Sylvi gets a text

She checks her phone. ((still in the hospital room?))

TXT: My mom's here. just a headsup.

(Sure?)

THat from Siv

TXT: Finally! You need us to clear out?

TXT: Probably 😞 They're enforcing that visitor cap hard

TXT: Sorry. Feel like a #$#$# and you two have been great

TXT: It's all good! Just glad Piper's up and around. That was my mission!

TXT: Mission accomplished

TXT: Listen tho, watch out for one of the nurses. Caillean. She's trouble. Tell you more later.

TXT: Watch out for one of the lady doctors, bit on the cold side. more on that later.

Rikki looks up "Sup?"

TXT: Noted. We'll catch up later. Wanna see the kids next time!

TXT: will! Bye!

She says, "You and I are on the way out. We need to make room for other visitors, and I'm okay with that." She starts packing up her gear.

"What a crock, after all I've done to them" She pauses "For them" Then she makes a gesture and the effigy first turns into..well, that mistake then? It dissolves

"I know, I'd like to spend more time with them too, and see the babies, but I'm just glad we were able to help them for now. We'll see them more later."

"Oh, Siv says one of the doctors is really gray, so watch out."

"mmph" A worried look, but she's following then aa frown "Doctor Gray eh? Noted. This si why we have Dirk right?"

"Hmmm...good point. We should totally get him in on this."

"What could possibly go wrong?"

Rikki grins "I knew you weren't ALL bad"

And they slip out of the room

Sylvi keeps an eye out for Caillean, with the goal of avoiding her.

No sign of Cairrean in the halls as they head out.

((Oops))

Soon, the two are heading to the hospital parking lot, though Rikki eyes the gift shop

Flowers, stuffed animals, cards, snacks....

Sylvi catches the look. "Don't. I don't want to get banned."

A huff but she behaves

An attendant offers to validate their parking on the way out, and mentions when visiting hours start again the next day.

"Thanks!" Sylvi says with a smile, offering the parking ticket.

Stamped!

Rikki waves to the parking attendent and then when they are alone, she says to Sylvi "You're coming back aren't you?"

"I think so," she says, "but possibly not tomorrow. It depends. But I'm sure somebody else can bring you if I can't. Maybe my mom."

"I got ways gilr, and... remember wht I said about mom management"

"Yes, Sensei," Sylvi says with a wink.

And with that, Piper's room is available for new visitors
