closed starter for @drjuliasato location: aurora bay hospital
"Julia," Ari's voice was even despite the raise of her eyebrow, "...are you sleeping with your eyes open?" It was a fair question. She knew the hours people kept in this hospital, in any hospital really, were ridiculous. She felt a familiar burn in her own eyes, though she was long past the struggle to rub or fight to keep them open. She just sort of functioned now, as if she didn't have the mechanism to shut them at all.
She withdrew her boot clad heels from the seat of the plastic chair next to her and leaned an elbow on the hospital cafeteria table, a ghost of a smirk playing on her lips as she raised a finger in front of her friend's eyes, "Mandatory visual check. If you fail, I get your tray," And in no way could Sato blame her. It was mashed potato day after all. "Think you can keep up?"
