Jade, comfortably settled on his couch with a few choice medical journals, would later swear he sensed the encroaching doom prior to hearing it. If nothing else, his long years with Peony had attuned him to the pitter-patter of little hooves and their not-so-little pursuers

Okay, first of all : ow.

Second of all : Ow.

And third of all : OW.

Pain throbbed through his body as Luke contiuned to lie face first onto the ground, his chin hurting from the impact. Eyes screwed tightly shut, the redhead bit on his tongue to prevent him from making any too loud noises of pain as he willed the pain in his body to dissipate. It did, somewhat - the seventh fonons (unknown to Luke of course) in his body worked as they fixed the mild bruises upon him and the pain faded into a manageable throb.

The Erealian muttered a curse as he pushed himself up once that was done with, sitting on the floor as he glanced around to see where he was, finding the place rather unfamiliar. There was a couch, a bed... and the rappig settled down quite comfortably in the corner of the room and-- Luke jerked his head up when he saw a pair of legs from the closet and saw Jade Curtiss for the first time.

...well, not that Luke knew he was Jade, but that would be changed soon, at any rate.

Jade turned out of the supply closet, anapestic and bandages in hand, and smirked a bit at the slowly recovering red-head before him. "Anything broken~?" he asked, growing somewhat more amused.

Such a crash-landing - and the ensuing chaos - had certainly not been in his plan for the afternoon, but Jade knew that peace and quiet were a rare commodity, particularly in the medical bay. Traumatize rappig aside, however, the boy's clumsiness was a welcome and amusing change from the normal bullet wounds and high blood pressure so common on the Victoria II.

Luke pushed himself up into a sitting position on the floor, still rubbing at the healing bruise on his chin. He didn't have the best control of his fonon ability - Rin and Delita only taught him a little, but it was more for combat rather than anything else; Rin due to the circumstances they were in, and Deliat simply because they had been sparring. The redhead looked up at the doctor, the hand covering his chin as he gave the man his best scowl and snapped a response. "Of course I'm fine!" The bruise would heal - he certainly didn't need any help.

He then turned his attention to the rappig that was now quite happily huddling in the corner of the room in its self-made (and rather messy) nest of... things, blinking a few times in response. The Erealian wasn't aware that the animal even had a nest other than Peony's room. That sure was strange - Luke was pretty sure he would have remembered if the animal had a nest somewhere else. Not to mention it seemed pretty... at home here. "I didn't know Jade had another nest somewhere else..."
