I'M FREEEEEEEE!

[ here you have all these people apologizing, but not Sora. he's showing off to the Link, looking as energetic as ever. ]

NO MORE CLINIC FOR MEEEEE!

[ but then he stops, arms folding over his chest and it's almost like he's not even talking to anyone but himself. ]

Guess it really wasn't that bad. Sure, being sick sucked and all, but I think I was pretty well taken care of. He was a lot more worried than he let on though. You know, some of you robot guys are giant, yeah? Giant dorks, I think is better.

[ oops. guess he had been talking to the Link after all. ]

Think Knock Out's gonna have to drag me back after being stuck there for an entire month, though. Not going back until I have to!

[ and Sora is getting better at reading Knock Out too. the guy might say this or that, but that's not what's really going on. it's why Sora snorts and rolls his eyes. ]

I didn't try to do that in the first place, you know.

[ but hold on. watch him get comfortable for a moment. ]

But I did want to thank you. Didn't mean to worry you too, even if it was all that energon stuff doing things. Yeah, I didn't like being all cooped up and stuff, but you were here checking up on me. You need to know I appreciate it is all.

[deadlydoctor]

[That's really cool Sora but you could keep that secret knowledge to yourself and not tell everyone when he does something nice.

Knock Out's relaxing marginally. Having people thank you feels...what people called it? The opposite of feeling bad.]

You are welcome, Sora. [He's a bit overwhelmed, excuse the brief reply.]

[heartdive]

[ it feels good doesn't it? nice, warm, and pleasant. get used to it. embrace it. ]

This means I get a break from work, right?

[deadlydoctor]

['GOOD', that was the word. It does. It's really strange. Nuuuuuuu.]

... [He know this was too good to be true.] It's not like you do a lot of work around here, I'm sure I'll survive a week without you.

[heartdive]

Who said I was going to leave you alone for a week?

[deadlydoctor]

I get two weeks of freedom then? You said you were sick of this place.

[heartdive]

Sick of this place, yeah. Not sick of you.

[ because he likes you, dipstick. ]

[deadlydoctor]

You know that you can still take two weeks to relax and come see me from time to time, Kid.

['Cos he likes you too.]

[heartdive]

That's kinda what I had in mind. Don't need two weeks off, though.

[deadlydoctor]

[Knock Out makes sure Sora's properly sat on his neck and it's not at risk to fall before moving his hand away. Said hand goes to his hip and he looks more at ease.]

What other plans do you have? Ar eyou going to hug Rapunzel too for her help?

[heartdive]

[ for a moment or two, Sora thinks about this. his arms fold over his chest and he hums. ]

Probably!

[deadlydoctor]

Just hug her...? [Knock Out raises an eyebrow.]

[heartdive]

What else would I do?

[ seriously. giving you an odd look, Knock Out. ]

[deadlydoctor]

[Figures that subtlety wouldn't work with this one.] ...nothing. You are to young for that anyway. [YOU AIN'T ALLOWED TO DATE UNTIL YOU ARE 40, MISTER.]

[heartdive]

Too young for what?

[ what are you talking about!? ]

[deadlydoctor]

To be seeing girls.

[Is it clear now?]

[heartdive]

K-Knock Out!

[ awww gawd. why you gotta do that! you got him all shouty and blushing...

and maybe almost falling off of that shoulder. ]

[deadlydoctor]

Yes, that's my name. [Don't tell him he found something else to bother you about? Oh Primus, this is golden.

No worries, Knock Out will catch him if he falls.]

What's wrong?

[heartdive]

I'm not gonna be dating anyone!

[ huff huff ]

I've already got a crush on a girl back home!

[deadlydoctor]

Good, because you are still a hatch....WHAT. Who? [Ohhhh gossip.]

[heartdive]

Were you just about to call me a hatchling?

[deadlydoctor]

Do you even know what a hatchling is? And don't try to change the subject. Who's the girl?

[heartdive]

Something that's born from an egg.

[ changing subject forever! ]

[deadlydoctor]

[What]

N..no, I assure you my people has nothing to do with that or chickens. [EW]

[Keep trying.] Is she your age?

[heartdive]

Yeah, she is.

[ rolls eyes. ]

So what were you going to say.
