[Rinrou]

Laurel wrapped Nic's arm around her shoulders as she reached her own arm around his waist, supporting him. "How does it feel?" she asked.

Kale sat up fine, slowly moving his legs over the edge of the bed.

Frei let Raven have some alone time every now and again, she seemed to be hanging out with Rosen a bit as well.

James also seemed to be confused but finally, he seemed to reach a decision James' style. He promptly picked Yue up and threw her over his shoulder as he started to walk out of her room, "Let's go swimming."

[Kaliko]

Nic didn't say anything, but he seemed to be doing well as he shifted his stance a little.

So Blaze sat next to Kale, waiting for him to be ready to give it a try.

Raven didn't seem to be entirely comfortable letting Frei spend all that time alone with Rosen. But the time to himself did him well.

It took Yue a moment. "... Huh?" she asked dazed.

[Rinrou]

Laurel was patient with Nic, waiting until he felt ready to take the first step.

Kale sighed, "Alright..." he muttered before slowly standing. He grunted a little but didn't seem to be in pain.

"Swimming," James repeated, "We both could use some exercise."

[Kaliko]

It wasn't clear why Nic took so long. He didn't appear to be in any pain. But when it seemed like he wouldn't, he slowly started walking.

Blaze supported Kale, but not fully. She let him stand mostly on his own.

"... I don't want to swim," Yue told him.

[Rinrou]

Laurel walked around with him, keeping just enough support to keep him from falling.

It soon became obvious that Kale needed a lot of support as his abdominal muscles were still severely weakened. He managed to walk around for a little bit though.

"Then you can float on a floaty and get some sun," James replied, shifting Yue on his shoulder and patting her back before his hand drifted a little lower.

[Kaliko]

Nic was very precise in his movements. Never at one point did it seem like he was going to fall. After awhile he slowly made his way back to the bed.

So Blaze gave Kale the support he needed, managing to hold back any jokes that came to mind.

"... I don't feel like I'm falling," Yue noted. There was a bit of an echo in her voice of her old snippy self.

[Rinrou]

Laurel stayed with him just in case until he was sitting back on the bed. Then she let go and sat back in her chair with a sigh. She was thankful for the glasses to hide the dark circles under her eyes, she hadn't been sleeping well.

Kale tired out faster than Nic and he didn't seem to like that. He seemed to be a bit more competitive than his usual attitude would suggest.

"Hmm?" James asked as he removed his hand. They were approaching the pool so he set her down, "Now, why don't you put on a nice bikini?" he grinned, acting quite a bit like his usual self.

[Kaliko]

Blaze chose not to comment on it for now.

Yue stared a little blankly at James. It didn't look like she was going to follow his commands.

[Rinrou]

The nurse came and spoke to both Nic and Laurel, telling them that Nic could move back into his room now as long as Laurel stayed close by. Laurel nodded and began gathering up Nic's belongings in the infirmary.

The nurse then pulled Blaze over and went over Kale's chart. His vitals were not good but were normal for him. His diet had always been very unhealthy but Kale had never listened to anyone and no one really bothered him about it. But as it was now, his recovery would be a lot harder if he continued to not eat the nutrition his body needed to heal.

[Kaliko]

Nic didn't have much. His scarf, shoes, and whatever else Laurel had brought him. But he didn't look too sure about the walk to his room. "... I'm going to nap," he decided as he laid back down.

Blaze said nothing the entire time. When the nurse was finished she paused for a long moment before nodding slowly.

[Rinrou]

Laurel looked at him, "Alright," and walked to Nic's room with all of his stuff. She looked at the mess she had yet to pick up since she ransacked his room earlier and sighed. After a moment she got to work cleaning it all up.

"I don't know, maybe he'll listen to you," the nurse shrugged before leaving. Kale didn't seem to like the nurse talking to Blaze without him.

[Kaliko]

After awhile, Blaze slowly went back over to Kale and sat down by his side like usual. But her expression was unreadable.

[Rinrou]

Kale watched her for a bit before giving in and just asking, "What did she say?"

[Kaliko]

Blaze was silent for a good while longer before her hand suddenly came up and hit Kale on the side of the head sharply.

[Rinrou]

Kale blinked, shocked. He stared blankly at Blaze for a long moment before slowly frowning.

[Kaliko]

Blaze took another moment to collect herself, irritation and anger showing on her face now. "... Liar," she told him quietly. "... Your body needs the same kind of nutrition the average person needs."
