Dirk had made him take his medications before he could leave his room, they left him feeling... not himself. He recognized her, but couldn't place her, no doubt she had been one of the attendants to check in on him. His fingers were through the loose, stretched weave at the cuff of his sweater.

"Think they even know what they're watching?" his voice was soft and a bit raspy, he had bruised his larynx pretty bad and it was still healing.
