Sooner than you think, my dears. *I shake my head as I stand up and look around a moment, wondering where I can lay them, my eyes lighting on the couch once more. Wasn't this one the sofa-bed we'd originally had in the living room? I glance at A-Carson, who catches my eye and starts to work unfolding the couch into a bed as I get to my knees beside Gabriel and Dante, checking their vitals*
A-
Y' knew that this would 'appen. Aang, y' should 'ave--*I cut him off with a quick look and half shake my head*
I wanted to, my Love. I wanted to. But I couldn't I had to let it happen...the only way they would allow me to help them was if there wasn't anything else to be done...and that is the case now.
*I lift Gabriel easily, amazed I hadn't noticed how light he always seemed in my arms, and lay him on one side of the bed, then lift Dante equally easily and lay him on the other side, looking quickly around the room at the four friends I must now care for*
*looks around the edge of the door and notices Beck has dozed off in her chair, the teacup tucked in her hands* Aang, Lass...c'n I? *he nods to Beck*
Yes Carson, do take my poor worn out sister to bed now. She's had a long day today, stay close beside her...keep her safe. *I go to Beck and kiss her cheek gently, disconnecting the teacup from her hands* Rest easy tonight, Sister. Good night. *Carson lifts Beck in his arms and walks out, taking her to their bedroom and leaving A-Carson and I alone with our four friends*
A- Shall we give them th' same as we did Corey an' Poet, 'elp them rest easy for once? *he looks at me and I nod quietly, turning back to Gabriel and Dante with a small cloth in my hands to gently wipe away the sweat from their faces*
Rest now my friends, now it's my turn to care for you, and there isn't a thing you can do to stop me. I told you the time would come, my dears. *whisper gently to them, half smiling to myself as I tend to them*
