[ A man wrapped in white is helped to sit in one of the hospital beds, for any who are watching. Visibly strained and weak, but there's a determined set to his features as he pushes helping hands away to study the magitech device he's been handed. A slow blink, then he seems to register he might be 'transmitting' as he's been told this thing does. His gaze flicks to the side, then down, before refocusing on the screen. ]

I am looking for...a few people. I understand this is the best way to find them.

Zhang Chengling, Cao Weining, and Gu Xiang. If these names mean something to you, please speak up.

[ There is another name he could ask after, but he chooses not to. If Kexing is here too...he'll show up. It's one of the few constants still in his life. ]

If not... [ He takes a breath, a little shaky, and shakes his head a little as his gaze drops down again. ] It's fine.

[ Charming public speaker much? ]

clinics are about healing and nutrition so I imagine they're giving u that kind of food which is good for you but not exactly enjoyable. I can bring some nice treats for u or something a little more indulging! Or if you need me to bring anything else I can. Prolly can't bring spirits as the chirurgeons might get angry at that.

Genbu continues to delight XD

[ What is he even reading?! Some of the spelling doesn't quite make sense until he forces himself to take a moment and think what they look like over and over until some sense emerges. ]

That would be nice. [ He finally answers, slowly. The pointed mention of no alcohol though earns a rather heart-felt sigh though. ]

No. They wouldn't allow wine in here. Pity.

Yup yup, but hey u focus on being and I'll show you a place that has great sake when ur checked out

What's got u in the clinic in the first place?

XD

[fated_dance]

[ Whatever sake is, he figures it's something like wine - at least alcohol. But he's drunk vinegar by mistake, so does it really matter? Not really. ]

Good. I will let you know when I'm back on my feet.

[ He swats at hands trying to push him back down, accepting the momentary distraction. ]

I was injured before coming here. It won't kill me.

Is this frostedzombie lmao

[protectorofsmiles]

injured huh??? Well if u say it won't kill u I have something that could probably speed up the healing process a bit

Which clinic are u at?

guilty as charged lol

[fated_dance]

Any little bit helps.

[ Which one? This time he glances at the medical staff glaring at him, then rolls his eyes at them just a little. But one of the aides pipes up with the answer. ]

Oh my god lmao

[protectorofsmiles]

Be there in a flash!!!

[And as promised, it doesn't take him long to find the clinic based on the nurses' instructions, or whatever came through the magi-comm.

Small startled gasps soon fill the clinic lobby as the walking tree steps in, making his presence quite known.

The injured man waiting for Genbu might soon hear a commotion happening even from his room.]

'Scuse me! I'm lookin' fer uh...AAAGGH! He never told me his name! Uhh...well I think he was wearin' somethin' white?

Oh all of the patient here in rooms are made to wear white? Uh..hrm...oh he has long black hair! It's like, really straight? Really long? Looks nice and silky to the touch? Some of it is in a bun...I think? The movin' picture in the magi-comm wasn't quite clear.

[This might take a minute.]

looooooooooooooooooooooooool

[fated_dance]

[ Zishu does his best to rest while he waits, fending off the occasional attempt to treat his wounds further than they already have.

The commotion reaches his ears after a while and he glances over in that direction - long hair and a bun? His gaze flicks down in thought before nodding imperiously at one of the aides. ]

I think he is here for me.

[protectorofsmiles]

I'm sure ya have him! He also has these eyebrows that kinda look-

[A nurse walks up to the struggling Raen and clears her throat, and then asks him to follow her. Relieved, Genbu eagerly follows, until he's led to a room where his mystery friend rests.

Imagine, if you will, sitting in a hospital bed, in an unfamiliar place, and you see a seven foot tall giant with goddamn horns protruding out of his head and white scales lining his body walk into your room.]

Yo! Hope ya didn't wait long!

[And he has a deep voice to match.]

[fated_dance]

[ ...To say Zishu is startled would be an understatement. But he manages not to react more than a twitch as he looks up...and up. No, he slouches a little more, instead.

This guy...doesn't fit the text he'd been reading. Not even a little. ]

No, not too long.

I did forget to tell you my name earlier. [ More like he hadn't bothered to. ] It's Zhou Zishu.

[protectorofsmiles]

Nice meetin:' ya, Zhou! Erm wait, Zishu is yer name, right? Nice to meet ya, Zish!

[oh dear lord]

Name's Genbu! Call me anythin' ya like! I've been known as Gen, Genny, Gengen, Shut Up, Beefy Man...

[Was he joking about those last few? Who knows? Genbu sits down on the chair placed next to Zishu's bed, carrying what seems to be a bag filled with mysterious items. One by one he pulls out a cup filled with something strange, a spoon, bento, and finally, a small round bottle filled with a strange, blue liquid that seemed to be glowing.]
