Better wasn't exactly the best term, he just didn't feel so sick anymore, at least not from that particular illness. Jasper gave a very faint shake of his head, unsure whether to answer yes or not, he still wasn't even that sure. "Laurie is gone." His voice shook and cracked when he spoke, his mouth was dry and it ached in his throat when he tried to speak at full volume. He wasn't sure if Laurent had let any of them know that he was going, when he might be back, or if he planned to come back at all. Even though the note said he would be back, Jasper had his doubts. Pulling his knees inward, the younger male managed to lift himself from the floor, sitting with his back against the bed while his eyes sought out the form of his father to settle there. He was quiet for a time, just watching, as if the things that he could see around him were almost foreign. After a moment he finally cleared his throat in an attempt to speak up, motioning faintly to the empty 'bed' that he been made on the floor. "Where is Laruku?" He was almost afraid to ask, unsure if the older male had gotten better quicker or if he had gotten sicker and passed on. Just the thought of it frightened him. |
