Hushed rumours were all they were right? What has really happened to Sasha since she'd last seen her? A lot if said rumours were more fact than idle gossip.
Rin approached the infirmary, quite hopeful that it was all just bullshit. Made up then telephoned a bit too far down the line. Still. That sickening feeling in her gut lingered so she nudged the door open only a crack to peek inside.
Much to her horror; things turned out all too real.
She quickly backed up from the slightly ajar door. Mind racing with all sorts of questions and thoughts she didn't intend to harass the woman with. Especially not right off the bat.
Her gaze darted about the hallway and suddenly fell upon....
She burst in the room pushing what she would consider a 'care cart'. Full of all sorts of goodies to get her friend on their feet again, "Saashaaa?" she called out.

Sasha did not mind the peace that came with the solitude that the infirmary forced upon her. It was interspersed by enough visits from Wash to be tolerable - he'd been a loyal presence, though Sasha was frustrated that he felt the need to worry over her. It hadn't been part of the deal, but Sasha couldn't help that their understanding was changing as each day passed.
When Rin's voice rang out, Sasha set aside the book she'd been reading. Nona's bond had worked wonders on her broken ribs - while she ached still, and it hurt to breathe, Sasha had been declining all offers of pain medication. No, she was still expecting Rep at any moment - she couldn't afford to be weak and woozy. There was too much at stake, too much to lose. Clarity was a priceless commodity.
"Rin."
A smile lifted the corners of Sasha's lips. Just as Otto was, Rin was one of hers. Sasha eyed the cart.
"What are you .. what's on the cart?"

"All kinds of things," Rin answered as the cart rattled and jerked about until it came to a full stop at Sasha's side. It contained a tray of food with extra servings of "the good stuff" ie; an extra brownie. Food aside there were various medical supplies, personal care items - some a lot more embarrassing than others and implied the possibility of being naked - like everything for a sponge bath as well as a fresh hospital gown.
Rin didn't seem to notice the more embarrassingly implied objects and any connotations most would assume followed.
"Hungry?"

Sasha's lips formed an imperfect line as she stared at the things that littered the surface of the cart.
"What did you bring to eat? I'd kill for some real food."
As if on cue her stomach snarled.
Sasha lifted her gaze to meet Rin's before she asked bluntly, "What have you heard?"

"The best I could find really," Rin sounded almost apologetic before attempting to place the bed table over Sasha and the tray on top so she could eat. It was mostly what looked like chicken in a spicy gravy with mashed potatoes, green beans, and a soft buttered dinner roll. There was extra meat and brownies.
She offered Sasha a plastic spork before looking confused by the question, "About.... how you got here? Nothing. I only heard rumors you were in the infirmary and well... ... tah-dah?" She was frowning rather deeply as she spoke but as soon as she answered forced the frown and all feelings associated as far down as she possibly could.

The chicken with the spicy gravy was immediately disregarded - Sasha didn't even want to think about how that would feel against the lacerations on her lip. The potatoes caused a ravenous purr to rumble in her chest. The stitches would be removed soon, but for now they were an utter annoyance.
However, they didn't make the potatoes any less delicious.
"It was Rep."

Rin watched attentively as Sasha seemed to enjoy the potatoes at least. Good, she was well enough to e- "WHAT?" She questioned a lot louder than she had intended and quickly cleared her throat to try and smooth it over. "I-I mean, he did? Why? What happened? I..," deep breaths Rin, deep breaths.
"I just... I've been kind of out of the loop lately?"

"A lot has happened. A lot has changed."
Sasha lifted an arm to support her ribs as she swirled the fork around in the potatoes.
"I don't even know where to start. Things changed after the horsemen had us. But.. even before then, things were different. I just."
She cleared her throat.
"We've had an issue since he got cuffed. Rep and I, I mean."

"Start where we left off?" Rin offered before looking around for a chair, "Is it okay if I sit?" and dragging one over preemptively.
"I just... I remember you two were having troubles when he was cuffed. Then... well... s**t happened... is it still going on then?"

"Of course."
A strange smile flickered across Sasha's slightly swollen lips.
"It won't stop until one of us is dead, I suppose. And since... well. You know, I could have killed him recently, Rin. I could have, but I didn't."
Her eyes shot up to meet the other woman's.
"It's so much fun to watch him suffer."

Rin assumed her lack of argument meant she could safely sit at Sasha's side and did just that. But then as she made this executive decision... s**t seemed to get real enough to warrant a quirk of a brow, "What exactly do you... ... like... ... uh..." her hands were moving constantly now as she struggled to find a way to ask... what exactly Sasha was up to and what about it felt... this good? Instead, she just looked confused and tongue tied, "Uhhh...."

Sasha let out a soft, husky laugh, face pinched in pain as she finally settled.
"Like I said. A lot has changed. It's.. I don't know. I loathe him, hmm? But at the same time he just."
She shrugged.
"There's something about it all that thrills me. Did you know he tried to stab me - he did stab me - when he thought I was weaponless? Just after this last mission when everyone came back with tablets."

Rin staaared at Sasha long and thoughtful, "He tried to kill you?"
This was her conclusion for what his intent in that could have been, "Or did he knowingly march up to a bear and..." her hands were moving again as she struggled to find words.

"He tried to kill me, I'm almost certain."
She lifted her and, wincing slightly, as she rested it against her abdomen, low and off center.
"Here."

Rin watched curiously, "Can I see?" Why did she look so interested in this? "I mean. If you want."
