The trip to the infirmary was an unavoidable one even if Nellie didn't think initially that her injuries were serious enough to warrant such attention. Someone had found her watching over both Shu and Leslie at the beach, reassured her that they would be brought to the infirmary and tended to accordingly. She remembered getting onto her feet on the beach and feeling extremely dizzy and then nothing.
The next thing she knew was waking up in the infirmary with her entire face swathed in slightly bloodstained bandages, feeling lethargic and feverish. Because of the concussion that she had, she wasn't allowed any of the stronger painkillers or to sleep fitfully for long which only made her feel more miserable since there was only so much that Niffy could do to dampen everything that she was going through. She really couldn't wait to get out of the infirmary. Just two or three days max was what she was told so long as there were no complications.

Cain hadn't been able to keep up with Nellie when everything had happened, it had all been so fast. Luckily though he had managed to escape things no worse for wear. Seeing her name on the list of those in the infirmary while on duty Cain made a point to visit the girl once he was done with things. But before that visit making a quick stop in the cafeteria with a special bread cutter.
A knock on the door and the lifer entered, just a hint of a smile on face as he came. "Nellie?" He called gently almost into the room holding a plastic wrapped plate in his hands unsure if the woman would even be able to take what he had brought but bringing it anyways.

Nellie was dozing lightly, the culminating fatigue from being woken up every two hours to assess her mental status over the past 12 hours evidently taking its toll on her with the bloodshot eyes that she now sported. Although the knocking on the door was barely registered on her senses, the familiar masculine voice that eventually followed with her name did and had her sitting upright in an instant.
Cain? How did he find out that she was here in the infirmary when she already had been very careful in preventing anyone from finding that out?
She chewed on her lip, relieved to see that he was relatively unscathed. She had been so very worried that something untoward might have happened to him during the attack but hadn't had a chance to check in on him. Now that the Lifer was here however, she found herself caught between a mix of wanting him to stay yet at the same time not at all wanting him to see her like this. She tightened her grip on the blanket, pulling it up to her neck as she shook her head a few times.
"W-Wrong room. Nellie's not here."
She might have been able to better pull this off had she simply shook her head without saying anything.

Horace had spent several hours wandering the infirmary. After all, a lot of his friends were currently crispy or broken or some combination of the above. He whistled lightly as he walked, in a light(ish) mood despite everything. His mood abruptly dimmed as he saw yet another familiar name. Without warning, Horace shoved his way into the room.
"Nelliegirl - you in here?" If he had thought, he might have been a little quieter in case she was sleeping, but the pile of bandages lying in bed alarmed him.

Nellie was propped upright in the bed and in the middle of eating, or more like pushing her food around the plate with a fork, when Horace pushed open the door and walked right in. She stopped what she was doing immediately, her fork dropped onto the plate with a loud clang which made her wince while she weighed her options. Judging by the question that was posed, the Death Intermediate probably couldn't recognise her beneath the bandages that momentarily mummified her entire face save for her eyes, nose and lips.
"... Horace?"
She had to quell the instinctive reaction to run and hide, mainly because logically speaking she wasn't going to be able to take three steps out of the bed without running the risk of being incapacitated by the vertigo plus that would only worry her friend even more, which was something that she was actively trying to avoid or at least minimise as far as possible at the moment.
"What's Horace doing here?"

"Horace is visiting you, Nellie." he said, gently teasing. That it was her both relaxed and alarmed him - he hadn't thought she was hurt so badly, but everything was lost in a haze of running. He moved over to sit on the corner of her bed.
"Why didn't you tell anyone you were here?"

If Nellie couldn't run, she could pretend to be tired by yawning and hiding under the blanket. Maybe Horace would go away then and be saved from having to worry about her. She grabbed the edge of the blanket and gave it a tug, chewing on her lip when she realised that it was unmovable because the Death hunter was seated atop it at the corner of the bed.
"Nellie doesn't want anyone to worry." Letting go of the blanket, she gazed timidly at him, feeling like a child who had just been caught with his hand in the cookie jar. Once their gaze met, she quickly averted it before adding. "It's nothing serious really..."

Melvin opened the door slowly, not sure of Nellie was awake. A small bag was dangling by his side. Short notice left him with wanting to see the young woman without knowing what to bring. He knew he always liked small pick-me-ups.
"Nellie?" He whispered, closing the door behind him softly.

Horace groaned and placed a hand dramatically over his heart. "I worry more when I find you here at random, you idiot." Normally, he would reach out and pat her head or something, but he wasn't sure the extent of her injuries.
"So how long are they keeping you and what exactly is wrong, Nellie." Horace had a sort of patient expression on his face, one that said he would wait until she spilled every detail.

Nellie focused her attention back on Horace at the groan. This was exactly what she was afraid would happen if anyone learnt that she was at the infirmary. People would worry, find her a bother and some day decide that she wasn't worth the trouble anymore and leave her. That wasn't something she wanted. "Sorry. Nellie will do a better job next time. How did Horace find Nellie though?"
Chewing on her lip again, she nudged the tray table aside, trying to avoid answering the questions for now lest it made matters worse. "Does it matter? Nellie should be out soon..."

Rest for the Restless
Nellie couldn't sleep despite wanting very much to do that right now. The Mist was staring up at the ceiling and counting sheep when she heard the door click open and someone whispering her name.
"... Melvin?"
Kicking the sheets off, she quickly sat up, rubbing at her eyes before reaching for the console to turn up the brightness of the overhead lights in the currently semi-dark room.

"Because, Nelliegirl," He wrinkled his nose at her. "I'm a very, very nosy person. If you think you're gonna hide, I'll find you." Horace honestly hated it when his friends didn't tell him what was going on, or that they were seriously hurt, or anything. When he was in the infirmary, part of what kept him sane were his friends.
He reached over and pinched her lightly on the arm, being one of the few areas he was sure was uninjured. "Of course it matters! I'm glad you'll be out soon, but you gotta keep me in the loop." Horace huffed at her. "By the way, do you want a book or anything while you're here? Or I can read to you?"

Nellie wrinkled her nose at him as well. "Nellie will just have to hide better... ow..." She quickly pulled her arm back, rubbing the pinched spot as she gave Horace a hurt puppy look for his trouble and wondered why he did that.
< He's upset that you intentionally kept the extent of your injuries and being here in the infirmary from him. Do you know that not knowing anything is going to make him worry even more? > Niflheim offered with a sigh.
Nellie nodded at that. "... they said that Nellie's got a concussion and a wound infection from fighting at the beach." She finally relented, a tentative look on her face as she watched her friend closely to see how he would react to all that.
"Even the... sex stuff?"

"Oh, you're awake." He whispered, moving closer to see her. "I hope you weren't sleeping." He moved to where he heard her voice, stepping over to the bed to be in view. In the soft dark, it was hard to tell what condition she was in. Bag in hand, he moved over to check her chart.
"I heard you got admitted." His voice was soft and hushed, eyes dropping down to look over the details of her medical chart as was his fashion.

He frowned. "You will not hide better, Nellie. I'm allowed to worry about you!" Then Horace deliberately gentled his face and tone, sighing. He was worried about her, but yelling would do nothing to help a girl with a concussion. Making a funny face, he pulled a book from his pocket. Battered, it was a dime-store paperback romance, one he'd not found particularly diverting. But, then again, Horace did not find many romance novels interesting anymore.
"You want me to read? I read the 'sex stuff' aloud all the time, Nellie. Hattie insists on it. You want me to read that too?" He laughed and raised one eyebrow, daring her to say yes. The racy stuff was exactly three chapters in.

"Nellie tried. Can't seem to fall asleep though." Nellie winced when the full brightness of the overhead lights hurt her eyes and caused her head to throb warningly, turning it down a notch so that it was more tolerable for her before putting the console aside to peer at Melvin.
Some of the bandages had come off yesterday. The rest of it changed with a note made in her chart of what was probably an early infection of her upper back wound that she was started a short course of meds for. She let him mull over the chart for a while, growing worried by the second as silence hung in the air till she finally ventured to ask. "Is it time for the next round of checking and pill taking?"

"Still... sorry." Although Nellie still felt bad about Horace worrying about her as well as the possible consequences if she allowed him to continue doing that, she couldn't help smiling at his endearing attempts to lighten the situation and cheer her up.
Her cheeks were flushed and warm when he went on to attest to the fact that he had a habit of reading aloud the embarrassing sex stuff from the books that he owned all the time. A distant look crossing her face momentarily when she thought of Cain then before she focused her attention back on the Death hunter and nodded to give him the go ahead. "Yeah. Who's Hattie though?" Pulling her knees up to her chest, she patted on an empty spot on the bed for him to sit.
