Anyone that might know Jude for a certain amount of time might realize there was something off about the young man as he made a weird sort of waddle accented with a bit of a hop every three or four steps as if he was having some sort of issue with walking. Not only that but he was grinning like a maniac and also humming a soft quiet song under his breath.
The fact is that...
It was no longer Jude that currently inhabited the body right now. Now it is Princess Judith of the Dolphin People. Princess Judith had a goal in mind and it involved getting back to the waters from where he had come (or so he strongly felt). As he hop-waddled along he only paused to stare longingly at a motivational poster that had the image of some ocean waves before he continued on.
Any odd looks he got were largely ignored.

Jerry had been waiting in one of the chairs in the hallway for Killzone's office to be open again when the hobbling, red-headed figure had wobbled its way out. Wait... wait was that... "Jude? Ah.. w-what on earth happened to you?" He tried not to laugh, but it was difficult. A giggle escaped his throat before he could do something about it. Therapy could... wait. Especially with the person ahead of him coming out like... that. He rose to saunter after in morbid curiosity edged with concern.

Any giggling at his expense was pretty much missed but the fact that his name was uttered made him pause as he turned clumsily on his heel still grinning (albeit less now). Oh! It was Jerry. Sweet delightful Jerry.
Jerry who has never steered the Princess wrong!
"Hello Jerry~. Are you on your way to visit my delightful kingdom of delights as well?" His eyes were wide with happiness and excitement. The question of what happened to him went unnoticed because clearly there was nothing unusual going on.

"Ah... n-noooooo~ Not that I know of? Jude, are you on.. on... *narcotics*?" He hissed, looking increasingly worried by that distant look in his friend's eyes.

Jude's eyes narrowed momentarily at Jerry's accusations, "Never! I only saw a couple of healers to help with my hand," he held up the formerly broken hand that still had parts of the cast still upon it, seems like Jude jostled and bonked it enough during his journey that the poor thing was falling apart as he went.
"The Land Mammal Sage," he indicated down the hall where Killzone's lair was, "helped me a great deal."

"Land... mammal...?" Jerry blinked. Oookay... well. They had released him from the office, he SHOULD be alright, but maybe he... needed a bit of help back to his room. "Aaaah, er, well that's great! Glad to hear it! You er... certainly seem more relaxed, ahahaha, let's just... what was your room number again? Looks like you could use a nice lay down, my friend..."

Judith stared at Jerry with wide and expectant eyes.
Just stared.
And stared.
...Then he lapsed into a fit of giggles, "Jerry! I am surprised at you! Did you forget that I live in the sea with my people?" Then he started to brush past Jerry to head toward the nearest exit outside, "I do not have rooms here! I was just here for a visit with the Land Mammal Sage and that delightful woman in the infirmary."
Yes. Delightful.
Hop. Waddle. Waddle. Wobble. Hop. Waddle. Waddle. Wobble.
"Und'a de sea~..." Came a sing song voice from Judith.
Meanwhile Yom could do nothing for her 'Champion' as he seemed to be unresponsive to anything especially her presence, {Heeeeeelp. I am trapped in the mind of a mad man who thinksss he is a dolphin princessss.}

"Aaah... w-well, maybe... one of the common rooms?" Jerry managed, hurrying after the hobbling 'princess'. He seemed... intent. It would be difficult to run off for reinforcements, and there was something unethical about just... locking him up in a room or a closet until he could find someone... just... How did he hobble and hop so fast? "Jude, er... what exactly did-" He paused, momentarily taken off guard by Jude's sudden little melody. He hadn't known the young man could sing! But- wait. No. "Er... I bet there's a nice bathtub in your room!"

"Darlin' it's bett'a down where it's wett'a~! Take it from meeee~." Judith continued to sing and then stopped again at Jerry's words.
More awkward staring.
....Nope he didn't buy it as he continued to move along, "Up on da shore they work all day! Out in da Sun they slave away~. While we devotin', full time to floatin', Und'a da seaaaaaa~." He sang louder as if to try and pull Jerry into the song with him or to drown him out.
Though he did stop long enough to explain rather firmly, "No, no. I must get back to the sea, back to my people. My fellow dolphins miss me. Think of my poor pod empty without me~. Lost without me leading them!"
{Jude, pleassse. Pleassse. Do lisssten. Why won't you lisssten?} She felt distressed and worried. This was different from before mostly because his head suddenly seemed so full with other thoughts drowning her out and it was impossible for him to hear her voice.

"Under teh seeaaa~" Jerry was lost for a moment before practicality kicked him in the rear. NO! Not a time for singing! They were already out of the dorms and on their way down the path towards the beach, and panic was swelling up in his chest, "Uh! W-wait! Wait just... wouldn't your er... pod like er... a present? I bet we could find um... fish or... or something in the cafeteria-" And maybe other people who could help him... tie Jude down or something.

There was an odd series of sounds he made that sounded like he was laughing accompanied with a couple of odd clicking noises. Jude was...really messed up.
"Jerry! We have all kinds of fish in the sea or perhaps you've forgotten," he still continued to move along quite stubbornly as they exited the building and then began to head toward the closest beach, "You are so, so silly. Besides, my presence is their present!"
Spoken like a true princess.

"Just hold up a moment!" Jerry gasped, trying to grab Jude by the arm in a sad attempt to anchor him to the sandy path. Something was definitely wrong with the other hunter, and it would seem trying to talk to him rationally about the situation was... not going to work well. And apparently irrationally wasn't working out very well either.
"Uh!"
Think think think!
"Shouldn't... you say goodbye to all your friends here first? Er... before you go?" He pressed frantically, hoping that would do it.

Judith stopped when he was grabbed and he stared at Jerry in that sort of patient manner that most Princesses used when their servants were being a bit of a bother just then. It seemed that the grinning affect wore off just then because the face of the Princess fell from shock to a small frown.
...
"Except for one that may miss me...No one really calls me their friend...So does that still make them my friends?" His tone was suddenly quiet, serious. Somber. He never really spent much time with other hunters at least not on a regular basis.
{Thatsss your own fault.} pointed out quietly.
The closest he came to spending time with regularly was Ariane and .... as of yet they hadn't really ...
...His expression hung between sad and confused now.

Jerry's own nervous smile remained for several moments before trembling at the edges, "Sure you do! You have loads of friends I bet! Like um!" He tried to think of anyone in particular he saw Jude hanging out with on a regular basis. He tried to recall any teams he usually stuck to, or girl who seemed to like him or... hmmm... honestly, he didn't know that much ABOUT Jude, come to think of it.
Just in case, he tossed in a quick save, "Well, you're MY friend!"

Judith stared at Jerry waiting for the answers to come forward from his mouth and then he bowed his head thoughtfully then suddenly Jude brightened up considerably as he threw himself at the other male and hugged, "Oh! Then good bye! And I should..maybe tell Molly good bye before I go into the sea for the final time," he said wistfully.
Maybe if Jerry acted quick he would distract Jude from going back at least for a while.
