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.

"Fuck no! Why would I do that???"

There's a bit of a harsh edge to her voice as she yelled. Sure, she was a bit of a shit back in the boarding schools she'd been shoved into, and yeah, she had started her share of fights. But Ellie was so used to people shoving the blame on her even when it wasn't her fault that those words just... kind of set her off. She was used to people automatically not believing her when she was asked that.

So that's why this situation was so different. She was so dead-set on taking the blame, despite how much she hated it when that happened back in Boston.

"But it's still my fault!"

There's a long pause, before Ellie finally scowls, turning her gaze off to the left and shoving her hands in her pockets.

"No, I wouldn't. Shit, I hate it when you people try to talk sense."

She doesn't actually sound mad. If this had been a less serious situation, she'd probably just be pouting.

"It was an accident, yeah. But... I still feel really fucking guilty about this whole thing."
