[ WAITING ] (From Knives, because that's a comforting sight, right?)
Back to the Land of the Living
[ WAITING ]for sender to be waiting at receiver’s hospital bedside when receiver finally comes out of a coma, or wakes from surgery.
Surgery on members of the Eye of Michael was always... an adventure, to say the least. Between their accelerated healing, regeneration, and metabolisms, they often recovered quickly, but needed enough anesthesia to knock out a sand worm (if it was used at all). It kept Wolfwood out cold long enough for the surgeons to finish, and left him confused and disoriented when he awoke...
Only to feel his heart stop when he saw who was sitting at his bedside.
The priest let out a yelp of surprise, and instinctively tried to scramble back, but was held in place by the restraints on the hospital “bed” (installed for this reason, as it kept him from reopening the freshly closed surgical sites). After a few moments of futile, frantic tugging, Wolfwood lay still, looking around in alarmed confusion before returning his gaze to his boss.
“Wh-... What happened?!” He groaned out. Fuck, his head was killing him, but he was struggling to remember. Thanks to the anesthesia required to keep him under, his memory was still foggy, and Knives being present was NOT helping matters! As far as he was aware, the bastard didn’t make bedside calls! Had the Eye decided to “upgrade” his enhancements? Had Knives ordered some surgical procedure? Was it something else entirely? What was going on?!
“Where...? Why’re you here?!”
