The hospital room was, as hospital rooms typically were, sterile and bare, the walls a shade of stark white that gave off an unwelcoming impression to anyone who happened to visit. In the bed in the center of the room lay Yuan, his teal hair freed from its typical ponytail and fanned out on the pillow beneath him, the soft rise and fall of his chest the only indication of life. It was clear from his appearance that he was in a bad way. The markings had spread up onto the right side of his face, the deep purple color contrasting with the ashen shade of his skin. Every so often he would cough weakly and then grimace as if in pain.
Curled up next to him like an oversized cat lay Asch, green eyes regarding all visitors with suspicion. Initially he hadn't wanted to let anyone in; at last he relented under the condition that he be allowed to monitor any visitors Yuan might have. For now, however, he wasn't about to leave Yuan's side.
The room was silent aside from the sound of Yuan's labored breathing.
(OOC: Anyone involved in the Meltokio plot is free to visit at will; anyone else who'd like to come, just ask me first. ♥ There's no posting order since everyone should just do their own separate comment. Also, if you do anything to threaten or upset Yuan, be prepared to be chased out by a very angry Asch. XD)
