Wishing and Hoping (Felix)

[Esha Mallory]

Twinridge wasn't so bad after a while. Although she didn't really have the run of the facility like the low risk people might, she was more than content. She could visit the library and walk on the grounds, so at least she wasn't cooped up in her room all day. Meal times were interesting if you lingered long enough. They brought in the high risks, and you could watch them. They were an interesting group of people and Esha had found her gaze coming back to a blonde man that didn't seem all that interested in eating. He pushed food around his plate, and was very pale.

Since she'd first innocently remained behind and seen him, she'd been deliberately staying. There was something about him that drew her, and knowing that he was high risk, meant that there was a challenge in getting to see him more often. Laura, their orderly, didn't seem to mind Esha lingering in the dining room, so it was easy enough to gain a few extra minutes here and there to be able to see him. She'd wanted to ask Laura his name, but didn't think that the orderly would really allow it. They didn't seem to encourage patients getting cozy.

Still, he was like a chocolate she had to taste, and as the days passed, she gathered up enough courage to approach his table, and give him a quick smile as she was escorted out. She hoped that it would be enough to get him to sit with her the next day. Esha wasn't brave enough to actually sit at his table and start a conversation, so here she sat, waiting and eating as slowly as possible, hoping that he'd see her and come and sit down.

[Felix C. Roberts]

Of course Felix had noticed her staring. He saw her each time her came into the dining room but his fuming anger was like a red light, blocking out everything else, especially the young girl who kept lingering and staring at him. Her eyes seemed to constantly burn into the back of his head as he toyed with his food. Yesterday had been no different. She'd approached him and then was escourted out by Laura. Felix had flicked his eyes up to meet her and frowned when she was lead away.

What had she wanted? Maybe she was one of those flies he could trap? Maybe he could have fun with her. Felix knew it would be challenging to get her alone but maybe there was a way to get the blood he needed from her.
"Mrs. Knight. There's a patient... she keeps watching me. May I...?"
Laura was walking beside Felix heading to the dinning room where he was expected to go sit down.

Laura cut him off when she produced a pare of gloves and Felix rolled his eyes, reluctantly putting them on his hands. Felix was lead inside and to the HRP table by Laura. His blue eyes as always found his loyal little stalker and he sat down before he was clipped in.
"Which girl Felix?"
Laura asked after clipping his feet in so that he wouldn't be able to move. It was a precausion that most Orderlies had to take if they thought that something might happen and Felix gave Laura a dull look before turning his head forward and staring off into the distance.

"I know, it's against your file to let you near other people especially after what you did to Dr. Polkowski but I normally believe that it's possitive for humans to interact for them to get better."
Felix quirked a brow at Laura then glanced over at Esha who was one of her own two MRP's then back to her. Laura nodded.
"Fine. I'll take Reece back to his room. You wait here and I'll get her to bring you your food and medication. "

Felix gave Laura a tight lipped smile then shot his eyes to Reece over his shoulder who instantly looked up feeling Felix's eyes on him. He and Reece had chatted, well, Felix had talked, Reece had written in his notebook when Esha had been in a session with her doctor and the two boys had come to like one another's company. Felix mouthed to Reece then nodded to Laura. Reece slowly smirked and nodded before Felix turned to the front again. Reece had always become a bleeder to Felix.

Felix had mentioned being a vampre and Reece had all too eagerly given his thumb a paper cut for Felix. Laura in the mean time, moved to crouch beside Esha.
"I have a favour to ask. Can you go get Felix's food and tablets and go sit with him for me. Don't let him take off his glooves alright? And don't give him any sharp objects or any blood."
Okay, she'd be surprised if Esha ever wanted to be around Felix again after what she'd just said to him.

Laura winced and then patted Esha's shoulder.
"I'll see you later."
She nodded and Reece got to his feet following her almost with intent, his blue eyes intencely focussed on her. Now all Felix had to do was wait for Esha to come to him with the pull cup which she would return to him with her blood in it. It was a great idea. At least he thought so. He wondered how much convincing it would take though...

[Esha Mallory]

Esha nodded to Laura, although she had no real intention of actually following orders that Laura gave her when it came to Felix. She wouldn't unclip him or take the gloves off, but the rest of it...and what did she mean, don't give him any blood? She rose from her seat, and moved over to the line where they handed out the food and pills, and told them that she was picking up Felix's. She was surprised they actually gave it to her, but she supposed that Laura had spoken to them and she'd been to busy watching him to notice it.

She picked up utensils on the way, and then made her way back to his seat. Esha shot him a smile as she set the tray in front of him, and then settled into the next chair. The Indian girl wanted to say something bright and witty, but nothing was coming to mind, and the longer she sat there, the more she knew that her time was running out. Finally, she managed to give him a weak hello.

"Hi, I'm Esha. Miss Laura asked me to bring you your food and pills." Well, that was obvious, and rather stupid. She could feel a blush rising on her cheeks, and her head bowed to the table. She should have known better than to approach him. Although she wanted it, she had no idea what to say now that she'd achieved her aim. Absently, she scratched at her arm, not realizing that she was drawing blood with her nails. She'd gotten an insect bite and had managed to scratch it completely raw.
