Dearest Sensei,
It's Hifumi!!
Doppo told me that you're here and that you asked about me, so I thought I would reach out.
Let's chat soon, okay?

[zazen]

Hifumi-kun.
Yes, I am here.
I am here to chat whenever you are free, please tell me when you would like to meet up?

[champagnetower]

Happy to hear it!
I have to talk to you about some important stuff!
So! Only whenever you're not busy.

[zazen]

I haven't set up my clinic here yet.
So I have nothing but time.
Where are you now?

[champagnetower]

Dearest Sensei,
I wish you the very happiest of birthdays! 🎉 🎈 🎂
I’m so happy Doppo and I get to have you here with us in this new place!
I don’t know what we would do without you!
We’re strongest when we’re together! And happiest too, I think!
No matter where we go, no matter how many new worlds we end up, we’re a team! No- a family!
Anyway, I can’t do anything super fancy yet since I’m not rich yet, so I owe you one!
I hope you have an amazing birthday!

[capitalismkills]

Another heavensturn, another nameday.
May you have the Happiest of Returns, love.
Message me when you awaken.
I've a surprise for you, of course. ♥

Re: backdated to the 9th

[zazen]

I am awake fairly early, love.
What is the surprise?

[menphina]

If I told you! It wouldn't be a surprise!
I told you to sleep in a bit, too.
It's too early!

[zazen]

You aren't in bed keeping me here, so awake it is.

After the cave debacle

[capitalismkills]

Doppo had to admit his memory became hazy as the two had left the cave. There was only so much he could panic without feeling utterly exhausted, and the mental gymnastics he did with Rei had left him reeling. There were so many questions; what did the hospital room symbolize? Why was he afraid of that? And what had been the meaning of that looked he'd seen in the older man's eye?

The pain of his injured hand must be getting to him, he supposed. It was throbbing horribly and the thumb at least was starting to look swollen which he was sure was not a good sign. He was so tired, but his feet found their way to Jakurai's door.

He should knock, but he spent a couple moments just staring at the door before gently rapping his uninjured knuckles against it. He knew Jakurai wasn't one to judge, but he knew he looked a mess; covered in dirt and mud, clutching his right hand close to his chest.

[zazen]

[Of course, Jakurai would be none the wiser to any of those mental gymnastics. He would be none the wiser to Doppo getting himself hurt until he was faced with it as well.

It's not terribly late, but, he does wonder who would be knocking on his door at this time. Surely Amemura or Megumi would just let themselves in. They were free to do that. Perhaps Hifumi-kun? Doppo-kun? He mulls that over until he opens the door, greeted to Doppo's tired and honestly quite disheveled look.]

Doppo-kun, what happened?

[capitalismkills]

[He blinked a few times, before a wave of relief crashed over him. It was Jakurai, and he could make thinks better. Hifumi....god he should probably check on Hifumi if only to ease his mind, but well. He was here now.]

Sensei....I, um...

[How was he supposed to explain this when he didn't himself quite know how to process it? He was just tired and in pain.]

I-I'm sorry to bother you but I...ran into some trouble. My hand....

[He held the poor limb out, very clearly injured from punching Rei improperly.]

[zazen]

Your hand.

[It takes him a split second to identify the problem and usher Doppo into his living space. Inconvenient, yes. Worrying, also yes.]

What did you do for your hand to look like this. Ah, well, all of you to look like this. It is quite obvious that you have been in a fight.

[He carefully takes the hand, at worst...the thumb may be broken?]

I do not know if healing magic mends bones.

Sensei,
I am in need of comfort.
My heart hurts
I feel so weak
Pathetic
Alone
Scared
Please assure me that I will be okay.
I apologize for writing you this selfish message.

[zazen]

Perhaps our hearts are hurting in the same way. You know that you are always allowed to come to me for comfort.

You will be okay.
We will be okay.

[champagnetower]

I'm sorry you are hurting too.
I'm sorry if I'm not the best at being comforting right now.
But if you need to cry, I will cry with you.
If you need to laugh, I will laugh with you.
It has always been this way, but even more so right now.

[zazen]

We always seem to lose the ones we care about the most…don’t we?

Darling! I just heard the best joke from a patient!!

[zazen]

Oh? What might that be?

[menphina]

You might like this one. Are you ready to hear it?

[zazen]

Of course, darling. Go ahead.

Ser Jakurai. I hope I am not bothering you, but I have something of a request.

Are you particularly busy over the next few days?

[Look, he's seen how Jakurai works himself now. And he's not going to let him say "yes".]

un: illDOC

[zazen]

I had nothing planned aside from working. Additionally, you certainly aren’t bothering me.

Is there something I can help you with, Gaius-san?

[forgarlemald]

I see. Then I hope that I may be able to persuade you to place your work aside for a time.

I was recently invited to attend a charity event that others are performing on this Halloween on yours, and I find myself rather in need of company, if you would be at all interested. I fear I have been rather distant since coming to stay with all of you, and wish to make up for it.
