[Closed/Open] Oh, mercy me..
Who: Kakashi & Gai, and OPEN to those who want to witness his recovery. B^|
When: May 11-19
Where: The outskirts of Konoha, then Konoha Hospital.
11th | closed to MAITO GAI [ Pakkun is not the fastest of the pack by a long shot, but he still makes it back to Konoha in record time; which probably speaks volumes about his level of loyalty and worry in this particular circumstance. He locates Gai quickly by following the man's memorable scent to a familiar haunt, and alerts him to the state of his master without another breath more than to exchange the shortest of greetings. All he knows is what he saw before he left -- that Kakashi had been ambushed, poisoned, that his foe was a formidable one, and that he will need Gai's support soon.
They set off instantly, Pakkun racing ahead to lead Gai to the field where he'd left his master. The trail is reasonably inconspicuous until the tell-tale signs of a tussle begin to appear; first with scuffs in the dirt track, then with scorches in the grass, then flecks of blood and strayed senbon... Pakkun follows the trace of Kakashi's scent to a shroud of tree-cover where the man had been dragged out of sight, and was now propped up slightly against a tree. He looks to be out cold, but his chest doesn't seem to be shifting with the movement of any kind of breath, and Bull is snuffling worriedly at the man's slightly drooping plume of silver hair. There is a dried stain of blood smeared against the mouth-region of his mask, and even though his eye-patch has been roughly pulled down a trickle of the same streak of scarlet is visible running from underneath it, seeping into the fabric. Senbon lay beside various puncture wounds littering his body, and Shiba explains that they pulled them out to sway any further poison, but that Kakashi keeps swimming in and out of consciousness regardless. Then Akino holds out the vial of antidote they were gifted by their masters' attacker. ]
'Gotta use this on him.'
[ The dogs watch on; hopeful, expectant, worried. ]
12th, possibly evening of the 11th if you're that desperate | open to all [ He doesn't like the hospital. He's seen the inside of one too many a pale painted room, and stared up at one too many dull and faded ceiling to have any emotion toward the establishment other than inherent distaste... but for once he has checked in wilfully and without the slightest inclination of complaint. His stay is incredibly convenient, and -- dare he say it? -- comforting. His body has never ached like this, never strained with the same kind of physical anguish he's currently experiencing, and he curses all the times he complained about chakra exhaustion because this pain pales in comparison. Even though he can still move around like this he's pretty certain he'd take the chakra exhaustion in a heartbeat. The feeling of a leaden head and rusted limbs is one he wouldn't wish on his worst enemy.
But luckily for him, the luck of his façade makes that pipe-dream a reality. He's sworn the medics to withhold their secrecy, and the same for his rescue team, so as far as those closest to him are concerned the familiar ache of chakra exhaustion is all he has to complain about for the moment.
For the most part he remains reasonably well behaved; no attempted escapes, no secret midnight push-ups on his thumbs when the nurses aren't looking; just a steadily healing patient. He reads quietly, eats regularly, keeps his conversation polite and quiet. He seems... distant. He's thinking about something though it isn't clear what.... but he seems to be recovering well, and his exterior presents a content man. ]
feel free to ask me for a personal top level, or give me your own! kakashi will be in hospital from when gai drops him off all the way up to the 19th at slowly climbing levels of wellness and could probably use the company....

13th, mid/late morning
As it was, on arrival at Kakashi's bedside, she put down her basket with a dull thunk and started pulling up the chair right up next to him. But she didn't sit just yet. Her hands stayed curled on the backrest.]
Kakashi... You look terrible, all wrapped up like that, y'know. What did you do to yourself?
no subject
As far as he's aware, the village at large is comfortably under the impression that all he's suffering from is a little chakra exhaustion, so at Kushina's concern he simply lifts his hand to wave away her words. ] It's not as bad as it seems. [ He feels like he's saying that an awful lot lately. ] I just got caught up in a little scuffle while crossing the border. Please, sit down.

You know you don't have to be that formal with me, right? Here, I brought some tea with the food. I didn't think the hospital food's changed much recently, so I thought I'd make sure you were getting stuff with more flavor. I'd like to think it'll help cut down on your recovery time. Any idea how much longer you'll be in here? Chakra exhaustion doesn't seem too bad and a night or two of good rest and good food should be enough to fix you up.
[She gave him a wink as she poured out half a glass of tea to hand over to him.]
Just try not to push yourself too hard, yeah?
[Maybe. Just maybe she was silently keeping an eye on him despite the easy smiles and overt jabs at the hospital food. It seemed to be shinobi habit to downplay any injuries. She'd done it, Minato had done it, pretty much every person who trained and served as a ninja she knew had done it. But if she couldn't pick on anything, maybe he would be out sooner rather than later.]

I'll do my best. [ He takes the glass with grateful hands, and lifts the underside of the thin hospital mask to sip at the contents.... ] Mm.. [ That really hits the spot. She was right, the food and drink in the hospital is acceptable but in no way, shape or form is it satisfying or tasty. Kushina's gifted sustenance is a godsend by this point, and he'd only been here a day. ] Thank you.
