Rand seemed either anxious or upset, and Roman wasn’t sure why. So he did the one thing that usually helped: he pulled her into a hug, wrapping his arms around her. He ended up using her as a bit of a support when he lifted his hand from her desk. “Don’t be sorry. I prefer talking face to face anyway.” Partially because that way he knew who was around to hear what he might say. Then he nodded to her question. He wanted to sit. The appointment made him nervous and he did need to rest his leg a little. But he hoped she had the time to stay with him, he wouldn’t do much resting if she didn’t.

Rand relaxed when Roman hugged her. She didn’t mind him using her for support, but it made her worry that he needed to. “Let’s go sit. I don’t have anything until after dinner.” She was in no hurry to stop hugging him, but he didn’t need to show up for the appt with his leg already hurting.
They made their way back to his quarters and once there Rand gave him an ice pack and checked the time for the meds. Then she sat down next to him. “In the gym right?”

Roman was in no hurry to let her go either, but his leg hurt enough he was a little relieved when she started moving towards his quarters. They made their way back to his quarters and Roman sat on his bunk, leaving space for Rand. He set the ice pack against his leg when she gave it to him. Then he nodded to answer her question. “In the gym, 1400. It should be somewhere between a half hour and an hour long.”

Rand nodded thoughtfully, “Randy all ready did some of it, right? That was the point of all that earlier when Elbbirt was here?” Rand was sitting on his good side. She was going to ask him if Mushu was happy to see him and stopped herself. Even though Roman was more fond of Mushu than any of the other animals, Roman tried to be very factual about them and not allowing them or himself to become of fond of each other. It secretly made Rand laugh because she was pretty sure Roman was attached to the little lizard, whether he realized it or not.
She sat with him for 30-40 minutes while they talked. She didn’t think it would take him half an hour to get to the gym but she didn’t want him to rush and twist his leg either. “How long do you think you’ll need to get to the gym?” she picked up the single hypo that was left in his room and handed it to him. 2 more days of them and he’d be done with that part. She had no idea how long the PT would take.
When he was ready she walked with him to the gym and his appt.
