Welcome to Gaia! ::

Lance's leg twitched. He was currently sinking into one of the chairs set about the hospital room he was in. After the ordeal, he had brought Ali home and promptly squirreled the two of them in Ava's car and drive to the hospital. The blonde had come up with some fabricated lie about how the two had been out on what they called a 'Best Friend's Day on the town' and they were on their way home when they had been jumped by some ruddy gang and mugged. Both had obviously tried to put up a fight and Alistair got the worst of it.

Both Avacyn and Alistair were ushered off quickly to get the needed x-rays and casting done to set the bones that were broken. Ava had been done for pretty close to an hour now. She sported a cast both on her leg and the better part of her lower and upper arm. In all honesty, the cast almost looked like it was eating her arm instead of protecting it. Now they were just waiting on Alistair.

Lance had sworn six ways from Sunday that he wouldn't leave until they heard anything and even then he wouldn't leave until she said it was okay. Damn leg jittering. He had to stop. Avacyn was currently looking at him funny for it. "Sorry." Lance muttered as he sat up and leaned on his legs in a desperate attempt to make it stop. "Did you, uhm, want me to call anyone? Do you need anything? From home?"

"You know you're welcome any time Ava... You can stay with us until..." He shrugged a shoulder. "You know..." Ali would most likely be crashing in his room for the next few weeks. Ava could have the spare if she wanted. He leaned over and gently took her good hand, giving it a small squeeze. "He'll be fine.." The blonde said as he offered her a smile. "Alistair might be a skinny thing, but he's no push over. You're both gonna be okay."

He blinked in surprise. "Uhm.. I don't have any problem with it, and Alistair probably won't either... Maybe just run it by Aaron so he knows? But since you live down the hall from us I don't think he'd have a problem." He shrugged off handily. Lance shook his head, giving her hand another small squeeze. "I don't think they'd mind too much. Besides, I think you're kind of guaranteed the time off." The blonde said as he gestured towards her casted leg.

"It's alright you know... He get's the same way. Do you remember the thing at the park that we did when we met?" The teen asked softly. "He got attacked by one of those things and so he doesn't like going out alone anymore. But it will be alright Ava. We're all looking out for each other."

"It'll be okay Ava. We'll tell them both, and we'll see about sending people off in teams of two if we have too." Hell, maybe Leto and Remarque would go off in search of this senshi themselves and resolve the issue. Standing, Lance moved to sit on the bed before hugging the girl. "You're not alone Ava. You've got Alistair and I, and the rest are all here for you too. You can call any of us if you feel the need too. Don't cry.. It's okay."

"I'll go with you if you want." He offered, as if picking up on the girls fear. Lance blinked almost stupidly between the two of them before hugging her one last time. "I'm just down the hall." The blonde reminded her before slipping from the room with a wave.

In all honesty, Lance all but walked down the hall and into Alistair's room. He sighed once inside, leaning against the door for a moment before dragging himself over to the bed. Not bothering with the chair that sat beside the bed, Lance just sat on the edge of the bed before reaching over and brushing his boyfriends bangs out of his eyes. "Alistair..."

Leaning over, Lance kissed Alistair's forehead while his hand moved to rest on the boy's cheek. It already was bad. Both arms in casts and the gods only knew what else. "How are you feeling? Drugged to the high heavens?"

"The fact you even have to ask that is insulting." Lance snorted. The blonde looked his boyfriend over for a minute, thinking quietly to himself. Sleeping would be difficult. But doable.. Perhaps they'd camp out on the couch bed for a while.. "Ava's going to be staying with us for a bit. She asked if it was okay to have a friend over and I told her I had no problem with it if Aaron gave the okay."

"She left your scarf and a note tied to a tree. It seems kind of redundant to do that only to leave you there." Lance shrugged dismissively. It seemed like every time they got out of a crowded place, fate had a way of shoving them back into one. "You'll be here for a few days you know.. What do you want me to tell your parents? Do you even want them knowing??" Mr Holmes, Alistair's father, had a particular knack for showing up unannounced, and uninvited just to make sure they were behaving. He still didn't exactly trust Lance, never mind that he and Alistair had been dating for a year and a half already.
