It had been a few days since the battle and the witch had been trying to find out what had happened to Tess and where she was so should could check up on her. Mari had really connected with the young witch at the ball and was genuinly interested in how the girl was doing.
But she was a Holmes and thus getting to her proved a bit more difficult than thought. Of course, at St.Nicks Marilyn had had guards, courtesy of her grandparents, come to keep paparazzi out of her room. So she wasn't surprised when she arrived at Tess' room in the hospital and had to deal with extra security.
A mixture of 'You know who I am and I know you know' and 'I know you're scared of me and you should be' proved very effective in getting in and soon she wasknocking on the door, opening it slightly.
"May I come in?"

'Seventeen days and counting.' Tess thought frustratingly as she flipped through another page of a book she was rereading.

It was so utterly frustrating to be in the room; she wasn't as close to improving as they had hoped. For one thing her ribs were taking long to heal, she might have caused that when she had fallen on the way to the bathroom. She was too prideful to ask for help to shower. Silent weeping and help getting out of the shower as a pitiful baby was enough for Tess to realize she couldn't push herself as she wanted to. At least there was one silver lining, her head was getting better. She didn't need to take so many naps, and they had checked it over to see if she had had any problems with her memories. So far everything was intact, though they had been worried over the fact she couldn't even remember the outcome.

The horrible nightmare with Constance Vale, and Tess' screaming was enough for them to see that she remembered things that were better for her to forget. Now she had regular lighting, finally she was able to read comfortably.

At the moment no one had visited her except family, and Ben. Her lip twitched at the memory of Ben, as she flipped through another page. She like the privacy, and her mother had helped her change her clothing from the horrendous hospital gowns. She was capable of wearing shorts, but for her top, it was primarily made of bandages that covered from the top of her breasts and right shoulder, down to her abdomen to keep everything tightly in place.

Knocking made her curious as to who would be visiting. Her brother was with Miss Finn, and Rhian wouldn't even bother visiting her, and Ben...her eyes shined with excitement.

"May I come in?"

The voice...definitely not Ben.

"Yes" she called out tentatively, unsure if it was a reporter or anyone who would want to take advantage of the moment.

Marilyn entered, careful to not hit her left arm that was still in a cast from the battle. It was no longer blackened and would be fine soon, but it still twinged, as was to be expected from such a dark curse.

"Hey Tess..." the auror in training greeted in a warm tone, much different from the disposition she'd used with the Aurors, "You can relax, it's just me. Persuaded security to let me in, I hope that was alright." The witch smiled as she sat in the chair next to the bed, eyebrows furrowed as she took in the girl before her, "How are you feeling, Tess?"

As the door opened, Tess couldn't help but be surprised as to who had come to visit her. Marilyn Caldwell, the Marilyn Caldwell! Why was she here? She smiled softly nonetheless, happy to have someone visit, especially if it was someone she herself admired.

Absentmindedly her hands went to her hair hoping that she didn't look a mess in front of Miss Caldwell. She knew it was foolish, but for whatever reason she was visiting, and she didn't want to be a mess. Her eyes went to the cast on the girl's arm, and frowned, knowing that the battle continued on, hurting more people than just herself.

"You can relax, it's just me. Persuaded security to let me in, I hope that was alright."

"How are you feeling, Tess?"


Closing her book, she smiled as Mari told her how to she got it. It took a lot for those guards to be persuaded. She giggled softly knowing that there was no way that there was intimidation and power to push them aside.

"I have to admit that I'm surprised you're here, but pleasantly so" she said softly, "And I'm fine, just trying to heal my ribs. But are you okay? I don't" she wrinkled her brow "I don't remember anything after the explosion."

That's what frustrated her. She was semi-consciousness as she was dragged out by Mary. She couldn't open her eyes, her head was pounding too hard at the time. Last thing she saw was Constance. But she knew that the battle kept going, it always did.

"I have to admit that I'm surprised you're here, but pleasantly so. And I'm fine, just trying to heal my ribs. But are you okay? "
Marilyn repressed a chuckle and settle for a smile at the girls enthusiasm to see her.It was extremely flattering and sweet to see that kind of reaction from anyone really, that it was Tess- such a lovely girl- just made her happier.

"Me? I'm fine, just got a bit of a hex, broke my arm, I'll be fine in a few days. The cast is just to set it. Well, I'm glad you got out more or less safely.How's your brother?"
the witch inquired before briefly summing up the Events for Tess, thinking perhaps it would make her feel better.

"After the Explosion the battle ended pretty soon. Clement took most of the widows down with my Partner and I. And the rest surrendered. They're gone now and that's the gist of it. Now all you Need to do is Focus on healing. What are you reading?" Mari asked, genuinly interested.

"Me? I'm fine, just got a bit of a hex, broke my arm, I'll be fine in a few days. The cast is just to set it. Well, I'm glad you got out more or less safely.How's your brother?"

The way that Marilyn casually spoke of her injuries, Tess' eyes widened. She didn't understand the tone of the woman, perhaps it was as they had been simple bruises, or the way she spoke of it like speaking about the weather. It amazed her how seemingly unfazed she was.

'She's Marilyn Caldwell, obviously she's been through worse'

Her mind immediately brought forward, and Tess had to agree with its assessment. Mari Caldwell had escaped something that was seen as unescapable, and dealt with a lot more. Maybe that's why Tess admired her so much, for her unwavering strength.

"My brother is well, he's with his fiancée. They're both improving on their own health after the attack" she said softly.

"After the Explosion the battle ended pretty soon. Clement took most of the widows down with my Partner and I. And the rest surrendered. They're gone now and that's the gist of it. Now all you Need to do is Focus on healing. What are you reading?"

It was as if Marilyn knew that Tess wanted to know. She had heard that the Black Widows had been destroyed. She'd heard that there had also been a lot of deaths. Mr. Clement had definitely earned high praises from everyone, and Tess wished to meet that man.

"I'm healing...slowly but I'm healing" she said pointing to her ribs on her left side. They were getting better, slowly, once she let go. "I'm reading the stories of Merlin, not by choice, but I ran out of things to do here"

The witch seemed surprised by the way Marilyn spoke of her wounds, but it was not consciously done; that was her coping mechanism. Perhaps not the most admirable coping mechanism there was, but distancing and minimalizing had worked so far, give or take a few examples; the down side to it was that it could become increasingly difficult to communicate with the witch at some point.

Marilyn nodded as Tess spoke of her brother and his fiancée healing after the battle andwas pleased to hear that they seemed to be doing fine. At least, in comparison to Tess. Marilyn had already become grouchy (more than usual) when she'd had to stay in the Hospital for six hours, if she'd been forced to stay for days she would've hexed someone.

"I'm reading the stories of Merlin, not by choice, but I ran out of things to do here"

The auror-in-training raised an eyebrow at the reading material. It seemed a bit...dull if you were a Young witch stuck in the Hospital, but then again, it wasn't by choice. The witch shifted in her seat and her Expression turned thoughtful, "Well I could take your mind off of things, I can stay for a few hours, unless I get called of course, but still. I'm no Merlin but I'll do my best."

Tess laughed softly as Marilyn agreed to stay with her. She wondered why the witch was wasting her time with her when she could have been doing something more entertaining. She knew she wasn't the funniest, or the most talkative, she was used to listening more than talking, all these factors made her a bit nervous about what Marilyn would want to talk about. Surely the girl had a more interesting life that one of propriety, tradition, and submissiveness that Tess did.

"Well I could take your mind off of things, I can stay for a few hours, unless I get called of course, but still. I'm no Merlin but I'll do my best."

"I wish you could get me out of here to be honest" she said amused, "but your company...well I guess I can settle for that"
