[Anyone walking over the bridge that passes across the river next to the clinic might notice what looks like a body lying motionlessly on the muddy bank. Whoever it is, they're covered in mud, and it looks like their left hand is seriously injured, as blood has clouded the water around it a dark red

[Kamui is on his way to the clinic when he see him. He rushes over immediately.]

Are you alright!?

[He turns the muddy figure a bit to check for a pulse.]

Hey! Hang in there!

[And the head of the clinic to heal him, concentrating on the injured left hand.]

[sevenyearsgone]

[He groans weakly in reply, and winces when Kamui turns him over. Well, at least he's conscious.]

[broken_messiah]

[Frowns a bit as he keeps up the healing]

... are you hurt anywhere else?

[sevenyearsgone]

[Although he's still dazed, he coughs and nods, and holds up his right wrist. It's got a bracelet of dark purple bruises.]

[andallaretrue]

[To most people, yes. But Tia's heard some things about him from Ruto.

That and she's just generically interested in things along the shoreline.]

An' so another is returned, den.

[sevenyearsgone]

[Returned alright, but he sure don't look good. :<]

[andallaretrue]

[No, he doesn't. So she'll just be setting about hauling him out of the water.]

[sevenyearsgone]

[The movement makes him gasp in pain and clench his eyes shut, but he doesn't say anything. His arm continues to trickle blood out onto the grass.]

...

[chained_dog]

*after much deliberation a pause, will be at least pulling you from the river thar*

eeee Haine

[sevenyearsgone]

[o hay thanks! He sputters and groans in pained objection, but doesn't say anything else.]

...

|D

[chained_dog]

Ah, so you're not dead.

[sevenyearsgone]

[Nope, not dead. Just in pain, but thx.

He opens an eye to look up at the blurry person standing over him and frowns.]

[love_me_venus]

**Since everyone's already taken Link to the clinic, why not have Mina come across him at the clinic? She just dropped by on a whim, and, lookit! It'sa Link!**

H-Hey! L-Link! What happened!?

[sevenyearsgone]

[Link's laying in bed half-asleep, and opens his eyes to squint at the girl that'd arrived. Oh... what was her name? Minako, right? He'd met her right before they took him.

He feels a little too much like crap to smile, but he raises his good hand slightly to wave.]

[love_me_venus]

W-what happened to you Link!? Did... did those things take you?

[sevenyearsgone]

Yeah...

[Nods slightly, and then waves his hand again to try to comfort her.]

I'll be okay... don't worry about me.

[eidolon_soul]

[Have Rydia at the clinic? She wanders in, making a regular habit of volunteering ever since so many people were kidnapped. She peers around for something to do and--gasp.]

Link!

[She rushes over.]

You were gone so long, I thought you had returned to your world....

[Action]

[sevenyearsgone]

[He's busy staring up at the ceiling when a familiar face comes in. When he sees her his eyes light up the tiniest amount.]

Rydia...

[His voice is a raspy near-whisper but at least he's talking now.]

...how long was I gone for?

[Action]

[eidolon_soul]

[Rydia drags a chair over from the corner and sits beside him.]

Over a month. You were kidnapped around mid-June and it's early August, now. I heard it when it happened....

[She frowns and tries to concentrate, hoping the healing magic Nala taught her will help him, even by a little.]

[Action]

[sevenyearsgone]

[Anything like that will probably make him feel better. He closes his eyes again and sighs.]

Did they get Ruto and Sheik...?
