::Sexy in mud, but Julie's clean now, and in a hospital gown in bed. She's been stitched up good, has some nice fresh blood in her, a fat lip, copious scratches and cuts, claw marks, bite marks, bruises, whatever you want... but she's gonna be okay! Just a bit sore and stiff for a while, a bit dopey, but what's new? Wake up whenev, bitchass.::

::Andrea pants a bit as she arrives and turns to see Julie doing the hospital thing. It only makes the sick feeling she has get even worse. This is Julie. She doesn't get injured. Ands makes her way over to the bed, dropping the remainder of her lollipop into the bin. She pulls up a chair beside Julie and reaches out to touch her, stroking her arm softly.::

"Andy..."

::Julie mutters in her sleep. Aww she's dreaming of Andy.::

::Andrea smiles softly and takes Julie's hand into her own, bringing it to her mouth so she can kiss it.::

::Julie smiles. She peeks then shuts her eyes before Andrea can see her awake.::

"Oh yeah, Andy... just like that..."

::She gasps.::

::Andrea looks pretty shocked.::

(...)

::She straightens up, not quite able to believe Julie's having a sex dream after all this... yet... it's flattering... and embarrassing...::

::Julie laughs and turns her head to look at her girlfriend.::

"Hey beautiful."

::Andrea jumps in fright, her grip tightening on Julie's hand, then gets herself together.::

"You're awake."

(She...)

::She narrows her eyes.::

"You were awake."

"As much as I would love to be having a sex dream, I was dreaming about the cave and you getting your head slammed into that wall. Not sexy. How's your head?"

::Julie eyes look at the bump.::

"I'm fine."

::Andrea gives Julie a less-than-enthused look. The last thing she wants Julie thinking about is how Ciarra pwned her and she went down like that. It's not exactly boasting material.::

"You're the one that had to have a bloody blood transfusion."

"Well, these things happen."

::Julie tries to sit up a bit, but gives up quite soon, wincing lots.::

"Did they put stitches on my back?"

::She runs a finger over her cheeks.::

"Oh my God, I must look hideous right now. Grab me a mirror."

"No!"

::Andrea stops short.::

"I mean... no, you look fine."

(...)

"Honest."

"I find that hard to believe."

::-_-. Julie llicks her lips.::

"She really beat me up good, didn't she?"

"Not as good as you beat her up."

::Andrea shuffles her chair closer and wipes a couple of tears from her eyes.::

"You look beautiful."

::She reaches up and cups Julie's cheek gently, gazing into her eyes.::

"Heh... see? Things like that just make me..."

(Don't say love!)

"...love you more."

(Idiot! Not love, like!)

::She covers Andrea's hand with her own.::

::Andrea looks like she's about to cry, she's feeling a lot of different emotions right now. A few more tears slip down her cheeks and she hastily wipes them away.::

"Hunos is in intensive care. The woman said she didn't know if he'd... we... we just have to wait."

::Julie frowns.::

"He'll be okay, Andy..."

"I hope to God he will. I'd try to get in touch with Chloe, but I don't know how to. If he doesn't... I mean... she needs to see her dad. He needs to see her. Like he is, how he's meant to be. A man."

::She sniffs again, her own feelings of the loss of a parent returning to her. More tears come.::

"So much has happened. Those poor people. And I threw that potion, and it all went wrong and I-"

"Babe, come on."

::Julie fights the pain and sits up pulling Andrea into a hug.::

"You helped him. Without you, he would stand no chance at all. We have to hope for the best. I doubt that he's going to give up and let himself die. He's human again. We've got the best doctors working on him too, Andy."

"Didn't need to kill those..."

::Andrea tails off.::

::Julie wonders what the hell Andrea's talking about, but doesn't ask.::

"At least we got out of there alive, Andrea. It could be worse. And Azura's alive too."

(Damn it.)

"Oh, yeah, thank God. I can't, I mean, thank God, when she appeared and she was okay... I didn't ask what had happened. I need to. I mean... I don't understand! Was it me? Maybe there's something wrong with me and she couldn't hear me..."

"Maybe she was just in need of some time alone. I don't know what to tell you, Andrea, can't really think of a reason to why she wouldn't answer you."

::Andrea lets out a little sigh.::

"Was so worried..."

"I know you were. But she's fine, you saw it yourself. Not a scratch, not a bump, not a bruise nor a rip on her skin."

::Hint hint?::

"And then there's you, all cut up and beaten, I get the idea."

::Andrea smiles at Julie and reaches out to touch her, stroking a couple of fingers over her forehead.::

"Sorry."

"Yeah! Look at me! I don't do beat up! I got cursed and nearly died to protect you."

::Julie crosses her arms and does a huffy face.::

"I know, I saw."

::Andrea replies with a gentle voice, her features soft.::

"Thank you. You... were amazing."

::Julie smiles.::

"That's better!"

::She does the tough face.::

"But not as amazing as I am in bed right?"

::Andrea blushes, but goes along with it, speaking in a very dry voice.::

"No, nothing in the world is as amazing as that, I will never experience such an incredible thing again, God help us all, you are that good."

"Hey!"

::Julie looks away.::

"Fine! No more sex for you then."

"I just said it was amazing!!"

"But you didn't mean it!"

::Huffs!::

"See if I ever almost die for you again!"

"Hmph."

::Andrea gives Julie a wry smile, then climbs on the bed beside her. Yep, over tubes and needles and, no doubt, giving lots of lovely pain to Julie.::

"Babe, needles in arms. Needles!"

::She shifts a bit trying not to get the needle moving all about in her vein.::

"Okay better."

::She sighs.::

"When are we going to know about Hunos? I wanna go home, I hate hospitals."

"I don't know."

::Aw, she doesn't even say sorry. Andrea cuddles up to Julie.::

"I looked like an evil sludge monster when I went for a shower."

::Julie kisses Andrea's head.::

"I don't remember what happened. Oh my God, they cleaned me and I wasn't even awake! How... weird."

::She shakes her head a bit and does her best to put her arm around her girlfriend so she can stroke her hair.::

"I like it when you're clean. You smell nice."

::She smiles.::

::Andrea walks her fingers up Julie's chest with a sly little grin on her face.::

"Don't you even like it when I'm a teensy bit dirty?"

::Julie's smile turns into a smirk.::

"Can't say I don't."

::She bends her knee a bit but then straightens it out again.::

"I don't have any underwear on."

"I think the pants they gave me are actually made of paper. You're in a better position than me."
