Siebzehn - [Action/Voice]

[On the last night of the draft, Kurt took a major beating. For those who had been there, Kurt had become a flurry of teleportations, moving in and out of the enemies and becoming almost impossible to follow. He doesn't know how many he might have wounded or killed, but it had all been halted when he got stabbed with a near fatal wound. He doesn't even recall what happened after that. In fact, between that and the sickness, he only wakes up today in a bed in the medical center. When he tries to get up, he realizes that's not so much a good idea.

At the very least, he finds his journal next to him. So... he pulls that out to ask the inevitable question on his mind.]

I'm back in one piece. Sorry if I worried anyone, but I'm ahh... not even sure what happened.

... so, did we win?

[He gives a nod and lets the magic do its effect, while trying to relax along with it.]

[When she's through with the magic, she smiles again and pats his hand]

I can go, and let you sleep. [although he is free to protest.]

[He opens one eye and glances at her.]

You don't have to go. [But she doesn't have to stay either. He's stuck in a bed. He's not very entertaining here.]

As long as I'm not disturbing you. Is there anything I can get for you?

[Well he doesn't want to put her out, but there are those vending machines in the dome, so...]

I'm allowed to drink some soda, right?

I don't see why not.

[not knowing much at all about soda other than the taste.]

You could get us some, yeah? There's some machines out in the middle of the dome. They're not too hard to use.

[... he hopes. He's from the computer age. Mia, not so much.]

All right. I'll see what I can do.

[it might take her ten minutes to figure it out. But she has the forethought to also find him a cup to drink from. And she will come back with...one green bottle and one brown bottle.]

[In the meantime, Kurt at least gets to sit up in bed and poke around in the journal and ask some questions. After she's back, he at least looks a little better.]

So which one's mine?

[it's good to see him looking better]

Ah...whichever one you would like.

Okay... let's go with the green one, then.

[He could use the caffeine.]

[the green one gets poured into the cup for him. He's already sitting up, at least.]

[A cup, huh? He could have handled it in a bottle, but he figures it's a culture thing or something.]

Thanks, Mia. [He takes a sip.] So... what's your home like? [It's an abrupt question, sure, but they're going to be here for awhile and he really doesn't know that much about her yet.]

My home? ...It's a town in the north called Imil. It's very cold there.

[Imil... okay, he'll try to remember that.]

Really? How cold?

So cold that it is covered in snow for most of the year.

[... so in real world terms, that must make Mia... Canadian!]

Do you have any kind of snow sports then like... hockey?

[she lives in the real world!]

Not...that I know of. What is it?

You place it on ice, yeah? So you skate around and hit this puck with a stick... and try to get it in a goal.

[A pause and he quickly adds:]

It's funner than it sounds!

It sounds...difficult.

[Sorry Kurt. She's not Canadian, even if she is nice enough to be one.]

Yeah, I guess. I've never played it. [And clearly she hasn't either. Okay, so... moving on.]

I guess being used to all that snow makes it rough being here, yeah?

Not really. I have been to many places in Weyard, and some of them are much like this one.

Ahh, I get it, world traveler. [Let's see... fantasy world, travels the world, lots of magic.] I bet you were trying to stop some big evil guy, yeah?

...Well, in a way, yes. [HOW DOES HE KNOW?] I mean...I would like to hope that his intentions were not, at the start, evil.

[MIND READER.]

I don't think anyone wakes up and decides to hurt people. Some people just... it just happens to them. They cross a line and can't go back. [The way he says it, this is clearly something that is more than just philosophical to him.]
