Welcome to Gaia! ::

Hours she'd been at work in the infirmary, doing the most menial of chores. This morning, she'd gone around and cleaned the bathrooms... with a tooth brush. Then, afterwards, her time had been split between running back and forth from putting old bed sheets into the wash and bringing new ones back.

Now, she was on her hands and knees scrubbing hard with a sponge, a drying rag tossed over her shoulder. Her hair tied up and put together messily into a bun on top of her head, she had bags under her eyes from not getting much sleep. Scrubbing the soapy water into the floor, she paused at a nearly closed door, hearing an incredibly familiar voice.

'Seth's here? But when?' She frowned, figuring it was probably while she had been running around with arms full of sheets. Keeping silent, she snuck closer to the door, knowing she probably shouldn't eve's drop, but finding herself incredibly curious. Besides, she was doing her work, cleaning the floors.

Kofuku was the one who nearly got the heart attack, her entire body freezing when her name was called. Still on her knees, she opened the door a little and peeked in to look at the Doc. "Gotcha! I'll get it right away." She chirped cheerfully, pushing back the shock that had hit her.

Getting up off of her knees, she plunked the scrubber into the bucket of water and dried her hands. Being careful of the drying floor, she went off on her way to get the medication. After several minutes of navigating around and asking a few of the nurses for help, Kofuku found herself back outside that door holding a tray with a few selections of medication. Taking a deep breath, she put a small smile on her face and walked in. "I wasn't sure how strong you wanted it, so I brought a few different types."

It took all of her will power to keep herself from looking at her superior, and she prayed that she wasn't going to end up being stuck taking care of him. Not that she had any medical use aside from taking care of physical injuries.

Kofuku's eyes slid over to Seth when she felt his glare on her, and for a moment, she just stared at him. It really had been him, part of her hadn't really believed what she'd over heard. "Seth, sir..." She stood straight, acknowledging him. "Can I get you anything?"

As she took in how the Elite really looked, compared to how she'd seen him only a few days ago during their 'lesson', the worry flicked on in her mind. Despite being scared absolutely shitless of him, it was bad to have a powerful member and leader, such as himself, looking like he was. Even she knew it wouldn't be good for Team Rocket if something bad happened to him.

A very small smile twitched on her lips when he snarled; ok, maybe her worry over him was for nothing. It wasn't like he'd die any time soon, it seemed. "Tomorrow's my last day, sir, though, you might see me around here a bit, if it's ok with the Doc. I'm kind of liking it." Which was true, it was strange and it was hella hard work, but there was that feeling of accomplishment at the end.

"Uhm, I know you won't want to hear it from me... but please get better. I've been looking forward to going out into the Marshes on an actual mission."

Kofuku's face froze for a moment, then instantly turned into a bright smile. "Really?! You'd train me?" It wasn't fake, or acting, she was genuinely excited and happy to hear that the Doc was taking her seriously.

Still on a rather happy buzz, she watched Seth take the paper, having expected him to blow her off like that. Her smile had faded a bit as she remembered what had happened only a short time ago and held her tongue. She really wanted to tell him that if he had to come back for observation, he could be stuck with being with her in the same room.

For the moment, she had completely forgotten about the fact that she'd left a wet floor right outside on the hall way. Complete with the bucket of water and suds being set close to the door; if someone wasn't careful enough, it would be easy enough for it to be knocked over and it's contents spilled.

Wrapped up in her conversation with the the Doctor, Kofuku almost didn't notice when Seth got up to leave. A few seconds later, she turned around, just remembering about the hall. "Oh, Seth, wai-" She winced as she heard the slosh of water, and the commotion that followed soon after.

As soon as she heard him fall, followed by him cursing, her eyes grew wide in mortification and fear and she covered her mouth with her hands. Oh dear god, he was going to kill her. As the Doctor spoke, she shook a little. "I... should go.... help him." Her face was now sheet white, and her hands were starting to shake a little.

"Y-yes ma'am." She spoke softly, wondering if, by the time Seth was done with her, she'd be able to hold a mop. It wasn't that she was brave, she felt responsible; and she was responsible, it was she who had left hat bucket out in the hall.

Slowly opening the door, she peered out to asses the situation; it was even worse than she could have thought. Voice lost, all she could was pick up the now soaking drying rag and the scrubber. "I... am so sorry.." Her voice cracked out, and she shook a little, clearly scared out of her mind.
