Snip

The sleep took him for hours, deep and undreaming as his body recovered and his mind reset to where it needed to be. Sometime the next morning, light again split the darkness as he awoke, in the same bed but no longer with the fog of injury, medication or stress to cover him and lead him back to sleep again. He awakened knowing he was in hospital this time remembering the woman, or thinking he did, not sure if he had been dreaming or not. His first urge, reaction really, was to sit up, but in his mind he knew what his injuries had been and he did not know how well they had been healed, or if they had at all.

He lay in bed for a few moments, mentally checking himself until he was satisfied he had everything he was supposed to, and then pushed himself up on his elbows slightly, testing his body and looking to see where exactly he was, his eyes searching the room, but his body revealing fatigue and stiffness he expected was due to his healed inuries, after all it was now obvious his bones were no longer broken, but the muscles around them were still weak without use and would take time to heal themselves from the damage, even with modern medicine. Quietly, he was pleased he was in such good shape, it would give his body the best chance of a fast recovery and was probably what had kept him alive in the wastes in the first place.

The night had passed quickly for Linarra after that. The fact Mr. Wolf had regained consciousness for even a little while made his odds of making it significantly higher. She had fallen asleep writing up her report about the surgery and a kind but stern nurse had woken her and guided her to the barracks created for tired nurses and doctors who needed to crash after a long shift. She laid down on one of the beds and went back to sleep in seconds.
It wasn’t her nature to sleep past six in the morning so she woke up and showered, put on fresh clothes and brushed her hair and pulled it back in a braid. In her mind she kept hearing the Wolf’s thoughts about her eyes. Linarra know it was stupid but she had never really thought of her eyes as attractive. She took a deep breath and shook her head trying to center herself before she started the day. When she exited the barracks she went to check on their ship crash patient. Linarra walked to his room as she looked at the padd with his chart before looking at him.
“Good Morning Mr. Wolf. I’m doctor Riccio. I’m glad to see you’ve been recovering rather well,” she said professionally.

As the door opened Atticus shifted his gaze to the person entering, recognizing the woman he had seen the night before, the one with the deep eyes with flecks of gold like so many stars in the expanse.

This time it was automatic, the knowledge she was a telepath set his mind into work automatically, long practiced years of guarding his thoughts and feelings now second nature, and Atticus knew that the night before he had weak, vulnerable, but too confused and delirious to have a coherent thought. The walls around his mind came up, like a Citadel who’s defenses had never been breached. Of course a powerful telepath, or even a determined one, would have no trouble beating down his walls, but to do that it would have to be deliberate and Atticus knew most telepaths respected the mind of others. Most.

That she knew his name came as no surprise, he had never hidden himself and his medical files, what he allowed to be seen by the Federation anyhow, were available. “Believe me nobody is happier at the recovery than myself” he replied, easily and calmly. He looked around again for a moment before his eyes settled on her. “I am in hospital on OED correct? Sacred Heart? Your search and rescue teams must have been at the crash site fast” he smiled slightly, the expression only barely reaching his eyes, “I didn’t have long by the time I lost consciousness.”
