..Maria?

[onepromisekept]

Are you... d... dorm, Shadow? Stay... it's v-very cold outside.

[chaotic_hero]

So I've noticed. But you're caught out there. I'm coming to find you. -haha, finally can turn human and is out the door before she can even begin to tell him "no"- Please, Maria...tell me where you are. You must stay awake.

[onepromisekept]

Th... The street o-on the way b... b-back to the *has to stop for a moment since her hand's shaking~ >: So blows some hot air on it before trying again* dorm. Don't wear yours-self out, please...

[chaotic_hero]

I won't, I promise. I'll be there as quickly as I can. -and, thanks to how fast he is...- Maria! -skids to a stop and kneels down beside her, putting his jacket over her- Honestly, what is this world thinking... -picks her up gently and holds her close to him- Perhaps we should go to the hospital. The cold can't be good for you.

[onepromisekept]

*shivering quite a lot even with the jacket and the body heat, so can't help but bundle in the jacket as much as possible and snuggle a bit closer, though she speaks up quietly* S-Sorry... I wish I could... could get better, then you...

[chaotic_hero]

-holds her as tightly as he dares to his body to keep her warm >:- Nonsense... -and starts on his way to the hospital, hurrying as fast as he can while using the jacket as a wind buffer- This isn't your fault, Maria. There is no need to apologize.

[onepromisekept]

*decides not to answer that since she feels that it's way too cold to speak, but manages to give a small "thank you" for the rescue, turning her face away from the wind and moving one hand to grip in his shirt*

[chaotic_hero]

-shakes his head and keeps his mind focused on his destination, arriving there slower than he'd like but at least getting there, getting Maria in from the cold and looking around for someone who might be up this late- I certainly hope there's a doctor around...

[onepromisekept]

*holds onto his shirt tighter as she lifts her head just a little to look around, though she soon ducks her head again to cough a few times* Ah, it's okay if... if they're not. We can j-just stay...

[chaotic_hero]

They allow that? -takes this as an invitation and starts looking for an unoccupied hospital room- I'll clear it up with them in the morning, then.

[onepromisekept]

*just nods a little and shivers more from the change of temperature of the room* I... th-thank you... ag-gain, Shadow... Sorry.

[chaotic_hero]

There is nothing to apologize for... -finds an open room and enters it, using one hand to pull back the covers and gently placing Maria on the bed, covering her then pulling off his shoes and climbing into bed to snuggle close to her- You can rest now, Maria. We're safe for the time being.

[onepromisekept]

*snuggles close as well since she's still cold and she feels safe since her friend's there with her~ >:* I hope... hope the d-doctors won't... m-mind...

[chaotic_hero]

I'm sure they'll understand in the morning. We had no other choice. -gently rubs her back- Please don't worry yourself. I'll take care of it.

[onepromisekept]

*looks up at him, not voicing her apology, yet it's still written all over her face* Okay...
