Tina thought it funny that Newt was now in a hospital bed after what happened. Not that it was funny that he was in severe agony, but the event that lead up to him being there.
"You think that I deserved this?" asked Newt, his head propped up on the pillow, staring at the American witch.
Newt must have seen her smile in her eyes, for Tina did not show it on her face. At this question, she did smile however, and placed a gentle hand on his sheets. "No, I don't, although you could've acted a bit more mature, and then you wouldn't have got those nasty cuts. With poison."
Newt looked stumped. "I am mature!" he protested.
"Really!" chuckled Tina, "You behave like a child in a candy store!"
The magizoologist pouted up at her and then turned away, obviously miffed.
"So, what happened?" asked Queenie, looking between Tina and Newt. She and Tina were the ones who had hauled Newt over their shoulders and took him to the hospital, though she wasn't with them when the accident had happened.
"Newt was being careless, as always." said Tina, rolling her eyes and looking affectionately at the wizard buried in the sheets.
At this, Newt turned his head around to look at her. "No I did not! I was just talking to you about the properties of Mooncalf dung, when I accidentally tripped on some and cut myself on a few leaves and then Swoop here wanted to help. No really, it was just an accident. I mean, I never would've known what he would've done."
"I tell you, Newt talked so much, he would have interrupted me at his own funeral." said Tina, turning to her sister, her arms crossed against her chest.
Newt blubbered that he did not, and Queenie watched the two of them, smiling.
Tina stood up and reached to the curtain behind Newt's bedpost.
"The dawn is coming, but the stars are still in the sky," she said as she drew back the curtain. And she walked back to the chair that was beside Newt's bed. When she was about to sit down, Newt took her by the wrist and pulled her towards him, and she sat down on the edge of his bed. "They're beautiful." he said, and drew Tina closer to him, planting a kiss on her cheek.
