I heard the noise long before I saw it. I knew IV was back. I heard his voice. I was more worried when I heard silence.
The next time I heard noise, it was in the infirmary. With a sigh, I made my way there.
The sight I met however, was one I wasnt expecting.
Daxjorn was sitting there, in one of the hospital beds, being treated by V, for a wound over her heart. Off to the side stood Max and Xahssa. I walked over, not wanting to be in the way. I tried to ignore the two of them stiffening as I approached. Of course I had heard the rumors, but I wasnt sure where I stood with them yet.
"What's wrong?" I whispered, not wanting to be a distraction.
"Just a little...accident..." Xahssa whispered back, "Nothing to be too concerned about."
"So Braxyd got her." I watched them both give me a look as if to say, dont speak about it.
I dont know how long we stood there, watching as Xahnan worked to the best of her ability, but she looked exhausted when she was done.
"You did good V..."
"But we still have yet to see if I did good enough." She turned her back to me, clearly upset she couldn't do more.
"VI....." We all were a bit shocked to hear her voice.
I took a step closer. "Yeah Dax..? What is it?"
"Come...closer...." I sighed but did as she asked, leave it up to her to be dramatic.
"Yes?"
"I need...I need some toast...." I pushed down an immediate feeling of laughter as I glanced at Xahssa who rolled her eyes.
"We're out of bread. Besides, the toaster's broken."
"NNOOOOOOO!!!!!"
"God II, How hard did she get hit in the head?"
"She didn't."
"How hard did she fall then?"
"She didn't do that either."
"Then what's wrong with her?"
"How should I know? She seems normal to me...." I laughed, leave it to II.
