Recovery

Matt shifted in his bed, eliciting a grunt of pain. Blinking, he realized belatedly that he was in a bed. Hmm... was he...?

Opening his eyes fully, he realized that he was in the mini infirmary of the bus, but the location had been moved. Presumably by someone who comandeered his keys. He was also wrapped in bandages but the worst of his injuries had been worked on. He was also, not to put a fine point on it, naked.

Groaning, he turned his head to the side, trying to figure out just who moved him there and if Asuna was okay. "... w-water," he croaked to the air.

"That sounds great! I mean, I liked the music they played at the last one, but if we can tailor to some of our own I can do some quicker pace dances, and I can even show you some of the new ones that I learned! But you have to let me cook, okay? I mean, they did have thes small sandwitches and everything, but not enough to really make anyone feel satisfied."

She grinned. Down time. For BOTH of them. A crazy concept, but one she willingly embraced. She could figure out why she felt so strange about it later.

"That would be great," admitted Matt, clearly happy that they would get that downtime both of them much deserved. "And yeah, you get to cook. I'd love to see what you make from your world!"

Such honesty delivered in a way that it made Matt sound very excited for it, and it showed. He was smiling, the smile reaching his eyes and he was very much relaxed.

Now if that feeling would just ease off a little, he'd be okay.

Katara snickered. "Yeah. if you're into soups and fish, you'll be ok. If not, I know quite a few other recipes. I have had some time in the Media Library. Just don't be expectinga banquet or anything. It'll be just a few nice dishes for teh both of us. I only habe a few more supplies."

She did like seeing the smile on his face though. She hadn't seen Matt in awhile, and the past few days had been nothing but nervewracking, hoping he would recover soon. She smiled back, then on impulse gave him a big, long hug.

"I'll see you soon," she said, turning to go.

"I'd love some soup and fish," said Matt before Katara hugged him. It felt warm and he raised a hand, patting her on the back once before pulling away.

"Thanks. Get a little rest. I'll be fine." A beat. "And thank you so much for staying with me."

"Good," Katara said, grinning. "I'll make sure that you get my best then. I've had a good long time to learn how to cook that stuff!"

She did like the hug, and when they broke from it, Katara found her hands at her side, giving him a look that told him plainly he didn't need to give her thanks.

"Just get better," she said and flounced out of the room.
