Doujo sighs and tosses his magazine aside. He looks around the room carelessly. "I think I’ve seen about as much of sick bay as I care to." He looks over at you. "I wonder when they’ll let us out." You look back and think he does not look like the kind of person who does well cooped up in a sick bed. For you, at this point, this place is the same as any other, but you begin to feel sorry for Doujo. His fingers have started to twitch; soon he’ll be pacing. He saunters to the doorway and something starts beeping in the other room. He turns to you, holds back a smile and says, "Uh, oh, I’ve set off the alarm."
G’noa-Fan appears in the doorway, eyebrow arched. "Well, Doujo?"
"When can we leave?"
"You heard Master Bristel say a day or so for you."
"It’s been half a day. Doesn’t that count as ‘or so’?"
"Technically, a quarter of a day. And no. Nice try."
You can’t help but smile at Doujo’s dejected look. G’noa-Fan watches to be sure he returns to his bed, and as Doujo picks up the thrice-read magazine with a defiant glare, the healer leaves. The stillness lasts about 30 seconds before Doujo is fidgeting and has swung his legs over to face you. He holds up the magazine. "This is Evaporator Maintenance and Repair Weekly. Now, I’m as interested in improving myself as the next guy, but this issue is 3 years old. This ship is 1 year old. That means this periodical was out of date when they built this ship! They brought an obsolete magazine onboard. To torture me!"
Your laugh comes before you know it. "You’re complaining? You’ve been hogging it the whole time!"
He grins and throws the magazine at you. "So that’s what your smile looks like. It’s a good look for you. You should try it more often."
Your smile fades and you reply, "I wish I could."
He moves closer, leans low and takes your hand, his handsome face so close, his beautiful eyes looking deeply into yours. "Tell me."
He’s close. Too close. You haven’t felt attention this wanted since before… No, since ever. Just as you feel yourself melting towards him, his power, realization of his ploy sets in. Your eyes narrow and you move to strike his chest with your broken arm, with an angry "Don’t you dare!"
He catches your cast, lets go of both your arms, and backs away a little. G’noa-Fan appears in the doorway, but Doujo seems to have things under control. "What?" he asks softly.
You shake your head and seethe, "Don’t you dare. After all I’ve been through, don’t you dare try to use my vulnerability to weasel something out of me! Get away!" You turn over to face away from him, bury your head in the pillow.
G’noa-Fan says gently, "Doujo, you’re upsetting my patient. Please get back in bed."
Doujo sits on his bed and G’noa-Fan refills your glass but doesn’t touch you. He leaves and Doujo says softly, "I’m sorry, Lyra. I’m only trying to help. I wish you could trust me, but there’s no shortcut, is there? We’re not trying to use you. And I didn’t take your hand to manipulate you. I did it because I care, and I’m sorry you’re hurting. If you want to tell me, I’ll listen."
After a while, you pull your face from the pillow. Still facing the other way, you say, "I’m sorry I yelled. I’m sorry I accused you. I don’t know what to think. I don’t know who to trust. I don’t know what to do."
Doujo lets that sink in, and replies, "Why don’t we just do nothing for a little while?"
