[There's a stillness that fills the room as the PCD turns on, the camera aimed directly at the bed located in a room at the clinic. The sheets are stained and bloody, an obvious sign that someone who had been gravely hurt had once laid there. However hurt they might have once been,

And Riku has just woken up in a nearby room, so he definitely wants to. Surely Unohana would understand.
He's still sick and recovering from his attack, but Ukitake only feels it's right to go see Riku in person, especially after not being there when Riku woke up. So he stands in the doorway and waits to be noticed.]

But there was another aura in the room, one he knew and recognized. A small smile cross his features as he straitened, turning to look at the other over his shoulder.]
You look terrible.

[Although Riku is right. Ukitake is still much paler than usual and seems to be more frail in his posture. This attack has been particularly hard on him and with all the stress added in, he's only been able to take so much at one time.]
How are you feeling?

I think how you're feeling is more important.
[He straightens further, pushing his hair back away from his face. The scar on his forehead is more easily seen without his bangs there to hide it, but it's a small price to pay.]
How long was I gone?

[Best greeting ever. You'll never get a better one, Riku.]

[Sarcasm, it comes back so easily.]
It's my weapon. I'd show it to you, but it's probably out collecting rust in the waste.

Tsk. It's not gonna be easy to find it back out there. Or does it have a special function that has it beeping when you're close enough to it?

[God. Damn. It. He's tried to summon it, but it won't come back to him. Which means one of two things. His death price was having it's power taken from him, or someone has it and it's staying there because that person's heart is strong enough to bear it's weight until they can give it back.]
No. Usually when I summon it, it appears in my hand. [Which means...
Sigh.]
I'll look for it when I leave.

[It's a drawing of Riku with his weird sword, saving the day! There's some smiling people drawn around him, as well.] That's you... and these are the people who are so happy, 'cos you saved them!
And you know what, Riku? You know what?? I love you, too! [She smiles happily.]

Taking a couple of deep breaths, he finally manages to school his face back into one of happiness, even if there's still a hollowness in his chest that he can't ignore.]
It's wonderful, Bubbles. Save it for me, okay? I'll get it when I come and pick you up.
[Even if that is far from the way things happened.]
Are you being a good girl for Juliet?
Reply
Yes! I'm being very, very good! Tybalt hurt himself when he was saving Juliet from being missing and we've been helping him feel better! I've been doing my best to be helpful!

I'm sure you've been a big help.
[She always was with him, anyway.]
Make sure you listen to Juliet, and don't go out after dark, okay?

Holy shi-
[Yes, yes. He's jumping up from his seat, almost trips and turns and Riku! There is no avoiding this hug Riku, and even if he's mindful about it and careful, he's not letting go.]
I missed you so much...really, a-and....Sango has your keyblade. Don't worry about it. Just, stand still a minute. Please.....?
[Indulge him for once Riku?]
Reply
Get off of me, you idiot.
[His hands land on the other's shoulders and shoves. He's takes another deep breath, lifting his hand and pressing it against his ribs.
After a few minutes he looks at the other, bright green eyes calmer.]
I wasn't gone that long. Consider it payback.
Reply
Sorry....i was just really happy to see you.
[His hands fall to his sides, waiting and he gives him as big a smile as he can manage.]
And it felt like forever....
Reply
[He straightens, sighing at the relief it brings to his stinging ribs.]
What did you tell Bubbles?
