Kitty-River, shortly after the return from Civil War plot.

There's a gurney pushed up against the side wall of the infirmary. The only thing on it right now is sterile bedding, white and crisp.

And, underneath, a huddled form.

River's been here for an hour. Kitty's asleep.

River's not moving, except to breathe.

Kitty's asleep.

For a while.

Eventually, she's not, and she opens her eyes and studies the ceiling for a bit before moving at all.

It's a few minutes before she spots River.

It's a few more minutes before she says anything, and when she does it's just, "Hey, kiddo," a little groggily and mostly tiredly.

(Kitty really wants out of the infirmary already.)
