((This takes place immediately after Shinu returns to the Garden, anyone can join))

Laying in his bed, Shinu looked up at the ceiling. It was an interesting feeling being back. So many thoughts ran through his head, mostly interrupted though. He had some great friends here, to which he owed his life. Most of them had come to visit now, as well as many younger students he hadn't expected to see. His eyes kept peeled towards the door as he awaited the certainty of the next visit. It was nice to have company, he'd spent enough time alone in a room for his own good.

kairi felt much better. having fluids run through her she was now able to heal herself properly. she had been busy for the last few hours with trying to get herself back to 100% again but she still felt groggy and they told her to stay for a while. she coldnt help wanting to help out

she slipped out of her room and walked down the hall standing by the doorway out of site. she knew it was shinu's room but shew as too afraid that when they were talking to each other it was just all in her mind. so she stood there not knowing what to do. or what to say. if it wasnt true then she would just sound insane. but if she was right she needed to know how they were able to do that.

"If you're going to sneak out of your infirmary bed against the nurse's orders, then standing in the middle of the hallway isn't doing the best job of it." Kairi felt a hand on her shoulder, long-fingered and withered. Whirling around, she found Erk next to her momentarily, before he continued on and entered Shinu's room. The presence of Crysta and the stanger gave him pause, however, as he hovered silently behind them in the open doorway.

she blinked at shinu and thought about this for a moment. he was correct. but she still found herself standing there like a moron. not knowing weither to go it with all those people or go back to her room to think. so she just kept standing there. ever since the incident she felt unsure of her next move. constantly. and erk suprising her didnt help. he had scared her into shaking slightly

"Excuse me, which room is Shinu currently residing in," a voice rang past the receptionists ears. Turning around, she pointed out the directions even verbalizing them however, she finished only to realise that the one who had asked her was no where to be found. Rather, Corenian had already pretty much crossed the length of the hallway and reached the room. At the doorway, he noticed the elderly teacher standing there with Kairi who seemed a bit ruffled up. Clearing his throat, he strode over to the doorway where they were.

"E-errrm hey Kairi, it's nice to see you're well enough to get up and all but with the way you're shaking should you really be up?" he asked, tilting his head slightly as Fia flew right through him and to the doorway itself where she waited impatiently for him. She didn't like large masses, something she and him shared in common so she didn't want this to take too long.

kairi felt her eyes dart up to see corenian and she took a deep breath of relief

"um... its ok corenian. ill be ok. i just... theres alot of people... and... i was thinking i should just come back later..." she said and smiled at him

"are you here to talk with shinu like the others?" she asked and smiled at him slightly but that bright smile of hers was no where to be found

Shinu's head was still throbbing a little bit from the transition his body was going through in order to get itself back into shape. He'd finally been shaven by one of the nurses, he saw himself in the mirror before and nearly cried. His eyes were a bit blurry from his most recent tears, but his mind told him that he wasn't alone.

In fact, he wasn't even close to alone. There were five people here to see him at once! This was an exciting time for him, visitors were the only thing keeping him sane right about now. They weren't coming in for whatever reason though.

Please... come in...

"Even in bed, you're causing quite a stir. You've been the source of quite of bit of trouble at this academy, from the day you enrolled here." Erk skirted past the stranger and Crysta, and seated himself gingerly on an empty, adjacent bed.

"Doubtless, we're certainly in for our fair share of more." The old man pressed his fingertips to his forehead, and, resignedly, "What is the prognosis from the nurses on your recovery?"

Isn't it true there'd be no Academy without me here to cause some trouble Erk? Causing a stir is just what I do.

Shinu sat up a bit in his bed, he was tired of being weak, but at this rate he had to be calm because he knew he would get better in due time.

The physical damage should take another week yet. Nurse says two weeks but I know my body better. The mental damage is gone, we have too much work to do Erk, and I personally have to make amends for my lack of judgement. You and I have a lot to talk about as you well know.
