I need a...

[There is some shuffling.]

...a doctor, I think. I want to speak to a doctor.

[He fell? Derek takes a moment to let that mental image sink in, not to mention the fact that Bran doesn't seem to remember it actually happening. And that's it. Derek has just mentally adopted this kid.]

Must've been a bad fall. We've just got a little bit further.

[Bran ducks his head in a single nod.]

My spine got hurt, Maester Luwin said. I don't remember. Just... waking up, and I was like this. That's all.

[There is a curious tone to his voice, as if something troubles him about it beyond just the obvious reasons.]

How far was the fall?

[Of course Derek knows it doesn't take much where the spine is concerned. He'd seen football players and agents both get spine injuries.]

From a window... four floors up, I think.

[Derek wheels the chair up the ramp leading into the hospital and through the doors.]

There are several doctors here, Bran. They should be able to answer your questions. You want me to stay with you or wait in the waiting room for you to finish talking to them?

[He doesn't want to say so, for fear it will be taken as a sign of weakness, but...]

If you would wait, I would... be very grateful.

[Derek is honestly glad that Bran asked him to stay. He would have worried if he'd gone back to the center without him.]

Alright, I'll be right over here in this waiting room when you're ready, okay?

[Bran nods thankfully. When he's called back to be examined, he offers a little smile back over his shoulder as he goes.]
