This is... ridiculous. That was a lone fact that kept repeating itself. Over and over and over and over. A broken record, and yet, somehow, that was all the had Squall hanging for a moment. He himself... couldn't explain it. No. He could. He could explain all of this logically. He was in the infirmary because of an injury. Blood loss, more so. Bed rest, vitamin B 12, iron supplement to get him on his feet faster. Simple. Logical. Boring.
Half-drifting off somewhere, trying to make himself sleep to pass the time, the young man blinked, brows dipping when he focused on the source of the noise intruding on his solitude.
The only thought that could run through his mind: What now?
Possibly someone else to check on him. Fine. Let's get it over with, he mentally ( ... )

Hovering near the bed, but not too close, she folded her hands in front of her, choosing to speak first, before tending. He really had no choice on that front, as she was determined to get him better, objections or not. "How are you feeling?"
At least, he hadn't thrown her out. Given the last time they'd spoken, it was less than ideal, and then he had vanished, she'd been concerned he might. And with no real reason to think he wouldn't recognize her, the little that he had before, she took it as a step in the right direction.

To what extent he couldn't help but wonder.
Squall frowned at Raine and Laguna, studying their faces in turn, trying to match them to any he might have seen before. No. Nothing. The urge to ask them what they wanted cropped up a little strongly. More than was probably necessary. Now wasn't the time for it-- he could afford, at least, right now, to be a little polite...
Mouth still a hard set line, the SeeD moved his gaze back to Raine. "Fine," he stated. Not entirely far from the truth. Squall still ached, perhaps still a little on the bandaged side. Just how badly it remained, Squall didn't know.
Largely, he was just confused as to who these people were, when he really just... would have liked some space, to be left alone for the time being.

She stepped closer and stated the reason she came. "I'm here to take care of you." No-nonsense, and not about to take no for an answer either. "I'll check your bandages first, change them if they need it, and then we'll see about the rest. You'll need to eat too, if you haven't already."
While she reached out with one hand to start checking over Squall's shoulder, she glanced at the nearby cabinet. "Laguna, open that up and see what's in there. I need to know what I've got to work with."
