dude he's like in a coma

[tenwholeryou]

Characters: Kotarou, visitors
Format: any
This log is: open
Location: one of the infirmary rooms.
Summary: After this battle, Kotarou is transferred to the infirmary to recover from his Exaclan-induced coma. This log covers the three days he's out, and his waking up after that. Depending on 'when' you visit, he might not respond, but feel free to mingle around the unconscious kid.
Warnings: moar trauma. Copious angst. Possibly people will get punched.

The room is small, one of the minor rooms set aside for students who aren't in the infirmary for a scraped knee or a cold. There are several metal chairs scattered around the room, as well as a single table and a curtain that can be pulled around the bed if need be. The bed itself swamps the boy lying in it, with white sheets and a faded green coverlet; a monitor is within reach on the bedside unit. It beeps every minute, on the dot, to let the nurse know his charge is still alive. Despite this and the drip in his arm, visitors are assured that he will wake up with no negative side-effects within a few days.

"T-thanks..." A slow blink before it clicked; he finally looked down at the jewels and flushed. It felt a little dishonest to be taking something for... but it was a gift, and the knight didn't seem to mind. Wasn't he friends with a lot of people? He could afford this. That must be it. His fingers closed over them with much less reluctance, and he nodded once, almost into a bow. With these, he could be a lot more reliable.

Which left:

"Us?" Kotarou stared at Huashi, wide-eyed. "But I can't fight."

Huashi shook her head and grabbed the hand that wasn't holding all the new gifts.

"Doesn't matter! If you want to, I'll teach you to fight with a staff... and a sword, too, but I only know swords that are closer to what Ichi's is. But you don't have to, if you don't want to." She paused here to stare at him. She knew how to fight, had trained long and hard with several different weapons, but that was not for everyone.

"If you don't want to, you don't have to, but I... I'd like it if you wanted... To be linked with me," Huashi said quietly, keeping the nervous smile that wanted to erupt under strict guard. Kotarou would do as Kotarou wanted, but she hoped he wanted to be linked.
