LATER... bed rest, claus edition

[pkmachomega]

Some time later, Claus' eyes opened.

He didn't move for a moment, before letting his head roll to one side. There was Pit, lying in a hospital bed much like his own. There was a sharp pain in his chest at the sight. When he rolled his head to the other side, the first thing he noticed was that his damaged wing was being suspended. It was bandaged. A lump began to rise in his throat at the sight. Part of him. They were a part of him. He looked beyond the wing to see people milling around the general area of the infirmary. He croaked out, throat hoarse.

"Who..."

[things_go_boom]

"Hey." Lash stood on the opposite side of Lucas' family. She looked like a mixture of worried friend and confuse bystander who didn't know if she should be here at all.

"I dunno what happened but...uh..." she grinned a little. "Glad to know you're okay."

[pkmachomega]

"Lash... you're back."

Claus tried to smile, but it probably came out as a grimace. He hoped she got the point.

"... Welcome home."

[things_go_boom]

Home. You know, after carting these old ladies around and being overwhelmed with the stupidity and lunacy of Squareenix this place really did feel like home a lot more than anywhere else in her life.

She'd never say that aloud, of course, but merely smiled back and nodded, biting her lip so she didn't cry. That would be pretty lame right now.

[things_go_boom]

Eventually, she did speak again, and her tone wasn't as joyful. In fact she seemed pretty angry.

"I don't know who did this too you, but I'll find out. And then..."

It went without saying what she'd do. Lash wasn't the type to just talk to them.

[pkmachomega]

"Let's not think about that right now," Claus blurted, hurriedly. "I'm just glad you're here, sitting next to me. I'm sorry you came back at a time like this."

He looked down at his bandaged hands, frowning.

"It was... really eye opening."

[things_go_boom]

"Alright." She did want to think about it, but Lash wasn't the one in the bed right now, so she sank down lower between Claus and Pit's beds and crossed her legs.

"What do you mean?" she asked, softly.

[pkmachomega]

"I mean..." He couldn't believe he was saying this. He tried not to look directly at Lash, and lowered his voice so the sentiment stayed between them.

"... I'm really not human anymore, am I?"

[things_go_boom]

Lash did the only logical thing that came to her mind when faced with a guy who was in a hospital bed being sick and wounded.

She punched him on the shoulder.

"Don't say such stupid things." She warned him. "Or I'll show you what it's like to really not be human."

[pkmachomega]

And while it may not stop him from thinking about it in the future, it certainly worked in the present. Claus reacted appropriately, though luckily she punched him on the side that didn't feel like it had been lit on fire.

"Ugh!"

[things_go_boom]

That seemed to do the trick at least for now.

"Yeah that's what I thought." With a mischievous grin, she did also add. "'Sides, there's still a bunch of warehouses, if you know what I mean."

[pkmachomega]

Claus really did smile this time, a welcome feeling from the gloom that had been hanging over his head.

"... Yeah. I've got something to look forward to."

[things_go_boom]

"I'll make sure to pack nitroglycerin," Lash promised, moving back to her sitting position again. "Those make a bang-up job."

Okay, enough about that before her father or Lucas heard too much.

[pkmachomega]

Claus almost started to chuckle before realizing they were talking about blowing things up in a hospital ward. He shut his mouth, just shooting her a pleased look instead.

[things_go_boom]

Lash also looked pleased as punch. Hmmm.

Derp, later

::Oh hey what is that next to your bed. Is it... a slice of cheesecake?::

::Why, I think that it is. And is that a graham cracker crumb crust? No, not quite... it's... made out of nut cookie crumbs.::

::There's a little note, too. It reads:
"Hey Claus you didn't eat your cheese so I thought you might want something to eat when you feel better. I came in to visit but you were sleeping and I didn't want to wake you up. I'll be in later to see you when you're awake. - Duster." ::
