Jerry wasn't sure what to do with himself as he made his way down the rows of invalids. He should check on the others, he supposed.
His thoughts didn't go far from the sad state of Sasha.
There seemed little he could do just then, though... but hope and wait.
Spotting a flair of red hair, he hesitated, ukulele still in hand as he veered his way over. Poor Hazel- she had offered to Moon for him, and yet he had done a terrible job of being a reliable Sun.
He just hoped she was fairing better than a certain Life hunter. "Hey...?" He made his way to the end of Hazel's bed anxiously.

After dying, but not really dying and being eaten by mental lava and stabbed several times and scratched by long nails, it was pretty obvious that she was not looking as energetic as usual. Hazel laid still in her bed, bored and staring at the wall hoping for something to happen.
When the sun hunter stopped by, she tried lifting herself up to greet him, only to immediately grab onto her waist that felt a sharp stabbing pain and finally falling back onto the bed.
" H-hey" Hazel gave a scrunched look. She felt bad that she wasn't able to protect him like she said she would at the beginning of the mission. To be honest she didn't even remember where he was after they split up on set.
"how are you that that chick hunter?" she asked weakly, hoping he understood who she was talking about. Last she remembered was him caring for a chick that didn't love him back or something.

Jerry's face went a sort of greenish red as he moved to gently sit on the foot of her bed, "She's... um. We're... er... h-how are you feeling? I'm... I'm sorry about um... I sort of... abandoned you back there. I should have looked out for you and the other trainees better. I'm um. New to this whole... no-longer-a-trainee thing." He smiled weakly, happy to change the subject if he could.

Hazel furrowed her brows at Jerry for a moment, it was unclear if she did so because he wasn't looking out for her when it was his job to do so, or if she made that face strictly because she was in pain. "I'm..." she paused to take a few more breaths. She'd like to say she's felt worst, but really... She felt like s**t.
"I feel like s**t..." Hazel slightly opened an eye, "you look pretty... Ahem- good though. All things considering."
Her whole body was sore. She felt like she had been sleeping forever. "what day is it?"

If Good she meant not covered in blood and burnt to a crisp.. He still had not showered or shaved in almost a week now, his hair approaching offensively greasy and the timing confirmed by his fumbling for his cellphone to check the time and date and mumbled it weakly to her. "Halfway through August... pretty strange, huh? Feels like time is just flying sometimes."
This was a safe topic, at least, that didn't send the trembling man into a fit of twitching.

"Half way though... Wait- it's not August 17th, is it?" Hazel eagerly waited for Jerry's response, in hopes that it wasn't that day already.

"Er, yes?" He blinked, confused a bit at her concern.
It wasn't like she was worried about missing a favored TV Show season premiere or something....

"Ugh." Hazel let out a grunt as she rolled to her side and turned away from Jerry, "It's my birthday today... And I have to spend it in here..." she sighed and felt pretty discouraged.
She had a set plan of what to do to celebrate, but being cooped up in the hospital was definitely not part of her plan.
"Every year, my dad and I would get a cake, sing songs, play laser tag, and roll down the biggest hill in our backyard." she smiled faintly but it quickly went away. "This will be my first birthday without him and not at home."

It took Jerry a few moments to digest just what the red-head girl had said, and several more moments to shake the sudden surreal reality that contained not only Birthdays but Celebrations and Family Gatherings and other normal things.
"Oh!" He blinked before pushing his glasses up his nose.
"Er. H-happy birthday!" He forced a smile.
It was an odd world indeed. A mundane human world filled with celebration of life and survival.
It was at that moment that the man digested that for a hunter.... birthdays were exceptionally important. Another year, still alive. He wasn't sure how old the girl in the hospital bed was, but she couldn't have been older than a teenager.
Hopefully there were more years ahead of her.
He gripped his ukulele, mind racing as his eyes scanned across the hospital wing, honing in on what able bodies he could locate.

Did he just say happy birthday to her? Hazel rolled back towards Jerry, sat up in her bed and wiped her nose with an arm. "T-Thank you." She didn't mean to fish for sympathy, but-
was that a mini guitar?

"I'll... I'll be right back!" He gave a wobbly smile before turning to hurry away from the bed, down the rows to where he spotted a familiar figure.
"Robert! Psst!" He hissed, gently touching the man's arm to try to rouse him, "Robert are you alright?" He didn't think the man's injuries had been that bad, at least compared to some, but even so it had been difficult to drag the man to safety. "You awake? Robert?"
As far as Jerry was concerned, Robert owed him and this was a tiny price, his life considered.

Though his eyes were closed, Robert was awake. He'd just wanted to lie in that bed forever and fake unconsciousness - unless H came at him. Then he'd wake up just fine, and walk out of there with a quick step.
Jerry's voice was not the one that would wake the sleeping beauty, however. When he heard it, his eyebrows furrowed, a clear indication he was awake. He spoke out of the side of his mouth, trying to retain his subterfuge and failing horribly.
"Shhh, get away bozo, I'm tryin' to sleep here."

Jerry narrowed his eyes. If Robert was well enough to sass him, he was definitely well enough to help with this task. "I need a favor. It's not for me." He hissed, glancing over his shoulder as he crouched beside the bed. "Please?"

Robert opened one eye, and used it to glare at Jerry. If he was begging, it was probably something important. "Well?" He hissed out. "What is it?"

That sun hunter was being a bit suspicious with his forced, wobbly smiles and then suddenly talking to a dead person. Well, she thought he was dead, anyway. Her brows furrowed at Jerry, constantly guessing what he was up to.
