[Jinx is awake. She has been for the past few days. It's still difficult for her to move much, so she's propped up on her hospital bed. Her hair is stringy and greasy, falling around her shoulders. Her face is pale, lacking any trace of makeup. For a moment, it looks like she's about to say something, but her shoulders drop, her lips purse, she ( Read more... )

[Mercy had thought this a bad idea, but... too many hospitals. Too many times watching people fall. Too many deaths.

It was getting to be that time of year again: the last full moon of October, and those that chose to would be ravaged by their loved ones in the hopes that the werewolf magic would overtake their immune systems, and they'd wake up whole and Changed. but most of them didn't... the first week of November was often a long string of funerals.

So, standing awkwardly in the doorway, a case of puzzle books, coloring books, fiction, even some knitting supplies (did Jinx knit? Mercy had no clue, but nothing like lying in bed to pick up a new skill) and a small kitten counted cross stitch (neutral, because anything else seemed... suggestive) on her shoulder, she clears her throat.]

Jinx? Can I come in for just a moment?

[She hadn't brought anything for Gabriel this time around. But there were pumpkin pies cooling on her counter, and an apple pie on the stove if he needed something sweet.]

[Mercy is the only person that gets Jinx to look at her when she first enters the room. It's mostly out of surprise. Though her eyes are dull, especially compared to their usual state, she still manages to give the other woman a confused look. Very confused.]

Last time I checked, we hate each other. Why are you....? [Here? Holding a basket that looks like it was meant for someone's grandma?]

I don't hate you, Jinx.

[She's still cautious as she steps into the room. She settles the bag - it's purple, with some sort of cartoon cat on it. It was a theme, but it had been what she could find that hadn't looked old womanish, or utterly ridiculous in her estimation.]

I thought you'd hate being bored, so brought a few things.

[The only response she can manage is:]

Knitting needles?

I didn't know if you knit. And learning how to would at least pass the time? I didn't think everything would be to your taste, hence the variety.

What do people actually knit anymore? The most I know about wool is that farm animals go into a factory and come out as cashmere sweaters.

[At least she's talking like herself. This is the most normal conversation she's had all day.]

[Mercy gives a small snort of laughter.]

Well, now's your time to figure it out? [A shrug.] I figured time consuming, pretty mindless activities. Anything you don't like, donate it to the hospital for someone else.
