ooc: Open to whoever.
He didn't remember walking down the hall, or even further back than that, making the decision to go to the Hospital Wing. The Ravenclaw rubbed his temple, eyes screwed shut. For a beat he had to stop completely, but then when the pain ebbed he could walk again.
Today Gabriel looked like he'd forgotten himself. His hair was a bit of a mess, and he looked more tired than usual. But then, no one would really notice that - he hadn't been here very long. There was a slightly noticeable five o clock shadow under his silver eyes. He walked with hunched shoulders, as if carrying a burden. Now and again he'd straighten up, but then slouch again, glancing around as if looking for a spy.
Damn it all.
Finally, he stopped outside the Hospital Wing, rapping his knuckles against the door frame. Damn headaches. He grew sick of them. At least he wasn't blacking out - that had happened before.
"Hello?" Hell, were there even nurses on duty at this hour? He tried to keep his swearing to an under the breath tone, barely noticeable. Gabriel had never been good at healing spells, not for himself or anyone else. Oh well. If there was no one there ... he could take a nap maybe. Or something.

A young girl, about the age of... maybe 14... walked down the hall, past the hospital wing. It was obvious why she was here. She was going to become a nurse. She couldn't exactly train to be a nurse without talking to one occasionally. She pulled at her hair, as she went down the hall, wondering if this mess near the end of her hair was what people called "split ends."
She noticed the boy sitting outside the nurse's office, and asked him, "Are you here to see the nurse, as well?" and without even waiting for him to answer, "Maybe I can help. I'm a nurse-in-training. I mean, if it's something simple..."
She paused for a moment, then added, "Right. Oh, and by the way, my name is Mayu."

At some point he had sat down, knuckles white against the skin, hands clasped on the arms of the chair. Pain seared from side to side of his head. He said swearwords he hadn't even known he had. A voice, vaguely, sort of faded into the background.
Gabriel's gaze snapped up. A voice meant a person, someone was here. Maybe help. Maybe a nurse. He sat up, eyes flashing. Oh. She looked barely his own age, if she was even that. She certainly couldn't be a nurse ... could she?
What strange eyes. Bright. She was funny looking girl, as it were. He tapped the side of his head in emphasis, lips pressed into a thin line. After a few moments of tapping his head he remembered why he was making such a motion and tried to summon the words.
"My head." As if it couldn't possibly be obvious at this point. "I've got a headache. Searing. Across my forehead."
After a long moment, in which he rocked back and forth a bit unconsciously, he said, "I think I might be dying. Or something."
The Ravenclaw drew a sharp breath and relaxed. Oh hell. Who even cared anymore.

Mayu smiled at him, "A headache? I would hardly say you would die from that. That would be silly. I can think of a few things you could die from, but a headache isn't one of them."
She giggled a bit, and then continued, raising her hand to the boy. Her left hand, the one she raised, was covered in black markings, all over the palm. She continued, "If it's just a headache, then I can easily fix it. That's basic. I learned that staying up all night reading books. I also know a good charm to keep you awake! Oh, but I digress..."
She pointed her opened, empty palm at him, and explained, "This should do the trick."
"Ha! He'll be better than before if you use THAT charm! C'mon!" Yuma egged on, "He'll thank you later!"
"That's a good point," with her wand already pointed at him, she cast her charm. His head would feel wonderful after this...

Gabriel listened to her ramble. It bothered him that she was pointing her wand at his face. After all, she was just a student - a very odd student. Staying up all night. How odd. At least she seemed dedicated to her cause, Gabriel wasn't sure where that was a good or a bad thing. As he stared at her he realized something was missing.
The pain.
He blinked rapidly a few times, straightening up. "Thank you. Much better." Of course it would be back, it always came back, but at least he could breath for a bit. Her hand looked funny. He narrowed his eyes, reaching out to push the wand away, thinking about taking her wrist.
"What's that on your hand?" Genuine curiosity. Maybe a little bit of suspicion, although he didn't really have a real reason to be suspicious ... who knew. Gabriel chewed his lip, watching her, curious. "Just some kind of tattoo?"
For some reason he doubted that, but maybe he was just being silly. Crazy.
Mad is mad, crazy is crazy .... Gabriel drew a sharp breath, let it out, and stared into space.

OOC: She just THINKS she has a wand. For the sake of keeping her delusions in the post, written from a third party watching through her eyes, I write delusions in italics...
IC: "Is something still the matter? You still seem to be in pain. I should have fixed the headache..." Mayu was confused. He didn't seem to be getting better. Maybe is was really bad. Maybe it was terminal!
"Oh, no! He must be in so much pain! Do something! Do something!!" Yuma screamed, in a panic.
"You're right! I have to do something about it," Mayu said, raising her hands to his throat, "It'll be over soon, you don't need to worry anymore..."

ooc: Noted I will edit that later.
bic:
The hair on the back of his neck stood up. What ... ? Her words gave him the creeps, and then ...
Gabriel did two things simultaneously. One hand came up to grab the wrist of her left hand just before she attempted to strangle him, her fingers scraping against his neck. The other plunged into his cloak, fingers wrapping around the twine bound handle of a knife. He jerked it out, jabbing it in the direction of Mayu's stomach and stopping the point just a bit away.
"Get away from me."
The pain pulsed. He curled his upper lip, making something between a snarl and a grin, teeth clenched together. The Ravenclaw sneered at her. "I don't plan to go like that."
He didn't plan to go at all, but did it matter?
"I appreciate it," he muttered. "But I can handle it. Its just a headache. I'm fine."
Nevermind he'd confessed he thought he was dying just a moment ago.

Mayu couldn't avoid the blow. She hadn't expected someone she was helping to treat her so rudely. Even through her shock, though, she moved just enough that when the knife pierced into her flesh, it wasn't someplace that would kill her. A confused look went across her face as she added,
"That was rude! I'm trying to help you!" She pulled her arm away from the boy, and moved back a bit.
She touched her side with her wand, using her right hand, and mumbled something that she couldn't remember, and her knife wound began to close on its own.

Gabriel hadn't meant to actually hit her, he even seemed mildly surprised about the whole thing. The blood scent came sharp. He blinked. Oh well.
He pulled it back, wiping the little bit of blood on his pants before looking back up at her. Gabriel didn't remember letting go of her or her escaping, but who cared. He didn't remember a lot of things. Scowling, he let the knife drop to his side, getting to his feet.
"Listen." He tried to take a gentler tone, but it was hard, she just wasn't listening to him. People who didn't listen annoyed Gabriel half to death. Or something along those lines. He sighed again, not trying to reach for her. Sedate. At some point he realized she didn't have have a wand, and that something was seriously wrong.
But it didn't matter it was that one little word, sedate, sedate - sedatesedate sleep. Gabriel was on his feet, straight up, in a moment. A wild look took over his face. "No,nononono." He shook his head violently, breath rattling in his lungs. She must be from Hadley, that was it, they'd followed him, they'd put him back in that room with the ghost, and they ask him questions and watch him through the little camera in the corner, and - and -
"No." He held the knife as if he meant to jab but didn't, eyes narrowed, staring at her. "No,no,no. I can't let you do that. No."
He took a deep breath, trying to remember how at the same time, and as a result choked on it. "I can't, you don't understand, I can't. Last time - Nevermind. Nevermind."
Already the headache was fading, as it tended to, but it had still seemed like a good idea to get it checked out ...

Several shuddering breaths later, Gabriel stared after her. Eventually, his brain reconnected with his lungs and he relearned how to. He took a few steps after her, unsure whether to be grateful or not.
"Wait - "
Hell, they'd been trying to kill each other a moment ago. Gabriel wasn't sure what to think.

She stopped walking for a moment to ponder the question. For some reason, the answer just wasn't there. Oh, right! It was...
"What? Don't be silly. My name is what people call me. Isn't that obvious?" Mayu said, perfectly serious. What kind of idiot didn't know that? Well, of course, THIS kind of idiot. It had to be this kind of idiot or he wouldn't have asked.
Why would he ask her such a silly question? Either way, the nurse wasn't here, and she had other places to be. She began walking again, and this time a little faster. Maybe there were good nursing books in the library.
