Standing again and than flopping down in the chair so she could still face both guys Ryan gasps from air herself. From laughing and trying to hold her own she was out of breath. Panting and just trying to get it together the smile on Ryan's face did not remove itself and the glitter in her eye remained as well. She felt....good.
Hearing Tal talk about leaving Ryan sits up straight on the couch. He wanted to leave already? Thinking fast Ryan new Eli was going out with Scarlet and there was no race tonight. So that meant she would be alone. That was not something she really wanted to look forward to. Time alone, allowed time to think and she didn't want to think. She had felt good today and she wanted it to continue. Maybe...he'd like to stay.
"I've got nothing going on tonight and Eli is going out on a date. If you want to stay Tal I'll cook dinner and maybe we can watch a movie or Eli will let us play his play station."
Ryan gives a smile to Tal she did want him to stay. His presence was welcomed and the comfort that seemed to come along with it. Not to mention he was really cute and he was nice.
Lost deep in sleep Katie feels the shake to her shoulder, Ricks voice softly following. Moving a little and squinting to open her eyes a little Katie just looks at the ceiling for a long moment letting her eyes adjust to the light.
She still felt tired, but better than a few hours before..doing what she could to tilt her head and makes sure Jason was still there Katie trys to sit up a little bit and look at Rick. She new she had to eat something now to keep her own strength up.
"Yeah...I...I think I can."
Taking the crackers and the oj Katie takes a few bits and a few sips before letting them settle a little in her stomach before trying to eat a little more. Looking back over at Jason worry ran though Katie's eyes. She couldn't feel him again...so was he ok?
"Is...is J ok I can't feel him?"
Pulling out the chair at the table Ashlee sits down and holds her hands on the table before leaning into them a little bit. Looking over at Dylan as he leans back in his chair Ashlee can't help but let her mouth hang open a little bit. He really did look good, and he was older too.
"I know you've been in a little trouble and people are after you. So they called in my mom to keep a look after things around here and keep everyone safe. It was the Agency you had a run in with...wasn't it?"
3/4/11
No idea
Seeing Ryan coming, Tal braces himself, while Eli, unprepared, gets the wind knocked right out of him. Something between a grunt and an "Oomf!" is heard and Eli lets go of Tal, though is still piled on top of him. "Ryan!" Eli squirms around to tickle her by means of getting her off.
As the two wriggle around though, Tal starts to run out of breath, especially when someone's elbow winds up in his gut. Laughing though, it's hard to regain any control at all. "Would you two carry on your tickle match somewhere else?" he hollers teasingly. Mustering up his strength, he gives a mighty heave and hefts both Eli and Ryan off of him so he can roll away and into the clear. His face was beet red by now, but it was still nearly impossible to catch his breath in between his laughing.
Eli winds up sprawled out on the floor too, giving up on wrestling anymore with anyone, totally worn out and trying to catch his breath too. "So what were we talking about?"
Tal grins as he lies on his back and stares up at the ceiling. "You were trying to get me to leave."
"Oh yeah." Eli looks around for his bandanna and finds it, but remains lying on the floor. "So what are you still doing here?"
"I have no idea. But now that we figured out no one wins, I probably should go."
Jason's eyes fall shut again - it took too much energy to keep them open. But his fingers curl a little around Katie's. He felt her touch. He heard her voice. He knew she was okay. Not well at the moment, but okay nonetheless. "I love you too," he whispers.
It would only be a short while later that Jason would feel another prick of a needle in his arm and he knew that it was the full dose of the antidote. And even though he wanted to fight it, he knew that this time, he wouldn't be able to go off of it.
At least an hour and a half later, Rick leans back against the infirmary counter and watches Jason and Katie sleeping. By this evening, Katie would probably be up and functioning again and then by tomorrow, Jason would be well enough to complain about the whole thing and want to get out of here even though he'd be too weak. Rick could see the whole thing already and knew these two well enough that it took most of the guesswork out of it. But that only served to make him think about what his response would be to all of this. And he knew that Jason would be upset with him.
Returning to the blood analysis that Misty had helped him with, he compares samples from last week and now, and finds only more deterioration. This thing, whatever it was, was not slowing down. A visit to Reese's office, a phone call to Cindy, and he was back again, growing more weary as the day dragged on.
Going to Katie's bed, he sits down beside her to rouse her gently while he let Jason continue to sleep. "Hey, Katie." His hand rests softly on her shoulder. It was evening and he wanted to make sure she was doing alright, then talk to her about a few things. "Got some orange juice and crackers here... think you can handle a little bit of it?"
Dylan's eyes don't leave Ashlee's face as she talks. Was it disinterest on his face, or was he just studying her? It was hard to tell.
Her request to sit makes his eyebrow quirk again. "I don't care. You can sit wherever you want."
He pushes on the floor with his feet, making his chair rock on its back legs while he kept his hands behind his head. "Me an' school never did get along. I dare say the teachers back home are glad to be rid of me. Now it's Rosetta that has to put up with my D minuses since she's too nice to give me Fs." And all that did was put him under supervision, which made him cringe just thinking about it. At the moment, he was struggling to do well enough on his next set of tests to avoid having to do all his work in the office with Rosetta's help.
Letting his chair flop back down again, he leans forward, putting his elbows on the table and continuing his stare at Ashlee. "So how much did they tell you about me?"
