we could talk about the lives we've led

Who: Lee and anyone!
What: Visitation hours are open at Clem's bedside while she's unconscious for his canon update. Feel free to tag each other, too! Bracketspam or prose are both A+ fine.
When: December 27th-Jan 2nd
Where: Clementine's room.
Rating: PG-13 for language, maybe? Will update if content changes.

On the first day, when Lee sits at all, he perches on the edge of her bed and waits for her to wake. A protective vigil, maybe, or a manifestation of guilt that he'd let this happen to her at all. (Rationally, he knew that there was nothing he could have done. Things like this happen. It's life, and there's no way to get around it.)

On the second day, he drags a stool over, and barely speaks.

Finally, on the third, he wishes up a high backed chair that is more comfortable than it looks. He keeps the area around it tidy, but the stack of books and notebooks grow. He doesn't shave, but he eats enough to keep him going. Showers and changes early every morning, feeds and takes Clementine's puppy outside for a few minutes, just out of habit; he doesn't want he recoiling in disgust when she does finally wake.

Regardless, Lee will be in Clementine's room almost the entire week, eyes probably on some sort of book in his lap, though he can, occasionally and if the door is opened quietly enough, be found either talking or reading to her. In short, he's the picture of a father, worried sick about a silent child, and nothing short of the castle's magic itself could get him to leave for any extended period.

It might not be easy for him to make, but it's easy for Carley to take his hand in hers and squeeze it, scooting towards him a little more to reach better. She knows how hard this is for Lee, but she's glad he's making that first move. He's not shutting anyone out, it's a good sign.

"It's hard to let go of the group mentality, I guess. We protect our own, that whole thing." Her thumb rubs against the back of Lee's hand, soothing. "She's lucky to have you keeping an eye on her."

"Yeah, you are. And when she wakes up you'll be right here for her." She leans forward a little, trying to catch his eye. "You realize how important that is, right?"

He has to see it, that when Clem wakes up the first thing she'll do is want Lee right there to tell her everything will be fine. He might feel like he's not doing much useful, but he's really doing the exact opposite of that.

With a sigh, Carley shakes her head. It's not a pleasant thought and what Clementine was going home to is something she had been trying not to think too hard about.

"I couldn't tell you. You've been here longer than me, I'm still figuring out how all this works. Still," she squeezes his hand to get his attention. "It's important, Lee. Don't sell yourself short."

She smiles at him in return, maybe a little strained but still, it's there.

"Of course she will. Maybe we can make it a weekly thing."
