Being startled out of his reverie Achilleas shook his head and gave a strained smile. “No, not really wrong. I’m just realizing that so much has happened in my absence and getting caught up fully on what is going on with your health is a bit of a shock like this.” His words weren’t an outright lie but definitely omitted the full extent of how he was feeling. His last year had been more or less him thinking solely of himself and his problems, at least in his mind, and that mindset led him to endangering his friend. This had to change. He had to be better for Solal’s sake and help him get better too. He made a resolution that may be a bit extreme and misguided but for once something other than his anxiety was foremost in his thoughts.

Solal shrugged. “It was a recent and unexpected turn of events. Don’t worry about it.” He was feeling better in terms of his breathing, but the whole episode had exhausted him of energy he simply didn’t have. He let out a long, deep breath and looked up at Achilleas, “I hope I have not disturbed your plans for the day.” Any normal time, Solal might have caught that Achilleas was hiding something. Today though, with his head feeling foggy and scrambled, he missed it entirely.

Bonner checked the canister and set the mask for oxygen support. “I will leave this here incase you need the extra oxygen. Rest and if you need help getting up call me.” She packed up her kit and stood. “I will let you know if the lab tests show anything new.” Then she left.

Achilleas was a little surprised but grateful at Alexis’ departure. Not that he didn’t like her or the help she gave Solal, but because it was an indicator that he wasn’t in danger any longer. The crisis had passed and now it was time for recovery. With that thought in mind he turned back to Solal after the doors slid shut. “You look much better. How are you feeling?”

Solal seemed unsurprised by the departure. “Just tired,” he responded, his words still muffled by the mask. Now that it was just there for O2 support, he could remove it any time. But as a doctor, given the minimal risk of O2 administration, he’d rather give it a little extra time. “Thank you. For helping.” Solal glanced up at Achilleas without moving. “I would guess that isn’t how you thought you’d be spending your time.”
