Adam woke to the smell of deep rich and savory food and It pulled him from sleep before his mind fully caught up.
He turned his head slowly toward the kitchenette. Remedy was sitting casually on the couch, watching TV like nothing in the world mattered.
She glanced at him and instantly noticed.
"Good. You're up."
Adam blinked a few times. His body still hurt, but not like before.
"How long was I out this time?" he asked.
Remedy answered without hesitation.
"It's 4:50 p.m. now," she said. "So approximately nine hours."
Adam didn't comment.
He was fully aware of her Tell Time talent.
Still, he couldn't help the small chuckle that escaped him.
Which he immediately regretted as pain flared in his ribs.
Remedy stood up and walked over with a plate. The same smell that had woken him now hit him fully.
She sat down beside him and lifted the spoon.
Adam quickly raised a hand.
"I can feed myself now."
He took the plate from her to prove it.
