Korlian hadn't gotten much sleep the night before. First, of course, had been his stomach. But then certain events had led to all sorts of scrapes and bruises and he STILL hadn't gotten his snack so... sleep had sort of been forgotten in favor of trying to ignore what was really minor pain (but somehow wasn't) and a growling stomach.
It really was time to talk to the cook about hiding snacks in his room or something so he didn't have to sneak around. But that was neither here nor there. Korlian had had breakfast, so at least his stomach was content, but that meant it was time to deal with all the bumps he'd gotten in the night.
Bumps in the night... ha, I used to actually be the explanation for that... he thought to himself as he peeked into the sickbay. "Miss Ellie?"

Ellie, sitting at her desk, raised her head up from her hands. She gave Korlian a tired smile.
"Good morning, sweetie," she said, her voice still a little rough from the night before. "I see you've come to take care of those." she indicated Korlian's scratches with a nod.

He nodded, looking at her in concern. "Are you okay though?" he asked softly. His eyes narrowed slightly as he looked quickly in the direction of the forest with an icy gaze. "I know what they can do to a person," he hissed coldly.
Then he rubbed at one of the scratches. "But these hurt and they kept me up all night..." he said, trying not to whine and failing somewhat.

"I'm getting along," Ellie, said, glancing in the direction he was looking and seeing the forest through the window. She supposed Korlian was talking about the Fae-- it was no longer a secret as to who had taken Ellie away from Dunehelden back before Halloween, but Ellie had spoken to no one about the details of her containment, or about the fact that her nightmare had been about that containment.
Oh well. Korlian was intelligent-- he had probably assumed. Ellie stood and walked around her desk, extending her hand to the boy. "Come and sit," she instructed, her voice softening. "I'll take care of those."
She spent a few moments in silence fixing the wounds, getting to the ones on the boy's face before saying, "I haven't gotten to thank you yet, Korlian."

Korlian hopped onto a cot as she reached out to him, his legs swinging slightly over the edge of the small bed. "Anyone else would have done it too. We all like you too much. I mean, we need you too, but we still like you more. After all, it's not like I get hurt often," he grinned.
He let his voice drop. "I heard you calling for someone... Sleepwalkers don't usually talk like they're scared. At first I was just curious, which is why you even got outside... I am sorry to say I opened the door for you. But then you were going to the forest and I couldn't let you go there. We need you here. Aramis and his roommate need you, and the English professor. And others too. And Professor Harrows."
He nodded wisely, but ruined the action with a childish grin. "Besides, any chance I can get to rub their noses in the fact that I can STILL stop them is a chance I just have to take. Especially the Unseelie. I don't like them. Except Lhachlhass. He's special."
