She retrieved a pain potion and handed it to him, "Drink this, love."
For a moment, she gave him another considering glance, before she continued on, "You've got quite a rescue team out in the waiting room. They all want to come in and see you."
Jimmy took the potion gladly and gave the nurse a brief,but genuinely thankful smile.
He sipped it tentatively, made a face, then downed the whole thing.
"I do?"
Stare.
... "Like who?"
It didn't occur to him to guess, he just simply wasn't used to counting on anyone to be there for him, even when he needed it.
