Sanderon had been out for the rest of the morning, and on into the afternoon. Jada had cleaned his mess up herself, shooing away the Healers once they had brought her the supplies. They had been bemused, but not argued with her. If she wanted to clean up the mess, more the power to her. They all certainly had better things to do than tend the mess of a little boy who had indulged in a tantrum, terrified other patients, acted in a threatening manner to a dragonrider, and ripped their own healing wounds right back open in a fit of pique. If the goldrider had time to waste on him, then she obviously had nothing better to do, and they did.
She had left briefly when the room was clean, fetching a few more treats from the kitchens before going and eating on the Sands with Krypth. The eggs were hardening well, and the Gold just knew that each and every one of them was going to turn out fabulous. They had enjoyed Jada's brief repast, and then the Harper had pushed back to her feet and made the trek back to the Healer Hall, poking her head back into Sanderon's room. He was still asleep, but she slipped in anyway since the dosage was sure to wear off soon. Climbing into the chair, she settled herself comfortably, the freshly-made meat rolls and fruit on the back-in-place table, rested her cheek on her knee, and waited.
The sound of her name being called was what summoned the girl from her trance. She refused to call it sleep, just as she did not deign to acknowledge the fact she may or may not have been drooling onto her leg. She jerked, blinking fuzzily and staring at the boy in the bed in front of her. "Sanderon?" It came out a question, not at all the firm, gentle tone she had imagined it would be. It was instead quizzical and uncertain, and she covered her mouth just in time to stifle a yawn. "Hi. Welcome back." The Healers had told her he might be thirsty when he first woke up, so she pulled out another cup, giving him a finger's height of juice.
"Do you need any help sitting up? They said you may still feel a little numb, maybe some dry mouth."
