Sara finally let her mind slip to something other than her own emotions at the tone of Luke’s voice. She bit her lower lip for a moment.

"Mopy? I assure you Sara, I have never had a mopy moment in my life!"

“Bull…” Sara said She let herself laugh and take a bite of the food.

"I've had moments of sadness... self-reflection... perhaps even a divine melancholy but I have never been mopy!"

“Right.” Sara shook her head and went for another scoop with the spoon. Here she was feeling like crap. Her own sight was either still healing or it wasn’t coming back and the idea of that loss was like loosing a friend, Sara had known for longer than she had actually known anyone. Was it wrong to admit that having a joke felt good?

“I suppose my fist coming your way, will be a surprise to you then.” Sara mocked back. She finished her first bowl of mac’n cheese. With out thinking she followed the direction the bowl had come from and set it down on the table, with the pan.

“So I guess I’ll have more of a reason to wear ear plug around you.” Sara tried to mock back to Luke. She was still not completely feelin’ it.

Luke chuckled quietly, momentarily enjoying the friendly banter back and forth as he continued to eat his mac 'n cheese. Sara was hurting because of his blindness but she wasn't letting that control her or completely knock her out of the game. That force of will was what she would need to survive over the next few months if her sight didn't come back and it was good to see that Sara was still Sara.

"More reason to wear ear plugs?" Luke said in mock horror, a smile tugging at the corner of his lips, "Don't you know how often they carry infection or disease into the inner ear canal? No, if you need to block out noise then invest in a nice pair of ear muffs. Those will be far better."

Finishing the last of his food Luke set his own bowl down beside Sara's bowl. He wasn't going to offer to get her more food unless she asked. The feline was used to being self-reliant and he would give her the opportunity to remain that way until she decided she needed help.

"So, I'm going to have to go through some danger room simulations to work on my new ability. Apparently my sonic attack is currently attached to my emotions so I need someone that can take me through a whole range while I try to figure out how to work it. Know anyone that might be able to help me?"

It was partly a request for help and partly a challenge. Sara would have been willing to help while she could still see but the real question was whether she would be brave enough to try without her sight. It was her choice and there was no pressure but somehow Luke knew that a challenge was the perfect way to get her out of this infirmary room.

“Ear muffs?” Sara shook her heads. The images of herself with ear muffs popped in her mind and how ridiculous that would be. Then the smile melted slightly. An image… at least she could still see things from her memories, but that sort of hurt.

Sara swallowed and leaned back against the pillow. “I can just see myself with earmuffs, Luke” Sara tried to keep the game going because weather she was supposed to joke or not, in this condition, she decided it felt better. “Can you imagine me with ear muffs even in the summer? My ears would sweat. You can’t tell me sweaty ears would be any better for my health.”

Sara shifted on the cot so that she was on her side leaning on an elbow. Fluffing her pillow before she tried to settle back down into the sheets. Her tail dangled over the side, coiling back and forth now and then. Sara listened to Luke’s proposal.

“I still don’t understand why you people rave about this dangerous room. Or why you keep a dangerous room n a school.” No one had ever quite explained to Sara about the danger room but she heard people rave about it. What was the big deal about a room?

“So in other words you want the help of someone who can really piss you off.” Sara finally leaned her head against the pillow as she spoke. “I think I can do that.”

Sara didn’t exactly know what to think here. Did Luke intend to be presenting her with this challenge now? Because that’s what this was going to be. And since it was a challenge, Sara of course couldn’t say it didn’t peek her interest. To be honest, Sara didn’t think she could actually help.

Luke was smiling slightly as he listened to Sara rant just a little about the danger room. Obviously she'd never been shown the room before so perhaps he would get the honor of being the first to introduce her to the joys of the danger room.

"Well hopefully you can do more than just tick me off but yeah, you've got the gist of what I need." Luke nodded with appreciation that his friend had caught on so quickly, "And it's the danger room, not the dangerous room. Basically it's a big room that emits holograms so it can mimic any terrain or any environment. Plus the holograms feel real so you can practice combat against various enemies that you program in."

Luke had spent a decent amount of time in there fighting various enemies... even a large cat like creature that ever so slightly resembled Sara. "I better delete that before I take Sara to the danger room otherwise she'd probably rip me a new one!"

Sara’s body felt like it was melting into the infirmary bed. The entire day before, was finally catching up to her. She didn’t know if she really could sleep, but she knew she was tired.

“The room still sounds Dangerous.” Sara commented. Though the play was still in her voice. Mixed with the clear tiredness that was setting in. “I suppose I have a few things I need to relearn while I wait to see if my sight comes back.”

Sara ran her fingers through her hair. She had to make her way back to the empty house, she’d left her belongings at, sometime. Weather that was with the Doc’s permission ot not was still to be seen. For now, Sara was content to let herself stay where it should be safe and rest.

Once Sara woke up again, Sara was going to go crazy if she had to sit still and her sight wasn’t back. Waiting wasn’t Sara’s strong point. “If you have the day free you can show me the danger room tomorrow, or I guess that would be tonight if it is the time I think it is. If I’m not hear, call my cell.” Doc. Prof probably wouldn’t be happy with Sara wanting to get active again, but he had to understand how unrestful over resting can be.

Luke chuckled softly as Sara's comment about the current time. He wasn't sure himself but since he had remained consciosu the whole time it was a pretty good guess that it was pushing 4-5 a.m. "You get some sleep and I'll check on you tonight then. Since we're both night owls most of the time that should work while also meaning that we should be left alone since most everyone else will be in bed."

Rising to his feet, Luke tried to make up his mind on what he should do. He could always get a cab and travel all the way back to his apartment but Raina had set up a room in the dorms for him... maybe he'd go catch a few hours of shuteye there. That would probably be the best choice.

"I'll talk to you later Sara. Sleep well." Luke said with a smile as he gathered up the bowls and mac 'n cheese pan. There were still plenty of leftovers and Luke just knew that once someone saw this in the fridge it would dissapear rather quickly. Turning away Luke made his way out of the room into the hall.

"Clean up and then sleep... that sounds good."

“You too, Luke.” Sara’s ear twitched as she listened to Luke stand and move around. There was the clink of the dishes, and Sara regretted not taking more, but her stomach was having trouble handling what she had taken. She couldn’t tell if that was still because of her nerves, that still felt tender, or because of the ordeal she had just gone through.

“Thank you.” Sara said to Luke’s back as he disappeared out of the infirmary. Sara let herself melt back into the pillow, and closed her almost completely golden eyes. Sara pulled her knees up to her body, as she tried to fall asleep.
