Dr. Brennan nodded.

[color=9e005d]"Certainly. I'll let you get back to your work out. But please- do reconsider my offer."[/color] 

She turned and walked down the hallway, flashing a final smile at Sasha as she left. Dr. Brennan wanted him to survive what she had planned for him. It was a distorted sort of concern, but concern nonetheless. She had marked him as hers and she was going to be sure what was hers knew that it was.

Nancy lifted her arm and looked at Josh.

[color=Brown]"Hi Josh. Yeah, I kind of figured. It wouldn't have happened if I had kept my mouth shut. I hope Dr. Greene doesn't get on my case."[/color] Her back was starting to feel better. The muscles were mostly relaxed, and the dizziness that always accompanied the pain pills had subsided for the most part. Maybe it was time she got up.

Slowly, she rolled onto her side and propped herself up on her elbow, testing how her muscles felt. They felt... well, not great, but ok.

She finished sitting up. [color=Brown]"If words already spreading around, I guess I'm in some hot water, huh? Could you help me off the bed?"[/color] She held her hands out to Josh with her question. [color=Brown]"Standing up after these pills can sometimes lead to fights with gravity."[/color]
