Sage didn't really have the energy to answer the girl so he nodded once, the simple movement making him scrunch his face up painfully. He waited there while the girl went....somewhere...and then when she handed him the water he nodded slowly. He reached his hands out to have her help him up into a sitting position. It would hurt like hell, and maybe wasn't the best idea....but he wasn't sure how well he could drink laying down.

Quinn looked at him. Yeah... Sage was probably right, drinking while laying down wasn't the easiest. She grabbed his hands and very, very gently tried to pull him up... but she knew this would hurt extremely bad. Once he was in a sitting position Quinn handed him the cup, hoping he could drink it.

Sage sort of just...grit his teeth and let the girl haul him up. He let out a whine on the way up, and had to catch his breath once he was actually up, but he was up. He reached a shaky hand out to grasp the cup and chugged it as best he could before collapsing back onto his back with a pained grunt. It hurt, a lot, landing like that...but sitting up was worse. And, well, now he was tired. He passed out pretty quickly...whatever was in that drink, it was working. He was still in pain, but nothing like before.

Quinn winced when Sage just... fell back to the ground. -ouch- she thought... but at least the poppyseed worked. He was out like a light. Quinn sighed and leaned against the wall, closing her eyes. Within moments she was asleep... Quinn really was tired, and rooting through Sage's insides wasn't helping with her stomach...

Sage was out cold for quite a while, and he was still groggy when he woke up the next morning, so he sort of just closed his eyes again and went back to sleep. Whatever she'd given him was definitely still in his system...it had only been around five hours, so that made sense. Everything hurt, but not as bad as before...and he was able to get into a deep sleep, so he could feel much like that anyway.

Quinn was still asleep. She didn't wake when Sage woke... she just slept on and on. At least 12 hours straight... (sorry it's short.. I'm trying to think up something to happen. SOME THING POSITIVE THIS TIME lol.)

(loll right. We could maybe amp the ro.ance up a bit while they're laying in here together if you'd like)

Sage decided to go back to sleep after a bit. It hurt less, and he had nothing else to do.

(Yeah, we could try that. We might have to wait a day or two though... Quinn is so traumatized right now XD)

Quinn finally woke around 1:00 PM, taking in a sharp breath and sitting up quickly. She looked at Sage... letting out a gush of air and relaxing slightly as she saw his chest was still rising and falling. He was alive. Quinn murmured something under her breath and crept forward, deciding that the poppy was probably at its strongest right now. It would start fading soon, so she had better hurry. Quinn took off the bandage and tried to gently clean the wound out with water, then put more Chervil on. She wrapped it back up with clean cloth, sitting back and hoping that didn't hurt him too much

(Ahaha yeah. Let them settle down a bit first)

Sage didn't move when Quinn got up and unwound the bandages around his torso. He flinched slightly at the first touch of the water, though he soon stilled. He was in a bit of pain, but after the first touch he grew used to it, and admittedly the cool water and herbs felt nice on the warmer wound. He stayed asleep the whole time, though once the chervil drew out any extra heat from under the bandage, he settled down again, relaxed for the first time in a while. Well, as relaxed as he could be.

Quinn glanced at Sage, happy he was still asleep. She stood and walked out the cave entrance, checking on Sahara and Chaos. They asked her to inform them of Sage's condition, so she did. "Well... he was shot. I just redressed the wound... boiled water, though let it cool off first... some Chervil on top. He should be fine..." Quinn informed them the best she could
