Mise stirred from the disturbance, sitting up and looking around his unfamiliar surroundings he took a moment to process where he was.
He looked down at Zephyr and for the first time it sort of sunk in the bad way he was in - taking a long breath he pulled a hand through his own hair before turning his attention to Moira and Dagda and a soft smile touched his face.
"Well, good morning." he muttered, yawning, and stretching his arms.

"Afternoon now." Moira stated as she slid over the cart that usually held some random assortment of instruments but she had cleared it off so she could set down a variety of food and a thermos of what seemed to be coffee. The assortment of food were sandwiches, a small bag or two of chips, and some other miscellaneous snacks. The elder sat crosslegged between the two beds with Dagda perched on her top two set of arms. "I figured you would be hungry, so I brought some food." she motioned towards the cart.
Dagda was sitting happily in his mothers arms, holding a small little squeeze bottle of what seemed to be applesauce, though as he heard Mise, he perked up in her arms and waved happily at him. The child looked adorable, but it seemed as if he was a very strange mixture of races judging by his wings and tail.
Zephyr was still asleep on the bed, the IV stuck in his body from when the nurse had come in earlier. At some point during the four hours that Mise had been out, the doctor what had stopped by the previous day had shown up and started a very basic blood transfusion, as a bag of blood was also hanging up on the IV stand. His breathing still rather shallow, the Demon was a mere shadow of the man he once was.

"Ah, you're certainly not wrong. Thank you kindly." he placed a hand on Zephyrs shoulder, a dull silver light emitting from his palm, giving him some measure of health. With his other hand he opened the canteen, helping himself to a dose of coffee before smiling back to Dagda."Your highness. he addressed the baby dragon with a small chuckle and bearing his sharktooth grin before turning his attention to his mother. "Don't suppose there's a shower I could use as well - not to seem unthankful for everything you've done, but I'm feeling a little dry around the gills."

Moira bowed her head a bit, but watched with a little bit of curiosity as Mise used a power on the other, tilting her head a bit like a dog would before adjusting it back. "I believe there is a shower in one of the corners around here because our race can be a messy one." She chuckled a little, vaguely remember having been sent to the nurses office many times when she was little, but she could never really remember the full layout of the grounds.
Hearing Mise address him, Dagda giggled happily and grinned back before blowing a raspberry. "Hi hihi!" he said cheerfully, as if unfazed by the blood and limb loss he had been witnessing.
Zephyr took in a deeper breath as he was healed, his mind slowly unfogging a bit as it did, "D-don't...don't leave me.." he whispered, a pained look on his face as he weakly reached his left hand over to grip the others shirt.

Mise seemed a little surprised as a hand reached up and grabbed his shirt, then his heart broke as the destroyed man spoke to him - though he wondered if it was really him that he was talking to ... he smiled, softly though, and decided to speak on behalf of all possible people being pleaded with - sure the answer would be the samereguardless. He took his hand in his own and spoke smoothly, "Do not worry, I'm not leaving you."

Moira watched sadly, eventually standing up, "I'll leave you two alone - you look like you could use some time alone.." she murmured before moving to walk off.
Zephyr let out a soft sound that seemed similar to a sigh, his hand gently gripping the shirt a little bit more. Taking in another breath, he slowly opened his right eye which seemed a little hazy, but, he was awake. There was no real guarantee that he was fully there mentally though. Taking a moment to look over Mise, he closed his eye and just leaned against him.

Mise gave a soft chuckle. "Hey old man." he spoke softly, and even softer still he helped him sit up, leaning his weight against himself - then pouring a new cap of coffee from the thermos for him. "Welcome back." taking the cap and offering it to him.

As he was helped to sit up, he let out a slightly pained noise as his body was aching from everything that had happened to him, even with the painkillers that were in the IV. Leaning against Mise, the demon let out a shaky sigh, though as he was handed the cap of the thermos, he opened his right eye and stared at it. After a couple tries of just lifting his left hand, he managed to lift it and took the cap. Hand still shaking, he brought the cap to his lips and downed the much needed bitter brew.
Letting his arm slowly lower down to set the cap in his lap, he looked down at his legs, or lack there of. Turning to look at Mise, he didn't even try to smile as he looked at the other meta. The older of the two looked rather rough, his face cut up all over - the most striking one over his left eye and seemed to have completely made him blind in that eye. His hair, still pink and purple, had dashes of silver along both temples and a couple speckles throughout. Zephyr just looked so much older, as if the recent events had caught up to him as quickly as metas tended to grow.
"I...am so sorry.." he had to whisper, his voice hoarse from the screaming he had done previously.

"I'm sure you did as you needed to." Mise spoke softly, in careful measure - years of professional poker not letting any of the earlier frustration or anger betray him now. Just as carefully he swept the older metas hair away from his face and pulled him into a firm embrace, "I'm honestly just relieved you're alive." he observed the wounds on the one he had embraced, it didn't take much to imagine a scenario where he would be mourning at this moment.

"I-I.... I thought I could save her..." Zephyr whispered, closing his eye and just leaning into the other, taking in a shaky breath and letting out a slow, slightly raspy breath as he just tried to relax a bit. He was in so much pain, but he still felt like he should attempt to be strong, for Mise's sake. "I-I...just want to rest... everything hurts." he whispered.

Mise noticed the past-tense in referring to Hexxis and frowned. Seeing Zephyr in the way he was - he concluded at the only possible outcome - his heart grew heavy. "I'm sorry," he spoke, tightening his embrace of the older meta "I'm so, so sorry." He had failed her. Even if they had only met briefly previously, he prided himself on attempting to protect meta-kind and she was lost.

"I ...I thought I was helping her..maybe I just made it worse, going out to try and find her.." Zephyr let out a soft noise, just feeling tired and sore and wanting to sleep. "I...I want to go home...can...we go home?" he opened his eye to look up at Mise, a look of pain and agony so visible before he moved to lay back down on the bed, his head swimming as the iv put more painkillers into him.
Even with the help that was provided it wasn't enough to actually help him recover with his wounds and all of the blood he had lost.

Mise gave a small nod and helped Zephyr lay back down. He could help heal the physical damage to his body, but he couldn't do a thing about the pain he was experiencing - physical or otherwise. "Yeah, I'll be bringing you home." He placed a hand on the side of his face and smiled, sadly. "Just try to get some rest, maybe eat if you can - I'm going to take a short shower and then we'll be on our way." He gently, carefully, reluctantly removed his hand from Zephyrs face and moved away from him.

Zephyr just nodded as he was helped down onto the bed, rest was something that he was going to need for quite awhile as his body healed and recovered. At least physically. It was going to take much longer to face everything that had happened not too long ago, as he was already struggling.[An hour later] Sitting propped up in the bed, having had the nurse help him sit up after about half an hour, he was slowly eating some bread as it was all he could manage to keep down. As he sat there, just idly eating the bread, he looked down at where the rest of his legs should be. "I can't walk.." he whispered to himself, his brows furrowing a little bit as he realized that he wouldn't be able to do much of anything without quite a lot of help.

Mise walked back into the medical room, shirtless, drying himself with a towel about half the size it needed to be - showing off his various gambling and aquatic creature themed tattoos. With a sharktooth grin and the gills settling back on his neck after the much needed soak, he rested the towel on his shoulders before he picked Zephyr up bridal style. "Thanks for all of your help nurse, but I'll be taking my boyfriend home now." and turned on his heel to carry Zephyr out like that.
