⌛ When: Evening of Oct 3
⌛ Where: Hospital + Wen Qing's house
⌛ Warnings: A lot of growly boys probably, but will update as needed


It's getting dark outside when Wen Qing arrives at the hospital with Jiang Cheng in tow. She has a leather bag full of medical supplies strapped over one shoulder as they head toward the room Kinn told her. The building makes her uncomfortable, but she doesn't let it show.

She knocks on her patient's door and bows to whoever answers it.

Kinn leveled a stare at Pete. He thought they would all be in the same room? Even Kinn knew better than that. "I'll take the upstairs room," he drawled, breathing out a sigh as he shook his head slightly. He didn't know how comfortable a futon would be on the floor but currently, beggars couldn't be choosers. If he had the money, he would have outfitted this place with proper beds. That was something to think about.

Most of the maneuvering Vegas was handled by Pete while Kinn appeared to be helpful in setting up the futon and keeping the chair steady so that the injured man could be moved. And he was so quiet, not knowing what to say at first. The reunion was more awkward than he thought it would be. "It is good to see you two again," he offers, moving the chair to one corner once he could.

In Kinn's defense, as far as Vegas is concerned, the last time they saw each other wasn't under the best of circumstances. He felt awkward too, wondering what things would be like now that there wasn't a business to run and a family reputation to protect.

Vegas didn't complain during the whole process of moving only because Pete was doing the bulk of the manual labor in handling him. He took small, shuffling steps from the chair to the futon and grunted like an old man when he was lowered onto it. Note to self: don't get shot like this again.

Once Vegas was lying down, he stared at the ceiling a moment before turning to look at his cousin. "We should talk. Tomorrow. I'm tired."

[drqingmedwoman]

Wen Qing steps away as the men take over arranging themselves with the futons and such. She keeps an ear out in case she hears any sounds of distress, but otherwise goes and starts a kettle of tea. She places some healing herbs in Vegas' cup and some mildly calming herbs in everyone else's.

Lastly, she sets a pot of water on the stove to start some dinner for them.

[unleashedpet]

Oh. He heard that? Shit. He thought he'd been quieter about that. Pete gave Kinn a smile and then focused on settling Vegas in, making sure that he was covered up and that his wounds hadn't torn open and so on. Everything looked good though. Whatever this doctor had done had helped.

"It's good to see you too, Khun Kinn." He paused then edited that because the stress was finally passing. "Kinn. Get some rest. I'll watch over Vegas."

As if he'd be anywhere else but his side right now.

[50000baht]

He feels like he can finally relax now that Pete is doing so as well. He really was one of the good ones that got away. “Take care of him, Pete.” He was more than agreeable to speak to Vegas tomorrow. Now wasn’t a good time at all to fill his cousin in on what had happened or what was going on now. He had other potential fires to extinguish, namely the one that hovered over the good doctor like a shadow. As he passed through the kitchen, he noticed Wen Qing in the kitchen area and paused a moment.

“I can help, if you like.” He’s not the greatest cook, but he can assist in piecing something together. “Once I speak with your companion. He looked like he wanted a conversation.”

Kinn knew jealousy when he saw it and it was time he at least tried to tamp down that concern this Wanyin seemed to have.

[safesex]

And once again it's just him and Pete. A relief. He reaches out to Pete from where he lays and makes an annoyed sound.

"Help me sit up, Pete."

Whatever the others are doing, he's sure the doctor will be back soon with all sorts of doctor things: medicines and examinations. And Vegas just wants to sleep. This whole escape exhausted him.

[drqingmedwoman]

Qing smiles at Kinn when he joins her in the kitchen. "Mm, if you'd like." Glancing toward her guard leopard, there's a slightly less-than-amused not to the expression and she returns her gaze to her guest. "Let me know if he gives you trouble. I meant it when I said you three were safe and welcome here."

She might have words with Cheng later about all of this.

While she waits for him to come back, she adds some honey to the teacups and eventually gets a tray together for everyone.

[unleashedpet]

Pete moved over to help Vegas up and made sure that he was the one pulling the weight rather than the damaged muscles. And for that same reason, he moved to put his own body behind the injured man to make him lean against him him. He could support him easily and this would put less strain on him. Gently, he pressed a kiss to his cheek and fixed his hair a little

"After she's done you can sleep and I'll watch over you," he promised him quietly, fingers running through his hair to keep him calm.

Cheng didn't appreciate the implication that he was going to be problematic. He didn't know these people, one of them was severely injured, and everyone was acting as if he was going to fly off the handle and whip them all with Zidian! Okay, so that thought might have crossed his mind, but did they really think he'd do it?

Maybe he was in the way of all this.

Wen Qing only remembered him from the time when he was at his most volatile. These strangers were just that. They didn't know him. He didn't know them. At the very least, one of them was going to speak to him, which was a relief. He wanted to be at least aware of what was going on.

He leaves with Kinn to go talk and it's probably a good fifteen minutes before either of them returns.

Vegas couldn’t be more relieved that Pete was there. Even Kinn’s presence set him at ease. Something familiar in this strange place. He breathed out a sigh.

“This place is weird.” Then, “How long have you been here, Pete?”

[drqingmedwoman]

Qing watches as the two sect leader types go outside with measuring tape or whatever they're doing. She finishes with the tea and picks up the tray to carry into her new patient's room.

She clears her throat in the doorway to alert them and goes to set it down near Vegas' bed. "This will have a bitter taste, but drink the herbs," she advices. "You as well, Khun Pete. I know you've all had a trying day."

"How are you feeling?" She carefully touches Vegas' forehead with her two fingers like before.

[unleashedpet]

"I think I arrived when you did."

But he couldn't discuss more because the doctor came in. So he made sure he was supporting Vegas completely while staying out of her way. Nodding that he'd drink the tea and make sure that Vegas did too, he gently rubbed his hand over one of the man's arms to soothe him.

He was here for him. He wasn't going anywhere.

[safesex]

He's grateful for Pete's support. It more ways than one. This whole situation would be more harrowing if only Kinn were there.

Vegas turned his focus to Wen Qing and nodded in greeting when she came in. She won't find any sign of fever, that's been long gone along with the immediate danger. All the moving from the hospital to the new lodgings left him feeling exhausted and aching.

"Tired," he admitted. "A little sore."

[drqingmedwoman]

Her hand moves to briefly and lightly touch the top of Vegas' head when she finds he's well enough. Giving him an encouraging smile, she stands. "The tea should help with that. Try to get some rest as soon as you can. I'll have some stew on the stove if you get hungry later."

She looks to Pete and gives him a gentle warning. "You should eat too. You won't do him any good if you neglect your own wellbeing while you are helping him."

"If either of you need anything else tonight, I'm in the first room on the left at the top of the stairs. That door over there is a private bathroom."

Unless they say they need anything else, she'll go back to the kitchen to wait for Cheng and Kinn to come back.

[unleashedpet]

"I will. I know better than to neglect my own health when others are in my care." When he was prisoner? Well that was another story that only he and Vegas knew the details of. And it wasn't one he planned to share anytime soon. So he just gave her a reassuring smile that said he fully understood what he needed to do.

Sure she didn't know about his years as a bodyguard but he understood what was required of him far better than most ever would in this situation.

Once she was gone, he pressed a kiss to Vegas' hair. "Let's get that tea in you then you can sleep as long as you want to."

[safesex]

Vegas wasn't going to make a fuss about the tea. He was tired and despite all the sleep he was getting, very little of it was restful. He couldn't move around much in his sleep without hurting something. But the pains were less sharp than they had been even two weeks ago. For that he was thankful.

He took the tea and made a face at it. He wasn't much of a tea drinker, but at least Wen Qing warned them it would be bitter. "Hey, Pete? Can you do me a favor?"

[unleashedpet]

A hand hovered nearby to make sure that the tea wouldn't spill. Not because he didn't trust Vegas but just in case never hurt. Especially when the man was still very injured and now exhausted.

"What is it?"

[safesex]

A wicked little grin came over his face and he dropped his voice to a low whisper. "Can you go get us something spicy to eat?" Stew did not sound appealing at the moment.

[unleashedpet]

Okay that made the hovering hand come up to cover his mouth instead to hide his laughter. "I'll sneak out in a bit to go get us something spicy."

[safesex]

"Good boy."

The look on his face said he regretted those words as soon as they came out. Hadn't he promised Pete that he was no longer just a pet?

"Shit! I didn't mean..."

[unleashedpet]

Pete realized what had happened right away and his expression softened. Careful to not tip over the tea, he caught his chin to turn it to face him so he could give him a kiss.

"I know I'm not your pet. I can still be your good boy though."

[safesex]

Well. That's probably the sexiest thing anyone's ever said to him. Tired? Who's tired? Not Vegas. Now he's just horny, dammit. He drew the cup to his lips to hide whatever change his expression made. Though knowing Pete, it was probably too late. He probably saw and recognized Vegas' expression for exactly what it was.
