Recovery

[badbutsadboy]

Who: Hunter badbutsadboy and his CR
What: Hunter recovering
When: After he gets out of the hospital
Where: Jason's Safehouse
Content Warnings: N/A for now

[He's only in the hospital a few days. Vascular injuries are bad but the artery wasn't completely severed, the muscle was only nicked, and the rest was mostly a flesh wound. It was a low speed, small caliber handgun of some kind.]

[Hunter spends a lot of his recovery sleeping on the pull out couch where he can be checked on. At some point, he plans to ask Nico if Will can heal him (though he wouldn't be shocked if Nico brought him around soon on his own) but Flapjack chases away everyone so he can sleep first.]

[So he spends a lot of time just knocked the hell out on pain meds, until one day he feels like he's rested enough.]

[And then he's left at a crossroads. Huvrye wanted him to stay with someone and he knows he meant an adult. But...]

[But he's still feeling so unsure about it. Even with adults rushing him to a hospital, even with them staying by his side while injured.]

[So whenever he gets a visitor they find him sitting up on the couch, in sweats and fuzzy socks, his arm in its sling packed with ice packs. He sits, staring forward at the TV, expression troubled, lost in thought.]

[The TV is off.]

[Flapjack is squished next to his thigh on the couch and the fingers of his good hand gently pet his fathers.]

[Hunter stays there, on his side.]

[And he tries. Because he knows this is just... a weird mood he's in because he hates not being sure what's going to happen next.]

I like reading, but I can't focus right now.

[He thinks of things that maybe he'd like the on TV or something. It's hard because his go-tos like a quiet interest in wild magic, don't really factor in here. He's had to develop new interests.]

[At least there are some definitely interesting human subjects.]

I like learning about human science. Apparently, they built ships that let them go up into the stars somehow? All the way to their moon.

And I like Earth animals.

[He pulls a face.]

Except for giraffes. They're freaks.

[It's a common demon realm prejudice against the exiled demons.]

[Reading, science, and animals except for giraffes. He's got questions about the giraffe thing, but aside from that, those all sound like doable interests, even if he's a little out of it because of the pain medication.]

[(He wonders, for just a second, if Hunter would be capable of learning alchemy, and immediately squashes the thought. Huvrye's no teacher, and most of what he knows is combat-focused. Even if Hunter could learn it - doubtful, since Huvrye's the only one here with an aura - what would Huvrye even have to teach him? No, that train of thought is better off derailed.)]

[He nods towards the TV.]

You know, humans have all sorts of channels dedicated to one specific thing. I bet we could find a nature channel if we tried. You don't have to focus on it - it just might be nice to have on when nothing else is happening.
