Exploring the Damage

[Sage]

Sage sighed. "Observation."
He rolled his eyes and looked at Christian who was staring defiantly at him. He was bound and determined to keep him healthy. He was grateful for the annoyance, it at least meant he was cared for. More than he could say about his parents.

"I will stay here for three days."
Christian was about to object but Sage held up his finger to forestall him. "To heal from the exploratory surgery I just went through. After that if our good Doctor here says I'm healthy enough to go home, I will do so. More than a week and I might start getting too anxious."
Sage cautioned.

He smiled at Christian. "After I'm released I'll come with Cruz to the University and check in with you or a colleague doctor - this so called observation - a minimum of every other day, though I'm sure you'd rather it be everyday, and if Cruz has classes I'll do that."


Sage looked back from the doctor to Christian. "Is this amendable to the two of you. We'll do this until my next surgery which will happen once Dr. Marcil has working replacements to replace the faulty ones."


Sage wasn't used to having to please so many people, but he figured it was better to make the doctor happy now, or he might not have her on his side when it mattered most - like when his life was on the line.
