Visitation

The sheriff had brought her the news personally.

Found dead in his holding cell...no inquiry...statements...case closed.

She breathed in as deeply as she comfortably could, and let it out. Relaxing fully against her pillows in the hospital.

Safe. From him at least. And they still won't tell me his name.

Not her problem anymore.

The bruises stood out in sharp contrast against her skin, and all her movement was stiff, ginger. Barring an infection, she would be released in another two days.

She had finished the book Angel sent. She had terrorized the orderlies with the toy Naraht so thoughtfully provided.

She was bored.

She chuckles, shaking her head. "I find it that way and I was born to this world. Don't feel bad."

Elrond nods, his eyes showing the care his face does not. He looks at her and the heart of him lurches.

"I... this place is an amazing one. Perhaps another time, when things are calmer, we can return?"

He glances up at Celebrian not sure if she would wish it, but curious anyway.

"It is a most fascinating place, and I believe we would enjoy learning more of it, dear one."

"Sounds good to me. Let me get settled in a new apartment and all, first, but I'd be glad to bring you both back."

Elrond nods with a small smile.

"Indeed. Simply let us know when. Meanwhile, you must concentrate on becoming better."

he glances around again.

"How long are you here?"

"Too long," she says grumpily, startling musical laughter from Celebrian.

"I'll be released by the middle of this week, I think, so long as there are no complications. I'll have to come back in a month for some testing but..."

Elrond nods, his own smile slightly larger.

"I am not fond of being laid up either, as my lady wife can attest to. Hopefully it will go smoothly and quickly."

He fills his eyes with her, seeing her plains and her health at the same time.

"When Grissom's sick or injured, the rest of us hide," she says a bit louder, earning an indignant retort from outside the room.

Elrond's smile is slightly larger and he nods.

"Have you ought to read or do while you are here?"

"My friend Angel sent a book and I've also a dart gun with which to torment the orderlies. Other than that, no."

He pulls out a small book of Middle Earth tales and lore. Magfius translated it for him. He hands it over.

"This might help pass some of the time as well."

"Thank you!" There is no mistaking her appreciation.

He not!smiles and glances at Celebrian. that hand on hers tightens slightly and then he looks back at Sara.

"I am glad you are getting better. And Seeing you... brings the joy of the seasons back to me."

She smiles, inclining her head. "And believe me--I'm glad to have some of my family here. I only wish my brothers could have come as well but that's...complicated."

One of his eyesbrows rises.

"Ah. Family and travel between the worlds does seem so."

"No, it's not that. They're from this Earth and my time. But...by this time, my brother Murphy is dead. Connor's whereabouts are unknown here, and he is bound to the bar right now."

An ironic chuckle. "Like I said--complicated."

Elrond nods, his eyes somewhat wide.

"Ah.... yes. "

he blinks a bit.

"I think such things are more your desmesnes or that of the Good doctor McCoy. he also wanted me to pass on his good wishes as well as this from him and Billy."

he hands over a small Easter basket with chocolate and jelly beans and a bunny and a small stuffed bunny too.

"If I eat this now, my doctor will pitch a fit. But thank them for me."

Elrond nods.

"I will."

He smiles softly at her.

"I am not sure if we will be able to visit again before you leave, but if not, know you are in our thoughts."

"I know, Ada. And thank you, both of you for coming." She squeezes their hands gently.

He gently squeexes her hand and nods.

"I suppose we should let you heal..."

He looks at her closely.

"I respect your work, daughter, and know that what you did, you did to stop another worse fate. My pride in you only grows."

She can't speak after that. She can only give both of them ginger hugs and wordlessly promise to return.
