He closed his eyes as she worked on him, trying to block out that very old addiction.
"Daniel."

"Daniel" she smiled and pushed his neck softly to the left, and wiped the area again "I'm Isa."

All right, lying here with his eyes closed like this was helping him calm down, though by tiny degrees.
Just don't think.
Easier said than done, as the return to human senses were distracting him something awful. The stupid hospital light was too bright, for instance...he could feel it on his closed eyes.
"Isa...thanks."

"Of course, this isn't the first time I've seen this wound" she replied darkly "most aren't talking though when I see it."

That got him to open his eyes, in spite of the overhead lighting.
"They don't...get up again, do they?" He asked, genuinely curious. He'd never given much thought to this aspect of a place having a decent vampire population. Just how many dead did the morgue see that weren't really "dead"?

"We've had a few go missing" she sighed "bust most of them simply victims, victims of ones with a terrible hunger."
She finished with the first wound and moved on to the second.
"It's unfortunate really, there's been more than usual as of late, a lot of society boys, mostly young men."

Oh, he could guess who was causing those to show up.
"No society boy this time."
This was surreal. He was sitting here chatting with a nurse while she patched him from a vampire bite, while at the same little things that wouldn't have been given a thought not too long ago were bothering him.
It was too cold in here.

"Well you're alive sweet cheeks" Isa replied sadly "they aren't."
She finished the rest of the second wound in silence, patching it nicely with some gauze afterward.
"Where were you, when this happened?"

He winced, but at the question rather than his injury.
"A park."

"Can you describe the thing that did this to you?"
She'd call the police, but after so many, she knew they either wouldn't show or wouldn't care.

He sighed.
"Why bother? It's not like anyone would find him and kick his ass." He said wearily. He was suddenly feeling very, very tired.

"I know, I was just wondering" she sighed "I've checked you in for an over night, let me grab a wheel chair and get you to a room."

He gave Isa a faint smile.
"Well, if it makes you feel better, he's a tall blonde fop that has a permanent sneer on his face."

"A bit" she smiled and went outside to grab a chair, leaving Daniel alone for a few minutes.

While she was gone, he had time to replay the events of the night in his mind, wishing he could go back in time and slap himself for being so stupid. He'd known Lestat was up to something. He should've left once he'd realized that, but no, he had to hang around and try to antagonize him.
I just hope that broken sense of self-preservation starts working again now that I'm more breakable.
Well, wasn't that a nice thought?
