September 22nd, 1890 — St. Mungo's
Despite her excitement to celebrate Jesse's birthday preemptively, Fallon was still somewhat thrown by Lachlan's behavior last night. She had lain awake for a few hours after his departure trying to make sense of it all, but still came up with more questions than answers. The way he left proved she had offended him somehow, likely with her awkwardly phrased question, but why hadn't he said anything, then? Why had he felt the immediate urge to leave? If they were only friends then any touch shared was inconsequential in the end, wasn't it?
Fallon carried her basket throughout the hospital, its enchanted belongings rattling within the confines, with a determination to put Lachlan and her confusion out of mind. Jesse would be going home sooner or later, and once there she wouldn't be able to see him at all. Not with his mother hovering about as he claimed she would be. Fallon didn't blame Mrs. Hatchitt, of course. Any sane and kind mother would do the same. She just selfishly wished for more time with her beau.
"Happy birthday," Fallon announced brightly as she let herself into his hospital room without knocking. Her plan wasn't as well thought out as she might've liked, but having only days to arrange it rather than her usual weeks Fallon had to make do. She dropped the basket on the nightstand and leant down to kiss his unbruised cheek. "How was your day today?"
Without waiting for his response, Fallon used her wand to first lock the door to his hospital room, then to charm the ceiling into becoming a star filled night. The walls were charmed as well to become tall trees set with a fake bonfire on the wall opposite his bed. They couldn't explore the wilderness scape like she might've wished to, but it had to be something better to look at than hospital walls. "Figured you must be going stir crazy," she offered with a grin. There was dinner, snacks, juice (that would've been wine were he not on pain potions), and cocoa remaining in the basket still.
