Who| Robbie and any injured Legionnaires.
What| Visiting hours.
Where| Medbay
When| After Cancerverse.
Warnings/Notes| None.

Visiting teammates in medbay is far mandatory, but it’s just what you do, even if they’ll probably be out by dinner. Then again, Robbie’s technically been a medbay inmate himself for more than a day.

He’s allowed – encouraged – to move around at this point. He had several dips in the goo tanks and robotic surgery to repair the puncture wounds, but broken ribs are still broken ribs 1000 years later. They can accelerate the bones knitting back together, but it’s just pain management and keeping mobile enough to prevent things healing too tight and help his lungs stay clear.

Despite this, he still had to enlist one of the nurses to get him gag gifts for the other Legionnaires getting treated. Because flowers are great, but laughter is the best medicine.

Robbie approaches the bed quietly with only a wave and waits to see if his teammate even wants company at the moment.

He's doing his best not to put too much weight on Robbie. Just because he has a concussion doesn't mean he doesn't remember the mess at the mining colony, after all. It makes things a little slower, but at least Robbie can keep him steady. Which is the most important thing.

"I think they just wanted to keep me for observation. And painkillers. Both of which you can handle." Especially as the painkillers are oral. Makes it a lot easier.

"They give good painkillers, too," Robbie says conversationally. He'd tried to decline them, actually, but the look he'd gotten in response had him take the pills docilely. He wasn't fond of how well they worked on him - what if he did something stupid and it didn't hurt?

But he can keep Vance from doing something stupid. "And I could use the practice observing you, if we're doing this. I think I'm supposed to stare wistfully when you're not looking."

Robbie marches them up to the first nurse he sees, shifting his hold on Vance so it looks far more intimate, with his hand resting on Vance's hip. He's hoping to use the gossipy nature of the staff against them. "We were told to ask for 24 hours worth of our medications. We're being released on the condition we come back tomorrow for a check-up and take it easy. I promise no gymnastics."

And then he winked at the nurse.
