"I'm not a fucking invalid, Shaun." He doesn't deserve her snapping at him. He's just trying to help. But her head hurts and it's winding her up and Shaun might not deserve it, but he'll take it, and he'll understand.

And it would help. Except she'd be bored out of her mind and feeling like the weak and helpless maiden people of this particular era would probably expect and no. For the moment, at least, her pride is stronger than her pain.

Besides, there's no way she'd lie down without Shaun there to keep her safe and while she knows he'd do it, she also knows that despite how much he's complaining, he hasn't had this much fun in weeks. She's not gonna take that from him. Not while she can still manage the pain.
