When Ryuuken (and Yami and that other strange guy whose name he didn't quite get) had left so abruptly a few days before, Isshin had to say he wasn't that taken by surprise - he had always been used to the man's sudden bouts of disappearance without warning, and was fine with it. It wasn't like he had resigned or anything, after all; had it been something like that, the man would have made it clear and official. Plus Ryuuken did know how to take care of himself, so he was of course not worried.

But he was however taken by surprise when he had returned with an unconscious Nena in tow - he had heard about it of course, but it had completely slipped his mind that Ryuuken had actually left to get her back. Not that it was too surprising, but still... Isshin had to admit that he had been somewhat taken aback. As much as he did want to ask Ryuuken what had went on, he knew that was best left for another time - his friend was trusting him to take care of her

Looking directly up at the man, his expression told her that he wasn't lying, at least. So. That confirmed it then. She was officially back 'home'. Although saying that he was glad to see her awake was... well, weird.

"Why are you glad?" She frowned at him. She had stolen a plane of the ship, after all. She wasn't even considering the fact that he may have known about why she'd left in the first place. Because there was no person on this continent that would feel positively towards her continued existence, should they know the truth.

No sane person, at any rate.

There was a pause as a confused look crossed Isshin's face at that question, but it soon dissolved into an easy grin as the doctor only let his chipper mood take over once again. "Why shouldn't I be glad? I was pretty worried that you might not wake up, after all!" Whoever Nena was, she was still his patient now - and really, nothing else mattered. All he did care was her health and current status, and to ensure that she was alright.

That was what a doctor's job really was.

And what would have happened, had she not woken up? While morbid, it was still an interesting thought. Who would care? Who wouldn’t? Who would be glad? But that wasn’t a question a human could know the answer to. Besides, there were more important things to find out. Her frown lessened, and she asked, “How long was I... asleep for?”

…Well, maybe the answer to that wasn’t quite so critical. But it would still be nice to know. She was sure that she’d missed enough as it was already.

ffffffffff. Also new thread to prevent stretchinggggg.

"Oh, are you sure about that?" Isshin went half-jokingly as he continued to poke around the bookshelf for a suitable book. "Everyone wants to meet the person of their dreams sometime or another now; there's no need to be shy about it, Trinity-chan!" No matter who or what the person was, the man did believe that everyone had a chance to love and to be loved. There was no one person why had to be all alone.

If he ever found such a person, he'd very well rectify that error himself no matter that it took.

"I'm... I'm fine. I don't need it." Well, she obviously wasn't fine, her drooping made that rather clear. It bugged and upset her, the idea of missing out on something that took up so much of people's lives. But again, she did not deserve it, and would force herself to live without.

The man let a somewhat dismayed look cross his face at those words.

"How could you say that now, Trinity-chan?!" the doctor started with a fair amount of (somewhat fake) shock in his voice. "Don't say that you don't need it - everyone needs a bit of love and concern!" It was a fact that Isshin believed in strongly - everyone needed that bit of concern and care to show that they mattered, that they did have a place in this world. Nobody was never not needed; somewhere, someplace, there was that special someone who would need them, even if they both would never know it until the time came. To say that one wasn't needed... it was almost blasphemous, really.

Nena averted her gaze and mumbled gloomily, "Not monsters." The girl believed wholeheartedly that this was what she was, and would remain convinced of it for a very long time. Loving herself had always been a tricky, confusing thing that she'd never quite understood, but the recent turn of events seemed to ensure that it would now never happen. And when one cannot love oneself, how can they truly accept and reciprocate the love of others?
