[erbier]

[ A gasp, a whisper of something where there had been a stark silence before, and then a pull. A grasp from the deep, leveraging its way from beneath the water only by pulling down another.

Precarious, but harmless as she awakens, her siren call weakening as she breaks the surface, at last. Awake. Everywhere and nowhere, unshielded. Reborn again upon the shores. ]

ooc; newbies should stop her anywhere for action, and anyone who wants to greet her face to face should juuust say so and I will tell you where she is at that moment. she's not really controlling what goes where so threadjack away.

[ It's a relief to realize she's awake again; the worst part of the comas, Sam thinks, is not knowing when or whether someone's going to wake up again.

Uncertainty sucks. ]

( Hey. )

[erbier]

[ Ah, her little Sam. She knows how he feels. She has watched those she cares about rise and fall, and others who have never risen again. She expands that compassion, swaddles him up in it for as long as he lets her. ]

( I am here. )

[headinjuries]

( I'm glad you're up. We were worried. )

[erbier]

( I'm sorry, I did not mean to worry you. )

[headinjuries]

( Hey, don't apologize. I mean, it's not like you chose to pass out for a week, right? )

[erbier]

( I prefer to give others strength, not strife. )

[headinjuries]

( Well, now you're back, so you can. )

[erbier]

[ A spark of bemusement. Is he... comforting her this time? ]

( It is strange, to receive what I normally provide. )

[headinjuries]

( That's good though? I mean, I'd feel like a jerk if it always you doing stuff for me and never the other way around. )

[erbier]

( I wouldn't expect it. But it is sweet, thank you. )

[headinjuries]

( Anytime.

Do you need anything? Sleeping for like a week's gotta make you hungry or something, right? )

[erbier]

( I... )

[ The thought trails off as she starts to think about it. ]

( You're right, I am very hungry. )

[headinjuries]

( I'm not like the best cook in the nest or anything, but I make a pretty okay breakfast burrito. )

[erbier]

( I... do not know what that is. But I would be happy to try it. )

[headinjuries]

( I was about to explain and then I realized that I dunno if they have tortillas where you're from, either, so that might not help.

Eating it's probably the better way to find out, anyway. )

[erbier]

( We did not have much food at all. )

[ That seems to be the simplest way to carefully cross all options off. ]

( I will come join you shortly. )

[headinjuries]

( No rush. I'll be here whenever you're ready. )

[erbier]

[ She could probably also use a change of clothes and to... shower... That'd all be fabulous.

She'll come... peer over his shoulder on the couch in a bit. ]

[headinjuries]

[ He waits around instead of getting started, since it's not going to take long enough that it's worth the possibility of it getting cold, so he's still surfing the extranet when she approaches - but closes that window and twists around to face her. ]

Hey.
