Josh just wondered what she was thinking now that he told her about his rank in life. Royalty. Prince of Delatorr, possible king in the near future or even far future. He stared around, the air smelled damp as always and it was cold. They were never a blistering hot world. Usually 80 was the hottest it got, and at night it got cold. Seeing your breath cold. Josh breathed in the air and was glad to be home. He looked down a small paved road and a large gray, white, and black marble castle stood there. A river running around the street breaking for the pathway and continueing. This was his home. "We have a medical staff....in the palace." He said looking his home over. This part of Delatorr remained unharmed of all the dangers of war happening else where.
"Im...Sorry if you're upset." He shrugged a bit as the dizzyness came back a bit. He relied alot of Ebony not to give out and just let him drop to the ground for as unsteady as he was, if she let go...Well splat, he would fall. "If the whole Prince thing shocked you....i just....didn't want anyone away from here.....to know."

Ebony placed another Levitation spell on him, before heading in the direction of the gigantic Palace that was able to be seen a mile away.
"That's...understandable."
Ebony stayed silent, until they finally made it to the Palace. She immediatly handed him off to the guards at the entrance who were in shock that such a "small" girl would walk so far with a man on her back. But they didn't complain. Besides, if she was an enemy, she would have probably already killed him. She followed the guards to the hospital ward, but they wouldn't allow her in the room, for fear of contamination. So, she sat down next to the large doors, and waited.

Josh was taken in immediately. Of course no one did let Ebony in the medical room which if Josh was even the slightest bit focused he probably would've complained. The doctor there was just calling out orders and people were slightly frantic especially since the Prince of Delatorr had caught this virus. Of course the scary thought was what would happen...once Josh's father heard about this? What wrath would he throw around? Would he ban his son from ever leaving Delatorr again.
Speaking of which...
A man, around his middle to late 40's rushed down the hall towards the medical room. He had dark hair unlike his son Josh but a resemblence was there. He stopped before the doors and noticed Ebony. "Are you the girl who brought him here?" He asked quite franticly waiting for a doctor or nurse to come out and speak to him or something.

Ebony sat on the ground, her legs wrapped up in her arms against her chest. It was a better idea for her to stay put so that she wouldn't get lost in the maze of hallways that the Palace most likely had. She could hear all the doctors and nurses behind the wall yelling orders frantically trying to their Prince in at least a somewhat good condition.
Ebony lifted her head slightly, as she noticed an older man walking quite quickly in her direction. She noticed the slight resemblances in his appearance that told her he was mostly likely Josh's father. Which mostly likely meant that he was the king...Ebony shot straight up, trying her best to seem formal in some way so as not to upset him.
"Are you the girl who brought him here?"
Ebony seemed like that was a rational question. He was Josh's FATHER for Pete's sake.
"Yes, I'm the one who brought him here."

The man, King Raines looked at Ebony as she spoke. She was brave to bring him here when he was in such a bad condition. But for that, he was greatful. "I thank you for your help...bringing Josh here..." He said waiting impatiently by the doors tapping his foot slightly. "How bad was he when you got here?" He felt the need to ask, just so he had somewhat of an update.
The doctors inside were calming down, trying to get some order around the place as they were doing tests, poking josh with shots and needles and just trying to get the fever down first. One doctor came out of the doors and looked at Ebony then Mr. Raines. "Sir, he's lucky he got here in time. A few more hours and the virus would've settled in and surely taken his life. But not to worry, we've got him stablized and he should be fine in a few days." The doctor smiled. "If you want...you both can go in to see him. Friends and Family only though. Of course you may go in King Raines...." And with that the doctor stepped aside from the doors.

"No problem. I'd say he had a high fever, extremely tired, and a few other symptoms."
Ebony stood there, fidgeting. She was in the presence of a King at the moment, how could she not be nervous!? She looked over at the doctor as he came out and basically told them that Josh was in stable condition, and that they could come in and see him. Ebony went to go walk in, but stopped. She could always take this chance to leave and hopefully not have to see him, for a while at least. But, she would have to teleport to go back quickly. Or she could go in, and give him the satisfaction of knowing she cared in some small way...again.
"Um...give me a moment."
Ebony walked further down the hallway, slightly away from the hospital ward, and squatted down on the ground, to think.

Mr. Raines watched at Ebony walked off a bit before he walked into the room where Josh was being held. He didn't look so good. Flushed pink cheeks- a fever, his eyes closed and his breathing a little heavy. At least he would be soon in a few days or so. Josh heard the sound of footsteps walking into the room. He opened his eyes about halfway to see his father sitting in a chair next to him. "I'm going to be fine....you don't have to worry about me....Worry about your...soldiers." Josh mumbled as the IV in his arm started to sting a little. They put some strong medication in there it was starting to make him sleepy, but josh fought against the sleep. Mr. Raines simply chuckled. "You are a soldier, so I can worry about you. But...I will need to get back to base...you sure you are okay?" Josh sighed and nodded. "Im fine....I can handle a little alone time im sure....wait- Repa hasn't come back has she-" "No she hasn't....im starting to worry about her too...but you don't have to be alone. I did see your friend out there a few minutes ago...She seemed nice."
Josh then opened his eyes fully. Ebony was still here? "She's still here? huh...i thought she would've ditched by now..." Josh said closing his eyes once again. Josh's father chuckled and stood from his chair. "Be nice. And ill see you later." And with that Josh was left alone once again. No doctors or nurses, just silence filled the room, and the sound of beeping monitors.

Ebony looked down at the marble ground, still thinking. It was silent for a while. No one was walking down the hallway, and all of the medical team had composed themselves. The king was probably talking to his son right about now, and mostly likely about her too.
"*sigh* Why did it have to be me?"
Ebony groaned and put her face in her hands, but perked up when she heard the echo of footsteps. She looked back at the hospital ward doors to see the King walking out. He must be busy. Ebony sighed once more, before standing up, and going to the hospital doors. She peeked in, and only saw Josh off in bed, sleeping, monitors all around him. She figured that. Ebony moved quickly, but silently. She grabbed a chair and went to go put it next to his bed...until she bumped into a nightstand with a vase on it. Ebony cursed violently in her mind, and quickly conjured a Levitation spell, that held up the vase and put it back on the nightstand softly. She let go a sigh of relief, put the chair down next to Josh, and sat down, watching.

Josh was sleeping already. It was hard to fight off medication in your blood stream. But sleeping was good, it was a good way to recover especially after all your energy was drained. Josh laid there silently, his breathing was steady and he looked...actually peaceful, Even with the pink look still on his cheeks, he was resting and that was good. And no weird dreams either, in fact, no dreams at all, just black nothingness.
About an hour or so later, Josh stirred around a bit before opening his eyes. Another thing about being sick was you wake up alot sometimes. His green eyes looked around the room till they fixed on Ebony. "I thought you'd be gone by now..." He said sounding sleepy. "Im here, and im being treated....you didn't have to stay." He was quiet and wasn't much in the mood to put any emotion into his words or tone, even though he was more than happy to see Ebony stayed.

Ebony looked down at Josh, as he woke up, and saw her. Right when she was planning on leaving the room too. While he was sleeping, she just let her mind wander and thought about what ever came to her mind at that moment.
"I might as well stay, seeing as how I canceled my escort, just for you."
Ebony did her best to hide her relief that he was going to be okay. He was the only person who had ever gotten close to her, well as close as he had gotten at the moment.
"And you should be glad I did all I just did for you. After what you made me go through yesterday."
Of course, she was referring to when he saw her do the Black Arts. She had never gotten caught before, and for her to be caught, by him of all people.

Although he was sick as a dog Josh could still chuckle. "Just for me? why im flattered." But his joking turned to a cough. "Maybe i shouldn't laugh." he mumbled trying to relax his energy. It was good have someone here and not be alone, even if Ebony was irritated with Josh, which is what Josh thought. "Im glad you didn't throw me off that cliff." He said to Ebony thinking of what he could do now. She has done so much for him, not to mention save his life. "Ebony...thank you. You've helped me out so much, and if you hadn't arrived when you did...I probably would've died on the streets of Cocoon." He then winced a little before closing him eyes, but he was still awake.
"Heh, lucky me i get to spend a few days in here." Josh chuckled again but this time he was okay, no coughing or anything. "You're welcome to anything here by the way...food, a room, anything you need just call one of my servants and they're do whatever you need." Josh spoke clearly now, a sign of already feeling better.

"Yeah, yeah. Whatever"
Ebony moved a bit in her chair so that her side was leaning on the chair and she was facing the opposite wall. She brought her legs up, and wrapped her arms around them, placing her head on her knees. She was started to get tired herself, but for some strange and unknown reason (to her) she didn't feel like moving. She just sat there, and listened to Josh babble on. Well, that was one sign he was getting better. Of course, when he got to the part about anything she needed, she perked up just slightly and listened. She decided she would take that as payment for her deeds.

Josh stayed quiet for awhile. Shockingly. He was so worn out and tired but he just couldn't go back to sleep right now. It was weird. For some reason he would stay awake, while he was so tired. He just rested and kept quiet. With nothing more to say to her, for now, or...well this wasn't the time or place to say anything back to his original plotting. Here he could at least think of what to say, edit it in his mind and perfect his words.
A nurse then came in. All smiles. It was kinda...weird. "Joshy?" She said as Josh opened his eyes then a look of horror came on his face. The nurse was a girl from his highschool who was the type to write Mrs. Joshua Raines on her notebooks. "Erm....I think im feeling better." Josh said sitting up trying to act as if he were feeling better. "Oh lay down Silly, im here to give you medicine." She said putting medicine into his IV tube and walking out of the room. Josh still sat up. "I want to leave."

Ebony was slightly dozing off when the creepy, smily, "sweetheart" nurse walked in to "check" on Josh. She opened her eyes, watching the nurses movements very closely. With the way she was talking, Ebony was slowly was starting to extremely dislike her. She reminded her of the snobby princesses she had to escort. Which did not turn into a good image for Ebony at the moment.
After the nurse left, Ebony looked over at Josh who looked like he desperately wanted to leave.
"I'm guessing she isn't exactly your favorite?"

Josh just blinked for a minute before speaking once again, not even looking at Ebony, his eyes fixed on the door. "Favorite is probably an overstatement." He muttered laying back on his pillow again and staring at the Ceiling. "I don't want to stay in here for a few days....I think by tomorrow...I'll be just fine....or at least enough to go back to my own room." He shrugged, a question ran through his mind he wanted to ask, but...didn't feel like asking now, would make her think about leaving. Josh was gonna ask how long Ebony planned on staying. If he made her think about it, she might just leave once he got out of "intensive care." Josh didn't want that, of course if she did leave he would just go back to cocoon soon enough.
(hey idea. Ill send it to you via PM.)
