Ooo, ahh, ooo, and ahh again! The Prince hadn't forgotten that he and Jenet were on a mission to find Asuka's bandages, but there was just so much to look at and touch and play with and jump on and... and... and other things that The Prince couldn't even remember he did!

They managed to find a small store where they could pick up what they needed. The Prince didn't have any money himself, but either Jenet did or they got what they needed some other way because they soon left with some bandages and various bottles of medicine. The Prince was mesmerized by the bottles of pills. He wanted to open one and play with the little eggs inside. So when Jenet wasn't looking he took one, though he was hardly stealthy about it. Turning away from her, The Prince tried to open the bottle.

But it wouldn't open.

He twisted and pulled at the top, doing just about everything he could to open it. Somehow, he just couldn't. The Prince finally gave up on this, and sheepishly returned the bottle to Jenet, as she had probably noticed what he had done by then.

When they arrived at the hotel The Prince was quite amazed by it. While not exactly glamorous, it was certainly grand by The Prince's standards. He was so excited at the prospect of seeing his friends again that he immediately entered the lobby and yelled out their names. "Mr. Auron! Miss Asuka!" That would draw some stares.

The way Auron had said I lost my eye trying to guard Braska made it clear to Asuka that he had tried and failed. Trying to not poke at that subject anymore, she listens closely to him trying to cheer her up. The first reason he gave to her is not very comforting as it has been more than a day that she left it untreated, but the second, about young people being innately resilient and all comforted her a bit. "I'm not gonna blame you if I go blind," Asuka mumbles, not even sure why she said it.

I need you to count those rolls of bandage for me, Prince. I want to wrap this as neatly as possible. Afterwards we'll have a look at your head and then call it a night. Auron says to The Prince, turning Asuka's attention to the unbelievably hyperactive little boy. The boy starts counting the rolls in a very loud voice, attracting the attention of other people in the lobby.

Asuka leans back on the couch, closing her eyes, just listening to The Prince shouting out numbers and Auron's repetitive rubbing over her skin. She feels warm inside, and rather sleepy. Could this be how it is like to feel safe? She chuckles, but not bitterly this time, "tell me, what would you honestly want in return for doing this for me?"
