Laura was sitting up and clutching her wrist to her chest. "It's all right, Carmilla!" But talking at the disappearing back of her girlfriend wasn't going to do much so she stood up, still clutching her wrist and walked towards the door. Only to have Carmilla and LaFontaine come in, followed by everyone else. "It's not broken." She held her hand up, wiggling her fingers.
Only to realise how much of an audience she had and turned scarlet. "This is a bad dream!" She pinched her wrist out of reflex and screwed her face up. "Not a dream!"
And then she took a deep breath. "Girl the hell up, Laura!" She clenched her hand injured hand and winced again before holding it out to LaFontaine, very carefully keeping her eyes on a spot on top of the door so she didn't have to look at anyone in the room. "Carmilla, it's fine! I'm fine! But LaF needs to look at it."
To LaF it would look like an old break, about a week old and starting to heal. But LaF knew perfectly well that Laura's wrist hadn't been broken a week ago. And Laura's heart was now the size of a golf ball - not much bigger than the wallnut size it had been, but bigger enough to be measurable by LaF's bionic eye.
