[RL with Kratos and Yuan: Hospital visit]

[xx_bloody_jack]

Yuan had slowly been recovering sine the goddess had visited, and Jacky had been keeping an eye on him to make sure things were well. Of course, the past few days she could do little being a dog. But she was back to normal now, which meant it was time to pay Yuan a visit again. Not that he didn't visit him enough, but he was getting better now and

Kratos had been intending to visit Yuan for some time now, but since Jacky had been affected by that virus, things had become problematic. Now she was back to normal though, and since they had both wanted to visit, now seemed like a perfect opportunity to do just that.

As Jacky led him through the corridors to the room where Yuan rested, Kratos found himself becoming increasingly nervous. Of course he was more than thankful that Yuan was recovering and had even supposedly woken up at times, but deep down he knew that that was what was bothering him. Before, Yuan couldn't say anything to him and Kratos could express himself however he wanted without fear of how his friend would retaliate. But now he didn't really know what to expect.

Kratos didn't have any time to dwell on it though. Jacky had already pulled him into the room with no hesitation.

As luck would have it, Yuan was in fact awake at the moment, though all he was doing was lying on his back and staring at the ceiling. Jade's refusal to forgive him had hurt him deeply, but he wasn't about to admit that to anyone. He didn't even plan on telling anyone about it if he could help it. It wasn't like they would care anyway. All he did was cause trouble for everyone else, that much was obvious.

Jade's reaction had driven home the fact that he couldn't expect forgiveness from anyone for what he had done. He knew that, even expected it, but it still hurt. Though that's nothing compared to what they must be feeling right now, he thought to himself. I did such horrible things to them...Another coughing fit caused him to grimace. This was really getting old quickly; although he knew he needed to get the miasma out of his body, his chest hurt from coughing so frequently. He just hoped it would be over soon

It was clear upon entering the room that Yuan was awake. That made Jacky all the happier. She had grown so worried when everyday she came by and he was sleeping. Seeing him awake really did wonders to cheer her up and give her hope that he would get through this okay. He was strong, she knew that. If anyone could do this, he could.

The decision to call for help seemed like a good idea now. The goddess had been so kind and so helpful. And Yuan was getting better now. Jacky was happy she could do something for him to make him better. She hated knowing what had happened to him and she still felt responsible for it.

Seeing that Yuan was awake, Jacky let go of Kratos hand and ran to Yuan's bed. Without a second's hesitation she leaned over and hugged him. Not too tightly in case he was still in pain, but tight enough.

"Yuan! You're awake!" She exclaimed happily.

Kratos stopped as Jacky let go of his hand and watched as she hugged Yuan. Although he wasn't one to show how he was feeling, at that moment Kratos couldn't explain the overwhelming relief he felt as he saw Yuan awake. He had really had his doubts about Yuan pulling through... he wouldn't have hesitated to intervene if he had to, but since he didn't understand what was wrong in the first place he still couldn't have been certain that Yuan would have recovered fully.

Still anxious about them meeting like this, Kratos remained where he was and allowed Jacky to take control of the situation. He wasn't even sure if Yuan would want them here in the first place... so he would watch and wait for now.
