10. [Action] (slightly backdated)
[Towards the end of the break, when supplies are running low all round, is it any wonder the people working at the infirmary have chosen to prioritise the cadets who aren't going to head back to the Island and get themselves injured again in a maximum of a few days? And, for that matter, the cadets less inclined to vocally and incessantly gripe when they take longer to patch him up than he was hoping, which is to say five seconds.

Dammit, dammit, dammit...
[He sits back in the bed and, frustrated, thumps his right fist against the wall. It rattles alarmingly loudly. For once, he's glad it's not that arm he currently has trussed up in a sling, given the lack of decent mechanics around Garden... but knowing the medics could fix a broken bone pretty damn quickly doesn't help him in the slightest if they aren't doing it right now.
He hangs his head.]
No two ways around it. [He raises his voice slightly.] Guess I'll just have to bust out of here myself.
[Is he joking? It's really hard to tell.]

[She reluctantly agrees, giving him a last look before turning and leaving to check on other patients.]
