02 ▒ EVENT: STASIS SICKNESS ▒ MEDBAY

CHARACTERS: Ensemble production!
LOCATION: Medbay.
WARNINGS: Sickness, body horror, etc.
SUMMARY: Sickness central. Treatments, dying slowly, related events.
NOTES: Divided by days a la medbay organisation log in the comments!


You're not feeling too well. The last couple of days have been - rough. The medbay seems to be a bit more full than usual, but you're sure it's nothing to be worried about; whatever the illness is, it'll go away once you've rested and gotten a check-up. Right?

"I don't," she argued, and pushed at his arms, his shoulder. When she realized she was no longer on the ground, adrenaline surged in her, woke her up, at least for the moment. Eyes with too much blue opened wide, and she jerked in his arms as he stumbled and steadied, her arms flailing out to push weakly at his face and chest.

"I don't, they need to be, they," but she trailed off, because his face had finally come into focus. It took longer than it should have to remember his name, but Arya let her arms drop again. He had a sword like Ice, with two true names, and one truer than the other.

"Can you heal them, Strider?"

Aragorn stilled for a moment, his breath tripping in his throat. It was a child's question, for all that this girl seemed little like a child, and he swallowed down the burning sensation in his eyes. Closes them before he opened them again. They, she said, and he continued walking. One step before him, then another.

The true answer was writ in the blue of his eyes, the blood on his lips, and the stumbling steps he took. But that was not Jeyne wished to hear, and so Aragorn said instead:

"Aye." He kept his voice low and his eyes fixed in front of him, away from the girl. It was not simply that he did not wish to lie while looking into her eyes, but that if he did not look, they would fall as surely as the walls would sway in front of his eyes.

"Aye, I can try." A breath out. "For whom do you worry for, Jeyne?"

"Alayne," she whispered. "Bran. Robb. Jon." Her family, though not anymore. Almost truths came to her lips, names spilled out, and at least she did not say Sansa. It was so difficult to keep her eyes open, to focus on his foot steps, and ,more importantly, in the blue mirrored on his face. She lifted on hand, pressed blue fingertips against his blue lips.

"You can't heal yourself." He couldn't help them, no one could, and she wanted to cry, but the night wolf doesn't cry. The night wolf doesn't turn blue, either, and she felt tears burn the corners of her eyes, but did not let them fall.

He knew those names. Alayne, who reminded him in her manners and the steel of her soul of Finduilas, the beautiful swan of Dol Amroth who had faded away in her longing of the sea. Bran Stark, a young lord with too-old eyes and useless legs, but still with a ready smile and frequent hope; Robb Stark, a King crowned too young; Jon Snow, who was a brother across worlds, for they were both Rangers.

"Nay, I cannot," he said, and there was no use trying to muffle the roughness in his voice, the harshness in his throat. But he swallowed back the cough, and steadied his feet. "But I can ease the pain."

It was poor comfort, but it was all he could offer.

Arya's shoulders drooped, and she curled in on herself until her head rested on his shoulder. What did it matter, if they all died now? If she died with them? Only Rickon was left, but he was dead, too, at home, and there would be no more Starks, not in the north or the south or across the Narrow Sea in Braavos, pretending to be no Stark at all.

Maybe the old gods always meant them to die; maybe the Many-Faced God had made his decisions about them long ago, and only now did they see its result. She hated him then, the God of Death who is the only god, whose will she is allowed to act upon, but never her own, and if she had the energy, the strength, she would rail and scream. "Bran first." The day wolf was still pack, and he was the youngest. Then Jon, and Alayne, and Robb, Robb, had he ever even come back? Had Jon? She stared at her blue nails, and coughed until it hurt to breathe.

"Then Bran it is," Aragorn said, and though it was shameful to lie, he knew that these were words he would not keep. He had no idea where Bran Stark was, and Jeyne was there in his arms, needing his care. Perhaps he could put a call out to the network, looking for her family- for those in the world that she cared for. Perhaps he could search for them. The very thought of it made his head spin, but he made sure that he did not stumble with his next step.

"Rest now, Jeyne," he kept his voice low and sweet as he turned the next corner towards the hallway that would lead him to the medbay. His arms were getting tired, and his feet could not go faster- but Aragorn gritted his teeth and endured, for he knew that it was only a little way more.

She makes a sound that may be a 'no,' because she cannot rest, she should not have let herself rest to begin with. She has to see that the day wolf and the Stone girl are looked after because they are Starks, truly, and the Starks must not die again, they cannot, she will not be the last. Let them be the last, this time, let them realize it, only so it isn't her.

Arya mumbles, her eyes closing and then opening wide, in desperate efforts to stay awake, to pay attention, but she can't. Aragorn may have the strength to endure, but Arya's is fading, and she slips in and out of consciousness, sleeping and waking and mumbling that he must tend to Bran first, he must.
