Before going into a second surgery, Cal had made two requests. One was to get her beloved growlith plush. That had been simple. He walked strait in, found the stuffed animal and then walked out. He didn't spend much time in her room, as it was kept fairly clean and he didn't have to trip over anything. He only had to make sure he relocked the door before continuing on.
The other task was much harder then he anticipated. He had already knocked on the door of the other agent's room, searched the rec room, lunch room, training areas and even a bit outside. On the second round of searching he found him in one of the first places he had looked. He only had a vague description of the guy to go off of, but he thought he spotted him. He was an older guy, there were few of those on base, so Panther walked up to him, holding the stuffed growlith in his good hand. The other was still wrapped but feeling much better then before. He still didn't want to use it, which meant he was still in T-shirt and jeans mode. It was much easier then fighting with the uniform, and he wouldn't be going off base a while anyway. Still the hat and the glasses stayed on him.
"Mau?" he asked, trying to get a confirmation he had the right person.

Take it easy. Don't push yourself. Get plenty of rest.
Such boring words. Staying in bed for even just one day made him restless. So Mau had taken to wandering the halls of the compound again. Last time he wandered he had run into Aila. Perhaps he would find someone today at least to talk to. He'd gone to the training rooms first to let Aki swim in the pool for a while, then headed to the rec room. He had no idea that Panther had been looking for him, or that he'd missed the man while the grunt searched for him. When he heard someone call his name, Mau cocked a brow and eyed him a moment.
"Can I help you?" The younger rocket wasn't dressed in uniform- of course, neither was Mau. He was instead in a loose pair of black slacks and a white button up shirt- though he was unable to have buttoned it all the way. In fact, Mau very rarely wore his uniform. Not that one could tell when he was in his labcoat.

Finally. He thought. His search was a longer one then he anticipated and he hoped Cal hadn't woken up yet. He had tried to time so she would be waking up when they walked in. "I was sent by Cal to find you. She's been wanting to see you."
He could see some bandages peeking through the shirt, and wondered how badly Mau was injured. Likely worst then his own if Mau had been on the mission. Unless he wore them just to be cool. Somehow, he doubted it.

"Cal?" He blinked a few times. He hadn't known she was injured, but he also avoided the med ward as much as he could. He really hated being there. "She has? Why?" Normally, if the girl wanted him, she would have come and probably barged into his room. No, not barged. Knocked, then stood awkwardly and blushed and fidget before she came in and sat on his bed.
His eyes moved over AP some, looking at him. His hand was bandaged up. Wait. He recalled seeing the man at the instructional dinner that Seth had everyone attend before the last raid. Realization set in. Cal had been there too, hadn't she? "Where's Cal?"

"She's in the medic's ward, recovering." from a second surgery he silently added. He wasn't sure why exactly, she hadn't been very specific when she told him. She just wanted the growlith and that man. "She wanted to see you. I'm going there myself now."

Mau's face hardened into a frown as he looked at Panther. He wasn't frowning at the other man, per say, but at himself. Recovering... She'd been on the raid. And she'd gotten hurt. Yet, Mau hadn't known, hadn't even seen her. "I'll follow you then."

There was a sudden darkness on the other man's face. His first thought might be that he would yell at himself, but that was not the case. "Alright." this was the last time he was going to fetch someone else for Cal. He didn't like being a messenger. he turned ready to go. "She's in room 2."

That sheet was just so interesting! Her fingers had traced the length what seemed like a thousand times. Then there was this speck of dust that flew by her nose. She had to have it!
Through the agent's giggling while trying to catch the speck of dust with her good hand, the door opened and two men entered. It took Cal a second to notice who they were, still entranced by the speck. Her sluggish movements not quite up to par with that speck of dust. When she noticed the duo the warmest of smiles danced across her face. "Panther brought daddy!" She giggle in her bed like a small child. Her eye bright and shinning as she looked over the two. "And he brought Growlith." She reached out for the plush as they approached.

Mau's heart sank when they entered the the room Cal was in. She was... What was she doing? Her movements were curious. Oh, she was drugged up probably. Wait, Daddy? Mau looked at her with concern before walking over to her quickly. "Y... yeah, Daddy's here." Might as well indulge her while she wouldn't remember it. He brushed the hair from her face and placed a gentle kiss on her forehead. "Cal..."

Cals state was... shocking to say the least. He had been there for her first time awake, but they must have given her really strong drugs this time... Unless Mau really was her father. He didn't look that old, but odder things have happened. From Mau's reaction he had to assume, but he looked so young. Panther stood in the door, clutching the stuffed Growlith completely confused. If Mau was her father, why hadn't he been informed right away? The questions piled on in his head as he stared at Mau kissing her forehead.

Cal wondered what Mau was doing, maybe a hug? But he took her drugged brain for a loop when he kissed her on the forehead. A familiar heat filled her cheeks and the monitor began to increase it's pulse along with her heart. She gave Mau a wide grin, "That was nice!" She giggle once more. "What took you so long? I've been waiting!" The cute little grin never left her face.
She turned her attention to Panther. "Since Mau gave me a kiss, do I get a hug?" She held out both arms for Panther to embrace her. "And I can get Growlith too?" She smiled at him, arms still open.

He sighed at her. "I'm sorry Cal. I had no idea you'd gotten hurt." He ran his fingers through her hair before standing upright as Cal called AP over. "You know you look like hell, right?" He said with a light teasing tone. He couldn't get over the fact that she had been injured, and he hadn't been told about it until now.

Cal addressing him seemed get him jump started. He walked over but didn't lean down to hug her. Instead he handed her the growlith. "I think a hug would be a little hard at the moment." she was still injured after all and he didn't know if that was where she was operated on.
He glanced up at Mau, no, he decided, not unless he had adopted her and they didn't look enough alike. It must be the drugs. But then what was that kiss?

"But you're here now." She smiled as if nothing had ever happened. She was drawn toward his hand as he ran it through her hair. "It's not like I could do anything." She picked at her dark hair. "But how are you?" She looked over his bandages, "Did you get hurt really bad?" She stared at the bandaging curiously.
"Aww.... Ok Panther." She took the toy from him and hugged it slightly, "Growlith can give me one." She was content hugging the old stuffed doll. She rested her head back on the pillow with the plush at her side waiting for Mau's answer. "You both should sit with me." She perked up, looking around for chair they could sit in.

Mau smiled softly, laughing faintly at how loopy she still sounded. "I... It wasn't anything too bad. After all, I'm already up and about, right?" He didn't want Cal to worry about what had happened to him. When she suggested they sit, he looked around the room. There was a chair. But Mau chose to move to the other side of the bed, sitting on the window sill. He wanted to ask her what happened, but wasn't sure if that was such a good idea. Maybe Panther would fill him in later.
