If that's the story, that's the story. Whether it's believable or not. Sometimes that's just how life shakes out. But I won't ask you anymore questions, I guess. Come see me whenever you're back. Or not back. Because you didn't leave.
Yep~ That's the story I'm sticking to! I'll come see you when I'm back or not back~ If you can block out some time in your busy schedule for little old me~
Am I supposed to believe you're trustworthy? You're being awfully cagey about things. The infirmary is pretty important to me, you know. I wouldn't want anything to happen to it.
At 3AM, four days after the rooftop incident and he wasn't actually going to stop by, but then Toki went ahead and smashed a glass aquarium tank lid over his arm and he woke up in a trash can and now Kano's dragging himself over and knocking on the door with his good hand.
At the very least, he's lucky Hieke doesn't need much in the way of sleep and set runes in the door of the infirmary so he knows when anyone is there if he's not around. That does mean it takes him a few minutes to get there, and he comes from outside the infirmary, but, well.
Hello, hello~ That's me~! How'd you know? I didn't think I was so famous!
[ He spins around on his heels the moment he hears the footsteps coming from behind him, grinning over at Hieke like it's a reasonable time of day to visit. ]
[ His best friends wouldn't hesitate to throw him off a cliff, so maybe he's the problem. ]
Hahaha~ Makes sense, makes sense~ Then, sorry for the intrusion...
[ Hieke makes a good case, so Kano slips on inside, meandering on over to the wall with all the creepy stuff floating in it- everything looks a lot creepier in the dark, and he still can't tell what's alive and what's not. ]
[He reaches over to flip on the lights, before making his way over to his desk. It takes him a moment, but he eventually pulls out the report Ekkehardt filed about Kano's arm.]
Now, you haven't been experiencing any pain or numbness, have you?
[ Kano complies easily enough, letting parts of his illusion fall off so that he can show off his bare arm- it's the underside, mostly, that's cut up, having been held in front of his face to fend off a trigger-happy Toki wielding a glass panel. Deep cuts, some glass that's large enough to just pull out but he'd decided against it because that's what keeping the blood inside, that sort of thing. ]
It was either this, or dying! So I chose this!! You'll help me out, won't you?
Nope~ I make sure to open my windows before I jump out, don't worry, don't worry~
[ It's a wonder why he'd been allowed to live on the third floor for so many years, but he'd never dragged himself to the infirmary with much more than a broken arm or two, so this is tame, comparatively. ]
This is one of those situations that probably won't happen again, so you won't ask for details, will you?
[ Ugh, it's so gross seeing the flesh and skin pull back together like that, but Kano stares at it in morbid curiosity anyways, thankful at least that Hieke's magic doesn't leave the normal scarring of non-magic healing... normal time healing, normal healing. Whatever it's called. ]
[ He has to look..... Maybe someday he needs to recreate this or something similar and the only way he can get that illusion to look right is if he forces himself to observe everything no matter how much it makes him sick. (he doesn't need to. he thinks he does.) ]
Great, you're the best! Is there a clean jar anywhere I can keep them in? I'll be careful with it, too~

Hopefully no big crisis happens that'll take me away from the infirmary.
One broken bone a month is enough, don't you think?
no subject
But don't worry if you have to leave the infirmary!
If I get there first, I can keep watch while you're gone!
no subject

I wouldn't want anything to happen to it.
no subject
Looks like you'll have to make sure you're there then, huh?

Every day. Just in case Kano decides that because he didn't specify which day, it can be any day.]

You must be Kano.

You're here at three.
[Is that a joke? It's hard to tell.
He steps around him to open the door, gesturing for Kano to enter.]
Easy enough.

It's not a problem at all. I'm glad you're here.

Now, you haven't been experiencing any pain or numbness, have you?
no subject
Mmm... Not much numbness, but pain. That's sort of new.
[ Like, today new. Glass stuck in his arm sort of new. ]
no subject
And the mention of pain is about when Hieke's brain kicks in, and he notices the fact that Kano is, in fact, injured. Right now.]
Seriously?
[He can't help but sound incredulous, as he crosses over to Kano and motions for him to hold out his arm.]
What happened?
no subject
[ Kano complies easily enough, letting parts of his illusion fall off so that he can show off his bare arm- it's the underside, mostly, that's cut up, having been held in front of his face to fend off a trigger-happy Toki wielding a glass panel.

no subject
This shouldn't hurt, but it might feel a little strange.
[Using magic to pull out the glass is more sanitary than using his hands, after all, and comes with the benefit of pain-relief at the same time.]
Did you jump through a window or something?

no subject
[The cuts clear of glass, Hieke turns to actually healing them. It's simple enough to have the flesh knit itself back together.]
I get the feeling you wouldn't tell me any details even if I asked, so you can keep your secrets - as long as you make sure this doesn't happen again.
no subject
Yep, yep, I promise~ Can I keep the glass?
no subject
Uh- [...Does he want to know?] I. I mean, I guess you can?
no subject
Great, you're the best! Is there a clean jar anywhere I can keep them in? I'll be careful with it, too~
no subject
Yeah, give me a second.
[The infirmary is incredibly well-stocked and organized so it doesn't take very long to find a jar to put all the glass in and hand to Kano.]
Do you- do you want to rinse the blood off or nah?
