Waking up (Open)
This takes place sometime after Daniel got rescued from the Green Man.

Daniel stirs then sits up. His head hurts. His body hurts. His magic screams in his ears and mind from being pulled around. The magic that he can sense in the universe feels distant and cold. It does not feel warm and welcoming like it should. He knows why. The Green Man hurt him while he was trapped.

He shivers and climbs off the bed in the medical bay and sighs. They had him hooked up to an IV pole to deal with the fact he hadn't eaten in a long time and he was dehydrated. That was good. He pushes the pole with his arm that isn't attached to the line feeding him and weakly moves to where there is a sink and a mirror. He can see where he has been treated by Akilah's magic. He can see that there is white and green streaks threaded into his hair for now. Eventually his body will fix that.

Oh hell. Akilah is going to be mad. Daniel tries to think of what to say but ends up thinking of nothing that is quite good enough and hobbles back to the bed too tired to think of anything to defend his actions.

	Speaking of... Akilah walked in to check on Daniel, as per her usual routine. "I see that you are awake, Daniel." She smiled, which could possibly have made Daniel nervous. She didn't smile at times like these. (Reply to this)(Thread)

	He wasn't really ready to defend himself if she walked in ready to yell. He watches her silently then relaxes a fraction. Maybe she won't yell. He doesn't have the words yet to explain himself anyways. "Just a few minutes ago. How long was I out? I sort of just remember shouting. Not much else," he admits. Everything is quite fuzzy.

	"A few days." It was a short answer. Her eyes narrowed, as if she was hunting for something on him. She didn't mean it like that, but Akilah wasn't used to how she felt. Akilah moved closer to him- within striking distance. "Explain yourself." (Reply to this)(Parent)(Thread)

A few days? He thinks about it and feels a cold shiver go up his spine. He could have died out there. Too much magic pulled out of him or through him would do that. No wonder it felt cold right now.

"The Green Man took my father. I had to go get him back. There are accords and other things in place keeping him from doing something like that. The Green Man is not supposed to take someone like that. He sent a message demanding I come get my Father from him. I went to get him and-- I missed a binding circle. I couldn't touch my own magic or pull any from the universe. I was helpless."

	"And you neglected to ask for help, because? Was it not important enough to let us- no. Let me rephrase this, Daniel." Remember being within striking distance? Akilah raised her hand and let it swing. "I was worried, Daniel. I have never felt this way for anyone. Why was it not important to let me know what was going on?" (Reply to this)(Parent)(Thread)

"Because according to the accord that my mother had drawn up with him only a person related by blood to the one being held by the Green Man can go. I didn't see a loophole to bring anyone else! Maybe I should have asked for help. No. I should have," he stops and runs a hand over his face.

"No. I could have found a way. There are always loopholes. I'm.... sorry. I didn't think hard or long enough. He had my Father. I was angry and scared. He's the last family member I have left and the idea of him being held captive terrified me. I acted too quickly and without a plan. I should have went to Steve or you."

	"You are right. You should have come to one of us." But she was no without sympathy or understanding. "But," she said as she took a seat next to him, "I do realize that you were not in a position to take your time. Yet, I do not expect this to happen again, Daniel. You are not just another person to me. I care about you." (Reply to this)(Parent)(Thread)

	weavingwizard 2010-04-10 07:50 pm UTC (link)
	He stares at her intently. "I care about you too. I'm sorry if it seemed like I didn't care enough to ask. I was reacting. Not thinking. If I had the time to think? I would have dragged the whole team with me," Daniel confesses. It's the only way he knows how to say he is sorry. (Reply to this)(Parent)(Thread)

	aerosmithette 2010-04-10 08:15 pm UTC (link)
	She put her hand to his face, slowly. "I understand, Daniel." (Reply to this)(Parent)(Thread)

	He lowers his gaze. He is sorry about many things. He also gets the feeling he has been forgiven. "He was alive when you got there, right," Daniel asks. "I can't really touch any magic right now. I'm too tired to even try reaching out." (Reply to this)(Parent)(Thread)

	aerosmithette 2010-04-11 01:19 am UTC (link)
	"He was alive and well. Your father is the reason we were able to find you." (Reply to this)(Parent)(Thread)

	weavingwizard 2010-04-11 02:46 am UTC (link)
	"Thank the Gods," he says with a happy look on his face. "He looked.... The Green Man made me think he had been hurt. He used trickery to get me there. Played upon my fears." (Reply to this)(Parent)(Thread)

	aerosmithette 2010-04-11 04:11 am UTC (link)
	She wasn't used to this sort of thing. She smiled, and leaned in to give him a quick kiss. "You do not need to be afraid anymore. Not if I can help you." (Reply to this)(Parent)(Thread)

	weavingwizard 2010-04-11 04:14 am UTC (link)
	He returns it willingly. It is tinged with the fact he's tired. "I know. Thank you," he murmurs. Then he pauses to tug at the white and green lock of hair that has slipped down in his face. "I can't believe that he got me so weak my hair turned white and green." (Reply to this)(Parent)(Thread)

	aerosmithette 2010-04-11 04:29 am UTC (link)
	She examines his hair and thinks on his comment. The Green Man must have been holding back during the fight. "You will get better, and soon." She wasn't sure if it was possible for her to help the process along. (Reply to this)(Parent)(Thread)

	weavingwizard 2010-04-11 04:38 am UTC (link)
	But what purpose would that have served? "I know. It had to have been the type of binding he used. I couldn't figure out the runes. Of course I did pass out pretty quickly the first time." The rest of his time had been spent doing other things so he had no time to focus on the trap he had been in. (Reply to this)(Parent)(Thread)

	"It sounds like you need to take more time studying magic. I can always help with that, Daniel." (Reply to this)(Parent)(Thread)

	weavingwizard 2010-04-11 07:03 pm UTC (link)
	"Stuff from faeries anyways. They use different base components from what humans use," Daniel says with a light shrug. (Reply to this)(Parent)(Thread)

	aerosmithette 2010-04-16 02:19 pm UTC (link)
	She let there be a little silence. "When do you want to speak with the others?" (Reply to this)(Parent)(Thread)

	weavingwizard 2010-04-17 05:14 pm UTC (link)
	"After I get this IV out," Daniel says with a sigh. "Do I actually need it?" He really doesn't like being hooked up like this. It's just weird. (Reply to this)(Parent)(Thread)

	aerosmithette 2010-04-17 05:24 pm UTC (link)
	"No, not anymore." She knew a good amount in the medical field. He would be fine without the IV now that he was awake. They only used it becauase he couldn't support himself while sleeping. (Reply to this)(Parent)(Thread)

	weavingwizard 2010-04-17 05:28 pm UTC (link)
	"Good." He looks ready to pull the damn thing out himself. But he doesn't. "Some food and a shower would be good at some point too." (Reply to this)(Parent)(Thread)

	aerosmithette 2010-04-17 05:47 pm UTC (link)
	She walks over and stops the IV drip. "Let it drain before you take it out, Daniel. I can take care of starting your shower and getting somebody to make something to eat." ...She couldn't cook. (Reply to this)(Parent)(Thread)

	weavingwizard 2010-04-17 06:15 pm UTC (link)
	He might just look like he is sulking a bit. He lets out a sigh and rubs the tip of a pointed ear. "A sandwich would be great. Or anything. I can talk while eating if they want me to talk." (Reply to this)(Parent)(Thread)

	aerosmithette 2010-04-17 06:35 pm UTC (link)
	"I suppose that is not a problem." She gets somewhat impatient with the IV and runs her hand over it, pulled the liquid back from the part injected into Daniel with magic. And she carefully takes it out. (Reply to this)(Parent)
