Sev and I have gone to visit the invalid, although I don't believe said invalid knew Sev was there. Actually, Elessar had friends visiting, and they were having a pretty good time, so I'm not sure he really knew I was there, either. Which is perfectly all right with me: I'd rather he enjoy his enforced bedrest as much as possible.

He was still in pain, of course, and suffering from the constant exhaustion and lethargy to be expected from slow healing and painkillers. But he is healing, and should start physical therapy within the next week or so. I got to see a sketch of the broken bones that the doctor had drawn. Remarkably, his growth plate had fused just days before the break, so he avoided some rather serious, long-lasting ramifications. And the injury isn't expected to keep him from getting into West Point...it'll just ruin most of his summer. Yay.

At long last, Sev and I feel we can actually enjoy what's left of the Week of the Killer Quizzes. So we've got fruity drinks with little umbrellas, sunny sky, and parchment airplanes.
