Kiro sat up abruptly, searching the rooms for his surroundings, arms no longer covered by dried blood, and the bandages were actually secure and in correct places. He seemed dazed, confused and he could finally feel the pain the adrenaline hid.
"Jeez, looks like someone finally awake."
Kiro looked up, in the door way was the woman...where had he seen her...
"I'm the one who caught you when you had your little tumble."
That was the answer, it seemed correct yet there was a feeling that it was somewhere else he had seen her. Though Kiro ignored that feeling having the thought it was jus him being stupid... She had long ginger hair, medium skin, green eyes, and freckles. The women was wearing a dress, hair tied back and the ponytail resting on her side. She seemed incredibly mature.
"Oh-...Yeah thanks."
"My name's Mikae[1], and you?"
"Kiro..." He mumbled, his body aching.
When Mikae saw he was in pain, she softened her tone. Walking closer before settling into the chair for visitors beside the bed. Kiro just laid back on the bed, huffing in annoyance.
"Oi, where are you from anyway, i've never seen you in the west before."
"The east."
Mikae groaned, leaning her had back as if annoyed, Kiro just looked at her dumbfounded.
"ughhhhhhh, your from the place with those freaky doctors who complain if you eat meat?!"
She crossed her arms over.
"Yeah, i guess so. They're annoying but we're not all like that y'know!"
Kiros voice got a bit more rowdy.
"Ohhhhhhh, you're one of those aggressive types thats actions go against their words?" Mikae just laughed at him.
"The hell is that supposed to mean!" His ears got a little red at the tips, he sat up again.
"Nah, doesn't mean anything, i like you. Let's be friends" She just beamed at him, Kiro was as confused as you would expect, but just calmed down.
"Whatever."
"Well, you should be able to leave whenever you want, just don't push it. So, i'm leaving because i miss the love of my life, my wife. If you ever need me, i live at the bakery down the road. And...maybe don't tell people you're from the east unless you have to." And with that, Mikae stood up from the chair, the legs pushed back and scraping against the floor as she trailed towards the door, sliding it open, and glancing back before leaving. Shutting the door closed behind her and leaving Kiro in the silence of the room, the sun was still boiling hot, scorching the grass, the flies knocking on the glass as the hospital wear clung closely to Kiro's body, the air outside sticky and fogging up the windows. Kiro at there for a moment longer, just taking in the surroundings, he was really i the West, th land here everything is built. He couldn't help but smile slightly, before that aching pain came back into focus.
"Ouch-..."
Later on, he trailed down the stairs of the hospital, back in his original clothes. Taking in the sight of people wh weren't as fortunate to be able to get treated in the east, mostly old people who are not able to travel there, with the exception. Kiro propped up to the reception desk, the old woman at the counter seemingly a little caught of guard by his frame.
"Are you a member of a magic party? You have a lot of strength it seem" The woman beamed up at him, wrinkles casing her face as she smiled so sweetly.
"Oh, no...I'm not" Kiro laughed awkwardly, rubbing the back of his neck, the women didn't question anymore asshe signed him out.
"Well, you're free to go my dear, be more careful next time. Okay?" She smiled up at him, KIro nodded politely.
"Yes...uh ma'am." He soon backed from the desk to the automatic doors, leaving it open for a man in a wheelchair before walking out, into the streets where it was much hotter. Looking around, he could see a lot of cars driving past, a lot of people walking in summer attire, complaining of the heat. He moved to the side, walking down the streets, no idea where exactly he is off. But, he has a place in mind. But...how the hell is he supposed to get there....
