Video: un: Suihua

[ Seeing someone in a hospital bed might be somewhat common a sight for Nippon. This time, the young man pictured is being checked over by a nurse - his pulse is being taken as the feed continues. He doesn't look the most happy, more impatient and maybe even a little worried as he sits mostly still for the check up.

Finally he pulls away and glances at the communicator he'd been given. Perhaps he'd been interrupted just before he was going to speak? His lips go thin in mild irritation before he seems to make an effort to draw himself up straighter, ignoring the nurse's cautioning words to not overdo it, they'd just gotten that hole closed thank you! ]

I am Jin Zixuan. I understand there might be people here I know. If this is true, please contact me.

[ His eyes might be begging one of these people is his wife. ]

[ His whole bearing seems to change.

There. There is his light. The last person he remembers thinking of as he fell. The first person he thought of when he woke in this strange place.

The smile she gets is soft and even sweet, full of relief and all the love he has for her. ]

A-Li!

[ Does he have to ask where she is? Or if she can come to him? No. But he will anyway. ]

Are you well? Where are you? Will you come here? I'm told this is a hospital.

[ That smile causes her a bit of relief. Despite the fact that he's injured she can't help her own smile. ]

I'm doing well. As for where I am, I'm at our home.

[ Something that they had within this place. ]

I'll come to you, A-Xuan. It shouldn't take me long.

[ Her light is blinding! He loves her smile. Oh, the ears and peek of a tail he can see are a little strange, but she is still his precious wife and that's all that matters.

'Our home'? That's somehow more and less strange than everything else, and he has to sit on more questions.

All that matters is she's coming to him. ]

I'll wait, A-Li.

[ She keeps the device on for a little bit before eventually shutting it off. Yanli heads straight to the hospital and finds out where her husband is before moving to the room that he's in. She hates the feel of this place and the smells of it.

She can't think of that at the moment, not when he's there. So, the moment she sees him she moves over and sits down on the side of the bed and reaches up running fingers through her husband's hair, giving him a warm smile. ]

A-Xuan. How are you feeling?

[ He holds onto the device like a lifeline, just as content to not fill the air with noise but reluctant to close this connection with her just yet.

Then she's right there, and he feels like he can breathe easier as she sits beside him on the bed. He leans into her gentle fingers, any pain he might be feeling is brushed aside as he reaches up to cup her face. Then lifts his hand further to brush over her hair and ears, too curious at the change not to see if they're real. ]

I'm fine, A-Li. [ He answers immediately. Perhaps too abruptly, and ducks his head with a little grin before peeking back up at her. ]

Really. They fixed the main injury. All I need is to rest.

[ Yanli leans her cheek into that hand that cups her face before scrunching her nose up a little at the feel of the fingers along her ears. It wasn't that she had a problem with it, she didn't, but she's not used to anyone touching her kizuna features. ]

You're sure?

[ She gets that they fixed the main injury but she still worries about her husband. ]

I'm ready to take you home.

[ More like she wanted to take him home. ]

[ He can't help the little grin at how cute she looks with her nose scrunched up. He sees no sign of pain, so doesn't immediately pull back.

Only at the fussing does he reach for her hands to hold them gently. Then raises their hands up to press gently over his chest to tell her she can check for herself that his heart beats strong and sure. It's still bandaged, but the worst of the damage has been dealt with. ]

Then let's go home.

[ She wants something? He'll do his damndest to see it done. ]

[ Feeling his heart beat under her hands is a relief. His heart did feel strong but that didn't mean that she wasn't worried. They did, however, need to get him out of the hospital. ]

Can you walk without much pain?

[ She's not as strong as her husband but she did want to get him home. ]

[ They'll both feel better once he's out of the hospital. ]

Pain doesn't bother me when it means getting home.

[ Because he hasn't been given the freedom yet to try walking. Zixuan only releases her hands to work on swinging his legs over the side of the bed to try standing. He's clearly unsteady, but his legs hold him - it's enough. And he's stubborn and determined. ]

Lead the way, A-Li.

Tell me if we need to stop on the way home.

[ Let the hospital give her hassle over her husband. She will get him home if it's the last thing that she does. ]

I think you'll like the house.

[ When he was there it was one that he'd picked out, after all. ]

Do you like it there?

[ Because that is more important!

If the hospital harasses his wife, they'll regret it. Zixuan smiles at her and follows after retrieving Suihua. Taking it slow makes it possible to get most of the way there before he has to pause for breath at a bench. ]

The house? Of course I do. It was something that you picked out the last time you were here and I have a garden there. A-Cheng has been living there with me too.

[ That way her husband knows she hasn't been alone in his absence.

When they do need to stop she sits down beside him. ]

This place is a lot to take in.

[ That has him blink and glance at her curiously. ]

I was here before?

[ And left. Obviously. He frowns unhappily. That means he'd abandoned her yet again. The fact he hadn't done so on purpose simply doesn't matter. ]

He said he'd break me out of that hospital if he needed to.

[ Another thing he owed Jiang Wanyin for. Ugh.

Zixuan works on calming his breathing and settling his racing heart. The air is a bit cold though, and his sweet wife's health has never been the best. So he gently curls a warm arm around her. ]

All that matters is that you are here with me and you are safe.

You and A-Ling both were here before.

[ Though, she hadn't really seen much of their son but Cheng had told her quite a bit about their son. ]

When I first showed up here you both decided that you didn't trust the hospital.

[ She leans into his side a bit when that arm wraps around her, laying her head on his shoulder. ]

I'm safe. I have my sword too if I need it.

[ Even if her sword, at the present moment, was at home. ]

[ A-Ling! His heart lurches at the news she shares. ]

Later...would you tell me?

[ He grins a little and holds her close. ]

The hospital did some good, but it is good to be away from it.

[ And he won't be letting go of her for a while now! ]

Good.

Once you're home and well rested.

[ Him resting and being healthy is the one thing that she wanted the most. ]

I felt the same way once I was home.

[ She looks up toward him giving a soft smile. ]

Are you ready to try walking again?

[ Of course he smiles at the agreement.

And he loves holding her like this. It's one of the few things that calms him right down.

He nods at her question and releases her to push himself back to his feet. The sooner they get home, the better.

However... ]

You were at the hospital when you arrived? Is that common? Or were you wounded?

[ She stays leaning up against him until he releases her, when he gets to his feet. Yanli would try to keep him upright and get him home so he could relax properly. ]

When I showed up here I was wounded. The doctors had started to help but between A-Cheng and you, they didn't get the chance. Sect Leader Lan was here and he helped.

[ Reaching down she threads her fingers through his. ]

Though, I believe that most arrive near or in the hospital to be checked over. But for me? I was wounded when I showed up.

[ Well if she doesn't mind...he shyly lets his arm return to around her. Only partially just to hold her as they walk.

A worried frown tugs at his lips and he gazes intently at her. ]

What happened? You were fine when I saw you before I went to make sure Wei Ying got to A-Ling's celebration safely.

At that time? I was alright.

[ There's a soft frown out of her even as they walk toward the house. As they walk she tries to gather her thoughts. ]

There was a conference... it ended with everyone being against A-Xian.

[ She takes a deep breath before letting it out. ]

A fight broke out, all of them against him. I wanted to find him and when I did things were even more out of hand.

[ Out of hand was putting it mildly. ]

I found him and A-Cheng both. At the time? I'd had a sword slam along my back.

[ This? It was hard. Especially when she doesn't want her husband to hate her brother. ]

There was a sword coming at A-Xian and I pushed him out of the way, getting a sword hit with a sword.

[ She lays her head on his arm. ]

When I showed up here I was dying in A-Cheng's arms.

[ He reins in his impatience to hear it all at once. That won't help. She deserves his patience and his attention. And the frown tells him it's not a nice story.

But he feels he needs to know it anyway. So he waits as they walk together, holding his silence and just trying to offer his presence as reassurance she's not alone.

Of course a fight broke out against Wei Ying.

Of course Yanli went to try and save him.

His heart almost stops when she tells him she'd shoved Wei Ying out of a sword-strike...and would likely die from it. He immediately pulls them to a stop to wrap both arms gently around her. Just to hold her close.

He doesn't need to hear her request he not hate Wei Ying for it.

It almost hurts to wrench his thoughts around to her way of thinking. ]

You were...protecting him. Of course that's what you did. I am glad that you came here. So you could be healed.

[ Yanli's tail swishes slightly even as she tells him the story. A story that she hasn't thought about since showing up in this place.

When it came to her brothers, though, she'd always want to protect them. She knows too that she shouldn't have been out in that battlefield but she hadn't been thinking properly. All she knew was that she'd had to get to her brother. ]

I'm glad that I came here too.

[ She leans into her husband and closes her eyes slightly, relaxing in Zixuan's hold. ]

I'm happy that you're here, A-Xuan.

[ No, she shouldn't have been there. In danger. But Zixuan understands the desperation of needing to act. It's what had made him go after his cousin, to try and settle things between Zixun and Wei Ying so Yanli could have her other brother there for the celebration.

Zixuan just holds her, resting his cheek against her hair. She earns another soft smile, even if she can't see it. ]

Of course I came back to you.

[ It was dangerous to be out there. That didn't stop her from going out there trying to find her brother.

She just lets her husband hold her as they stand there but they still needed to head home. ]

It'll be good to have you home.

[ She's quiet for a moment before relaxing fully against her husband's body. ]

Let's finish getting you home.

[ Family can be a complicated thing.

Zixuan doesn't sigh when she says they should keep moving. Only tightens his embrace on her just a little before pulling back to take her hand for the rest of the walk. ]
