[PRP] Infirmary Orientation (Kyle x Ezekiel)

[baby_gwing]

Infirmary duty. Kyle had been looking forward to this for awhile and who could blame him really since this was the setting that would take him the closest to what he was training to become before his ability to see the shadows eventually tore his life apart. He might not be from the Life or Moon division but he was determined to find a way to go about things so that all the knowledge and skills that he had acquired prior would not go to waste.

Arriving at the infirmary ten minutes earlier than the time he was expected to report in at, he stood at the waiting area and looked around curiously, trying to see how big it was and what kind of facilities it had on hand compared to the hospitals that he did his student attachments at previously. It was good to be back somewhere familiar once again.

Tiny start from a squeaky new muse. Sorry for the wait! ^^;

Kyle turned almost immediately when he heard the soft sound of someone clearing his throat. "Yes. Kyle Cooke from the Sun division." He confirmed with both a nod and a smile. Nothing beats shadowing another person to find out what infirmary duty was about. "Okie. I'll try to stay out of the way. Where do we start?" He wouldn't be terribly opposed if Ezekiel wanted him to have some hands on too. He would go with whatever floats the other guy's boat.

Kyle had wondered at times himself if being in the Moon or Life division would suit him better given what he was doing prior to coming to Deus. He wasn't about to start questioning the powers that be as to why they thought that putting him in the Sun division would enable him to serve the organization better. He supposed that it really isn't matter which division he was in so long as he got a chance to pursue his passion and further develop what he was good at.

"Okie. So what do we do if we suspect that they've developed a complication?" Tilting his head at the look that Zeke gave him, he made no mention of it as he followed the Mist down the hall before stopping to wait for the elevator. "Close to a month now. What about you?"

Kyle followed Zeke into the elevator, leaning back on the railing a little as he listened to the Mist's explanation. "That's neat. Helps to ensure that our downtime is reduced to the bare minimum till we're fit to return to active duty. Is this the case still when things go awry and our shields fail to hold up?" There was some mention in the pamphlet about hunters having the ability to recover faster than a normal human being but that was about it. Kyle was glad that he now had an opportunity to find out more from a more experienced hunter.

Stepping out of the elevator after Zeke, Kyle looked him over and gave a nod. "That's fast. So when do you see yourself promoting to full hunter?" It was an inspiration really to see for himself someone who was promoted from a trainee to an intermediate within the span of a couple of months. He fell silent however at the sight of the other hunter's left arm and hand, tilting his head as he began to ask about the previously sustained injury. "I'm assuming that those... weren't the result of a domestic accident?"

"Like something that blocks the bond or severs it completely. Has it happened before?" Kyle drew his own conclusions based on what Zeke had stated with a grim look on his face, trying to keep a straight face when Semaj suddenly spoke in his mind. < Thinking of getting me out of your head permanently huh? >

Unable to come up with an answer to the usually jovial incubus on the bat, he smiled wryly at Zeke. "Not unless it's from a botched attempt at whipping something up in the kitchen and nearly taking down the entire stove with it." Taking a step closer to the Mist hunter, he let his gaze skim over the extensiveness of the scarred skin that covered a good part of Zeke's left hand and arm as far as he could see, making use of the brief moment of silence to craft a reply that was meant for his weapon alone.

< No. What made you think that I'll do something like that? >

Semaj had been acting somewhat out of sorts since that day when he snapped at him at the Shadow Run training course. It wasn't something that bode well in the long run but he wasn't sure how best he ought to approach the situation at this point. "Oh ********. That's not playing fair there. Aren't zombies supposed to be mindless or lose access to their mental faculties?"

< You don't seem to enjoy having me around. Like you'll rather have someone else as your partner if you have a choice in this. > Semaj challenged, the hostility in the incubus' tone confirming Kyle's suspicion that something was not sitting well at all with his partner though now was admittedly not the best time and place to try to resolve it.

The Sun nodded, trying to keep a straight face even though it was a real challenge on his part, having to multi-task and divide his attention between Zeke and Semaj at the same time. But he managed somehow, not at all wanting to appear distracted before the Mist and risk leaving a bad first impression. "I see. Did you miss her?"

Tossing an impassive look Zeke's way, he quickly sent a telepathic message to the incubus, hoping that that would help to n** whatever problem that was brewing in the bud before it escalated any further. < That's not true Semaj. I'll admit that we didn't exactly hit it off from day 1 but I've never ever thought of replacing you. > A brief pause. Both for effect and so that he could take in a deep breath to try to ward off the headache that was threatening to develop anytime now. < Even if such an option is available. >

"I suppose that it goes without saying that you were stuck doing paperwork on the island since it will be dangerous to head out there without your partner." He resumed the conversation that he was holding with Zeke, hoping that the Mist didn't notice that anything was out of sorts as he listened to his account of the affliction that he blissfully slept through and was hence oblivious entirely to. "I'll keep that in mind. So... what happened to all of those who were infected?"

< Whatever makes you sleep better at night Kyle. > Yup. There was no doubt at all in his mind that he definitely had a problem on his hands now.

"I'm sure that the feeling's mutual on her part?" Kyle quipped, a somewhat forced smile on his face now at the very audible snort that came from Semaj which in turn triggered a throbbing sensation from his left temple. This was new for him. He didn't suppose that there was any mention in the pamphlet that Horace handed him when he woke up of what he should do if he and his new partner couldn't get along.

Falling silent, he mulled over what limited options that he was aware of, only half listening to Zeke now though he tried not to show it as best as he could. "I see. Good to have everyone including yourself back then. I'm not sure if the organisation will still be functional if all the infected hunters were incapacitated as a result of such an... outbreak."

Kyle wasn’t getting good vibes from where Semaj was in his mind. He however chose to leave the incubus be for now, seeing as things had become even more awkward between them plus the fact that he had not an immediate solution for the evolving problem.

”Maybe. But no number of trainees can make up for the experience that comes with being a full hunter who has been around for a while.” He nodded in agreement with Zeke. ”Me neither.” It would be like the end of the world or something to that effect if the number of hunters that Deus had was reduced to no more than ten overnight due to some emergency.

Focusing his attention back to what they were supposed to be doing, he gestured towards the rooms. ”So… what else do we do here other than review those under our care? Do we get assigned stuff to do or do we just look for whatever needs doing and get down to it?”
