[Volya sighs as he shuffles around the hospital, looking over his shoulder anxiously. He wasn't that comfortable, even if he had people in the Unity group with him - it wasn't fear of the knights though... rather some rough times he had. That and his mother's corpse being wheeled away after her treatments went bad. His hand brushed along where he got his vaccination shot, fingers twitching over the band aid and resisting the urge to rub at the sore spot. He takes a seat next to his chaperone for the day with a glum look on his face. A pair of staff are chatting close by.]

"Its looking pretty bad here, the kid's gonna make it sure - but what he's got? Its going to mark him for the rest of his life. "

"I know, poor guy. Heard that this thing got pretty bad in Russia. Between the weather there and just how much this thing pulled them down? It got lethal."

"They came up with a treatment for it I heard."

"With a fifty percent fatality rate. Admittedly a blood transfusion from someone that lived through it could work but that's a small list."


[As the two continued to converse, Volya's head lifts up as recognition sparks in his eyes, he knows that disease that's being discussed. He bit his lip and glanced to his side. Should he get involved? Probably... probably not but-]

"So... who's gonna let his mother know her kid's going to have to spend the rest of his life a mess because of this?"

"Not me that's for sure..."

[Needless to say THAT got his attention as he got up from his seat.]

[2] [Locked to one particular person]

Ow. Ow ow ow ow ow...

[Volya was cringing and feeling more than a little woozy after things were done. He really REALLY hated needles. Still... though... as he sat in the room with the person he helped he honestly felt a little better... emotionally. Everything else still stung like hell. He managed a small grin at the blonde boy in the bed and gave a thumbs up.]

Feeling better?

[Setsuko does not need a medical checkup, but it's bad to let kids like Volya go to hospitals unattended, so she's there.]

That is quite a grim topic for a conversation... what's wrong, Volya?

[She didn't expect the young russian to get up like that.]

You went through it? Despite a 50% failure rate...

...

I won't tell you what you should do. This is your body, and doing this could be dangerous.

[In more ways than one, Setsuko thinks.]

It's your decision. But... whatever you decide to do, I'll accept it.

Volya...

[Setsuko looks back at the boy as he disappears in the other room. She waves a little, trying to look encouraging.]

You're a good person.

Yep! I'm at 100,000%!

[The little boy makes a tiny fist pump motion.]

I'm Jacob. Hey, are you gonna stick around? My mom should be here to pick me up soon, she'll really want to thank you!

From: [personal profile] 63rd_shockwave




Great! Hang on a sec, let me get something out.

[Jacob hops out of the bed and walks over to a closet; he stumbles slightly, but catches himself.]

Hey, I didn't fall this time...Come on! I know just what to do!

[And I hope you like board games Volya because that's what you're getting roped into for the next hour.]
63rd_shockwave: (yo what)

[And indeed, a while later, that same door opens. Jacob's face lights up with glee, as who should enter the room but...]

Yo, Jacob, I heard from Dr. Hopkins about that...

...nice stranger.

[Her.]
