Rune very quickly regretted it when she plopped too hard into a seat. She thought she was being careful but it seemed any movement more rigorous than breathing was too much for the wound.
She held her forehead in her hands. Her head was full of bricks that her neck couldn't support. Maybe it was a bad idea to get up anyway. But the prospect of breakfast kept her there. She did note the horrid lack of real food in White's cabinets though. With the blender going he couldn't have heard her grumble about it though.
She eyed the chalky glop when he handed it to her. The tiniest wrinkle to her nose was apprehensive, and she took only an exploratory sip at first. "I think you forgot the bacon,"
she said and took a bigger swallow. She hadn't realized how thirsty she was until the ice cold smoothie hit the back of her throat.
She was quiet while he tidied. Mostly because she was busying herself with the baconless smoothie. It seemed like they were alone and she wondered where the team went. Were they still out looking for Jaxen? Had Regus summoned them back? Ugh, her head hurt.
White's question made her look up and then promptly back down again. She felt ridiculous in these clothes. But asking to borrow something of White's made her cringe just to think about it. What was she gonna do? Walk around in one if his tshirts like a lover in a Soap the morning-after?
She snorted the first semblance of a laugh. It immediately made her grimace. "You callin' me pretty?"
She didn't buy it.
"I did have him in the bag."
She started, but there was hesitation in her voice just as much as when she hesitated pulling the trigger. "But, I, uh.."
She didn't finish. Instead she toyed with the cup.
