The Hospital

[rainbowmods]

The hospital is sterile and sprawling, its hallways and patient rooms painted a glaring white. The floor is made of something hard and shining, and the lights are that peculiar kind of flourescent that makes everyone look ill.

The first floor consists of the lobby (painted a sickly green), an emergency room, and several surgery suites, all stocked with cutting-edge, even futuristic, technology and supplies. There is a cafeteria, though the buffet line is empty; the only consumables seem to be stocked in a line of vending machines along one wall. There are no stairs, only elevators, to the upper floors, which all consist of patient rooms: made beds, glazed windows, dying flowers, and the hard plastic orange chairs that are a constant in hospitals.

The whole building smells like antiseptic and death.

Sorell blinked. He didn't know of any country outside of Glass that allowed for multiple acknowledged partners like that, but she was far too fair to be from Glass.

And, again, he was far into the future. "I suppose things have changed a great deal, between now and where I'm from. Or when."

"Where, I would assume," Summer said, "since I've never heard of Feredar. But do you never give your children to their aunts and uncles for a while? I suppose my family is closer than most." Zack and his siblings because of their father, and she and Felipe to theirs because... well, they just were.

"My brothers are dead," Sorell said quietly. "Nida's sister Rema does help sometimes, but not often." Best not to mention Lena, and her treason.

"Oh, I'm so sorry." Summer thought of her own brothers, and her sister. "I... I can't imagine losing any of my siblings."

"Thank you," he said, automatically. "It was...many years ago. I was my parents' youngest son, you see." He wouldn't be King if they were still alive.
