Theo raised an eyebrow as she jumped to her feet, obviously excited at the prospect of getting him up and something to eat and drink. At her words, he hesitated before carefully sitting up. He just knew this was going to hurt. After all, he was in enough pain just laying there. He grimaced as a low burn crept through his stomach muscles, eliciting a groan from him. After taking a moment to breathe, he swung his legs around to the edge of the bed. The pain was already returning to his back and remained firmly in his stomach.
Taking a deep breath, he forced himself to his feet only for sharp, sudden pain to shoot up both legs and force him back down again. It was all he could do to keep from swearing. Breathing heavily, he grimaced when he realized that he wouldn't be going anywhere anytime soon. Then, an idea came to him, much as he was hesitant for her to leave her.
"Can you ask Donovan for some painkillers?" he asked. He knew his brother would have some. Donovan had enough painkillers to numb a horse.

Elizabeth frowned deeply at his failed attempt of getting to his feet. She nodded to his question, placing a gentle kiss on his forhead. "I will be right back, I promise." she said gently before she headed out the door and toward Donovan's. When she got to his door she hesitated in knocking. Shaking her head she took a deep breath before knocking on his door gently then she waited for a response.

Theo sighed quietly at the sight of the frown on his wife's face. He hated this, being so helpless that he couldn't even stand up. He closed his eyes for a moment before opening them again when she kissed his forehead. At her words, he nodded. It wasn't like he would be going anywhere.
Donovan scrubbed relentlessly at the large spot on his mattress. The bedsheets were on the floor in a pile near his clothes hamper, beside a pile of dirty clothes. His body was aching -his stomach churning as if he would throw up any second- but his mind was completely blank. Perhaps that was due to how many times it had happened. He rebelled against the thought that, perhaps, he was getting used to it. That sick, used, disgusted feeling told him he would never get used to it.
At the sound of knocking, he jumped before snapping his head around to stare at the door. However, when no one immediately entered, he straightened up, letting the damp, dirtied cloth fall over the stain. Taking a few deep breaths to calm his racing heart, he walked over to the door and opened it. His eyebrows shot up in surprise at the sight of Elizabeth. "Huh. I imagined you would have been spending the day with your husband," he said, trying to sound fine about it but he couldn't quite keep out the hint of bitterness.
Though he was surprised by her presence, his own appearance probably had her more surprised. His skin was pale, very much so. The skin under his eyes were dark and his eyes were bloodshot. His clothes looked like they had just been hastily thrown on, chosen at random from his dresser.

Once Donovan answered the door her eyes widened for a moment before they shot down at the ground, staring at his legs. She heard the hint of bitterness in his words but she pushed it aside seeing as arguing was not what she was here for. "Theo needs painkillers." she said flatly to him in a monotoned voice.
She wanted to ask him why he looked like such a mess. She could feel her heart aching from the sight of how he was. Did he end up like that from her getting back with Theo, or was it something else. She was going with the earlier choice.

Donovan watched as her eyes widened at the sight of him. He knew he must have looked a wreck but he hadn't realized just how bad he really did look. He raised an eyebrow but didn't ask. Instead, when she looked down and all but muttered that Theo needed some painkillers, he nodded. Walking over to the bathroom without a word, he turned on the light before opening his medicine cabinet and scanning through the contents.
Finally deciding which medication would be best for Theo's injuries, he grabbed the small bottle before closing the cabinet, turning off the light and returning to the doorway to his bedroom. "Here," he said, handing the bottle to her. "Tell him to take one every six hours until he can manage without."

Elizabeth glanced up as he handed the bottle of medication to her. She turned the bottle in her hand, making the pills rattle inside. "Thanks. I'll tell him that," she said looking up, no longer surprised by his appearance. She stepped up to him and gave him a gentle hug by standing on the tip of her toes and wrapping her thin arms around his neck. She stayed there for a long moment before letting go and gave him a weak smile before turning around and heading back to Theo's room without another word to Donovan.
As she entered the room she twisted the bottle top off and poured one pill out before placing the top back on. "He said take one every six hours before they are no longer of need." she told Theo as she stepped up to him and held her hand out with the pill in her hand.

Donovan watched as she turned the bottle, resulting in a quiet rattle from the pills inside. He nodded at her thanks before stiffening as she stepped closer and hugged him around the neck. For a moment, he moved his arms forward to hug her back, wanting nothing more than to hold her... forever, before he reminded himself that she was not his wife. She was in sister-in-law. So, he forced his arms back to his sides, refusing to allow himself to be hurt anymore. At least, he refused to be hurt by not being able to have her anymore.
When she finally let go, a blank, indifferent expression had fallen over his face. He had to keep up the pretense that he didn't care. He couldn't let her see just how much she was killing him. When she started to move away, he quickly closed the door behind him.
Theo waited patiently on the edge of the bed for Elizabeth to return. Since he'd remained still, his muscles didn't ache as much as they had when she'd left but they still hurt which made him even happier when she returned.
At the instructions and pill that she gave him, he nodded before asking, "Can you get me something to drink? There should be a glass in the bathroom." He wasn't nearly as good at dry swallowing as his brother.

Elizabeth nodded gently to Theo's request and walked to the bathroom and grabbed the glass and filled it with water before returning to his side. She sat down beside him and bent over him holding the glass, slipping her hand underneath his head gently. She watched him quietly, staying silent the intire time.

Theo watched as his wife disappeared into the bathroom before returning again. When she sat beside him, he took hold of the glass in his free hand and popped the pill into his mouth. After several deep gulps from the glass, he felt the pill go down his throat -still a slightly disturbing feeling, to him anyway. Lowering the glass again, he took a deep breath before setting the glass on the beside table. "Better wait for the pill to kick in before I try anything."

Elizabeth watched him take the pill, making sure he didn't choke or anything. She nodded gently in agreement with what he said. She stayed beside him, running her fingers through his gently.

Theo sighed deeply and closed his eyes for a moment, enjoying the feel of her fingers running over his own. It was amazing, being home again, being back with Elizabeth He had missed her so much when he'd been captured, more than anyone else. Of course, he had missed Donovan and his mother too but not as much. But she was his wife so it went without saying.

Elizabeth watched him with gentle eyes, waiting for the pain killers to settle in and take over the pain. She hope it was soon cause she new how hungry Theo had to been. God. She was so happy he was finally back with her, in her arms and their bed. It made her fell as if she could float on a cloud.
[[Sorry, this is overly crappy and extreamly late DX]]

Theo let his eyes close as he waited for the pill to take effect. While he waited, he let his thoughts wander. He refused to think of where he had been, instead forcing himself to think on what he could have possibly missed. He knew what had happened between Elizabeth and Donovan. He wasn't stupid. He knew the demands placed on royalty. Of course, there was more to it. He knew there was. He'd seen the way Donovan had looked at her and was surprised that he hadn't realized it sooner. It had probably started back before he'd even gone missing and he wanted to kick himself for not realizing it sooner. But that didn't mean he would just give up. No way. Donovan may have loved Elizabeth but she was his wife. He wasn't going to let her go without a fight, even if it meant fighting his own twin.
But even the very thought hurt. He didn't want to fight Donovan, his brother, his twin, his other half. He didn't want Donovan to be miserable either. He would have to do something. Perhaps find Donovan someone else. Did Elizabeth have any sisters? Female cousins maybe? Or would it just be best to find him someone else completely? He didn't know but he would continue to think on it. He'd come up with an answer eventually. In the mean time, he was hungry.
Opening his eyes again, he took a deep breath before unsteadily pushing himself to his feet. He still hurt but not as much, for which he was glad.

Elizabeth watched him intently was he laid their looking so calm. Once he reopened his eyes and stood to his feet she hurried stood as well and got to his side. She brushed his cheek with her fingers gently before kissing it lovingly with a walm smile.
"Come. Lets get that tummy filled with something." she said as she went and grabbed his hand tenderly. She didn't want to grab him to hard, thinking if she did he would shatter into a million peices before her and disappear into nothing.
