Raven let her cling to him. What else was he supposed to do?

When Dan found enough people she suggested that they take Raven and Laurel to the little medical clinic. Raven glanced at Laurel to see if she had anything to say about it.

Laurel said nothing, she seemed to have calmed down a little. After a moment she slowly stood, almost faltering on her cramped legs but she managed to stand. But... when she tried to pull away from Raven, she couldn't. Her hands might as well have been frozen to his shirt.

Raven looked like he was gonna try to take off his shirt, but thought better of it. So he slowly stood and with everyone's help they made their way to the clinic.

When the got to the clinic, Laurel sat beside Raven as best she could. The remaining nurse (the doctor had gone on tour with James) came over and slowly was able to get Laurel's hands free of Raven. They still remained in fists. The nurse then turned to attention to Raven, asking him to remove his shirt as she looked over the injuries.

"Eh, I'm just gonna sleep for a little longer if that's alright," Raven told the nurse, beginning to lay down without waiting for permission. "Take care of her hands first."

The nurse shrugged and then worked on Laurel's hands. A little while later, something warm curled up next to Raven.

Raven almost woke up, but proceeded to fall back asleep just as quickly.

When the nurse returned she had to chuckle. Kama the wild dog has plopped down right next to Raven and Amela was currently residing on his head. Laurel sat on the floor next to the bed he slept on, slowly petting Rosemary who was in her lap. The nurse tried to get her to sleep but Laurel wouldn't move.

After an hour, it looked like Raven was going to sleep for as long as they would allow him to.

Laurel wandered around for awhile, not acknowledging anyone. Eventually she ended up down by the motorcycles. She just stared at them for awhile before she suddenly mounted one.

Bee remained on Cong's bed, eventually falling asleep.

The girls continued about their normal routine though as lunch rolled around Roselyn wanted to talk to Dan.

Dan managed to wander back to her room and was sleeping when Roselyn came looking for her.

As dinner time the nurse gently roused Raven, "I need to look at your injuries." she said quietly with a smile.

Raven complained a little. "... Tell me that smell isn't me..." he muttered as he opened his eyes.

"No," the nurse reassured him with a chuckle, "You have a few visitors." Kama licked Raven's face as she started to sit up. Amela screeched from the top of his head.

Raven groaned again as he slowly got up. He double check to make sure Laurel was scarce before he let the nurse look at him. It was probably a very good thing too; he had bruised up rather nicely from the beating she had given him.

The nurse raised her eyebrows but didn't ask as she looked him over. "Alright, go ahead and lay back down." she said as she retrieved from medical cream. "This will sting a bit but does wondering with bruising." she explained.
