(snip)

Roman had no problem with doctors and he mostly didn’t like how pain meds made him feel. He just didn’t like the questions they might have to ask and the memories associated with both Sickbay and treatment. And with other meds, well, if he needed them he might need to go to Sickbay, and… It all tied back to not wanting to remember things. He made a mock scared face. “If he’s decided he likes me, I think we can safely assume the apocalypse is nigh,” he said in mock seriousness. He didn’t say it, but he believed what Randy had said earlier - that he simply didn’t want to make Rand angry by leaving him alone. Essentially, he felt like the one being chaperoned, it felt like they were making sure he was never alone. He didn’t really mind, he’d rather Rand be there at least, but Randy sticking around when he didn’t need to was… almost kind of awkward.

She giggled at the face he made. Then going along with his mock fear she gave a little shutter, “If it really is the apocalypse what shall we do on our last day alive?” Rand had no idea why Randy had stayed so long. If she had to guess, she would say it had something to do with Roman’s medical stuff. She was going to say something to Randy about picking on her in front of Roman though…maybe, if she didn’t make herself anxious. “Well he’s gone now and promised not to come back until tomorrow.” The nice thing about not being perched on the chair she was able to be closer and she was able to relax because she wasn’t at risk of falling between the chair and the biobed.

This time his face of… not disgust, but displeasure, was real. Not because of Randy coming back, he preferred Randy over some doctor or nurse he didn’t know as well, but because Randy’s morning visit would be for another dose of medication. Rand looked way more comfortable than in Sickbay, probably because she was actually on the bed instead of wedged between a biobed and a chair. “Good for us, though. It’s been nearly a week since we’ve been here, just the two of us.”

Rand saw the look and she hugged him, tightly. It didn’t take much for her to know why he had that look. Rand wasn’t too worried about when he got back to duty or before the sessions with the regenerator were over. She was worried about in between. If she was lucky Pipkin was going to keep him very busy. “Even if there were no meds, you still have two more days with the regenerator. Then your leg will be like it was never injured in the first place.” Her look turned mischievous, “Then Mr Dummy will really learn his lesson.”

Roman hugged her. He hadn’t tried anything he wasn’t supposed to be so far, but the kind of pain he was in would do that. When the pain became more manageable, he’d probably get less compliant. Rand would be lucky if Pipkin kept him too busy to try anything. Her look turned mischievous and he grinned but shook his head. “If it’s anything like last time, martial arts will be restricted until my PT is nearly done.” That was something to look forward to, though. If it was like it was never injured in the first place, hopefully it would never bother him again.
