An Eternity In Nowhere

[jenee]

The doctor nodded. "Just take it easy, alright?"

He moved over to talk to Jamison after checking to see if Jyrra was awake, and spoke to him in a low tone. "Your sisters will be fine, of that I am sure of now. They're both just tired and sore. They can leave when it gets lighter out, but I'm asking that you see to it that they rest for at least a couple days."

[m!chelle--✗]

Jamison nodded solemnly, and promised, "I'll see to it that they are fully healed before beginning any work again." For the first time that day a slight smile lit his face, and he added, "Though I know they'll hate me for it."

[jenee]

The medic nodded, amused. "I'm sure they'll thank you for it later, however."
With a nod to all four-Jamison, Jacyln, the nurse, and Jyrra (even though she couldn't see nor was she even paying attention), he exited the room, closing the door quietly behind him.

[m!chelle--✗]

Jamison sighed and returned to his own chair, leaning forward with his elbows on his knees and clasping his hands together. He stared at the floor, casting only a swift glance up at the other medic as she left the room as well, promising to check on them in a little while.
Jamison stayed this way for several hours as the night stretched on, his mind whirling, but not producing any real thoughts. Jaclyn had dozed off once more, but began to stir as faint sunlight filtered through the small window.
Jamison glanced up at his sister. "Ready to go home?" he asked softly, and she nodded groggily. "I think so." Her voice came out as a hoarse, croaky rasp, but she smiled weakly, and glanced at Jyrra. "What about her...?"

[jenee]

Jyrra was awake, though laying in a position so that her back was toward Jamison and Jacyln. When their voices began to sound, she slowly pushed herself up into a sitting position, holding back a grimace as her stiff back protested.
"I'm fine," she murmured quietly, and after readying herself, she slowly slid off the bed to her feet. She staggered, and had to hold on to the table to regain her balance. Each step brought some form of pain, but she knew that their shop wasn't too far away. She would make it...she wasn't about to be left behind.

[m!chelle--✗]

Jamison leapt to his feet and rushed to her side, slipping under Jyrra's arm to support her. "Careful, now. Falling now will just set you back further," he warned, a gentle smile on his face. He glanced at Jaclyn, who had also stood, swaying slightly as the world spun. She closed her eyes for a moment, and then let out a soft breath and took a few steps forward, her face stoney with grim determination.
"Alright, we can go," she muttered hoarsely, gritting her teeth at the effort of not collapsing, or showing her pain. Jamison eyed her skeptically, concern clear in his eyes, but he nodded and concentrated on getting Jyrra to the door. There a medic rushed to help them, taking Jaclyn's hand to help steady her. It was obvious Jaclyn hated the fact she needed help, but she accepted it grudgingly, shifted forward slowly but surely.

[jenee]

Normally, Jyrra would refuse the help as well. She absolutely hated having to be assisted, and often took it in the wrong way. However, in the past few days, she hardly turned down all the help. Whether it was from shock or just the realization that she needed it, she wasn't entirely sure.
She remained quiet as Jamison helped her towards the door, her teeth clamped together and her unseeing eyes gazing off distantly ahead.

[m!chelle--✗]

The medic quickly told her colleagues that she would be back in a moment, and lead Jaclyn out the door, Jamison close behind with Jyrra. They worked their way down the road, finally arriving in front of the triplets' shop and home. "We'll make it from here. Thank you for the help," Jamsion murmured, smiling gratefully at the medic. She nodded, also smiling, and letting Jaclyn shift away from her before heading off down the road to the clinic.
Jaclyn muttered the Charter mark for unlocking, and the door swung open. She lead the way inside and up the stairs, going straight to her room and flopping down on her bed, immediately falling into a deep, restful sleep. Jamison was right behind her, helping Jyrra into her own room and onto the bed. "Do you need anything?" he asked quietly.

[jenee]

Jyrra inhaled as they entered into her room, the familiar scents of herbs entering her senses from the jars she had stashed around the room. It helped to calm her mind slightly, though she still couldn't avoid the throbbing of her head and the emotion that still hazed her thoughts.
She leaned against the pillow in a slouched, half-sitting position, and she was quiet for a few moments before answering Jamison. "I'm fine," she murmured, her voice still edged and at the tone of a whisper.

[m!chelle--✗]

Jamison shifted uncertainly, and murmured, "You're sure?" He glanced toward the door longingly, wishing to return to his own bed and rest, having stayed up most of the night.

[jenee]

Jyrra's blank gaze wandered far from Jamison as she soon started to become lost in her own thoughts. "Yes," she said with a barely noticeable nod.

[m!chelle--✗]

"Alright." Jamison nodded, and turned toward the door, but hesitated, looking back. "Just call if you need anything," he added, and then disappeared down the hall.

[jenee]

Jyrra sighed and leaned back further into her pillow, finding herself exhausted from the day. She'd barely slept at the clinic, and now the familiar smell of herbs was slowly tempting her to just close her eyes...
She eventually gave in, rolling over on her side and drifting off to sleep.

[m!chelle--✗]

Jamison collapsed into his own bed, only then realizing how exhausted he was. Within seconds he had dropped off into a deep, dreamless sleep.

[jenee]

It was late in the afternoon when Jyrra was finally jerked back from the peaceful realms of sleep. With a small groan, she eased herself up in a sitting position, trying to ignore the pain that still surged through her body. She gritted her teeth, her eyes narrowing as a scowl on her face deepened-mostly out of frusteration.
She then remembered something, and slowly reached out with her mind to the one thing that had tried to offer her advice before. |Egg...?| she ventured hesitantly, her expression softening slightly.
