it's  abnormal,  to  step  away  from  the  frenzied  madness  and  into  the more  tranquil  aura  of  the  infirmary.  but her  brain,  rose  figures,  deserves  a  break,  especially  from  the  endless  spiral  of  rumination  she's  subjected  herself  to  over  the  last  forty  ---  eight  hours.  it  has  never  felt  like  a  fair  fight,  but  rose  knows  better  than  to  remain  fixated  on  that  fact,  especially  now.  better  yet,  she  blinks  away  any  semblance  of  the  lingering  rage  that's  made  a  permanent  home  inside  of  her  as  she  weaves  around  the  visitors  and  healers  alike  until  she's  reached  her  final  destination.  "hey,"  she  starts,  as  she  approaches  the  edge  of  his  bed.  for  maybe  the  first  time  in  her  life,  rose  is  cautious  as  she  greets  her  cousin,  determined  not  to  be  another  cause  of  further  harm.  "i  brought  sweets.  actually,  i  stole  them."  a  hand  raises  the  bag  of  assorted  sweets  that  she'd  nicked  from  the  kitchen  moments  before  as  she  delicately  crawls  onto  the  end  of  the  bed.  it  feels  easier,  to  joke  about  some  stolen  sweets  that  no  one  will  really  miss,  than  to  really  acknowledge  the  gravity  of  the  situation.  "i  don't  know  about  you,  but  i  could  really  use  some  chocolate  right  now."
