Description: The doctors and nurses are scrambling throughout the clinic to help with the sudden influx of patients.

The first casualties of the invasion started to limp their way in not long after the zombies and familiars began attacking people in the city. Fortunately there are a few concerned citizens doing their best to protect the clinic from being overrun while those within worked frantically to help anyone who was injured. Despite the desperate situation, the clinic personnel have so far been keeping their calm and working professionally to help any and all injured who come through their doors.

Well, to be honest I never added up the figure, but I'm sure it's at least a hundred...

[A sigh and she leans back against the pillows--partly to be dramatic, but mostly because sitting up was starting to irritate her bruises and become painful.]

Ah, and here I thought we had a meaningful relationship starting, but you're only putting up with me because you owe me money... I see how it is now.

[wildest]

[Damn, he can't keep this up for long. Kotetsu's either going to cave in or start laughing and neither of those will give him a victory in this odd little competition they're having.]

You're not even keeping track? And here I was thinking you were a real nice and responsible kid, but you're assuming things? And putting words in my mouth? For your information it's more than that. What we've got is just obvious.

[And he points at the top of her hat-adorned head.]

You're helpin' me not use up money to buy a hat rack.

[cursemarked]

I'm not a kid! [She's not even sure herself if she's actually offended or not.

...But it's hard to keep that up too when he goes and says ridiculous things like that. she grabs one of the pillows and chucks it at him with a laugh] You're terrible!

[wildest]

[Even with how worn out he is and the lack of one useful arm Kotetsu still manages to snatch up the pillow as it hits him, albeit with a slight wince afterwards. His muscles aren't exactly ready for anything requiring quick reflexes just yet. Instead of giving it back he just decides to cling onto it cheerfully, almost like a child.]

No way, you started it! Besides, you're what, not even half my age? If you're hungry I can go see if they've got some small carrots and apple sauce for you. I'll even get you some warm milk with one of those straws that bend. The ones with the colors.

[Digging his grave as he speaks.]

[cursemarked]

[...Okay that was actually kind of impressive, she wasn't expecting him to move so well. She finds her self mid-clap before she catches herself and drops her hands back to the bed.]

I don't think I'm talking to you anymore, you're going to hurt my feelings. Your hat is mine until further notice.

You can keep the pillow as compensation though, if you want. [Trying so hard not to smile]

[wildest]

[Huffing as he gently rests his chin atop the pillow, eyes glancing up to the hat before being directed back at her.]

Oh come on. I was messing around! How about we trade instead. How else are you gonna get any proper rest around here without a pillow? Looks like you need it more than me anyways, and my hat's not any kind of substitute for that.

[Which means he's very much aware of Rei's condition still.]

[cursemarked]

[She looks down at herself a moment, frowning at the visible bruises like they're all that's wrong with the world before returning her attention to him.]

Thank you for your concern, but I'll be keeping the hat. The nurses can get me another pillow, I'm sure.

[And then, because she's a little worried he might actually get mad with her, she adds] I'll give it back to you the next time we run into each other.

...Maybe. [okay she couldn't help herself]

[wildest]

[All the pouting against this pillow.]

Mean... [Though as Kotetsu's gaze falls down to his lap his wristwatch comes into sight, causing his little childish act to stop.]

--well if that's the case then maybe I should just head off back to the apartment so we can get a little closer to that "next time".

[cursemarked]

Yes, go home and rest, Kotetsu. [There is the beginnings of a Mom Voice there and she looks to him disapprovingly] And try not to injure yourself anymore, or at least be careful not to make it worse.

[A pause and she can't help but smile faintly, her voice genuinely touched] Thank you for cheering me up. You always seem to make my day a little better.

[wildest]

[He's tempted to stick his tongue out at her right as he stands but instead all he does is take the pillow in his hand and tosses it onto her lap, turning his nose up into the air like a haughty child.]

Of course not, I'm absolutely careful with everything I do. All I gotta do is get at least an hour of rest and then I'll feel as good as new.

[Combing his hair back into some order with his fingers, Kotetsu's eyes drop to look over her injuries once more and the mischievous glint fades away, a more concerned and caring one replacing it as his gaze moves to her face.]

You take care of yourself too, I mean it. [There's a hint of his own equally demanding Dad Voice, but it's a temporary change as soon enough he's back to that carefree and light tone, smiling slightly.] And you're welcome. After this talk I think it's safe to say this day wasn't a total bust for either of us. Right?

[cursemarked]

Kotetsu. [ONE HOUR ISN'T GOING TO CUT IT MISTER.

She places the pillow behind her where it belongs, completely missing Kotetsu checking her out wounds, but she does look back in time to catch the look and tone.

There's a soft 'ahha' of amusement and she smiles] Of course. I'll probably lay down for a while once you leave anyhow. [Her eyebrows raise as if to say 'happy with that?' and she smiles]

Right. I even got a new hat out of this meeting. [...The smile turns a little cheeky then and it's all Rei can do not to start laughing] Have a nice rest of the day, Kotetsu.
