[Open] There's nothing to do here all just lie and complain in bed at the hospital

Who: Hyuuga Hinata and OTA
Where: Konoha Hospital
When: July 13 (late) to July 26th.
Notes: Polar Bear cub summons will growl at anyone who enters her room, you’ve been warned.

It’s late when Hinata comes to. At first she isn’t sure where she is, the shadows are wrong and the bed too lumpy, but it’s the smell of antiseptic that clues her in. She’s in the hospital. She remembers being impaled during an ambush after returning to the mainland from Yukigakure. She remembers the blade sinking in and her numb reaction as she stumbled back off the blade, blood seeping through her clothes, between her clutching fingers. She can’t feel any pain though and that is a little terrifying as she shoves her blankets away and tries to get into a position where she can pull her hospital shirt up and look at her stomach.

From the little light coming in through the window she can make out the outline of stitches. The wound at been too much for them to just heal. It would scar, but that’s hardly a problem, it isn’t her first nor will it be her last scar in the years to come. She prods at the area around the stitches and breathes a sigh of relief when the tender flesh throbs painfully. Falling back against her pillows, Hinata cheers a little inside and tries to find a comfortable spot so she might fall asleep again.

The snuffling sound near the edge of her bed though doesn’t really help, nor does the appearance of a pale snout over the edge and then a pair of larger claws. She has a vague feeling like she’s trapped in a really bad horror movie and then the snout nuzzles her cheek and she realizes it’s one of the cubs. She’d made her first summoning contract just before the ambush and the cubs had stayed with her even after being stabbed. She smiles at the bear and has to wonder how the heck did Sasuke convince the hospital staff to let them stay?

Lifting a hand she scratches behind his ears feeling oddly at peace now that she knew the bears were still here and not some creepy horror movie monster meant to finish her off. She’s perfectly content to allow the cub stay half on her bed nuzzling her face but the medic that comes in has other ideas and shoos him back to the floor, which earns him a growl. The medic checks her vitals asks her a few questions, changes her IV and leaves her alone again. The cub comes back, paces along the side of her bed before curling up as if he was guarding her.

She doesn’t have a chance to see if anything changes as she drifts off again, only to wake again when its morning, or at least daylight and both cubs are polishing off the remainder of what had to be the hospitals offering to their stomachs. Her nose wrinkles, it smells a bit like rotting fish. And it makes her stomach roll in protest, thank heavens there’s nothing in it.

He blinked, not sure for a moment that he heard her right. When the words didn't magically resolve into anything else though...

"Eh? I could have sworn I just heard you say something you didn't need to say. I mean, you have nothing to apologize for Hinata so that couldn't have been it, right?"
thebestuchiha: (That's not happy at all...)

He reached out and put her hand on his head. "You see the farthest, but that doesn't mean you should always be the one looking. Don't do this to yourself, understand? If you feel you need to improve, improve, but don't blame yourself for something like this. Done is done, got it?"
thebestuchiha: (Well you know....)

-dies because whoops-

Satisfied she was paying attention, he moved her hand and gave it a squeeze before resting it back on the blankets. "Okay good. I'll talk when you're looking a bit more alive soon, okay?"
thebestuchiha: (Well you know....)

He gave a soft laugh and a smile before petting her hair and getting up to go. "I'll see you soon."

He knew she was going to fall back to sleep soon enough, and headed for the door.
