Atem was caught off guard when Roxy was on him. He tensed up and looked uncomfy when she started licking him. While he tolerated most animals a great deal, he wasn't used to that type of affection with his face being slobbered on.But then again, he wasn't particularly affectionate to begin with. He sat up with a groan, thinking how he would have to disinfect his face before going to sleep. He saw Angela with the tray of tea and managed a weak smile at her for having saving ing him from Roxy. "Thank you, Angela."

"I'm sorry about Roxy," She apologized. "She's a therapy animal, but when she's off duty she's like a big puppy." She had Roxy sit down and poured the tea. "I hope you like this, Atem. It's a cherry green tea blend." She handed him a mug after putting some honey in it. "Here, the honey will help you vocal cords. You sound a bit scratchy." Angela petted Roxy on the back before pouring her own mug of tea. "I made the cookies from scratch yesterday morning. They're the best fresh." She held out the plate. "Here try one."

Atem gave her a reassuring look when she apologized for Roxy. "No need. She gave me a bit of a fright, but it's fine." He could feel his voice becoming hoarse so he was too happy to have the tea. 'Mmmm. Cherry green tea. Interesting.' "Thank you," he said, taking the mug and resting it. He wasn't gonna take any chances just in case it was still steaming hot. He smiled his thanks when she offered him the cookies. He reached for one and nibbled on it, giving an approved, "Mmmm " sound.

"I take it you like it?" She asked, smiling when he nodded. "That make me happy!" Angela sipped her tea, and giggled out loud when Roxy put her head on Atem's knee...wagging her tail while hoping for a treat. "Roxy, no begging. Help yourself to another cookie Atem, I've got lots. By the way...where are you staying?"

(he's wearing the boxers, not the sweatpants and remember godmoding/powerplaying is against the rules)
Atem flinched a little with Roxy resting her head on his knee. He scooted away from her a little so it wouldn't be so easy for her to be overly affectionate. He rolled up the sleeves for the sweatshirt a bit "Very kind of you, but no thank you. " He frowned in thought when she was asking him where he was staying, embarrassed to admit the truth. However, he didn't want to lie to her. "I am not staying anywhere in particular. But I am considering going back to Egypt."

(Oops...didn't know I did that. ^^; Thanks for pointing that out. I forgot he was wearing the boxers...I'll fix that. )
Angela tapped her finger on her mug. "Hmm...I see. Well if you like, you can stay here for a while. But you'll have to work for room and board. Of course it's up to you."

(not a problem.)
Atem was about to object because he really didn't want to impose on her, but it was the only way he could have a bit of a low profile. 'No Atem, this is no time for you to let your pride get the best of you. ' Her condition was also too great to pass up. If he really intended to go to Egypt, he would need money as well. "I accept your offer and not to worry, I will do all it takes. I won't be a burden to you."

Angela smiled. "Very well. You can use this room to stay in-Oh! What kind of work do you like to do?" Angela asked. "If you don't like house work...we could find something. And I'll give some money for some clothes tomorrow. There's a few shops near here you could look at."

Atem didn't find the thought of doing housework for a living very appealing..he was all right with just cleaning as a necessity but not a job. Then his mind wandered to the Ishtas and how they would react to his return. Thinking of the Ishtars gave him an idea. "I am considering the Domino Museum. An old friend of mine from Egypt once worked there. " When it came to the money, he didn't want to accept it like that, but he had no choice. "Thank you. I am in desperate need of a wardrobe of my own, but I will pay you back whenever I can."

Angela waved a hand in dismissal. "Don't worry about that. Anyway, I'll let you retire and sleep. You'll need all the energy you can get for tomorrow." She stood up with the tray in one hand and ushered Roxy out. "I'll be gone when you wake up, so I'll leave some food out for you. And don't worry...Roxy will be with me as it's her work day tomorrow." She turned to Atem. " Hope you have a good rest, Atem. Good night."

Atem just nodded, but he wasn't one of those people who had to sleep for as long as a little child did or else he was grumpy. If anything, he was a work-a-holic. Just 5-6 hours, if even that and he was good to go. However, he had a feeling Angela would not approve if he admitted to that, so he didn't. "Yes, good night. You have a wonderful rest, too. Once again, thank you. Before I forget, I would like to apologize if I seemed less than friendly at first glance."

The golden eyed woman smiled again. "It's alright, you were having a rough time and didn't trust me. I understand where you were coming from. And please don't hesitate if you ever need something." Angela waved good-night to Atem and closed the door. ~*~ As Angela changed into her scrubs with pink heart print, her mind was on Atem. He seemed to carry himself with a regal posture like a prince or king even. "Maybe he has royal blood in his veins?" She thought. Angela saw Roxy about to leave the room, and grabbed the dog by the collar. "Oh no you don't, Roxy. We're going to work...I know you like Atem but give him some space." She clipped on Roxy's harness, and the dog settled down. Once Angela put some food put for Atem to eat when he woke up and some money for clothes, Angela and Roxy left the house and headed to the clinic. The sunrise was beautiful and the way it shone over the Emerald Isle Clinic made Angela smile. Once she parked and clocked in, Angela took Roxy to the children who were just waking up; some had treatment early in the morning. the kids lit up when they saw them and began to hug them both. "I have a few patients to see too, so I'll be back for Recess and Storytime. Ok?" "'Kay, Angela."-"Bye"-See you soon!" "I love my job." Angela thought as she walked down the hall. As she was picking up the flies for today's assignments, she saw Yugi enter the building. "Mr. Motou? You're here early." "I came to see Tea." He answered, holding out his get well gift. "Oh, well she's still sleeping. But you can see her in about twenty minutes; that's when visiting hours begin. Just wait here in the meantime." |

Atem couldn't help smiling as he watched her leave. He was moved by how kind and forgiving he was. 'She has objected, but I must repay her somehow. I cannot let such kind deeds go unrewarded.' He remembered he had put his tea to cool. He reached for the mug of tea and drank it. By then it was lukewarm, but it was all right, for the honey still did will to soothe the soreness in his throat. He got up and headed into the bathroom to finish prepare for bed as well as get rid of the germs that was on him thanks to Roxy. The way she behaved was so appalling. Even Chris' pet wolf Skye didn't make him feel so ill-at-ease. Once finishing his tasks in the bathroom, he crawled beneath the covers, slowly drifting off to sleep.
~~~~~~~~~
Yugi hid his disappointed at having to wait to see Tèa. After all, Angela was just doing her job. "All right." He sat down and picked up a magazine to read while he waited.

Yugi thumbed through the magazine without looking at the pages. His thought were on Tea...and Atem. He was still reeling from the fact that the pharaoh was back...and that he left the way he did. "I treated him badly...I should apologize. When I find him."
"Sir?"
Yugi looked up at the receptionist.
"You may go see her now. Ms. Garder is in room 301."
"Thank you." Yugi said, picking up his gift and heading to Tea's room.

Tèa was lying down in her hospital bed,sleeping lightly. She looked like such an angel. After awhile, she grew restless, thrashing around under the covers. She began to whimper and she yelled, "Atem, nooooooooooooooooooo, don't leave me! I love you!" in her sleep. She sat up with a start, only to see Yugi. "Oh, hey Yugi. How long have you been here?" She managed a tiny smile. Her voice still was a bit hoarse. She put on a mask over her nose and mouth, coughing a bit just as she got it on.
