Nika had missed the telltale beeping of the med cuff earlier. The tones indicated the pending administration of drugs. She was out again without knowing or having heard anything said to her and when she woke again it seemed as though months had passed. She felt sorry without knowing why. It was as though she'd disappeared from something and abandoned people who were very important to her with little explanation. It was a curious feeling. Sorry. She was so sorry.
The tones sounded again even as she lay blinking at the ceiling. Awareness was on her side this time and she ripped the cuff off with perhaps more force than strictly necessary. She swung wooden legs off the bed and levered herself upright. Food. Her mouth was cotton from the pain meds. Oh how she hated those. Better to grit it out than dull the senses. Thankfully the stuff she'd been given wore off quickly. Fog dissipating, Nika licked her lips and cast her wary gaze about for another human.
