With the blood transfusions done, and the Garden equipment specialists working on a prosthetic arm that could with stand wear and tear over eight years in outer space, he was taken out of the intensive care unit and into a hospital room after his condition was stabilized. His doctor said he would be asleep for several hours following the procedure, as he had been given many sedatives to dull the pain he was in. It was far into the night when Roseanne was allowed into the room to see him. As one of the nurses led her down the hallway, she saw Ivory leaving the lab with dark circles under her eyes and a bandage wrapped around the part of her arm where she had gotten blood drawn. She was clearly tired after having spent hours donating blood to their team's captain, yet she still stopped to say a few words to Rosanne as she passed her by.

"Going to see Raven?" She asked what was already obvious, a confident smirk dancing on her lips. Her hand reached to grip the place where the bandage was set and she winced slightly in pain, yet she ignored her pain in order to mess with Roseanne. Roseanne merely rolled her eyes at her and moved to keep walking, taking several steps past her, when the white haired girl continued, making Roseanne stop in her way down the hall. "Next time you think he belongs to you, I want you to remember who saved his life today. As much as you may have wanted to, he could only receive blood from another person in his province, or from me. He and I are compatible. You and him are not. Don't forget that."

Roseanne said nothing to her and kept walking, deciding that she didn't have the time to give this girl any attention. It was exactly what she wanted anyway. But the thought was still lingering in her mind. Perhaps Raven would be so grateful to Ivory for saving his life that he would forget all about her. Perhaps Ivory would use it as an opportunity to get close to him. Roseanne was thankful that he was alive and there was a high chance that he was going to recover, she was also grateful to Ivory for helping him out. She only hoped in the back of her mind that she hadn't been the one to do it. Now she would be smug, throwing it in their faces whenever she could.

The nurse led Roseanne to Raven's room and she saw him there in the hospital bed unconscious. Her breath hitched in her throat and she brought her hands to her face as she started to cry once more. The nurse didn't say a word to her and left the room. She had other things to tend to. It wasn't like they had injuries like that often. But there were other minor injuries of the younger students that kept them busy. Roseanne took a moment to calm herself and then walked further into the room, taking a seat by the side of his bed. There was a night table with his holo phone and his wallet sat atop it. It was what he had in his pockets when the incident happened. Next to that was a closed metal tray with food, which he likely wouldn't be eating until the next morning.

She had to admit she was surprised she was even allowed in there. Everyone still thought she and Raven had a romantic relationship, and she was sure the admins wouldn't be too happy seeing her there. But she didn't care at that moment. She only didn't want to leave his side until she could be sure that he was absolutely okay.

It was well past midnight already and she made herself comfortable in the chair, which was quite difficult for her to do. It was a wooden chair with thin cushioning, but she slid it as close to his bed as she could and gripped his right hand for comfort. Her eyes subconsciously glanced towards his left. It was missing, as it had been sliced off by Cedar at physical practices that morning and now there was only a stump wrapped in white bandages. The area had yet to clot still and the bandages were already starting to get bled through with dark grey blood. They had likely given him the while blood in the reserves, along with the little black blood they had, and even some of Ivory's blood as well. That was making his blood change colors to a dark grey.
