[Sadrain]

December 5th, Chicago. Base.

Elek stopped in mid punch when two presences entered his energy field. One he recognized as Amante, but the other... He quickly grabbed a towel and headed into the building. There was just his friend, looking much better, which was certainly a big relief. But that energy lingering on him, it had deceived Elek to think there was someone else here. "Oh, hey. Sorry about the look, I didn't know when you would come."

Elek opened the door and let Amante in. "Take a seat, please." He sat down on bed and hang head down for a moment, before looking back at Amante. "Is Leila here?" "It's just feels as if some of her presence is on you. But never mind me, I guess. She isn't here. Right?" Elek looked at the other man, frowning slightly.

"I actually... I saw that you argued with her, before creature attacked. Did something happen? Maybe she attacked or fought you? It was hard to tell." Elek hoped Amante did not think he kept doubting him. He was still debating if to tell he knew who was the attacker or not. "Are you feeling fine now?"

December 6th, Chicago. Base.

Despite his previous thoughts, the moment Amante left the room, Ryan quickly excused him self with smile, and walked into Alice's room, shutting the doors behind quietly. Nearly subconsciously, he sat down in the chair Amante hadn't used. "Hey," the man said in a low voice. Ryan smiled a small smile, but it was somewhat sad, and then disappeared. He felt different now, from the Ryan that had talked with Alice nonstop from the first time she had seen him.

"The therapy went well. Doctor said I progress very quickly. But that it may take me few months to feel the arm as my own." Ryan linked his fingers together, looking down to his hands, trying to make the thumb lay down with other digits, not stand stiffly up.
