She applied the eardrops first and allowed those to settle in before trying again to talk to Paris. "How is that? Can you tell me what happened?" Any details would help Mere be able to help her more. She took the cream and began to apply it to the burns along her arms and cheeks. It would hurt a little bit but as the cream absorbed it would begin to heal.
She was almost lulled to sleep at the nurse's soft hands wiping her face. Boy, she was good. She wondered if she gave out massages at all. Paris would totally die if she did. She would be her best customer.
She sat still as the nurse went to put some ear drops in her ear. She hated wet thing sin her ears, but as she couldn't hear anything she thought it was best to tough this out and let the nurse work her magic. She waited a few seconds be fore she wiggled her ears, something she learned from her brothers, she heard the muffled conversation of the girl's next to her.
"Fine thanks," She said noting that the nurse again asked shy Paris looked like she had been through a war.
Hmmm, how to put this as to not get into trouble...
"Er...um well I am an inventor." She said trying to smile and only succeeding in cracking her lip and wincing in pain.
"And I was trying to test my latest invention and it didn't work out how I had planned." There she did. She was totally honest without telling her anything incriminating.
She wanted to hit the ceiling when she started with that cream! YIKES! Oh it burns, she wanted to tell her, but she was almost 14 she couldn't cry like a little baby, well like her brother Lucas would have done. She clutched her eyes closed till the pain went away, the it was sort of cooling. Ok this ain't so bad. Good thing I didn't cry.
