[It's been four days since this incident took place, and now Yuan's finally fully regaining consciousness. The first thing he notices is a pounding headache. Roughly ten seconds later, he realizes his surroundings aren't quite what he expected to see. He's lying virtually face-down in a bed in the clinic. Peculiar, because last he remembers, he'd left the village and headed for the mountains. Raine had come to see him, but his recollection turns a bit fuzzy after that. The white wolf was there as well. And there was a searing pain... Like his entire body had cried out in protest.

He sits up straight with some difficulty, taking deep breaths to steady himself. His hands... They're just as they always were. A quick inspection tells him there's no sign of the black rash anywhere. Aku's presence is gone, leaving him to feel drained and somewhat sore. Some time passes in which he regains his senses and tries to sort out most of his memories. Dammit, what had he been doing?

Finally, he grabs his journal from the nightstand, wondering briefly who'd left it here for him to find. Probably the same person who dragged him to the clinic in the first place.]

[Jack and Kratos]
The illness has been cured.

[Raine]
Where are you?

[With that done, he lies back to rest. He really does hate the clinic, but right now he's in no state to leave. Visitors will be received grudgingly but without protest.]

... yes.

[A pause.] Is there anything you need?

I'm fine for now. [He's just got a horrible headache. He can sleep that off.]

... Hm. If you're certain...

I am. [He lies back again, making himself more comfortable.]

... Then I'll drop by to see you later. Right now, you just need your rest.

You don't have to trouble yourself.

Honestly. It's not any trouble.

[Sigh.] Fine. If you insist.

... Good. [She sighs a little.]

[...] Are you honestly worried?

... What kind of question is that?

The kind that I expect an answer to.

I'm concerned. Is there a problem?

[He smirks at that.] No problem. I just wanted to hear it with my own ears.

Was there any reason for that?

It's nice to know that someone cares.

... Oh.

[But she can't deny that it is nice to hear that, especially when it's unexpected.]

[No kidding. Remember those times when he wouldn't mind seeing you dead, Raine? Those were the days.]

Hm.

... R-right. So. I trust you won't be running of again, once you've recovered?

[Oh, come on.] You have to admit I had every reason to leave the village, this time.

This time. Some warning would have been nice.

I left a note.

[She shakes her head, annoyed at herself for slipping into a lecture-mode yet again.] ... In any case, I suppose it doesn't matter so much now. I'm sorry.

It's fine, it's fine. [He gives a quick wave of his hand.] Next time, I'll leave a detailed report on where I'm headed and why.

[He may be sarcastic, here. Just a little.]

It wasn't as if it was difficult to track you down.
