[ Oh boy, it's been a while Plane! There is a good reason for this, and this reason is a doozy. This is quickly seen when Sefton appears; not only are his wrists strapped to the gurney that he's brought with him, but he's also dressed in a pair of scrubs, barefoot, and trying to wrest his hands free from the bindings in quiet panic. ]

Come on, come on, come on, come on...!

Agh! [ He flops back against the pillow, momentarily defeated and breathing heavily. Looking for all the world like the scared, helpless fifteen year old that he is. ] Dad... Dad... why would you do this...?

[ Standard Sefton disclaimer applies, yes. ]

I didn't... touch him. Just the ties. I wasn't going to. But... I guess it doesn't matter. I'll apologize to him when I see him again.

[She dries her eyes one final time, then gives Chivy a small little smile... but even as small as it is, it's brimming over with gratitude.]

Thank you, Chivy. I'm sorry you had to see me cry.

Sorry you were crying. [Any other time and he'd be giving Sefton a lecture about being nice to people who are trying to be nice to you, but... this one time can slide, but that's only because of the extreme circumstances.]
