[Video | Filtered but not locked] The return

[mercury_gaze]

[Woo comes on, showing Jendayi sitting in a hospital bed.  For those that know...she shouldn't be alive.  Yet here she is, looking uncertain and confused.]

[Woo will ping Lea, but she doesn't have him lock the feed...she doesn't really think to, ah well.]

Lea?  I want to come home now. [She's been told she's we'll enough to if she wants, and she certainly does.]

[Woo then pings Drift and Jetstorm.]

Jetstorm?  Drift?  Thank you for helping me.  I...I'm okay. [If you were wondering.]

[And finally Woo pings Gunmax.]

Gunmax...?  Are...are you okay? [She...never saw what happened to you...]

[He nods.]

Then I can be there as soon as possible.

[He's not really sure about hugs still, but she's a human child. With strange ears. And she died somehow. And he can't not honor her request. So he's gonna hurry himself to the hospital and do some looking around, ask a few questions, and eventually find himself to her room.]

[He'll knock, though, before he considers entering.]

Jendayi?

[action!]

[mercury_gaze]

[Nope, not gonna call a “come in”. When she hears his voice she gets up and opens the door....and about falls against him in a hug. For as tiny as he is, she’s still smaller. The tiny child wraps her arms around him, face against his shoulder]

Thank you for coming. I’m glad you’re okay.

[aaaaaa]

[still_learning]

[That's a surprise. Quite a surprise. Enough so that he just stands there in shock for a moment, looking at her, watching her snug in against him, and he's not exactly sure what to do for a moment.]

I am... glad you are okay now as well.

[He remembers to move then, and those hands end up carefully settled on her shoulders.]

[~<3]

[mercury_gaze]

[She just might cling, okay? Okay.]

Me too. I'm glad you're okay too.

I'm sorry that was your welcome to this place.

[such sweet gon die]

[still_learning]

[He won't push her away, even though this is a little awkward for him. Those hands stay right where they are, and he's careful not to pinch her with his thick armor.]

It is nothing I cannot handle. I am more concerned for you. That must have been so awful for you.

[I will revive you if you do.]

[mercury_gaze]

It was terrible, but I’m okay. I’m...I’m okay. I really don’t remember much of what happened. It’s all fuzzy until waking up here again. [And that...empty feeling, like something’s missing and she can’t quite put her finger on what...]

[aaaaa okay]

[still_learning]

[That's more than a little disturbing and worrying, but he doesn't know how even to begin to diagnose a missing memory in an organic, and he's not sure where Paian went, or if this is even normal for someone who was dead.]

Perhaps you should lie down. I can help you to your bed.

Re: [aaaaa okay]

[mercury_gaze]

You’ll stay with me, though? [At least for a little bit? She will shift back and if he tries to guide her to the bed, she’ll go.]

[still_learning]

[If she wants to go to sleep now, he most certainly won't try to get in the way of that. He'll follow her and help her into bed if she needs it.] Yes. I will stay.

[mercury_gaze]

[She'll curl up on the bed...just looking at him for now. She'll reach a hand out to him.]

[still_learning]

[True to his word, he hasn't tried to move away from her since she curled up in bed. That little hand comes out for him and he'll reach right back.]

Are you sure you are not hurt? Is there anything more I can do?

[mercury_gaze]

I’m not hurt. [Well...not anymore, technically.]

I just don’t want to be alone right now...

[still_learning]

Okay. I can stay as long as you need. I would like to stay.

[mercury_gaze]

[She’s just gonna hug his arm and go to sleep. A nurse will be in after a bit to rescue Jetstorm from the sleeping child. He’s free to go or stay now as he desires. The nurse will assure him that Jendayi will be okay if he leaves.]

[still_learning]

[This is... strangely cute. When the nurse shows up, he'll opt to stay a little while longer, then quietly, carefully see his way out after making sure she's good and warm. Humans like to be warm when they sleep, right? Though, he does feel bad for leaving her alone, so he'll leave a little note for her for when she wakes up.]
