"W-Well...Hopefully forever!" Pizzicato chirped, so happy to see Basil smile. "Yeah....It was. Is that bad?" He looked up innocently, confused. Was it really bad? Did it make other food look amazing?
"You are...." Pizzi gently took Epsilon's hand in his own again, smiling gently. "Whether you like it or not!" A grin took his face, and he laughed quietly.
"Really? It's easy?" He looked up at Basil, wide eyed. "I've...Never seen any!" He gasped, so excited to find out about more food and Gaian culture. "And Eppi can eat too~?" He hummed, smiling brightly. However, when she came up in the conversation, his smile dimmed. "Oh...Uhm...She's....She could be worse. Broken leg and arm...A few ribs...Lots of scrapes and bruises." He mumbled quietly.

Epsilon stuck his tongue out at Pizzi playfully, swinging the boy's hand. He leaned against him when Basil asked the dreaded question, but he knew the question needed to be asked.
"I see." Basil replied, though there was no censure in his voice as he thought things through. "Well then," he said a little louder, "let's go find chocolate for Pia. And trust me Pizzi, cafeteria food is the lowest of the low as far as food goes. I'll have to have you and Pia over for dinner so you can experience a real meal." He added with a kind smile for the boy.
"Let's go!" Eppi crowed, before pausing. "Er...where are you going again?" He asked.
"To the gift shop and then to Pia, though you'll have to lead us to her room Pizzi." Basil said as he lead everyone out the door after getting his written subscription for some pain medication. Molly woofed softly, wondering what all the comotion was about.

Pizzi smiled once Epsilon started being fun again, squeezing his hand gently again. "I'm fine." He smiled to his friend, "No tears, see?"
Pizzicato nodded at the prospect of finding the chocolate. "I'm looking forward to it! B-But..." He paused, remembering something Eppi had mentioned, "W-What if we live at your house? Does that mean we get really good food all the time?" He grinned. Oh yes, looking forward to a lot!
"I know where it is! It's not a problem!" Pizzi chirped, swinging his and Eppi's hands together. "This way to the gift shop!" He giggled, and began to race down the hall, dragging Eppi with him. He made sure not to go too far, so Basil could fallow.

Basil blinked in surprise at the question of living with him. Of course it wouldn't be a problem...but where in the world had Pizzi gotten that idea? The teen deadpanned slightly. Epsilon. Before basil could come up with a suitable reply, Pizzi and Eppi were already dashing out the door. With a sigh, Basil followed at a more sedate pace.
"I'm glad you feel better!" Squealing with joy, Epsilon nearly tripped before righting himself so that he couldn't keep up with Pizzi. It didn't seem like long before they were both staring into the shop window full of big teddy bears and get well balloons.
"We should get Pia a bear too!" Epsilon said excitedly just as Basil pottered up. "And I think I see chocolate Pizzi!" And he was right. Bars of Sees Candies were stack up in front of the register in three different flavor choices.

Pizzicato laughed brightly, giggling as he reached the door to the shop, and whammed right into it, falling on his behind. He gazed up at the glass door as his eyes widened, starting to tear up.
He whimpered, looking up at Eppi with a little frown. "T-T-The door......" He managed to get out, before sniffling as he tried to hold back the tears. Now, now! He couldn't cry again, could he? He had to be strong for Basil!
He managed to shakily get up, rubbing his head, which hurt a lot, particularly his nose, which was bleeding a little bit from the impact. Somehow, the wish child held back the tears, and took to pouting. "Am I bleeding...?"

Epsilon gasped in surprise when Pizzi ran straight into the door. He tried not to laugh, he really did, but it was rather funny. Not that fact that Pizzi, his best friend, had gotten hurt, but just that the entire sight all together was rather...silly. Eppi did good though, and only managed a small chuckle before he was racing to Pizzi's side.
"Oh my goodness Pizzi! Are you alright?" Eppi cooed worriedly, helping Pizzi to stand. He ran his fingers through the blond's hair again, trying to soothe the owie. He was frowning though at the bleeding nose. "Oh, no you're not bleeding." He lied, reaching into his pocket for a hanky. "Just, hold this to your nose and lean your head back, okay Pizzi?"
Eppi pressed the hanky gently to Pizzi's nose and kissed the boy's forehead in an "all better" gesture. It was then that Basil made it. "Basil!" Epsilon cried with relief.
"What's happened now?" Basil asked, tone worried as he hurried over.
"Pizzi ran into the door."
"What?" The teen sighed. "Good grief. Are you alright Pizzi?" He asked, reaching for the boy to see if he needed to be carried or something.

Pizzi nearly cried at hearing Epsilon chuckle at his predicament. Not only had he run into a door, he had gotten a rather nasty whack to the face by it! If he had simply walked into it, the laugh wouldn't have bothered him. But running?
"M-My head hurts......" Pizzi murmured, blushing and biting his bottom lip as he felt Epsilon molesting his hair again. "H-Hurts..." He winced. "S-Sorry...." The boy felt bad for making him stop, and was sure he wouldn't mind it later when his head wasn't hurting so badly. He frowned when Eppi lied to him, though didn't question it at all, tilting his head back as the hanky was pressed to his nose.
"M-Mostly." He stuttered, voice a little strained and nasal from the hanky. "Head hurts.....I guess that's normal...?"

"You don't have to be sorry." Epsilon soothed. "I'm sorry I laughed at you." He added sheepishly, feeling that Pizzi had been upset by that. "Your head'll stop hurting in a bit." He promised, looking to Basil for help.
Basil sighed as he knelt down and bundled Pizzi into his arms, bloody hanky and all. "You need a hug." He told the child seriously. "Eppi will you please go and get Pia's chocolates please?" The starchild nodded, dashing into the store to purchase the box of yummy chocolate and some child's aspirin. He came out a moment later, the goods in a plastic bag.
"Got aspirin for your head too." Epsilon told Pizzi.
"Great. Let's go before any more accidents. Pizzi, I'm carrying you." The teen told the boy, not trusting him not to get hurt again.

Pizzicato whined a little bit, pouting at Epsilon as he apologized. "Eppi......It's...okay..." He managed to embarrassingly get out, voice still a little strained from the hanky.
The star child squeaked quietly as he was hugged by Basil, but relaxed after a while. "You're too nice, Basil...." He murmured, leaning in a tiny bit. "A-After I wasted all that food...." He still felt horrible about that, and wanted to pay him back as soon as he could! For sure!
"T-Thank you....." He blushed to Eppi, bowing his head out of respect. "C-Carry?!?! B-But how will you find your way to Pia without mee?" Pizzi stuttered, utterly surprised.

Basil sighed. Poor kid. Would Pizzi always seem so nervous and...thankful all the time? Not that he minded, but he wished the little boy would be more comfortable.
"Please, don't worry about the food." Basil replied, trying not to sound too irritable about the apologies. "And I asked at the front desk what room she was in." He explained. "Come along then Epsilon. Molly." At that, the teen marched off, still holding Pizzi firmly. He even kissed the little boy's cheek, trying to comfort him.
"Which room?" Eppi asked cheerily, swinging the bag of chocolates.
"Room one forty six." Basil replied. "Keep an eye out for it Eppi. I think we're on the right floor."
"Will do." The child chirped, holding onto the hem of Basil's coat and leading him down the hall.

Pizzi blushed when Basil kissed his cheek. Even though it was still a kiss, there was just something much more happy when Epsilon was the one comforting him. The boy mused about it silently for a while, looking a little bit more cheerful.
"Molly...?" He blinked as they walked, confused as to who this 'Molly' person was. "Whozzat...?"
But after falling into silence again, he began to hum a rather happy and pretty melody, fingers moving unconsciously to play the notes on some invisible instrument.
With time, the sign for the room showed up just a few steps ahead of them. The door was half-way open, though it was quiet from inside. Did no one come to visit her?

"Molly is Basil's seeing eye dog." Epsilon whispered to Pizzi as they came upon the room. He pointed to the golden retriever who wagged her tail happily. "And are you sure this is the right room?" He added, voice still soft as he attempted to peer into the room."
"Yes, I think so." Basil replied, gently setting Pizzi on his feet again. The boy's humming had been rather cute and he wondered if the star played any instruments like his caretaker. He didn't take the time to ask though, for at the moment, his attention was completely focused on the door.
"It's too quiet." Epsilon whined, clinging to Basil's pant leg and wondering if something was horribly wrong in the room.
"Hush. It's fine. Pizzi, why don't you go in first and make sure it's okay for us to go in?" He suggested, and Epsilon nodded.
"And chocolate." The raven haired child put in, pressing the plastic bag with the box of chocolates into Pizzi's hands as if were were some kind of token of luck.

Pizzi smiled down at Molly happily, patting her once he was back on his feet. "Hello Molly~." He chirped. "It's nice to meet you~!"
"This is it..." Pizzi sighed, happiness dissapearing that very moment. "She...Might be asleep again. But if she is...You're more than welcome to stay!" He attempted to cheer them up, and perhaps keep his own lonliness at bay. He didn't want to be alone again....Not again....
The child stepped into the room, chocolates in hand as he gave a gentle, but sad smile at Epsilon to ensure him. Quiet murmurs came from the room for a few minutes, fallowed by a shocked silence, and then he stepped out.
"Uhm......It's okay....Y-You can come in..." He mumbled, looking dead again. His eyes were cast down to the floor.

Basil and Epsilon waited patiently as they both watched Pizzi disappeared into the quiet room. Pizzi's smile did nothing to assure Epsilon and he clung to his caretaker, waiting for the star child to come back. When he did, the boy's look startled Epsilon and he immediately went to his friend and embraced him.
"It's alright Pizzi." Epsilon murmured, snuggling the boy as Basil walked past them, led by Molly, into the room. Basil strode into the room, not noticing the dim lighting or the sparse, white walls. He did wrinkle his nose though at the strong smell on antiseptic and the stale smell that came with a person being in one place too long.
"Piaotte?" The blind teen asked gently, moving towards the bed until his shins bumped the metal legs lightly. Not being able to see, he didn't know what to expect. How badly hurt was Pia? More importantly though was why.

Pizzicato leaned into Epsilon, saying nothing as he clung to his friend, eyes still cloudy and blank. After a while, he just buried his face into his shoulder again, shivering. "S' raining..." He murmured, not really making any sense at all.
The sound of cloth straining came from the contraption elevating her leg as she turned to look at him, eyes blank. Her arms, chest, and face where covered in bandages, one of the first being in a cast like her leg. However, Basil couldn't see it, could he?
"...why are you here....?" She murmured, sounding ultimately broken and hurt. She couldn't help but notice that he too was sporting an injury, though Piaotte said nothing of it.
