[It's been four days since this incident took place, and now Yuan's finally fully regaining consciousness. The first thing he notices is a pounding headache. Roughly ten seconds later, he realizes his surroundings aren't quite what he expected to see. He's lying virtually face-down in a bed in the clinic. Peculiar, because last he remembers, he'd

[Imagine the look on her face two days ago when she walked into this 'empty' room and Yuan was in it.

It's full now. And we can't resist the chance to talk to him when he's all incapacitated like that. It would go against tradition. So here, have a visitor.]

At least you're not sleeping on your face anymore.

[And of course he'd encounter Sheena here. There's no avoiding this girl when he's sick or injured. He raises an eyebrow at her remark.]

What's that supposed to mean?

[action]

[corrinesbell]

What it sounds like. The last time I was in here you looked like you were trying to eat the pillow.

[Don't worry, he'll get her back eventually]

[Yuan leans back against the headboard, crossing his arms.] So did you just come to gloat?

[She doesn't see his note immediately - after all, it's technically the second day of school, and a certain amount of time needs to pass before a reasonable break, especially with the organization taking place.

Eventually though, during lunch, Raine sees the note and leaves one in response.]

So you've finally woken up. I'm... at the school right now, and I'll be here for a few more hours. I'll stop by once classes are over.

[fortunefail]

Take your time.

[Yuan isn't exactly going anywhere. In fact, if he dozes off again, the rest of the school day will pass in the blink of an eye.]

[Oh why did it have to be raining today. At least it wasn't - storming. Not yet. But that's not important.

Eventually sometime after classes are over and any additional questions there are taken care of, Raine makes her way over to the clinic. She had been planning on stopping by there, anyway.]

[She'll find Yuan where he was left four days ago. He's sitting up, flipping through his journal to see if there's any mention of Emil these past few days. He still faintly remembers what he did, though he's curious to see if someone's already found the core and undone the damage.]

[Have a Grune! She wanders in, humming to herself, and she's carrying a bouquet of wildflowers.]

Oh my, hello! Isn't it a lovely day?

[fortunefail]

[Yuan watches her curiously for a few seconds, before assuming she must be a new clinic volunteer. With all the New Feathers that've been arriving, there must've been a handful of healers as well. Then he casts a quick glance out the window.]

... Isn't it raining?

[lostinmyway]

[She looks puzzled by this.]

Oh, is it?

[action]

[fortunefail]

Yes, it is. [It's a bit hard to miss, actually. This woman must be pretty out of it.]

[Let's get the obvious question out of the way.]

How did you manage it? [Because there is no WAY people like them can find inner peace.]

[Yuan would like to avoid telling the full story if he can help it. Because, let's face it, "a wolf came out of nowhere and yanked Aku's essence out of me" doesn't sound entirely dignified.]

I believe the correct term is exorcism.

[salvationfound]

[Ah. Well. That's certainly more believable than the other option. But still, ouch.]

I see.

Are you faring well?

[Written/Filtered]

[fortunefail]

Apparently, I was out cold for nearly four days.

[ Here's Cooro, wandering into the room. He's been coming in and out every so often since he'd heard Yuan'd been hurt. He hasn't really been sure what to do about it, but he wants to make sure his guardian is okay. He brightens to see he seems to be at least somewhat living. ]

You woke up!

[fortunefail]

[A smile appears on Yuan's face when he spots Cooro. He's been a little concerned, because leaving the kid in Zoisite's care? That may not have been a bright idea.]

Cooro.

[lilblackfeather]

[ His smile grows when he sees that Yuan is smiling. That is a very good sign. ]

You're looking a lot better! Do you feel okay?

[fortunefail]

[Looking a lot better? Oh boy, just how many people stopped by while he was out cold?]

I'm fine. Just a bit tired.
