Topic: Mira Receives a Visitor

Duci

As everyone else filtered out for the Isle, Duci instead slipped out the back door and headed for the Marketplace. She stopped at a vendor selling flowers, and purchased a pot of daisies. A soft smile spread across her face as she decided this was the perfect 'get better' sort of thing someone needed. Flowers always made her happy, would they make Mira happy, as well"

She hoped so.

It took her longer than expected to reach the clinic on foot, but she regally entered through the front not feeling the least fatigued. A smile was cast for Phyllia. "Hello, Phyllia. Which way to Mirabelle's room?"

Phyllia kindly indicated which way to go, and she moved that way with a delighted 'thank you' over her shoulder.

Remembering Maranya's rules, and the advising nurse on hand reminded her, too, she set down the pot to pull on gloves and a mask over her face. A nod of permission from the attendant before she allowed herself to sweep into Mirabelle's room, potted plant in hand and a smile on her face.

"Hello, sweetie. I heard you are on the road to recovery! So I brought flowers and good company. How are you feeling?" she gabbed off all in one breath.

The dragoness was pregnant,so naturally she was taking it slow. A few icy blue flowers clutched in a forepaw, she had to check in on her friend Mira.

The clinic would be a new experience for her, as she probably was to the staff who seemed to gape and stare as she waddled by. Well a few at least, moving toward the room where she'd heard Mira lay, she settled just outside the door.

Mask and gloves only, she didn't think they had anything large enough, or fitting for a dragon so she'd remain guard outside, just shy of the quarantine zone, she couldn't take any chances and risk losing her little ones after all, though she called out softly to the woman laying in the bed:: Mira, I'm here.

The pain medications, or perhaps it was some magic work, made Mira feel like she was floating somewhere between sleep and wakefulness. It did not matter all that much to Mira what it was that kept the pain and any painful memories and thoughts away. She frowned slightly when she heard the door open and close. She'd prefer remaining in this pleasant state. But when she heard Duci's cheering voice a smile grew on her lips. "Duci, you sound wonderful." It took Mira another minute to win the inner argument with her eyelids and get them to open. When she spoke again, she even sounded more awake. "Daisies. I love daisies. I love your company even better." "Recovery is a pretty word, isn't it?" Mira tried to raise her arms for a hug, but they turned out to be more stubborn than her eyelids had been. She would just enjoy Duci's cheering presense to the fullest and owe her a hug. She'd pay up just as soon as her limbs would listen to her wishes again. Then Mira head Icer's voice. "I must be dreaming still. Icer's supposed to hatch cute babies." But perhaps it was real. "I'm here, and Duci is, too." She tried to raise her voice so Icer would hear, but the effort was not of much use.

"Why thank you, beautiful. You sound like honey this eve." She smiled for Mira warmly, setting the pot beside her bed. "I am thrilled to hear you like daisies, they reminded me of you, honey."

She smoothed out the back of her dress before taking a seat beside Mira's bed, one hand extending to wrap the gloved incased fingers around Mira's hand delicately. "Recovery is a wonderful word, and you will be out of here before you know it. Anya just got her license back." A soft squeeze for the girl's hand. "It is okay, doll, no need to move."

Duci glanced over to the door at the sound of the dragon's voice, a chuckle at Mira words. "She probably postponed so that she could do it when you are feeling better and will be able to be present." A playful grin swam across her face as she looked back to Mira. Another soft squeeze of Mira's hand. She turned back to the door, raising her voice so that Icer could hear her. "Mira heard you, Icer. I, Duci, am sitting here with her. She says hello."

She dipped back down to Mira's face. "Anything else you want me to tell her?"

"Honey." Mira started to giggle, but suppressed it fast when she noticed it was uncomfortable to do so. "It feels more like sandpaper to me."

"The doctors here are all wonderful." Mira shared Duci's confidence in their skill. Her mind foggy her reaction to the news regarding Maranya was delayed.

"I'm very happy for Anya. She should have a party for everyone to celebrate." Maranya being able to once again follow her calling should be like dark heavy cloud having lifted from everyone who cared for her. Mira certainly felt that way.

So she wasn't dreaming. Another wave of warmth spread through Mira when Duci confirmed that Icer was really on the other side of the door. It felt very much like the healing magic, only better.

"Yes, please. Thank you. Seeing you and hearing Icer is better than medicine." It was better than medicine, too. Now she was looking forward to the results of the next healing session rather than dreading the session and now she could distract her thoughts with the visits whenever they tried to turn toward what happened to get her here. "The best of luck with the babies."

Finally she had worked out a way to make her fingers move and curl around Duci's. She hoped that Duci would ascribe it to her earlier words rather than the good luck wish for Icer.

She shrugged lightly, grinning still. "You sound better than death, at any rate." Humor was good for the soul, wasn't it' "I should not make you laugh, though...I can see it hurts." A frowned tugged at the corners of her mouth as Mira's giggles ended abruptly with a grimace.

"Only the best doctor's in Rhy'din, Mira." She nodded resolutely. "There was a bit of a shindig in the inn earlier, raspberry champagne was shared. I did not think to bring any to you, but I am also not sure if that would be against tegulation or not." A guilty giggle followed.

"I am glad I can help ease your pain. I will have you know, though....We will throw an even bigger party for you when you get out of here, love," she squeezed her hand softly in turn, appreciating the gesture. "Sivanna and Alec moved in together, and this is a secret, but..." she leaned in to whisper loudly through the mask, "Alper intends on proposing to Anya tomorrow. His father is due to leave Friday, so he is inviting Anya over for dinner and popping the question during dessert." She giggled girlishly as she divulged her secret with Mira.

"You do, both of you do," meaning Icer as well with her statement. Mira made do with a grin at Duci's comment and hoped that Death and his Nephew continued to both be way too busy to 'remember" her.

"My mind's foggy enough without adding bubbly." Mira grinned again. She couldn't imagine that alcohol other than rubbing alcohol would be allowed in the hospital.

"I could imagine it's from the partying." That was a thought ever so much more pleasant than the closer to reality alternatives. Mira nearly giggled again and then flushed with warmth when Duci mentioned a party for her getting out of the hospital. She resolved right then to turn every bit of embarrassment she would feel at being fussed over into joy.

Hearing that Sivanna and Alec moved in together deepened Mira's smile. To her mind they were as ideal together as Taneth and Tormay. She barely had time to let the very good news sink in before there was more.

"They will all three be ever so very happy." Her eyes shone as she amended, "all five, and all their friends for them." Indeed, Mira had for the moment completely forgotten any and all of her discomforts. Her body's need for rest and the medications" effects she was slowly but surely loosing to. Despite the giddy feeling that came with all the wonderful news it became more of an effort to keep her eyes open.

"Anya likes emeralds." Mira grinned.

She nodded exuberantly. "Things seem to be looking up, for all of us, especially with you on the mend," Duci offered with a grin. "Everyone misses you, and your chocolates," she teased.

Another squeeze to her hand. "Are you tired" Should I let you rest?" she asked, concerned.

"I miss everyone, too," the soft smile on Mira's lips turned into a grin again at Duci's teasing, "and chocolate."

"A little." Mira admitted, though tired was likely too mild a word for it. She was also elated with all the wonderful news Duci had brought with her. Having them to while on instead of trying hard not to think of what happened to get her here would help her get that real sleep her body needed to heal as much as the healers? efforts.

"Oh, chocolate? I must remember that," she teased, winking. Another soft squeeze to the girl's hand before she rose. "I will let you rest, then, dearest. I will see you tomorrow, I am sure of it. Feel better, alright hon' In the morning you will be as right as rain," Duci promised, really believing that herself.
