Allison herself had been starting to relax, settled in this quiet moment as Klaus looks as if he’s ready to doze off while she runs her fingers through his hair, the sound of rain outside the window. For a moment she can almost forget that they’re in the hospital, that just an hour ago she had been a nervous wreck as she waited for her brother to wake up.
The nurse walking in brings it all back. The sight of the orderlies, of the cuffs makes Allison’s stomach flip, but instead she just looks outright annoyed and ready to step in. She doesn’t only because she doesn’t want to cause a scene in front of Klaus - he had warned her, after all - but the set of her jaw and her shoulders makes it very obvious that she is most definitely not okay with any of this. Especially when the nurse looks annoyed at Klaus’ comment. And, while sure, she doesn’t doubt that he can come across as annoying in a situation like this she she’s just trying to do her job, Allison is too protective of her brother to be okay with even the wrong look in his general direction right now.
She waits for them to be alone again before she speaks, letting her temper simmer.
It doesn’t work.
To Klaus, though, she’s able to keep her voice controlled. As if this is normal between them. “I’m going to talk to your doctor, give me just a few minutes, okay? I’ll be right back.” She pauses before her hands move towards the cuffs, giving him a pointed look. “Don’t unhook the IV. Just wait here, I’ll get this straightened out.”
