The headache  left, after that first night. She'd thought it might only be overdoing it with some of the shielding exercises, or perhaps her eyes were telling her to take a study break.
But it came right back like an annoying telemarketer, when she woke, and this time was worse. She felt as if a knife was jabbing through her skull and down her neck.  Her stomach also turned rebellious.  Pain, vomiting,  double vision... It was hard for her to think clearly. Right.  Out we go. 

She made herself get up and walk downstairs from room 216, hand tight on the railing as she descended. Twice she stopped until her vision cleared.  Not now, thanks, we'll pass out later, she  thought fuzzily as she made her way toward the Infirmary entrance. 
Friendly faces are welcome(or unfriendly for that matter), but be cautious of startling her. She's on edge, too, to say the least.

"Okay." He looks Sooraya over as well as he can, assessing visible symptoms. "What's wrong?"

[dust-to-order.livejournal.com]

She hesitates, then nods shortly and puts her veil aside to look him in the eyes, as best she can. "Headache, bad enough that...I was afraid I'd pass out, a minute ago. It started yesterday, let up but then came back worse.
I can't see clearly; double vision, and blurring. Then nausea and dizziness." She touched a spot beside her right eye.

He nods. "Any fever? Stiff neck?"

It sounds like possible meningitis, with what she's told him so far.

[dust-to-order.livejournal.com]

"Not fever...neck's painful at times, jabbing pains, but not stiff." She shifts, glancing at Muldoon out of the corner of her left eye. The right? Not moving with the other. Her pupils are dilated, if one looks closely.

He notices the discrepancy with her eyes, and frowns.

"Have you been around anyone with similar symptoms? Or suffered a head injury recently?"

No way to be sure which it is, from just this.

[dust-to-order.livejournal.com]

"Um. No, I don't think so? No one who's said, if there was." She winces.
"Um. No," less certainly. Something's
half-remembered, but she can't fix a date on it. Training, and then--

[qsilver-md.livejournal.com]

He catches the uncertainty, and looks at her carefully. "Are you sure?"

[dust-to-order.livejournal.com]

A longer pause. "No," flatly. "I've been training here, and before that--was on combat duty at home. I remember most times I've been hurt. There's been times I got bruises or fell,recently, but nothing like this." That much, she's sure of. "But Allah...[I? can't think when]." "Hard to think, when the last time was."

[qsilver-md.livejournal.com]

"That might be a sign of something amiss all by itself", he points out. "If you're having trouble thinking clearly. I need to run some tests to be sure what's wrong." He nods to the infirmary door. "Can you walk?"

She doesn't seem at all well, really, and he suspects she might not be able to.

[dust-to-order.livejournal.com]

Sooraya's stubborn. So, she'll try. She's still dizzy, but she stands, one hand gripping the table's edge.

Kevin stays close, ready to catch her if she looks like falling, and nods to Muldoon to take her other side.

[dust-to-order.livejournal.com]

The gesture's appreciated, and she manages a weak smile for them despite everything.
