Don't You Fret My Dear, It'll All Be Over Soon; I'll Be Waiting Here For You

WHO: Jax Teller, Neil Mackay, Peeta Mellark, and anyone who wants to visit them, doctor them, or look after them
WHERE: The hospital
WHEN: The days after the Obscurus rampage
OPEN TO: Anyone who wants to visit the patients, anyone who's hurt, or anyone who's got any reason to be in the hospital at all. Tag each other! Mingle! Commiserate!
WARNINGS: People got hurt, so injuries and wounds, presumably blood, at least one head injury, probably nightmares, and various medical things could all crop up here
STATUS: Open (please state who the tag is for and a general idea of a timeframe in the subject line of your comment!)




The doctors in this place were as quick as they could be with limited supplies or trained personnel. Within a very short time of the smoke monster smashing through one man and slamming a few others aside, they had the injured moved into the hospital, cleaned up, and attended to as best they could. The lack of supplies and technology across the entire village was felt more in the medical field than any other, but all the members of that little group were resourceful and determined, and at least while some of the injuries had been severe no one had been on the doorstep of death. It was easier to treat a person when you were sure they would keep breathing.

Still, a lot of it had been improvised, and no one could be healed in an instant; they'd all have to do it the old-fashioned way, letting time and rest mend their wounds. Neil, Jax, and Peeta had all been placed in the same room in the hospital just to make it easier to keep tabs on them and for companionship through the night. The beds were spaced far enough apart to give some sort of privacy if the conversations were kept quiet and spare blankets had been tacked up that could be pulled back or dropped like curtains to give at least a visual barrier around the patients, but no one was far away enough from each other to not be able to talk (or listen) if they wanted to. A few chairs were available for visitors' use, though slightly rickety and not up to much punishment. All three of them would be there for a good bit, so the goal was to make their stay as comfortable as was possible.

Her health isn't the priority here. It's Peeta's. He's the one who had been brutally injured by the mutt. He's the one still stuck in a hospital bed. The chair is uncomfortable, yes. Sleeping in it for the past week has given her an ache in her neck and shoulder. Whenever she thinks Peeta isn't looking, she'll roll her right shoulder in order to try and alleviate it. Sharing a bed isn't an option. Aside from anything Beverly has implied, there are too many people watching them. But going home?

No. As irrational as the thought is, she's terrified that if she goes home, she'll lose him for good. It had been so close to happening in the Quarter Quell arena. Why chance it again?

Apparently, her actions haven't gone as unnoticed as she thought. She blinks sleepily, shifting in the chair to better look at him. Katniss doesn't bother to hide her frown or scowl of disagreement. This isn't about her. She'll survive sleeping in a chair. "I don't think there's any room for another bed," she answers quietly, and somewhat dismissively. "I'm fine."
