Welcome to Gaia! ::

Rene sighed fingering the plastic bands around his wrist lightly. Fall risk. He snorted. Yeah right. If he was a fall risk why did the doctor just tell him he could get up and start to move about. Just cause he passed out before didn't make him a risk now did it? The teen snorted again. Whatever. Eyeing his IV Drip for a moment, Rene slipped from his hospital bed with a small wince. Slowly the teen edged himself out of his room, only stopping long enough to find a nurse and tell her where he was going if anyone should come to look for him.

Luckily, as it turned out, Rene's room wasn't too far down the hall (and around a corner but honestly who's keeping track) from Chris' room, slipping in the door and closing it behind him just as Brahms's Lullaby came over the speakers in the hallway. The dark haired boy then dragged himself into the chair closest to Chris' bed, plopping in it with a groan. Rene scrubbed at his face, mindful of the tube on his arm, trying not to bed it too much before he looked at Chris, giving him a lopsided grin. "...Well that all could have gone exceedingly better... Next year I vote we stay home and have a movie marathon or something." Rene really didn't want to do that again... Ever.

Even bandaged up, Chris still looked like crap. So it made Rene feel pretty bad that he was atleast able to hide his wounds under a shirt. "How you feeling?"

"You look like a pirate." Rene said, making a circular motion with his finger at eye level. "Not saying it's a bad look for you, but I don't think that will work with your work uniform." He teased. "Then again, we could always just start calling you Odin." Was now the time for jokes? Maybe not. But they probably both needed a good laugh.

Rene sulked in his chair as Chris started the 'You shouldn't have done that' speech. "I'll live." He said, hiking up the bottom of his shirt just high enough for Chris so see a large gauze pad plastered to his side, over his hip. "I'll have two scars from getting hit but that is it. However, I do think I passed out on Sessrumnir though." She said with a slight cringe. He wasn't sure if it was just from blood loss or a mix of that and an adrenaline crash. "I remember walking out with him, but then next thing I knew I was being shaken awake so the doctors could get my info. He wasn't there." Not that he knew Sess's other name. But Rene thought it would be hard to miss someone as tall as the brunette. "So there's that. Some way to start off being a squire.."

"And don't give me that. You would have done the same thing if I was me instead of you or Paris. I went in there because my Family was in danger. With these memories of a ******** up future, I really didn't feel like losing you guys again." Rene sighed, rubbing at his eyes again. "As it is I feel bad, because I basically ignored everyone else that was captured. I was focused on only getting the two of you out. It might have been easier if I just stayed with everyone else instead of running off with Themi." Rene glanced at the room door, thankful for how sound proof these places were. "I died.. In that future, I mean. Kind of. I would have rather died saving you two, then have to repeat what happened there anytime."

Rene side eyed his friend. "Though if you really wanna think I'm nuts. I almost died when I was super little. Or so I've been told." Chris was just gonna put him under surveillance after this. He could feel it in his bones. "The point is though that I'm fine. You and Paris are both alive. And that's what matters."

"Oh come on it was funny and you know it." Rene crossed his arms in his defense, but returned Chris' smile with one of his own. "I'd say we could make Sess Thor.... But he probably brags enough." That, and did he really need a hammer to throw at people? He already ran at walls like he was a freaking football player.

"I suppose I can't argue with that logic. I use to think that way too. Hospitals are pretty neat though really. Always busy, but still pretty neat." He wondered, if the knight had gotten any major injuries that night, or if he simply brushed them off like nothing ever happened.

"You better not... You really don't wanna hear what I ended up doing in those ******** up memories." Rene sighed, stretching his arm slightly. The IV drip itched like hell, but he didn't want to touch it.

Rene actually laughed as he listened to his friend groan. "Nothing super serious. This was from when I was like...For or five or so? I don't remember how old I was. I just know I was little. I'd been playing by a pool edge and I guess my sister and I started getting into a fight and..." Rene just cocked his head with a small smile. "Well, you can figure what happened. I didn't have any swimmies or whatever on so I ended up inhaling a bunch of water. Mom said something about blacking out and not breathing." His mother still wouldn't completely tell him what happened, she always got super clingy whenever she attempted to. "So because of that, you're looking at a nineteen year old who doesn't know how to swim and will absolutely lose his s**t if you even joke about throwing me in the pool. However, I will be the designated beach guy who watches your stuff."

"I mean, don't get me wrong. I tried to learn. But I always ended up panicking and chickening out at the last second." Rene shrugged lightly. "No one's ever really been able to keep my mind off of it you know? Like... I can get on boats, ferries and the like okay. I panic a little at first but as long as I don't end up in the water I can talk myself through it. It must be pretty pathetic though huh? Being scared of water of all things." Rene scrubbed at his face. "A Mercury knight who's scared of water. Can you believe it? Maybe it's a good thing I'm not part of Neptune or Uranus..." Rene suddenly wanted to shrink into his chair and disappear.

"What are you thanking me for? I told you. You both are family... you're suppose to help each other out right? I would have done it for any of you, and that includes your brothers. I don't want to see you guys get hurt again." He was glad for the change in topic. "I wasn't going to leave you there. Either of you."
