The room is fairly nice, all things considered. There are several chairs, a porta-cot set up discreetly against one wall for visitors that for one reason or another are reluctant to leave, and it's clear that whoever designed this particular private room in the first place intended to make it seem as warm and welcoming as possible.

Of course, given that it's a hospital, there's really only so much that can be done.

Currently, the hospital bed is tilted upwards at an angle, with the evident intention of making the patient comfortable. It seems to be working, at least a little, because Gabriel Tam is asleep.

"He may be tired, Mary."

Galadan's gaze slides sideways, studying Gabriel.

"And if that is the case, perhaps it's time we go."

Mary hangs forward a little, still.

It's fairly clear that she doesn't want to leave. But he does look worse (though she doesn't see why he couldn't sleep with her there; she does know how to be quiet, when it's necessary, though she may not demonstrate it often), and it's not her world, or even Milliways . . .

She shoots Galadan a plaintive, 'do we have to?' sort of look, even as she takes a step backwards.

"Mary."

Galadan's voice is quiet.

"I'll bring you back here as soon as may be."

It may be one day, it may be two--but no more than that.

Surely.

It takes another long few moments before Mary finally transfers her hand from Gabriel's to Galadan's.

And once she does, she holds on almost painfully tight, as if to make up for it.

Galadan does not flinch at all, merely keeps a firm grip on Mary as, with a slight nod to Gabriel, he heads for the door.

Wolflord and girl both blur briefly into shadows before they vanish.

It is almost as if they had never been there at all.
