Log:

[It was closing to around four am. The Pokémon center was quiet at this time of the night. Well, apart from the normal Pokémon Center music that played forever and after.

In one of the rooms there were two boys. One of them was laying on the bed under sheets. On the chair next to the bed sat the other boy. He was covered in a blanket and seemed to be asleep as well... even if he wasn't supposed to sleep, but what could you do when you were tired from traveling through the Ice Path.]

[There's confusion in his face and eyes as he looks down at Shiraishi, but even that can't especially cover that he's still quite exhausted--physically anyway.]

What happened? [...he really can't remember.]

[flawlesspoison.livejournal.com]

[Excuse him for a while when he gets to a better position.] You fainted after we met... so I brought you to the Center with the help of Onbin. You've been out since then.

[First impulse is to shift where he's sat up in bed, to see if he can find a clock to see just what time it is. But moving draws quite an obvious flinch out of him at the pain he had almost managed to put out of his mind before he decides to just ask.]

How long ago was that? [It's a little unsettling that he fainted...that's never happened before...]

[flawlesspoison.livejournal.com]

[The clock is places so that Shiraishi's able to see it pretty well. He'll glance at it.] Twelve hours or so.

How are you feeling?

[usedkamikakushi.livejournal.com]

[Even though he doesn't speak, his surprise is clear enough when Shiraishi tells him how long he was out... He can't really believe it happened...but well, after that cave, maybe it's to be expected.]

Aah...better than twelve hours ago, I guess. [Still awful, but shh he wont say it.]

[flawlesspoison.livejournal.com]

Well, according to the nurses you're dehydrated so I'm not surprised... so I guess you didn't even have food supplies with you in the cave. [Unlike Shiraishi who was sort of lucky with his emergency supplies.]

You'll be fine though.

The little bit of water I had with me didn't last that long... [And he actually had absolutely no food but...welp not gonna worry Shiraishi more on that.]

Yeah, I'll be fine. I might just need a little more rest, that's all.

Now that you're in the center you have nothing to worry about. The nurses here will look after you and make sure you'll get plenty of rest... and drink.

[Ah... he'll reach for the water can and pour some in a glass. Then offer it to Chitose.] Later we're getting a room at the inn.

I'm not worried about it. I shouldn't have to stay too long. [He's been in a hospital before. And this time he doesn't really see as much of a reason to stay.]

[Pardon his silence while he accepts the glass and drinks some of it, slowly enough.] As long as you get to sleep in a real bed this time. [Yeah he saw you sleeping in that chair, mister.]

[flawlesspoison.livejournal.com]

[He'll chuckle slightly.] Hey, this was better than sleeping on an ice floor. [He'll stretch slightly.] But a real bed sounds fantastic.

[usedkamikakushi.livejournal.com]

[Imagining sleeping on an ice floor............yeah no, but he'll smile.] How'd you manage that? I don't think I could've.

[Seriously, he almost didn't sleep in a cave not ice. But well...he had other problems.] There was room, you know. [He actually wouldn't have minded so much, considering sleeping in a chair is still not comfortable.]

[flawlesspoison.livejournal.com]

Well, I had a sleeping back... and my Pokémon to keep my warm. [Where would he be without them.]

I didn't want to make you uncomfortable... you seemed like you're in pain.

Did Hikaru claim the spot closest to you? [For the sake of his curiosity, he does remember it being mentioned that he didn't like the cold...]

Aah...maybe just a little. [Or more like a lot. A whole lot of pain. But Shiraishi doesn't need to know that, and Chitose can hide it so long as he doesn't move too much.] But neither of us take up that much space, do we?

[This bed is big enough for two if you need it, Shiraishi...Chitose doesn't exactly care so much about sharing.]
