[In the Medical Wing]

[nullnotdull.livejournal.com]

[Mikan's been a good patient since her return. Of course, 'good', in this case, meant very quiet. Someone's obviously quite bothered by what happened and what she saw, and doesn't really know how to react yet]

[Meryl had taken to being a little smarter about sneaking out, which meant that she at least spent most of the day in the infirmary. During that entire time, the other girl that was rescued seemed not to move a muscle. Ah well, either way, she was certainly malnourished by now, and maybe a bit of comfort food would help.]

Hey.

[She greeted her as softly as she could as sat in a chair next to Mikan's bed, and placed some snack cakes on a nearby table. Not the most nutritious, but judging by her expression, her problems go a lot deeper then simple malnourishment.]

[Mikan looked up and gave a weak smile]

Hi...

[thoserookieeyes.livejournal.com]

How are you holding up?

[She knew she shouldn't expect an answer, but talking was at least a distraction from all of this.]

[nullnotdull.livejournal.com]

I-I'm okay...

[return-my-rice.livejournal.com]

[Someone's come to pay a visit!]

Um...hello?

[nullnotdull.livejournal.com]

Hi. You're Vivio-chan's friend, right?

[return-my-rice.livejournal.com]

Uh-huh. My name's Gohan. I wanted to see how you were doing.

[nullnotdull.livejournal.com]

Mikan...

[Oh, he probably knows that. She's smiling awkwardly]

I'm... I'm okay...

[Tsubasa's there, naturally.]

Hey... you alright there, Mikan?

Re: [Action]

[nullnotdull.livejournal.com]

[No words. Just clinging.]

Re: [Action]

[ashadyguy.livejournal.com]

[Rubbing her on the back. There there kohai.]

...Sorry I couldn't find you before...

[Well, that happened.]

Re: [Action]

[Still crying and clinging. And kinda shaking her head in a 'not your fault' kinda manner]

[And Kyonko, being in the Medical Corps. and learning the ropes, is getting sent in to take vitals today. She holds up a thermometer to her.]

Ummm.... so what are you here for? The chart they gave me doesn't say. 'Lousy, stupid, good for nothing, bureaucracy!'

[nullnotdull.livejournal.com]

I... I got...

[Mikan dropped her voice]

[kyonko-narrates.livejournal.com]

'Yeah, I really need to push them to get some of these charts in order. This is already bringing back memories for me. Poor kid. No wonder she's been so quiet since she got here.'

I see.

[A beat.] I'll understand if you want to talk about it or not, then. Is there anything you need once I'm through getting your vitals?

[Mikan bit her lip]

I don't wanna be alone.

[Georik came over for his rounds, and offers Mikan a small bag of candied fruit slices]

How are you doing, Miss?

[nullnotdull.livejournal.com]

[Mikan offered a small smile for the candied fruit]

I-I'm okay...

[Better than when she came in, at least]

*Far be it for Nier to not check in on someone as young as Mikan, especially in light of the circumstances. He actually bought a doll from the market. Little girls like that sort of thing, right?*

Hey there. How're you holding up?

[nullnotdull.livejournal.com]

[Nier gets a smile as she hugs the doll]

I-I'm better than I was...

[pause]

Thank you.

[dadass.livejournal.com]

No problem. Just glad you're okay, is all. You sleeping well enough? I know the sort of stuff we saw probably weighs kind of hard on people, especially kids.

[nullnotdull.livejournal.com]

I-I've had a few nightmares...

[uberlikehermama.livejournal.com]

[And here's Vivio, coming in and looking over at Mikan with a bit of an upset look on her face.]

Hi. You feeling okay?

[nullnotdull.livejournal.com]

[Like Tsubasa, Vivio's getting clung to]

Vivio-chan...

[snifflesniffle]

[uberlikehermama.livejournal.com]

[Aww, it's alright Mikan. Vivio's here.]

I'm sorry it took so long to realize what happened...
