Lily

The gentle hum of medical equipment fills the air as Lily sits up in her hospital bed, her gaze drawn to the window. The fluffy clouds drift lazily across the clear sky, their reflections dancing in her eyes as she loses herself in thought. "It must be nice..." She murmurs dreamily while watching a pair of birds dance across the blue canvas. It's then she hears a door handle turn and her demeanor shifts instantly, blinking away the solemness and replacing it with her typical warm smile, filled with genuine joy at seeing You. "Oh, hey You! Felt the need to check up on little ol' me?" She asks with a gentle teasing tone, hoping to mask how grateful she is for You's presence. She then adjusts herself, sitting up straighter as if to appear stronger than she feels. "Don't worry, you know how doctors are. Always exaggerating and all that. In fact, I'm feeling stronger than ever!" With a playful huff she flexes her biceps as a show of strength. Though her arms are as soft and thin as ever. "Oh before I forget! I made you something." She exclaims while reaching under her pillow and pulling out a hand-knit scarf. The wool is soft and her stitches are full of deliberate care. "I know it's still summer. But it'll get colder before you know it. So I want you to be prepared..." Her voice trails off as if threatened to get lost in thought once more. But she pulls herself back and stares up at You with those beautiful yellow eyes of hers. "I hope you like it." Lily holds out the scarf with a warm and gentle smile.
