[OOM] The Dragonfly, Taris System.

It's been twelve hours.

The Wyrm has been hovering around the system, occasionally passing dangerously close to the spot on Taris' moon that they're hiding on. Each time it's passed on again.

Atton's fever has dropped a bit, but he still hasn't properly woken up, except for brief moments, and he's still rather overly warm.

Guppy picks up the half-eaten sandwich he'd put down, nods in thanks to Will, and starts to eat it.

He's trying to think through what he has left in his medical kit.

"I'll make some more coffee."

"Yeah, you do that," Atton says, accusingly.
guppy_sandhu: (hm)

[personal profile] guppy_sandhu 2009-03-28 09:27 pm (UTC)(link)
Guppy stops his sandwich mid-chew and eyes Atton. Then finishes his sandwich.

"It's good to see you conscious, anyway." he says. "Do you know anything about the toxin you were attacked with?"
will_scarlett: (sprawled in a chair)

[personal profile] will_scarlett 2009-03-28 09:28 pm (UTC)(link)
Will sighs as he heads off to the kitchen, since Atton can just be a pain at times.

"No clue. Something synthesised with the Force, so it doesn't necessarily have to be a toxin found anywhere else."

[personal profile] guppy_sandhu 2009-03-28 09:40 pm (UTC)(link)
"Is it something your body can metabolise?"
will_scarlett: (Explain yourself)

[personal profile] will_scarlett 2009-03-28 09:41 pm (UTC)(link)
Not too long, Will comes back with more food and drinks,

"'ow can we figure out what the toxin is?"

[identity profile] stuck-mynock.livejournal.com 2009-03-28 09:43 pm (UTC)(link)
"... Guppy, were you just not listening when I said I had no clue what it is? If I don't know what it is, I don't know anything about it, either."
guppy_sandhu: (hang on)

[personal profile] guppy_sandhu 2009-03-28 09:49 pm (UTC)(link)
"When someone is poisoned with an organic toxin, sometimes it is possible to know some things about it without knowing what it is." Guppy says, as patiently as he can.
will_scarlett: (leaning to see you)

[personal profile] will_scarlett 2009-03-28 09:53 pm (UTC)(link)
The food is handed out and Will gets quiet since he honestly doesn't know a lot about any of this stuff.

Atton just makes a grumpy noise, moving to get out of bed.
guppy_sandhu: (intense)

[personal profile] guppy_sandhu 2009-03-28 10:08 pm (UTC)(link)
"Don't even think about it." Guppy says. "Every time you move you spread the toxin around faster."
will_scarlett: (intense)

[personal profile] will_scarlett 2009-03-28 10:08 pm (UTC)(link)
"An ye're gettin' better."

[identity profile] stuck-mynock.livejournal.com 2009-03-28 10:10 pm (UTC)(link)
"'Kay. I'm going to ignore that advice," Atton says chirpily, getting out of bed.
guppy_sandhu: (incredulous)

[personal profile] guppy_sandhu 2009-03-28 10:30 pm (UTC)(link)
Guppy stares at him, the frustration building up so hard that something snaps.

He flings the plate of sandwiches across the room, where it smashes, gets up and walks back into the bedroom.

He curls up in a little ball on the floor next to the bed, already regretting throwing the plate. Waves and waves of emotions flooding him; the almost paralysing feelings of anxiety mixed in with the anger he has at himself for allowing those feelings to exist. The bitter disappointment in himself when he knows that Atton and Will deal with this sort of thing their entire lives and don't go mad or break down or throw plates and go curl up in a little ball.

The fact that the only useful role he plays in this team is as the medical officer, and yet his care and attention is of so little value as to warrant being deliberately and repeatedly ignored.

They've come so close to dying at the hands of others, that to watch Atton deliberately defying the things that might stop this toxin killing him is truly unbearable.

He pushes each emotion down, hard, bottling it up inside, and wiping his cheeks quickly in case one of the others comes in to investigate before he can go back out there and apologise.
will_scarlett: (just move)

[personal profile] will_scarlett 2009-03-28 10:32 pm (UTC)(link)
"Ye didna 'ave to do that."

He growls at Atton before starting to clean things up,

"Just stay in the bloody bed an get better."

[identity profile] stuck-mynock.livejournal.com 2009-03-28 10:34 pm (UTC)(link)
"I'm not the one throwing a tantrum," Atton remarks, slumping down into the cockpit chair and setting about flicking switches.
guppy_sandhu: (grief)

[personal profile] guppy_sandhu 2009-03-28 10:41 pm (UTC)(link)
Back in the bedroom, Guppy stays where he is, keeping his head on his knees in the darkness and trying to block out the flashbacks of explosions and people trying to kill them.

He assumes Will will come and get him if Atton collapses, so he tries to focus on pushing back his emotions. He feels for his pulse and checks it once a minute until it's back in normal range.
will_scarlett: (I see you)

[personal profile] will_scarlett 2009-03-28 10:42 pm (UTC)(link)
"Aye, ye are cause ye're na good at bein' sick."

[identity profile] stuck-mynock.livejournal.com 2009-03-28 10:43 pm (UTC)(link)
"I'm excellent at being sick," Atton says, wiping some sweat off his forehead.
guppy_sandhu: (hang on)

[personal profile] guppy_sandhu 2009-03-28 10:50 pm (UTC)(link)
He's probably so mad at me right now. I never have been able to make the grade.
"You always were a disappointment to me"
The anger and frustration is pushed back into a sort of dull ache, a feeling of painful exhaustion.

I was never cut out to be an adventurer. I should have been... a lumberjack.

He uncurls slightly and gets up, feeling very tired and a bit shaky. He decides to sit on the edge of the bed and compose himself for a moment; then he'll go back in and apologise.
will_scarlett: (I see you)

[personal profile] will_scarlett 2009-03-28 10:53 pm (UTC)(link)
"Oh aye, course ye are. So ye're well 'nough to go an 'pologize to Guppy when 'e's tryin' to make ye well."

[identity profile] stuck-mynock.livejournal.com 2009-03-28 10:56 pm (UTC)(link)
"I'm well enough to lay in hyperspace coordinates and get back into bed."
guppy_sandhu: (unbreakmyheart)

[personal profile] guppy_sandhu 2009-03-28 11:13 pm (UTC)(link)
Guppy gets up, feeling light headed. He ignores it and goes back into the main room.

"I'm sorry for smashing the plate." he says to Will.
