29 - [voice] Hospital time again

[forged_anew]

[There's a bit of silence, with just some quiet rustling for a few seconds, and then a soft sigh before Zuko speaks. He sounds somewhat resigned and really exhausted.]

I'm back. Sorry if I worried anyone. I'm fine.

[Another pause, and a muffled, strained cough. The next part is mumbled kind of quickly and sheepishly]

I... I'm... um, at the hospital. If anyone wanted to know.




Oh... Jackie, and Jackie's friends... Um, thanks.

[Zuko nods]

I know he is.

[there's a slight pause, and he looks over again, the corners of his lips hinting at a smile]

And I still have you.

[Minato blinks a few times before he returns a smile.]

... Yeah, you do.

[There's a comfortable silence for a while and Zuko looks thoughtful again, absently smoothing the white sheets over his lap]

Hey, I was thinking... Uncle ran a martial arts school in the high school gym, and I was thinking of taking over for him.

Um...

But I might need some help.

[Minato nods softly.]

... I was thinking about helping teach there. I'd be happy to help you, and there were some classes I wanted to teach...?

[He pauses for a moment, then chuckles.]

If that's what you're asking me, I mean.

[Zuko smiles slightly, nodding]

Yeah, it is. And thanks.

[He coughs slightly, then winces. Doing anything besides breathing is going to hurt for a long time]

[Minato smiles a bit.]

It's no problem... but now you need to rest. We can start discussing plans when you were better... or when you are worried about dying of boredom here.

[Zuko scowls with a soft grumble]

Minato, I'm already worried about dying of boredom in here. It was bad enough the first time I had to spend a month in the stupid hospital.

[sigh]

At least Haru might be somewhat entertaining.

[Minato can't help but laugh a bit.]

Then perhaps we can start talking about our plans as soon as possible. Maybe I could sneak in Momo as well? I'm sure he's missed you....

[The Firebender rubs his temples in annoyance, muttering]

I doubt animals are allowed in the hospital.


[Pffft. It's Discedo, Zuzu. But whatever he can use as an excuse, right? |D ]

[Minato snickers, his eyes twinkling.]

Oh, I'm sure I could sneak him in. Being a ninja and all!

[Zuko lifts an eyebrow at him, shrugging--and then winces. Ugggh, this was going to be a really crappy week.]

Whatever then.
