"Mom?" Quinvalis winced at how hoarse he sounded due to how dry his mouth was but he wasn't sure if he was hallucinating or not as his eyes fluttered open. He felt what he assumed was her hand squeeze his fingers and he gave a weak smile before letting his eyelids that felt so heavy close again.
When next he woke, he wasn't aware of how much time had passed but he did see F'drel this time and he frowned in confusion. He was happy to see his friend but hadn't he just seen his mom? He glanced around the room and saw his mom sitting on the other side of the bed and that only confused him further. His mind was so foggy and he struggled to come up with why they would both be waiting for him to wake up.
"Are you sleeping together?" Quinvalis gasped in pain as he tried to sit up before sinking back down into the bed. He tried clearing his throat and swallowed a couple of times, finding his mouth still too dry. "Or I'm not actually dead and you've been waiting for me." The pain jarred some sense back into him and he recalled the Hatching and the frightened blue tangling with him and how he was convinced he wasn't going to survive. Apparently he had, at least for now, who knew how bad his injuries were?
"Did the blue hatchling survive?" He didn't blame the boy for what had happened and hoped he had found his mate. Quinvalis didn't want to think about the blue going between afraid and alone.
