"Here," Kay said as he carried Elle into one of the cabin's bedrooms and carefully tucked her into the old four poster bed. "How do you feel?"
"Cold," Elle whispered. She felt so sleepy and weak, barely having enough energy to talk. "My chest hurts. Burns."
""They had to work on you quiet a bit after the transfusion. It's probably from that," he said as he took her hand again to reassure her. "Slick, bring the first aid kit in here!"
"Is she okay?" Jay asked as he came in lagging the large kit.
"Electrical burns, I think," Kay muttered as he started to look through the kit one-handed to try to find the supplies to treat and bandage the burns. "Electrical burns? How did.... Oh!" Jay suddenly realized how Elle had got the burns and a second later realized exactly where they would be. He quickly backed out the door calling, "You can handle that! I'll just put away the supplies!"
"Here," Kay murmured as he carefully eased the top of the hospital gown Elle was wearing down just enough to expose the first burn. The skin at the top of her right breast was seared from the electricity, swollen and an angry red. He carefully cleaned the burn a bit and then applied a anesthetic cream to the injury to ease the pain. He applied a bandage and then repeated the procedure on the other burn, easing the gown open by pulling the loosely fastened ties at the back open and then easing the left side of the now free material around to expose the burn.
"Better?" he asked as soon as he was done.
Elle slowly nodded. "Thank you," she whispered, staring up at him with an expression on her face that said she was thanking him for a lot more than a few bandages.
Kay looked in the first aid kit again and fished out a thin plastic sheet that he pressed against her forehead for a moment. "93. Not too bad. Let's get you warmed up now," he said as he reached down and pulled up a quilt that was laying at the foot of the bed, tucking her in securely.
"Hold me?" Elle whispered in a weak tone.
"Alright," Kay took off his jacket and after a moment's though, unbuttoned his shirt, easing under the covers with her and gathering her up so her head and upper body rested against his bare chest. "That better?"
"Yes. Don't let go," Elle murmured as her eyes slipped shut and a moment later she was fast asleep.
