Vivi sat up in his bed, staring out the window. The message had gotten out and he was glad to be back - he just wished he was home rather than here. He was getting better, certainly, but he didn't like all the gaps in his memory.

He stared and tried to reassemble his fragmented memories of the weekend, though it wasn't going especially well. His thoughts kept drifting, wondering if he was getting any visitors today...

Sometime Sunday Evening

[slappingchick.livejournal.com]

Keiko came by the hospital as quickly as she could announce her absence to her housemates and hail a cab. She looked a little frazzled when she dropped by Vivi's door, hanging there for a moment to stare sadly at the injured youth. She didn't bother to try for a cheery smile, instead she pressed a hand into her chest and shook her head.

"Oh, Vivi. You poor thing."

Vivi looked up and gave Keiko a smile. It was weaker than usual, thanks to the pain he was in, but it was there nonetheless.

He briefly reached out for the board, then decided against it, instead looking at Keiko with tears in his eyes, despite the bruising keeping one shut.

He looked so small and sad without his hat, bundled into a hospital bed...

All it took was the seeing that watery look and Keiko rushed forward to the edge of the bed. She leaned over it slightly, wanting to fulfill the boy's earlier request for a hug, but too afraid of hurting him further to carry it out. Instead she motioned at him, silently asking if she could touch him.

"Vivi, I'm so sorry this happened to you."

Vivi got the motion and nodded, extending his arms out wide to recieve a hug, as big a smile as he could manage on his face.

He tried to speak but only a wheeze came out and he flinched in pain.

Keiko leaned down to pull the boy into a hug, wrapping around him the best she could with him being in bed. She kept the hold loose, still afraid of jostling any wounds. The wheezing caused her frown to deepen, and she was glad the angle hide most of her face from view.

"Vivi, do you need anything?" She asked, pulling back to look him over more closely.

Vivi smiled again when Keiko hugged him. It was just what he needed, and he was glad that she was here, even if he couldn't actually say it.

He could, however, write things, and he took the whiteboard out and started writing. A REALLY COLD DRINK WOULD BE NICE; IT MIGHT MAKE MY THROAT FEEL A BIT BETTER. AND IF YOU GET A CHANCE, COULD YOU GET MY DIARY FROM HOME PLEASE, OR ASK LYRA OR TOPH TO BRING IT WITH THEM?

His injuries still looked pretty nasty, though the stitched up gash on his arm was gone and he looked better than he did in his last broadcast to the network.

Keiko made sure to smile as she continued her assessment, reaching over to lay a hand on his other arm. "I'll go get you a drink right now."

She pulled away, fussily re-straightening his blankets. "I'll try to get in contact with them after I leave. Have they come to see you yet?"

LYRA WAS IN A LITTLE BEFORE YOU WERE. SHE WAS QUITE UPSET TOO, BUT SHE SAID SHE'S GOT A LOT OF FRIENDS WHO WANT TO HELP TOO. I THINK THERE ARE A LOT OF WORRIED PEOPLE AROUND, Vivi wrote, giving Keiko a thankful smile.

"Are they trying to find out what happened?" Keiko asked, concern written on her face. As far as she knew, Vivi's friends were still young too. "I hope they're not getting into trouble."

Keiko took a moment to disappear out into the hallway to find him a cold drink. She brought it back to him hovering to make sure he wouldn't need help with it. "A lot of people have been in a similar situation. One of my housemates was taken, too. He's not badly hurt though."

THEY HAVE OTHER, OLDER FRIENDS TO HELP TOO. THEY'LL BE OKAY.

He waited until Keiko came back with the drink and settled in before taking a sip. The cool was thoroughly refreshing on his rough throat. He put the cup down before he replied to Keio mentioning that they'd taken one of her housemates. IT'S A GOOD THING HE'S OKAY - AND THAT THEY DIDN'T TAKE YOU. THEY TOOK RAPUNZEL AND NILL, I HEARD. I DON'T THINK THEY WOULD'VE DONE VERY WELL AT ALL...

He punctuates the last part with a sad expression.
