Snippet #2045894

Felix's mind wandered as he listened to the sounds of the castle. His enhanced hearing gave him that ability, and for the most part it ended up hurting him. So when Emerson yelled at him, the young man flinched visibly before glaring at him. "You don't have to shout. I can hear just fine." He then got up, looking completely healed, eyebrows included, before walking over to his bed. Granted, there was a slight limp, but he healed faster than most. Once he sat down, the young man's gaze swept over to Emerson before continuing.

"As for food, I can smell a salad for sure. There's also fresh chicken noodle soup, with carrots and celery." Felix concluded as he watched the matron bring out exactly that. She leveled a glare at him for being up, but the young man just stared back until she relented and brought both their things of food over to them. He ate in silence, preferring to listen to what Emerson had to say before his gaze casually swept over to the entrance. "I can imagine that Summer is going to beat these doors down before long to figure out if I'm ok." He said with a small smile. He knew that it was no secret to the other Cervus that Summer truly cared for Felix as a brother, and the young man was sure that he'd be getting a stern talking to later from her for sure.

He chuckled a little after that before the matron came in, demanding that the two newcomers leave. Setting his bowl of soup down, Felix put himself squarely in her way. "Now you listen here ma'am. The two of us are hardly taking much room at all. That in itself nullifies your argument. However, Emerson and I are enjoying some small talk, and good company helps heal wounds, since you aren't as easily stressed. So, just turn around, and leave us in peace." Felix watched with inward amusement as the woman just stared before huffing and turning around to go back to her office.
