Two Ships

It was September 10th. It was only a few more days until it'd be Oliver's birthday which is why Delilah had taken up one of the night shifts now. She was originally supposed to work the night shift of Oliver's birthday, but that simply wouldn't do, especially since she was his date to his birthday party. Even if she wasn't his date to his birthday she needed the night off to go, so a couple months ago she had tried to book the day off, but it didn't work out too well, so she ended up switching shifts with Julian the son of Apollo that often doubled up as a DJ. Julian was a frequent night shifter and Delilah was a frequent day shifter here at the infirmary so being here when there wasn't that many people was something new for the brunette.

The daughter of Epione had just came back from checking up on a wing and going into the medical staff only section. It was there that she had seen Thurmond. She remembered when the two of them first applied to work here in the infirmary. It was a nerve wracking time, but it was one of the places that Delilah fit in the best given her natural abilities. They both got brought on, but Thurmond got trained by another demigod in the wing and Delilah had actually been trained by Julian, because at the time Julian had been working on day shifts, but as Delilah was trained he moved and shifted to night shift for awhile since it fit his schedule a little better.

"Thurmond!" She called out to him in a more hushed tone as to not wake anyone or alert anyone that was nearby. She walked up closer to him and smiled, "Everyone has been taken care of for the moment, but we'll have to listen for the call bell." Delilah said with a goofy smile slipping on her face, she had finished up their formalities, so then she started a different conversation, "How have you been? I feel like I haven't really seen you lately. I just see your initials in the book."

It had been a few days since everything went down. It had been an emotional time in so many different ways, so in a way coming back to work at the infirmary after her short leave was nice. She had to take the leave after everything that happened with her father and the traumatic event that it had caused, but Dr.Burke had okay'd her to come back to work. Delilah was excited and even more so to see Thurmond. It truly had been so long since the two had last seen each other, "Yeah, it's been quite awhile hasn't it? I feel like I almost don't recognize you anymore." Delilah said with a laugh at her silly little joke that she had made. It was good to have humor about the little things, or at least that's what her therapist had told her.

When he asked her about what had been going on with her lately she had to scan through her brain on the most normal thing she could bring up. So her dad committing a murder and being taken to jail wasn't one of them, although even if she wanted to talk about it she couldn't in such a public setting, it was too sensitive of information and could interfere with the case apparently. The ruled that topic out, then down the list was the fact she caught her old crush who was her best friend making out with their other friend and that blew up in so many ways. That was a strike through.

"Well, we got Oliver's birthday black tie event happening in a few days here. Invites were sent awhile ago. Are you going to go?" Delilah asked him, it wasn't the best topic of choice, but it was one of the most normal things she had going on in her life so far. Unless she wanted to talk about the birthday party she threw for Skye like a month ago, but that was completely old news at this point.
