Forget About It
Sighing to herself, Imogen mentally scolded herself repeatedly as she waited for the water to boil, deciding a nice cup of tea would be a good way to ease into the conversation of what happened. But maybe she would be lucky and the girl wouldn’t remember anything? She hoped for the latter, but she sat there thinking up excuses anyways as she watched the kettle. It was only a moment later the water boiled, as she placed the tea bag into the Hermes cup. Grabbing some pain killers, she placed them on the saucer as she started heading back to the bedroom. She always kept her house dimly lit, she wasn’t one for too many lights, so she squinted a little to see if the girl was up or not. Of course, it was in vain as she couldn’t see, she pushed the door open gently with her foot as she placed the tea on the end table beside her. Noting that she still seemed to be out, she headed to the master bathroom beside her bedroom, sighing to herself as she wrung out a warm cloth to place on the girl’s head.
Heading back to the bed, she decided to flicker the lamp on, placing the warm cloth against the side of the girl’s head. It was a terrible bruise, and it hurt her that she did that to her. Leaning in, she was about to give the girl’s head a delicate kiss as she noticed that the girl was indeed awake. “Bambi?” She questioned, sitting straight in the seat now, waiting for the girl to bring up any mention of what happened. “Are.. Are you okay?”
a foot on the ground, she’s about to slip out of bed when she hears footsteps shuffling, seemingly heading up the stairs and towards this room. her fingers instinctively tightened around the make-shift weapon that she has just found before deciding that this isn’t the time to strike. what if the kidnapper -- or whoever this is -- is much larger in size and is capable of knocking her out with one punch?
with that thought in mind, she quickly slips back into bed, pretending that she’s still passed out when she hears the opening of the door. shit. she ponders briefly as to when the golden moment to strike is, especially when she’s unable to see anything. this isn’t well-thought out, and her heart’s practically pounding against her chest when she feels a figure approaching. but nothing happens, until a couple of moments later the light’s turned on, and she flinches slightly at the sudden brightness against her closed lids. a warm towel’s placed on her forehead and she finally opens her eyes, a look of disbelief and bewilderment donning her features when her gaze lands on the familiar face in front of her.
“...imogen???”
it’s all a little too much to process for her and she scrambles to sit up, brows furrowed at the revelation because what are the odds that you would run into your boss in the middle of the night and gets knocked straight out by her, and then waking up to find yourself on her bed. the warm towel falls from her forehead when she shifts abruptly, glancing at the other with a blank expression now, still quite unable to process and figure out what has just happened.
“i’m...okay” the moment these words leave her lips she tastes the regret of it -- a headache pounding its way through her head and she feels the soreness of her jaw as she speaks. she has half the mind to ask if anything happened, because maybe someone’s giving imogen trouble and that’s why she punched arya in the face -- out of self-defense. but she decides to take a sip out of the warm tea placed on the bedside table ( which she has assumed is for her ) before asking. “did something happen?”
