"Pardon my asking, but what got you in this condition? The sheet says you were attacked by one of those monsters, but...are they really capable of doing all this?"

"Oh. Ah...guess?" Ofelia totally didn't catch his drift but well there wasn't a whole lot of things Ofelia really grasped quickly when it came to things like innuendo or. . .well, basic flirting interactions. People didn't flirt with Ofelia so Ofelia didn't flirt back which lead to awkward 95% of the time.
Or maybe more like 99.9% of the time since sometimes she flirted back without thinking or knowing she was flirting. That was always, always rough. His wink didn't really clear that up, she just assumed he had something in his eye or was twitching because he was nervous. Poor Lex, poor Ofelia.
Ofelia was glad to know her back was okay, that the pain was all just in her shoulders, and she let out a sight of relief and practically melted into the bed. If she was torn up all over her body she wouldn't really know what to do - a girl covered entirely in scars wasn't that pretty, but one that had a few could be overlooked.
Then came his question, and she thought best how to answer. "It. . . transformed. Was. . . .a girl...thing? Ah...think an' then. . . jus' teeth an' rage." Her runic she'd been carrying had shattered and then nothing, just white light and pain was all that followed. "Some...kinda werewolf...undead...zombie. Ah didn'. . . " She had to pause in her speech, taking a moment to breath properly. All this talking, even if her throat was still recovering enough she could huff it out, was killing her a bit. "Ah'd never thought. . . one could do so much. . . but it. . . shocked me. So...feral?" The girl-monster had seemed crazed, and if Ofelia had been thinking better she'd have run.

Giving a small frown at Ofelia's struggling to speak, wondering if he should be talking to her even. Maybe come back when she was sleeping, finish the job up? But that would seem incredibly rude. He'd just have her not talk as much for the rest of their time together.
A zombie...werewolf thing? That seemed a little over the top to the Life trainee, like something from a really really awful slasher film. He shrugged, and continued to sponge along her messed up shoulders, very gingerly.
"Strange. Maybe this one just wasn't in control of her powers?" A soft hum in the back of his throat, pondering that possibility. "They are shipped off to schools to learn to control their powers, from what I've gathered. Maybe this one was some kind of runaway."
Finished with her back and shoulders, Lex pulled the sheet back a little, gulping. He didn't understand why this was so hard - he'd seen plenty of posteriors before. Inwardly sighing, he began to dab away at the girl's behind, watching his hands very intently.Rown HEY SORRY FOR THE LATE TAG, I WENT CAMPING!
