It's All Routine [Daniel]

OOC: This is going to take place BEFORE “Village Nightlife”

Lily was walking around the hospital, humming to herself as she did, carrying supplies from one room to another. She was learning to like the small French village that was removed from the conflict, for the time being. Things were relatively quiet except for the occasional cry of pain that ripped at her heart. The men were transported from the front lines to a quieter place, here, sometimes and she they were set to take care of them as best they could with the supplies they had. Thankfully they were never really low on anything and all of the nurses tried to retain sunny dispositions no matter what. Lily did that as best she could and smiled softly at one of the young fighters in a bed.

He had just showed up a week ago, shot through the leg, and it had been a bit of a fight, but he was recovering and he nodded to her, beat up, but still in good spirits. Her bright smile always seemed to impart something onto the troops and as she brought the syringes into one of the other rooms as well as some gauze in the same box. It was a wonderful small place, and although they lost a soldier every once and a while, the beds were seldom empty unless someone got sent back to fighting and death was rare, since they were so far off the front line.

However, they were due for some new soldiers, just because it had been a few days since the last batch had arrived and Lily was trying to stay close to the front of the building, ready to help where she was needed, and she hovered by the front door, sitting on the stairs periodically if she wasn’t doing anything better and then got called off to do something again. Currently though, she was seated on the stairs without much to do, pensively drawn into herself as well as waiting for that knock on the door or the sound of tires pulling up in front of the French building.

Daniel walked through the streets of the small town. His unit had been taken away from the frontlines recently. They were sent here to "guard" the town - Not that it neededand guarding at all. He had been bored, so he asked his XO to send him on a patrol or something. Instead, the Officer had sent him down the street to help out at the hospital."I don't even have medical training!" Daniel muttered angrily. While he was muttering to himself, he had been drawing closer to the field hospital, and now he turned a corner, and it was just down the street in front of him.

This road here was a lot muddier than the other village roads, due to all the medical trucks and jeeps, which past through every day. It also seemed to Daniel, that the mud even had red tinge to it, but that could just be his imagination. Daniel strolled over to the door, and wiped his boots on the concrete steps, before lifting up his hand and knocking twice on the door. After a few seconds he slowly pushed the door inwards, causing it to emit a load groan. Daniel took one step inside the hall,"Erm, I was sent here to help out, or something . . ." He called out, trying to put a cheery smile on his face.

Lily yawned lightly as she continued her vigil in the front of the house. It wasn't very interesting, but it was better than running supplies from one room to another for some reason. They were always moving things, which made no sense to the young nurse, then they couldn't find them, but she did as she was told by her superiors and that was all. She was a good nurse, that was for sure, even if she wasn't the most adept, she was pleasant and willing to do what she was told, so it eventually ended up working. Hopping up from her spot on the stairs, she was going to go up to check on everyone again until she heard knocking and the door.

Arching an eyebrow, she scaled down the stairs and peered into the lobby, seeing a soldier come in and call out. He didn't look thrilled, but he was trying and Lily came into the room with a giant, cheerful smile, as it was her custom. No one responded positively to initial negative energy, so the bubbly, young nurse put her best foot forward and appeared from around the corner.

"Hello there!" she chirped happily. "Here to help out?" she repeated before continuing, "Well, that's great, though there's not too much to do right now. Maybe you could help the doctors move some of the beds?" she offered, and then realized she hadn't even given the proper introduction, "Oh! By the way, I'm Nurse Lily." She was a regular spitfire when she talked, fast but in that southern drawl from her years in Georgia.

Daniel was pleasantly surprised by the enthusiastic young nurse that greeted him as he entered the room. He had been expecting a grumpy old nun, who would order him to help her hack a leg off some misfortunate patiant, but instead he had gotten this nice cheerful nurse.
Daniel stepped into the room fully, then pushed the door shut behind him."Yeah, I'll help out anywhere you want," Daniel said, grinning. Apparently the nurse's cheerfulness was beginning to rub off on him.

Daniel had forgotten to ask the nurses name, and he smile as she told him it,"I'm Corporal Brennan, pleased to meet you, Lily." Daniel walked up to her, waiting for her to tell him where to go."If you could lead the way, miss." He told her expectantly.

Daniel looked around at the part of the hospital which he could see from the bottom of the stairs. It wasn't very big at all. The patients were probably all grouped together, but it seemed like a nice enough place. The doctors went around everywhere whistling to themselves, and the few soldiers that he could see, seemed to be happy. Definatley the sort of hospital Daniel would want to go to if he was injured.

Being a nurse was not easy work, Lily had to admit. They had to try to look pleasant and pretty for the patients as well as be able to lift, move, dig, and help out any way they were asked. Lily was one of the nurses who wasn't very good at physical things, but she did what she could and that was generally what they expected for her and it was returned with some amount of admiration for her efforts. Plus, she was always volunteering to do things, as long as she was being active and not just idling around with patients, she was treated with respect. She liked that, at home no one treated her with respect.

At home she was just a girl who was to get married and have babies and grow up the babies so that they could get married. It wasn't a very fulfilling life, which was why she came here and was now enjoying the benefits of being able to help and save people. She was glad to see that he was happy to help out though, and Lily smiled, "Oh good, Doctor McGillis will be happy to have some help," she nodded and started to lead.

"It's a pleasure, Corporal," she began, "We're not very busy right now, as you can tell, but some things still need to be done," she spoke as she walked, leading him through the halls and to the string of rooms where patients were resting in beds, some empty, others with mildly hurt patients, it was all a very calm place, for the most part, "What brought you out this way?" she asked, making simple conversation as she led him along, wondering why the soldiers were moving this way and if they would be moving base again.

[Daniel Brennan]

Lily started moving down the hallway, and Daniel followed her obediently. They were passing through a few rooms, and Daniel could see that the hospital wasn't as busy as he had first thought it was. Daniel's muddy boots were slipping on the freshly washed floors, and all the patients that he past had fresh bandages, and clean wounds. Daniel smiled encouragingly at a soldier in a bed whom he recognized. The man had accidently run out onto a minefield, just a few weeks ago, and Daniel hadn't heard of him since. He had thought that the man had died!

Daniel started walking faster again, so he could catch up with the nurse, before answering her question,"Oh, well we were taken back here to this village about a week ago, and today an Officer told me to come down here and help out." Daniel decided not to tell her that he had asked for something to do, and then had been unwillingly sent here. Daniel gave her a sideways look."Where do you come from anyway" He enquired. Daniel stopped for a second to let a trolley be wheeled past, before continuing on his way.
