Footsteps thunder down the hallway outside. Eirin shifts back into a less provocative position and wipes the gel from her hands.

“Another time, perhaps.” She states with a slight disappointment.

Just as Eirin finishes composing herself the door swings wide and some familiar faces burst into the room.

“!” Keine and Akyu yell in unison as they rush towards me, arms wide. Oh god they’re going to hug me...

“No wait! The cream made my skin really-”

The two girls throw themselves against me. I see the two healers cringe out of the corner of my eye.

“Ow ow ow stop!” I yell urgently.

The two girls jump back in surprise and confusion. Behind them, Mokou breaks into a fit of laughter.

“Oh…oh we’re so sorry! We didn’t know you-“ Keine and Akyu bow apologetically.

“Its fine, its fine. I’m happy to see you too.” I try to dispel their worry as much as I can through gritted teeth.

“So how is he, doc?” Mokou says, finally recovering from her mirth.

“The treatment was a resounding success and I expect he will make a full recovery with a little more rest and low activity.”

“Oh, thank goodness. Thank you again so much for healing him.” Keine bows deeply to Eirin and Reisen before Akyu quickly follows suit. Mokou simply shrugs and nods her head.

“Well, I won’t say it wasn’t troublesome, but such a special situation was worthy of our intervention." Eirin turns to me and smiles with approval. "Especially after hearing your circumstances.”

“Well, we’re glad to hear it.” Mokou walks beside the bed. “I suppose we’ll collect this brave idiot and get out of your way now.” She sounds jovial enough, but I swear it’s more of a command than a suggestion.

“Actually, I would like to observe him here for a few more hours, just in case there are any negative reactions to the medication.” Eirin’s professional tone returns as she walks to the opposite side of the bed.

“Reactions seem positive enough to me. C'mon you, let’s get back to the village.” Mokou reaches out her hand to pull me up.

“I would highly advise against it. It would be best for his health if he remained here for a few more hours.” Eirin reaches out to block any ascent.
