He gave a short, quiet laugh and looked over at her from his perch against a window. "Oh... I almost forgot. I got you a gift from the gift shop while I was waiting." He stood up and walked over to her and handed her a pair of crutches with a bow on them. "They were all out of get well soon cards." A man in scrubs knocked on the door and entered without waiting. He looked at Azimov and then to Katriel. "Katriel? Your X-rays showed nothing out of the ordinary. You did sprain your ankle though. It will take a couple weeks to heal. Until then I suggest staying off of it. I've given you a prescription pain killer to use until the pain goes away. Is this man going to be the one to take care of you while you heal?"

"No other fashion accessory says 'hurry up and heal' like these," she teased. She liked his laugh, and wondered if she could make him laugh again. Then the doctor came in. A sprain. That was a relief. A sprain would heal in a couple of days, thanks to her lycan regeneration. She swung her legs out of bed and hooked the crutches under her arms. She was getting out as fast as possible. "Thanks all the same, but I'll forgo the pain pills," she said. "I'd like to check out asap. I don't know if he's taking care of me, but he is footing the bill."

"Well then, I'll let you two find your way out. I hope you don't have to come back any time soon." With that the doctor walked out of the room and disappeared into another one. "Come on then speedy." Azimov said as he held a paw out to her. "While it may be fashionable, it would definitely be a bad idea for me to be late."

"Don't want the brass getting their knickers in a twist," Katriel agreed as she heaved herself onto the crutches. It took a few strides to get the rhythm down, but it wasn't too difficult. "Alright, let me out of here! I am ready to hit the road--although this my driving foot," she looked at her ankle dismally, "I might be stranded at the KOA for a week."

"KOA?" He asked as he walked along side her. They made it out of the Hospital and out to the parking lot where Azimov's bike stood waiting in a nearby parking space. "I'm sure you'll be fine soon enough." He said with a smile. "Here, I brought an extra helmet this time." He handed her the same helmet he had given her last time.

"Kampground Of America," Katriel explained as the left. "It's like the Motel 6 for campers." She smiled as a she accepted the helmet. "I'm surprised you didn't get 'klutz' painted in big bright red letters across the front."

"It's still my helmet." He said with a smile. "I'm trusting you to keep it in one piece"
He pulled out his 'second' helmet. It was an old green helmet that looked like it was from some other era of trench warfare. "Shall we?" He hopped on the bike and offered her his paw. "Easy now."

"Um, where do I put these?" asked Katriel as she gingerly maneuvered herself onto the back of the bike. "Do I hang them off the tail pipe or just cross them in my lap so we can clothesline other bikers?"

"Here" He took one and collapsed it as far as it would go. "It will be uncomfortable between us but it won't clothesline anyone at this length." He turned the bike on and it started up with a roar. "You good?" he yelled over the engine noise.

"Let's go!" she called. Katriel hugged him tightly from behind, which wasn't quite so nice with the crutches between them, but it took her mind off her throbbing ankle.

He nodded and faced forward again. He pulled out of the parking lot at a leisurely pace, waving to a man in a uniform as he passed. The man gave a smirk and waved back.
Pulling out of the parking lot this time was far different than it had been the last time. He must have been feeling the pressure because he sped off down the road at almost twice the speed limit.

Katriel held on for dear life. At these speeds, a wreck would put her out of her misery for good. She just shut her eyes and made her body (and the crutches) like a living hunch on his back, making exactly the same movements and tiny adjustments. Hopefully the would get to wherever they needed to go in one piece, and get there soon.

Azimov felt her grip tighten but didn't change his pace. He blew past his office and only slowed down enough to make a right turn that lead alongside a beach which would probably have a wonderful sunrise in about an hour or so. A large building appeared out of the dark from what seemed like no where. Azimov pulled into the nearly empty parking lot and parked right in front of the doors. He turned the bike off and un-buckled his helmet.

Katriel unlocked her fingers and let out the breath she'd been holding for the last five miles. "We're alive!" She cried, half in relief and half in disbelief. She unfolded and extended her crutches before taking of her helmet and tossing her red hair.
