Murphy was... annoyed to say the least. If he hadn't intervened they'd have a lot of heavily injured or dead people in there, and he highly doubted whomever had told him it would be going on his permanent record actually had the authority to do such... whatever, at least Milk was fine. He doubted that a few minor cuts and a contusion to her forehead would do much to stop her. Besides, she was being released later anyways so everything worked out in the end.

He threw himself down on a bench and lit a cigarette, cheerfully ignoring the 'We Thank You For Not Smoking' signs along the courtyard fences. Fuck it, saving people's lives, no matter how stupid or ungrateful they were, earned him a smoke. He blew a puff of smoke and watched the hospital building, content to stay there all day until Milk came out.

Milk had woken up about an hour after Murphy, groggy and confused. She was...Mad right? At what? She couldn't remember. Shaking the cobwebs from her head, she listened to the doctors and nodded. She was informed that medicine would be left in her quarters. Milk nodded, having no questions. She felt weak. It was...a familiar feeling. It made her feel cold and disgusting inside. She hated it.

Oh well...At least she was out. She could get back to training. The doctors told her to take it easy for the next few weeks, but she was most likely going to ignore them. The fighter was annoyed, she didn't want to have to ride this stupid wheelchair. She could walk! But noooo. Hospital policy.

Milk blinked rapidly as she was wheeled outside, the nurse wishing her the best of health. Milk stood up, wearing a fresh uniform. She didnt have the bandages around her hands and feet, choosing instead to use them on her actual injuries around her chest.

She was unused to feeling her bare feet touch the ground, the familiar feeling of her training bandages gone. The fighter clenched a fist, frowning at the slight shaking of her hand. She didn't often lose control...It really messed with her bones.

A sigh, followed by the shaking of her head. Milk started moving, intent on returning to her quarters.

Murphy lay curled on the bench across from the medical entrance and emitted a soft snore as he dozed. Despite all of his earlier determination to be awake and aware until his friend was released his body had kindly reminded him that, until forced into unconsciousness, he'd gotten only a few hours of sleep over the past few days, and it was time to pay up. The smoldering butt of a cigarette dangled between his lips and a few more had been collected neatly atop his bag. Even if he was breaking the rules, there was no reason to be sloppy about it.

It had been a trying few days and if someone decided to bother him, on their head be it.

Milk glanced over when she heard a snore, looking away when she saw it was just Murphy. Murphy! The fighter immediately moved over to the sleeping student. She was about to say something when she noticed the cigarettes on his bag, and the one in his lips. Milk frowned. Smoking? Nono. That is bad for your lungs, thus making you weak.

She shoved Murphy's shoulder, crossing her arms. She looked down at his sleeping form, waiting for him to awaken.

In his head, visions of the past played and mingled with the present. He saw Cynthia performing on stage, cards flying from one hand to another. As she spun around she gazed at the audience, and looking into them their emerald shine shifted to a deep brown and fire burned within. As she stopped it was Milk who stood before him, bones writhing and churning beneath her skin. As she roared in anger, Murphy found himself being shaken awake.

He groggily sat up, shading his eyes against the afternoon sun. "Milk? Izzat you?" he muttered sleepily. He scratched his head and grinned, "Good to see you up and about, don't suppose you remember almost going off on a couple of nurses trying to keep ya down?" Instinctively, he reached for his lighter to light up the remains of his cigarette.

Milk frowned sharply, before she extended a hand to slap the lighter out of Murphys hand. "No." Was all the fighter said, her normal monotone sounding scratchy and dry. She was still a little thirsty.

She shifted her weight slightly, crossing her arms again. She was silent now.

Murphy sat there for a minute in confusion when she bapped the lighter aside, after a few moments he realized the source of her annoyance. "Ah, right...er, it was just a couple.... of..them...heh." he coughed and reached into his bag. It was doubtful that Milk had eaten or drank anything while in the hospital, and it had been a while for him too. Probably all the caffeine and nicotine. Eventually he found what he was looking for and tossed her a small water bottle. "I'm willing to bet you're thirsty and probably hungry, wanna go grab somethin' in town? On me."

He gave her a quick once over. She seemed healthy enough, though without her usual hand and foot wraps she seemed... pretty? Nah... must be sleep dep.

The fighter caught the bottle with a quick nod of gratitude before she downed the entire thing in one swallow. She handed the bottle back before staring at Murphy.

"Why would I grab something off of you? Why would I not just take the provisions from the shopkeepers. Did you injure your head Murphy." She asked, cocking her head to the side, confused.

Murphy slapped a palm to his forehead. Right, metaphors bad "Er, no. What I meant was uh, did you want to get some grub, wait, no. I mean, did you want to snag some fo- damn it." he fumbled for a while before loudly declaring. "May I buy you dinner?"

The words echoed around the courtyard for a few moments, and a passing group of students giggled as they passed by. It occurred to him that there were more people around than he realized, and that this would probably be circulating around the school's notorious grapevine within minutes. Wonderful.

Milk stared at Murphy as he facepalmed. He started rambling after that, further confusing the girl. She cocked her head to the side, as normal, when he finally asked the question. She nodded, closing her eyes. "Ah. That is what you were attempting to ask. Yes you may." She said curtly with her normal monotone.
