After the confrontation with Brand, Kate had been in the infirmary, but there was little to be done there. Injuries for the most part were minimal, at least physically. All the trauma was on the mind and the soul, and that had been left very tattered after the demon was torn forcefully from her body. She had been so weakened that when the demon finally took full control, Kate's side had been flung aside and locked away. And now, that consciousness remained asleep, unaware still that its former roommate was gone. And with no active mind present to animate the body, the body breathed, the heart beat, and the body slept on, recovering. It was resting on Kate's bed in her room. Nothing to note the hours passing during the lengthy slumber.

"Most o'a week, take yer time. Felt like this after bein' captured. Ye're na to push yerself, aye."

He tries to sound stern but she's just his Kate and grins at her as he gets more water.

[nothawkingbird.livejournal.com]

She just nodded, and accepted the water readily. It was hard to force herself to take sips rather than gulping it down. Only make herself sick that way. Right now, all the focus was on recovering. She couldn't even begin to think about recent events. Not yet.

[will_scarlett]

He strokes her hair and gives her a kiss on the forehead,

"Ye're back an safe, na goin' anywhere, love. When ye're ready, can get ye some broth."

[nothawkingbird.livejournal.com]

"It's all quiet. Just me." There was a small smile back at him, more real than anything she's done these past couple of months.

[will_scarlett]

For that she gets a gentle kiss on the lips before he goes back to massaging her arms and legs,

"Wish for more water or wish to try bit o'broth?"

[nothawkingbird.livejournal.com]

" A little broth." She needed to regain her strength again, but it would be easier to do so now she wasn't fighting anything.

[will_scarlett]

He actually has a thermos ready just in case she woke up sooner and pours it into a mug.

The broth is one of Bar's specialties, packed full of lots of good things to get her healthy soon.

[nothawkingbird.livejournal.com]

Like with the water, she was going to take her time and sip it down slowly. She did start to feel a little better with getting some nutrients again, and there was more color to her face from the heat of the soup.

[will_scarlett]

As she drinks he stays beside her and rubs her back just watching over her,

"If ye wish, love, can run ye a bath."

[nothawkingbird.livejournal.com]

She glanced down at herself, and took a cautionary sniff. And then sank down on the bed a little, her cheeks turning red.

" ...I think I need it." Nearly a week in bed does not do a body good in terms of BO.

[will_scarlett]

Will wasn't thinking about that actually,

"Just thought would 'elp the stiffness was all."

Medieval boyfriend does have its perks at times,

"I'll get it goin'."

He gives her a kiss on the forehead before getting the water going.

[nothawkingbird.livejournal.com]

"Oh. That too."

She's just gonna hide her blushing face under the covers nao ok?

[will_scarlett]

Soon the bathroom is smelling of lots of scents, he decided to put in bubbles and oils and everything for her.

He comes out and pulls the covers up to smile at her,

"Why are ye 'idin', love?"

[nothawkingbird.livejournal.com]

"Because my face matches your hair?"

[will_scarlett]

"Canna think why. Come on out, ye look lovely."

He even kisses her nose to prove it.

[nothawkingbird.livejournal.com]

Rueful smile back at Will, and she slowly went to stand up, supporting herself. Damn, still felt really weak.

[will_scarlett]

So he moves in to hold her and support her,

"Can carry ye in if ye wish, love."

[nothawkingbird.livejournal.com]

"What about your side though?"

[will_scarlett]

"Can support each other then, isna too far."

He stands up and tries to help her up too, balancing their weights.

[nothawkingbird.livejournal.com]

She leaned against him, and tried to re-distribute her weight as best as she could so it wouldn't be too much for him.

[will_scarlett]

The walk to the bathroom is slow but they manage it and he carefully sets her on the toilet as he turns off the water,

"Test it for me, love, wish it to be right for ye."

[nothawkingbird.livejournal.com]

She slowly reached out to dip her toes in the water, and then nodded. It was hot, but not too hot.

"Don't have to ask but undress me please?" Hard to contort her body around to do so herself for the time being.

[will_scarlett]

"Aye, course, 'ere to take care o'ye."

Gently he helps her take off the outfit she wearing, giving light kisses to each new bruise and injury,

"All set, now lets get ye feelin' more at ease."

[nothawkingbird.livejournal.com]

She then gingerly went to move and sit down in the bath, carefully supporting herself so she wouldn't fall.

"...Well, now you know how I'd be as an old lady."

She laughed, and then coughed a little. "I'm fine."

[will_scarlett]

"I'll get ye some tea to drink while ye soak. An ye'll be beautiful an strong an full o''umor with grey in yer 'air."

He gives her a small kiss before in a few moments returns with some vanilla chai for her.
