( semi-open )

[recorden]

Date & Time: June 11th
Location: Initiative Hospital
Characters: Lavi, Hospital roomies (Collette & co) and visitors!
Summary: LAVI'S HARD LIFE as he turns back to his normal size at the worst possible time.
Warnings: naked butts.

[ The sound of something ripping is what pulls Lavi away from sleep, drifting back into the land of feverish semi-consciousness. At first he can't really discern whether the sound was something from his dreams or if it came from the room. It's only when he moves a hand to rub his eye that the realization starts dawning on him because his hand is big. The sound had come from him as his body suddenly got too big for the small child-sized hospital gown he'd been wearing.

There's a moment of dumbfounded staring at his own hand before he suddenly bolts upright, exclaiming with breathless excitement: ]

I'm back to normal!

[ And then it occurs to him . . .

Wait shit, he's back to normal and he's not wearing anything nor has anything to wear.

Kanda had said a week, but considering the circumstances he hadn't really kept an eye on the number of passing days. It was hard to when one was stuck in a hospital bed, not always entirely lucid and often losing track of time so he hadn't even thought of asking someone to bring him some clothes in case the effects of the potion finally wore off. It's too late now, but it's still something that needs to be remedied.

So he can only hope he didn't wake anyone else, however unlikely, as he makes a frantic grab for his tablet— and ends up toppling right out of bed with a loud thud. So much for not waking anyone. ]

[ He knows, but it doesn't hurt to try. ]

You better! Some of the nurses here are just as scary as the Head Nurse.

[ Almost as scary. But eh details. ]

[timehalt]

But the Head Nurse is very nice.

[You just have to listen to her, jeez Lazi.]

[recorden]

[ Shh what is listening? ]

Sure, she's nice as long as you stay put and don't push yourself, but she can be terrifyin'. You've seen how she can be!

[timehalt]

But we needed the rest!

[She reaches forward to grasp Lavi's hand, earnest to the point of contact.]

Lavi, she was only angry because she wanted you to be safe. If you strain yourself too much you won't be at your best when the akuma attack. And if you're not at you're best...

[recorden]

[ Ah, oops. He hadn't meant it that seriously so her reaction catches him off-guard. He blinks in surprise, fingers instinctively curling around hers. ]

I get it, I get it. But the same applies to you now, y'know.

[timehalt]

[She drops her gaze and her hands twitch with the desire to fall away.]

I know. [She bites her lip.] I know that, but...I have to do what I can.

[recorden]

[ He sighs, patting the back of her hand before letting go. ]

I understand. But I'm asking as a friend, please don't overdo it.

[timehalt]

[She smiles as reassuringly as she can.]

I'll do my best not to.

[recorden]

[ Well, that's the only thing he can ask of her so he puts on a smile and nods. ]

Alright. Be sure to come over again sometime, 'kay?

[timehalt]

Yes, of course! Is there anything I can bring for you?

[recorden]

[ A pause as he considers. ]

If you can sneak in some snacks, that would be great! The hospital food is . . . uh, not that great. [ PUTTING IT MILDLY. ]

[timehalt]

Food?

[Miranda surprises herself with a chuckle.]

It's really that bad?

[recorden]

[ Lavi rubs the back of his head sheepishly as he nods. IT'S CERTAINLY NOT JERRY'S DELICIOUS FOOD. . . ]

Kinda. You can hop down to the cafeteria and try for yourself, but I don't advise it.

[timehalt]

[She nods.]

I'll see if I can. After, I mean. Would you like to go together?

[recorden]

[ He perks up, grinning. Any excuse to just get to move a little is one he'll gladly take. ]

Sure thing! But don't say I didn't warn ya.

[timehalt]

I'll be sure to remember when the time comes.

[She gathers herself up, taking a cleansing breath.]

I should get going. Are you sure you don't mind...ah. What will happen?

[recorden]

[ He still has a smile for her, even if it turns a little wry at that. ]

It's fine. I'll feel better, won't I? Can't complain about that.

[timehalt]

I'm sorry. If I could synchronize with my Innocence more...[Maybe...]

[recorden]

It's fine, it's fine! You can always practice more after this.

[ He's making a shooing gesture. Stop fretting already. ]
