Hello again Nurse.....

Rosemary limped along with Miller to the Nurse's office from the Greenhouses after their incident with Alex and the Headmistress, Rose thankfully now slightly warmer than she was but was still pale and weak from having used all her Solar energy in one go so she was certainly expecting a lecture of that from the Nurse, as well as having not worn her support for her leg like she was supposed to.

But at this moment, Rose was just trying to ignore of just how close she actually was to Miller so kept her composure despite the pain being evident due to the sweat on her face which may also be a sign of something that may have happened from her being frozen but she was just concentrating on her breathing and guiding Miller to the office in one piece.

Miller had an odd feeling as he was helping Rosemary to the nurse’s office, he couldn’t exactly understand what it was, but it wasn’t bothering him too much. He completely forgot about his own bleeding hand as he was trying to focus all his attention on trying to find the nurse’s office. At this moment he thought that he should probably explore the school more often so he’ll know where the places such as these would be.

Miller tried to start up a conversation as he thought the awkward silence was, well awkward. “So, what were you doing by the plant house?” he asked looking down at her. He noticed her sweating, but didn’t think much of it.

On Miller's question, Rosemary froze up as she tried to remember, 'I can't tell you that I was there to work out my thoughts and feelings about you Miller, I've only known you a whole day....' Her thought pleaded but she spoke with mild confidence. "I was out for some air and Lunar energy.... Usually I go up on the roof but I hadn't explored the greenhouses so I thought of walking around there to help strengthen my leg a bit."

'I hadn't hoped of seeing you there..... But boy would it have seemed nice just us two being there if Alex didn't show up!' Her heart beat quickened slightly as what may have happened which she couldn't control so only prayed that it wasn't so loud to hear or that Miller's hand on her waist wouldn't feel it either as she blushed, for once no light glowing at the same time.

Miller looked at Rose once again after the response she gave to his question. “hm, I went there because the glass house and plants interested me” Miller replied looking back to the front of him to see where he was going. his face went blank as he thought of everything that happened today then he let out “today was odd, is every day like this here?”.

Miller's hand felt a change from Rosemary's waist that something was starting to beat more, he looked back down at her and noticed her blushing. “your face is turning red” he pointed out “is there something wrong?”

Rosemary chuckled, "There have been weirder days..... It becomes the norm after a while..." She replied as she guided him towards one of the beds which she eased herself onto carefully.

Rose placed a hand on her cheek, "Is it...?" She asked but feeling her warm cheek gave all her answers. 'Damn... Damn..... DAMN! Why do I have to be such a virgin around guys?!' She thought to herself, "Uhhhh.... Just all the... Uhhh.... Adrena... Adrenaline getting my heart beat back into sync, so my faces gets warm..." She stuttered, 'That was pathetic?! You surely need to get a grip!' She chastised herself in her mind with a sigh before sneezing quietly.

Miller let her go as she got onto the bed, he looked back at his hand and was reminded about his wound. He still doesn’t know what to do about it, he pressed it against his stomach to try to stop the blood. “it might just be us then, we’ve never interacted with other people to much before we came here” he replied.

Miller wasn’t too sure if what Rose said was true or not, but since he thought she would know more about this then he would he believed her. “Ok then” he said as he wondered why she was so nervous to say this.

Rosemary carefully lifted her left leg onto the bed so that there was no weight on it as she tried to think of something to say to fill the awkward silence, though spotting his hand still bleeding she placed her hand over his wound and added the right amount of pressure whilst keeping it as elevated as possible.

"Miller.... How much do you know.... About emotions... And.. And feelings?" She tentatively asked, why she was asking it randomly she did not know, it just came out of her before she could stop herself so mentally chastised herself for the stupidity of her question and lack of understanding and empathy on her own part.

Miller looked back down at Rosemary as she put her hand over his. The silence between the two felt odd to Miller and when her hand touched his it just felt a bit odder to him. He probably just doesn’t understand the feeling he had at that moment, it could be why he felt it being odd. He looked away from Rose to try and find something to attract his attention in order to get rid of the odd feeling.

His attention was grabbed by her question and his eyes fell back upon her again. He replied “feelings... emotions?” as he was thinking of those words and their meanings. An answer popped into his head after going through his mind and thinking back to the years when he was in the laboratory. Then he answered “those are what the white coated people told us to stop having”. The expression on his face did not change while he spoke.

Rosemary nodded at his repetition of her question before she listened to him. "It is emotions that makes us human... Allows us to have fun, friendship.... Happiness, sadness... To grieve of those gone..." She paused as she looked outside the window, the light just flickering in. "It allows us to love people and to care for each other..." She stated with a sigh, her nerves still there but she swallowed them as she kept her pressure on his hand, firmly but with a touch of care and kindness.

She was so unsure of herself, was she.... Having a crush? Or was it more? 'It definitely can't.... He doesn't know much, he was a machine created to kill people... Which I know he isn't anymore... So what is he? And what is he to me?'

Miller listened to Rosemary as he always did when she was answering a question of his. When she mentioned human he lifted his blade arm and looked at it as he twisted the sword around. The word human was floating around his head as he looked at his arm. He looked back at Rose and said “happiness... sadness I know these emotions so well, but yet so little”. He slowly lowered his steel arm.

Miller was a bit confused after the mention of human and trying to figure out what exactly he was himself. He moved his hand away from Rose’s and looked at the wound on his hand again ‘I bleed like a human, am I human?’, ‘we are not human, humans are the enemy’ he thought to himself. He looked back at Rose “we aren’t human” he hissed.

The sound of children speaking caught up to Amy as she came closer to her office, half a sandwich still in her hand. Working during the summer was never exciting; the fewer students, the less trouble there was for them to get into. She had forgotten to place a “Be back soon” note on the door or something, and cursed at herself. Hopefully they hadn’t been there long…

Running into her office, she tossed the sandwich on her desk and turned to the two students. “I’m so sorry I wasn’t here! How long have you all been here? Oh, goodness, blood. Okay, okay, give me one second. Can I get your names while I’m grabbing things?”

Pulling some gauze from her a pocket on her scrubs, she reached into the cabinets for antiseptic, sutures, a needle holder, aaand… hmm, a Tetanus shot, just to be safe. She wasn’t sure how deep the boy’s cut (stab? Oh she didn’t know yet) was, so she’d rather grab too much than not enough.

Smiling as she neared them, she placed everything she’d grabbed on the table closest to the girl’s bed and held out her hand for the boy’s. “By the way, I’m Miss Amy. What happened to you, dear?”she asked the young woman lying on the bed. She assumed it had something to do with her legs; probably a rolled ankle or the like. It was normal for kids to be hurt more during the summer. They were busy running around and having fun.

Rosemary jumped slightly when she heard Miss Amy come in, "Uhhhhh not very long Ma'am, and Miss Starlight..... Rosemary Starlight..." She replied as she watched the Nurse collect some things together before seeing to Miller, though Rose tried to find something to clean her hands with seen as she had Miller's blood on them.

"I landed awkwardly during some Gymnastic practise and then.... We were in training which I really shouldn't have taken part in as now I think I popped my knee out again..." She summarised quite quickly. "And I've completely run out of Solar energy, and was frozen...." She added at the end.

'She's gonna kill me once she looks at my medical record?!' She thought in her head with a slight grimace.

Miller quickly turned around to the entrance after hearing someone come in. He saw what he thought would be the nurse and calmed down a bit. He watched the woman as she was digging through the cabinets. He noticed she grabbed a needle and didn’t feel very secure, so he kept an eye on her.

He replied after Rose did feeling it be necessary “um... My name, Miller”.

Miller noticed Amy’s hand reached out for him, he looked at her hand curiously, then realized that she probably wanted to check out his hand. He slowly inched his hand towards her hand, not knowing whether to trust this person or not.

While she waited for Miller’s hand, she listened to Rosemary and gave a small tut. “I have no idea how to treat you for running out of ‘Solar energy’, but I can help with the knee, and maybe even the freezing thing. Do you still feel cold?” She glanced at the girl, taking note of the blood on her hands. Since she didn’t see any cuts and the blood seemed dry, it could wait. It was probably just this boy’s anyway.

Miller’s hesitation made her smile a bit. Having to look up at him made her chuckle, and she shook her head. “Miller, right? You don’t have to worry here. For one thing, you’ve got height and weight against me. For another, you’re safe here. The worst that’s going to happen is I’m going to have to give you a Tetanus shot, because I don’t know what you were stabbed with, and you could easily contract tetanus, also known as lockjaw, which does exactly as it’s called. Then I’ll give you antibiotics, which you have to take to make sure the cut doesn’t get infected, and wrap your hand up and that’s it. Rosemary, I think some ice and maybe a brace could help your knee. As far as warming you up, I’d suggest soup and maybe just going outside. Can you walk on your knee, or does it hurt?”

Amy pursed her lips at Miller’s left arm, and walked to wash her hands and put on gloves. She filled a small bowl with soapy water, keeping a good-sized piece of gauze draped over it. “Miller, are you going to be alright with needles and whatnot? Normally I’d just take students’ powers away when stitching them up, but I have a feeling that wouldn’t work with you. It won’t hurt much, just like a bee sting.”

Rosemary sighed, "The Solar energy I can recharge tomorrow.... But the brace and ice would be appreciated, however I can't walk on my leg as whenever I put weight on it, pain flares up..." Rose answered, 'Wow..... No lecture!.......... Yet.' She thought to herself as she watched Amy treat Miller.

Feeling a sneeze, she turned away from Amy and Miller so that she couldn't pass on anything before she sneezed quietly. "Yes... I still feel quite cold.. But not as cold as I was beforehand..." She slightly shivered, it didn't help that she was in a dress in the first place but she hadn't intended to be in a fight.
