"Monsieur..." But Lia simply looked sad. She watched him as he fell and crawled and raved like he had lost all leave of his senses. She had come to work at a hospital, accepting the pitiable of God's creatures and he was exemplifying that.
She waved off the orderly as he took a step into the room. She could manage this. Surely God made her the nurse without a thing to do when this boy arrived for a reason. And he is a boy, when she thinks about it. He can't be much older than her little brother and he's so very frightened.
"But you are here, with us. You came to this hospital and there was a reason for it. We have checked you in and we will help you. You have to let us help you." Of course Lia knew there was little sense in bargaining with the patients here. They didn't often understand or didn't care, trapped in their own delusions.
Lia grabbed him by the hips, unable to stop herself from marveling at his underwear for just a moment. Elastic...and the fabric looked relatively new. Was he perhaps a wealthy son dropped off? She didn't see any physical injury on him, at the least. Still, she pulled him back toward her and started to remove his briefs even with him face down and clawing the bed to get away. "Only until a doctor does his evaluation," She soothed. "Only until then and it is just us here..."
She was attempting comfort. A touch down his back or to his thighs as a nurse outside yelled for assistance and a door slammed. Normal sounds, but certainly they could be frightening. The orderly had already pulled out the padded restraints and Lia was starting to think he had been right to do so.
