4: Day 3
How are you feeling this morning, Sir Hellsing?
No worse, Doctor. (Heavy coughing) Although my cough certainly hasn't gotten any better.
That's good. Do you have any joint pain?
Nothing out of the ordinary as far as I can tell.
Good, good. And your stomach pains? The nurses told me you were complaining about them last night.
Yes, I had a bout of vomiting last night as well. I'm doing better. They're not gone, just dulled.
That's good to know. I'll make sure we keep a close eye on that. (Sigh) How is your brother faring?
(Silence)
He's scared. Is he here? I want to see him.
Yes, he's here. He's been in the waiting room for three days. No one can seem to get him to leave.
I want to see him.
I'll let him know.
Thank you, Doctor.
~O~
Landon? Your sister is asking for you.
How is she, Doc? Is she all right? Is she going to be okay?
She's doing just fine, son. It's still early on, but I'm sure she's going to make it. She hasn't gotten any worse.
Okay. Okay. Can I see her now?
Yes, of course, right this way.
~O~
Hey, sis. How are you?
I'm doing all right, Lanny.
Doc said you're doing fine.
I suppose I am.
They called me last night. You had a fever. Among other things.
I still do.
Did it go down?
No, but it hasn't gone up, either.
(Sigh) Well, that's good, I guess.
(Silence)
You need to go home, Landon.
Integra, no—
You've been here for three days.
I went home last night! Walter had to drag me out.
Good. Let him know he has my permission do it again.
Integra…
You need to sleep, Landon.
So do you.
(Silence)
I don't want to fight with you, Teggy.
I know, Landon. I know. We both need to sleep. Go home and get some rest. I'm not going anywhere.
Okay…I love you.
I love you, too.
