WHO: Princess Nuala, Anna Demirovna
WHAT: A few things clarified.
WHERE: The Hellsing Residence; Princess Nuala's room.
WHEN: Recently!
WARNINGS: Discussion of violence, the Balor twins' disturbing relationship, etc.
It is eventually both necessary and feasible to move Nuala out of the infirmary itself; without Bethmooran healers and without Nuada at hand to ensure that both twins are receiving proper care, much of her recovery process will be a matter of maintenance, keeping her comfortable and stable and not letting her up and about to work. This is, she strongly feels, the very worst of it; there is so much still that she must do, and she can hardly afford to waste her hours in idleness. There's only so much she can do from her own bed, particularly when the Hellsing nurses in and out to tend to her are engaged in committing the cardinal offense of actually enforcing doctor's orders to rest and let heself heal.

The injuries, extensive as they are, will heal -- faster for the twins than they might on mere mortals, even -- but she's always been a difficult patient and the awareness of how much else is tied into her recovery now hardly helps. The obligatory cursory investigation into the incident only encourages the rumours that they have chosen not to contradict (Hellboy, who can be trusted with the truth of the matter, handles that); it's smarter, long term, to let this work for rather than against them. It's only that she wishes she could have more of a hand in it, that this terribly useful thing didn't have to come at the expense of her own health, comfort and workload.

There are a few things she can take care of from here, however; when Anna is summoned, the nurse at the door admonishes her not to overfuss the princess with the air of someone who has had a very long day already.

Who: Sebastian & Snape
What: Medical funtimes and fussing about alarmist conspiracy theory lit quality literature.
Where: Wherever Snape has decided to treat Sebastian.
When: Shundi Evening.
Warnings: Snape. Podder. Books. Avert thine eyes.

When Sebastian arrives to see Snape for his regularly scheduled poking, prodding, and potion drinking session he now carries with him one of the books Severus suggested he read. The collection of brightly coloured post-it notes looks at odds with the well-worn cover and sombre subject matter. He's made a few remarks in his private journal, but the majority of his thinking remains on loose-leaf pieces of notepaper marking passages he needed to expand in order to understand or to contain his commentary and questions. He is a slow, methodical reader and should Severus ever observe him with a book in hand, it's clear that he puts a significant amount of effort into reading. Sebastian hopes that one day, he'll read purely for pleasure and find it as easy as he once rode a broom.

For now, neither of those options are open to him; although, seeing Severus to get his old injuries treated and exploring the city to see if there's any good way to restore his magic are going a long way toward the second.
