2019-10-27 - Mending

Ryan has been sick, but at this point probably recovered. But still taking a few days of resting at the room. Humming as he is watching TV. Playing on his phone at the same time. For the time being alone in the roon, unless Shauna is hiding somewhere. Either way, no other visitors currently.

Shauna comes in looking a little tired, a hoodie over what she left the house wearing. Which is a pair of loose cotton pants and a short sleeved shirt over her sports bra. Once in, she closes the door behind herself and walks over to flop on the couch.

Ryan does look to Shauna. "Hey, where have you been?" He asks as he looks over. Studying her some. Perhaps noticing the tired look as he raise his brow. Moving to get water. Offering a bottle to her as well. Getting a better look at her.

"Fighting." At least Shauna is honest with him. She tugs off her hoodie and tosses it over the end of the sofa. Accepting t0he water, she opens it and takes a drink. "Thanks. How you feeling?"

Ryan frowns, "Why?" He asks, maybe sounding a bit angry. Eyes do look over her, perhaps looking for injuries. "I am feeling better. Thanks." Taking a seat next to her if she allows it.

Oh Shauna has bruises, of course she does with bare fists. Chin, arms, ribs? Could be anywhere. She doesn't say why, just shrugs. "Good, you looked like hell for awhile there."

Ryan does seem upset, disappearing to the bathroom. Though return with some wet towels. "Dammit, Shauna." Sighing though making her sit still. Helping to clean her brises, and any cuts. "Why do you have to run around doing stupid things?" He asks. Though his words and tone doesn't quite mesh with his actions, trying to actually care for her. "Yeah, felt like hell as well. I'm surprised that you managed to avoid it."

Shauna doesn't really look contrite or anything, but she doesn't stop him from tending to her bruises and cuts. Especially her knuckles. "I had it, I just fought through it, didn't let it keep me home doing nothing. Besides men are babies when they are sick."

Ryan chuckles. "Right." He offers to her. Taking care of the knuckles. "Am I going to have to put you on a leash?" He asks and looks at her a bit stern. Once the visible wounds are cleaned he will gesture for her to take of the shirt. "Dammit, did you run into a wall? Kunckles first."

"Something like that. A sturdy wall." Shauna attempts a smile, not exactly amazing at those. Lifting her shirt, she removes it, wearing her sports bra. She's got a pretty big bruise on her abdomen, right there on her ribs. "You could try putting me on a leash. Once."

Ryan does work on her ribs. Making her lean down some so he can help out. "Oh? Why only once? Going to run away again?" He asks her, looking to her a bit with a raised brow. "Shauna. Please take care of yourself." He tells her, the angry voice from earlier sounding more sad now than angry.

"I'll beat you up if you try and put a leash on me." Shauna gives a half smile that turns out looking more like a smirk. "I don't have any plans on running away again unless Jackson shows back up. I'm not up to dealing with Jax right now." As it is she pushes her limits as far as she can. "I'm not meaning to hurt myself or anything, I don't have a suicide wish or nothin'." Not that she'd say anyway. Even to herself.

Ryan nods, as for Jax he nods again. "I won't let him." He assures her. Touching her cheek. "Good, because I care about you. You're still my baby sis." He tells her. Sighing and shaking his head. A kiss to her forehead. "So, how come the fighting?" Not having heard the reason. "Have you gotten to meet some of the neighbors?" Asked then.

"I won't let him either." Shauna says with strength in her tone. She leans back against the sofa gingerly and closes her eyes. "One of our neighbors is the arresting cop from when I went to jail. And why fight?" She opens her eyes a moment. "Why not? To keep in practice mostly."

Ryan nods some at her words. "Fine. Just. Make sure to come here after." Sighing, "Got hurt anywhere else?" He asks. Checking her legs some. "Oh, know anything about the Platinum Cabaret? I was supposed to go there for the masquarade. Roxy invited me."

Shauna scowls. "It's a strip club. There are other parties." Closing her eyes again, she shakes her head. "Nothing else is hurt. And why come here if you're not going to be home? You know the first place he'll look is the hotels. Why don't we rent a place? A house or something we can get security on/"

Ryan raises a brow, "Yeah, so I heard. But I got curious on her dancing. She said that she does artsy stuff." Shrugging. Curious to her reaction though. "If you want me to stay around I can do that?" He offers. As for getting a place, he nods. "Sure. Let us do that. Either that or if you want to go home with me." Not wanting to leave his sister alone it seems. "So, you got a place in mind? I can pay for whichever you want."

"Oh no I don't mind you going, just have fun. You deserve to get out and have fun. See the town and make new friends. I'll consider going back with you though. Eventually. I tell ya what, if he comes and we have to run, I'll go home with you. Deal?" Shauna does pause to consider things though. "I guess for now on Oak street. I like it there."

Ryan smiles and nods. "Sounds good." Kissing her forehead. "Okay, Oak it is. I love you sis, you know that." He tells her, in gaelic, and actually smile for once.

Shauna opens her eyes at the kiss and smiles a little, this one as close to real as it gets. "Love you too, Ryan." Telling it right back to him in heir native language. "The sooner the better, on that house thing."

Ryan is happy for what he can get. At least close to seeing his sis again. "Go sleep on the bed." He tells her. "It's better for your back." If she seem too lazy to move he will pick her up and move her himself. "By the way. On the first night, you weren't mean and put something in my water, right?"

Shauna opens her eye, "I think you already asked me that once and no, I'd never give someone something against their will." Her jaw sets. "You should know that.. especially since Jax.." she sighs. "Nevermind. No, I didn't." She gets to her feet finally and goes to the bed and just falls into it, almost out before she hits her face on the pillow.
