Visitting?

[Dónall Kennedy]

Donall made his way silently to the Hospital Wing, mentally arguing with himself over why he was going there and what in the world he thought he was doing.

The attack a few days ago had been a real eye opener, especially the verbal one that the knight had given him moments later. Mulling over those words for the past few days had kept him quiet and aloof, even more so than his usual self.

Now, opening the door to the Hospital Wing, he saw Nicholas sitting by his wife's hospital bed, and he knew there was no turning back.

He walked in a bit, and stopped a good istance from the professor's chair. "Erm... Professor?" he said, clearing his throat. "Do you have a few minutes?"

Don shuffled his feet and stared down at the floor as hewaited for a reply from the man.

[Nicholas Gawain Lannsman]

Nicholas' smile faltered a bit from his conversation with Althea when Donall cleared his throat. He looked to the young man, then to Althea.

"That depends. Would you mind if I left to chat with Donall for a few moments dear?" he asked warily, squeezing her hand.

[Dr. Althea Lannsman]

"No, not at all, dear... Besides, it's not like I can stop you." She smiled a little and then closed her eyes, trying to rest as much as possible.

[Nicholas Gawain Lannsman]

Nicholas nodded, still smiling and kissed her on the forehead as he leaned forward. Gently, he pulled some of the blanket onto her some more, tucking her in gently.

"I'll be back later, sweetheart. Rest up." he said. It was quite ironic seeing such a dark, weapon bristling wizard seem so loving and tender. His equipment clinked and jangled as he moved. Nicholas hands rested automatically on both wand and sword at his side.

"I assume you'd like to speak elsewhere, Master Kennedy?" he asked, sounding much more...Professory...than he ever had.

With anyone, really.

[Dónall Kennedy]

Don was nervous, and trying not to shake or look like this was getting to him. When he spoke, however, it was very obvious how he felt. "Yes, professor, sir. A walk, maybe?"

For the first time in a month or so, he had said the word "sir" with the utmost respect.

[Nicholas Gawain Lannsman]

Nicholas nodded and motioned with his hand towards the doors.

"After you, Master Kennedy." Nicholas said, sounding a tad more gentle than before as though coming to a conclusion already. "I hope you have your wand with you. Who knows what's out there. But I've got you covered."

Nicholas walked in step with him, taking one last look to Althea before exiting.

[Dr. Althea Lannsman]

Althea fell asleep awaiting Nicholas' return.
