"You aren't dying Albert," Lewis said, "You'll be alright and then we can both head back to camp and everything will be the same as always. And who knows, John may have helped me even if you hadn't been shot."

"Yeesh lad, I don' have time to die." he grinned. "They jus' thought I was. And I hadn't been shot I would've killed those germans myself."

Lewis chuckled, "I'm sure you would've Albert. Those Germans would have regretted ever placing a hand on me."

The Newfie grinned.

"Alright lad, I need some sleep. Plus, I think that doctor's startin' to give ye glares."

"Alright, get better quickly Albert," Lewis said, "The base won't seem the same when you're gone."

Then he turned and left the hospital to go back home to Marianne.

((To Lewis and Marianne's House))

(i am so confused. did the battle already happen?)

((we are at alies base))

Sybille couldn't help but listen to the conversations of the hospital. She saw Mister Lewis Filler checking in on his frind, and faintly wondered where the nurse Mariane had gone to. Maybe he really was taking care of her now. She wondered if the rumors were true, and then shook her head. She would no longer let herself be a believer of rumors. They were nothing but trouble. Once she had what she needed, she headed back to the Allies Base.

Albert coughed, glancing around. Nobody had come to check on him today, and he was feeling awful lonely.

(yeah a real patient!!!! sorry if you had something in mind...)

Sybille came to Albert's bed and refilled the glass of water at the small table. She turned to him.

"Are you hungry?" she asked.

He smiled and shook his head.

"No lass, but thank ye for the water." he said. "Been parched all day. So damn hot out."

Lewis stumbled into the room, completely wet from head to toe and holding a basket in one hand, an unhappy look on his face. He brushed his wet hair back from his forehead and walked over towards where Albert was. "Hello," he mumbled.

Sybille chuckled in amusement as a dripping man trudged into the hospital.

"He couldn't take the heat either I'm guessing," she commented, referring to Lewis. She headed back in search for a towel. She knew someone would slip on the water he'd brought in.

Albert couldn't help but laugh when he walked in, but went into a coughing fit when his lungs couldn't take it.

"Sorry lad." he said. "Dare I ask?"

"You'll find out anyway," Lewis grumbled, "I took Marianne for a little swim... although she throw a fit because I took her dress off then just kinda threw her in."

He rolled his eyes. "I'll have to pay for that one later."

Albert just blinked.

"Erm, lad..."

"Yeah?" Lewis grabbed a chair and sat down next to Albert. "Don't worry, I know I made a mistake when Marianne ran off in a huff."

"Lad, that's a bit more than a mistake." Albert pointed out. He looked around, wondering where the nurse had gotten to.

Sybille returned with a towel and mop. She tossed the towel at Lewis, not really caring if he was expecting it or not, and proceeded to mop up the water, muttering something about cleaning up after people wasn't what she signed up for.

"Yeah," Lewis took the towel and rubbed water from his hair. "Do you think I should get her flowers, get on my hands and knees and ask her to pretend it never happened?"

Albert smiled, knowing it would hurt if he laughed again.

"Lad, ye're screwed."

Lewis sighed and glanced at the basket he had put down on the floor, wishing he was still with Marianne. "She'll get over it," he said, "I did say I was sorry and if I do something really good to make up to it..."

"Ye think she'll just sweep it under the rug?" Albert said, managing a laugh. "Lord Lewis, ye're a riot. We all know women hold on to things for years and years!"

He glanced down at Sybille.

"My apologies, lass."

Sybille forced a polite smile and nodded. She picked up the used towel and wiped up the floor one last time to prevent slippage.

((Did Jessi leave?? She hasn't been posting for 20 minutes...))

"I'll just have to do something extra nice," Lewis said, "I'll buy flowers, set up a whole nice backyard to our house... and..."

He trailed off, trying to think of something really good.

((Oh... You didn't leave Jessi. XD))

(nah I'm here. I just post every other post because my character isn't really doing anything important and i don't want to take up space)

((She's easedropping!!))

(yeah. She does that :P but she also mops, and thats rather boring..)

Matt was soaked through, walking slowly he searched for the man he had come to see. Across the room he heard light conversation but didn't look to see who made up the little group. He was cold and tired, he hoped he wouldn't find the worst on this visit.
