She needed a distraction. Anything, something to focus on outside of her own head and the imagination she was so blessed with. Most days she found it fortunate; today it sent shivers down her spine. Even with Drift on ceaseless guard, and Caesar ever more present in her room, it was hard not to wonder if that something would slip back in and take another eye, or be delighted wondering what else it could collect off her before she either killed it or watched it driven off by someone else.

The best excuse came with the condensing of patients in rooms, going from the privacy of a single occupant (even with her plus two) to the more crowded group that moved in when she met her temporary roommate.

Lavi, however, was a pleasant surprise. One who might work in her favor as she considered options for what to do. Tablet out and on her lap, Collette tapped listlessly through her applications, searching through files. A familiar name caught her eye. She grinned.

"Hey, Lavi," she asked, voice raspy and thick. "Do you like stories?" She glanced toward Caesar, gauging how awake he was at this point.

It's fortunate that Lavi isn't alone in his misery because he's pretty certain he would have gone insane if he'd continued to be stuck in a room alone while everybody else was either also getting sick or out there busy catching the ones responsible. So really, the move to a more crowded room was actually a welcome one despite the drawbacks shared rooming had too. It keeps him from sneaking out and causing trouble for the nurses again, at the very least. It was extra nice to find himself rooming with someone he knew and liked.

One of the nurses had also been kind enough to give him something to keep him from getting too bored. Except it had only worked for about five minutes before he'd solved the rubix cube — a vintage toy she'd said — she'd given him. He's been messing it up and resolving it ever since if only to keep his hands busy.

In fact, he was solving it with his eye closed (a task far too easy when one has photographic memory) when Collette called out. Her voice and the promise of something interesting it held comes as a very welcome distraction. He opened his eye, glancing over curiously.

"I love 'em. Why?"
