 Without Bogert around for directions, Dash had no idea where he was going. It didn’t occur to him either that if Bogert were to return, that he might not be able to find him with his wandering around like this. But he really wasn’t thinking about either of these things at the moment. He really hadn’t wanted to hurt that girl. She seemed like a really nice girl, even. So… he felt guilty. He’d been telling the truth, but the truth hurt her. Maybe he should of gone along with the lie, and pretend to be someone he wasn’t? … It’d of spared her feelings in the short run but… He drug his hand across his face, looking around the hospital halls as he walked. It seemed so odd to be somewhere so… clean and pristine. Absolutely nothing like the grimy, perpetually darkened halls of Robotropolis. And the scent of sanitizers, medicine, and sickness seemed almost overbearing- especially to a sense of smell that was only recently regained. In fact, coupled with his already heavy heart, he was starting to feel pretty ill from it all. Of course, his first assumption wasn’t that it was the fault of the hospital odors that his sensitive sense of smell was picking up that was making him feel sick, but the thought that perhaps something had gone wrong with Bogert’s deroboticizer. Again. He shuddered at the thought. If he didn’t spontaneously change back into his former state, was he going to spend the rest of his (probably short) life sick? Then again, maybe he deserved it. Like with how he broke that girl’s heart. … Yeah, he figured he deserved it. |

 Bunnie let the door click behind her, and for a moment she just stood there quietly resting her hands against the wood, her ears drooping as she quietly contemplated. Finally she learned her head back, drawing in a deep breath of air and pushing herself away. Think positive thoughts, she told herself. Okay, things seemed pretty bad right now. But give it a little time and things would become better, more manageable, right? Right. Feeling slightly better she turned and began to walk off the way she'd come, looking around for Dash as she went. When she finally spotted him she approached him, gently brushing her hand on his shoulder. "Hey there sugah," |

 Of course, him not long ago having been in a very, VERY traumatizing situation, being touched suddenly on the shoulder by someone who may as well of snuck up on him, and by someone with a metal hand... well... He shrieked not too unlike a little girl. It was quiet embarrassing, really. Not to mention, being a tenrec, his spines suddenly fluffed out in fear much like (or exactly like, really) a spiny afro. Good thing for Bunnie that she'd used her metallic hand. |

Bunnie, quite understandably not expecting that kind of reaction, also shrieked and jumped backward. Into a wall. Ow. |

"What in Chaos' name?" echoed a voice down the hall. A human in a white nurse outfit suddenly came bustling down the hallway, and came across Bunnie and Dash. He looked suprised for a moment, noticing that Bunnie seemed to have just slammed into a wall. He walked over and gave the rabbot a look-over.
"Ma'am, are you alright? Why did you scream so fearfully just now?" he asked, concerned.

Dash didn't seem to notice the human's sudden appearance, instead more or less spinning in place, frantically looking around him, eyes wide in fear and breathing bordering on hyperventilating. The fact that there really weren't any cobalt blue robots around did a bit to soothe him, but not much. |

Bunnie clutched at her rapidly beating heart, shivering with adrenaline. She glanced at the nurse and then pointed at Dash. "Th-that first scream was from him." |

The male nurse blinked. Well, that was certaintly very odd. He gave Bunnie one last look, to make sure she was just frightened and nothing worse, then looked to Dash.
"Well, why did you scream then?" he asked, "Generally, hospitals are suppossed to be quiet." Biased? Mayyybe.

Dash looked over to the nurse and fumbled over his words. Or at least, they seemed to be attempted words. They might of just been garbled noises of some sort. Between the hospital stink, his hyperventilating, and his most likely skyrocketing blood pressure, the tenrec looked about ready to f- Oh wait, nevermind, he did faint. |

"..." The male nurse bent down to look over the fallen tenrec, noticing that his pulse was extremely vigorous. Whatever had happened was apparrently bad enough to make him faint, though that 'whatever' could range from food allergens to extreme shock.
He went to pick up Dash, and suddenly recoiled with a curse. One of Dash's spines had lodged itself into the doctor's forearm. After picking the quill out and putting on heavy rubber gloves, the doctor picked up the fallen tenrec, "Well, I suppose we just got ourselves another patient." he said lightheartedly to Bunnie, and then carried Dash to an empty patient room.

. . . " Ohhhhh boy," Bunnie moaned softly to herself, rubbing at the top of her head as she tottered off after the doctor. |

The male nurse placed the unconcious spiny insectivore on the bed, checked his pulse again, and found it to still be racing. Curious, he strapped Dash's forearm into a blood pressure pump, and looked at the little needle that determined how high it was.
The nurse's eyebrows rose. He turned to the door, and saw that Bunnie had followed him.
"Ah, miss, if you don't mind, could you look after him while I get some medication? Try not to get him overly stressed if he wakes up- his blood pressure is through the roof." He gave a curt nod in thanks, then went off in search of the medicine he needed.

The rabbit looked worriedly between the two over this news, but she nodded her head obediently. "Alright," she responded as she rushed over to Dash's side to see him better for herself. In the back of her mind she wondered if she should tell Leda about this. |

And the nurse came back with a bag full of liquid and an IV drip. He quickly began setting the drip up, skewering a vein in Dash's arm with a needle and hooking up the drip to it. The liquid began to slide down, slowly but surely easing whatever had made the poor tenrec's system so dangerously tense.
"Well... I suppose that's all I can really do for now. Unless of course you happen to know what caused this in the first place, mam?"

Bunnie pondered over just how to answer that. For all she knew it could have been some kind of side effect over turning into a robot and back. But how was she supposed to explain something like that to him without sounding even remotely crazy? Heck, if she hadn't seen it with her own two eyes, the tall-tale-telling rabbit would and probably blown it off as bull herself! "... All I can think of's nerves m'self. Poor boy's had a heck of a rough day." |

The male nurse raised an eyebrow in response to that. "Some day. It'll take something extremely stressful for this.... is he a hedgehog or a tenrec.... young lad to have collapsed as he did." That left the nurse with a nagging feeling as to wonder what in fact did happen.
Meanwhile, the bag was either half-empty, or half-full. Take your pick.

A bit after the nurse left, the albino tenrec stirred. Groggily, he blinked. "... huh?" |

Bunnie, finding herself diligently sitting at a hospital bedside for the second time that day, glanced up the moment she heard the tenrec. She kept quiet for the moment, deciding to allow him some space to fully awaken before overwhelming him again. |

The rabbit's head jerked to one side. "Princess? There ain't no princess here, honey. Oh, ah, hold on a moment..." she stood up and went over toward the door. Peeking her head out she glanced toward the nurse's station she flagged down the same nurse from before. "Oh, suh? Suh!" she called. "He's awake now!" |

The nurse blinked as Bunnie found him, "Ah, he is, is he? Well let's go see how that medicine did." Mr. Nurse briskly walked back to the tenrec's room, and as he opened the door, he indeed saw a groggy tenrec in the bed. Groggy, but awake.
"Hello there. How are you feeling sir? Any discomfort?"

The tenrec's turned towards the nurse, and his focus followed afterwards. Slowly, but surely. In response to the question, he lifted his arm and pointed it. "I haff a TUBE in mah ARM." |

The nurse tried to keep his face straight as he answered the tenrec. "I'll take that as a no." he said, failing to conceal a twitch in the left corner of his lip. The medicine was working fine alright.... but it was still hilarious to see the after-effects.
As for the tenrec's actual statement, the Male Nurse added, "And that tube in your arm is medicine. You had abnormally high bloodpressure, which was probably the reason you fainted. I'd like to know what happened."

Dash opened his mouth to speak, but then shut it, not exactly having an answer. And then he did it a second time. However, third time, he turned to Bunnie. "Wut happened?" |

Bunnie just gave a sheepish look and sorta canted her head to one side. "Actually, Ah was hopin' ya'll'd be able to tell me that." |

"... oh." He turned his attention to the nurse. "Do yoo know?" Ignoring the fact that he was the one to ask the question in the first place. |

... Okay, maybe a little TOO much medication. "... No I don't, which was why I asked." the nurse sighed. "Well, let's start from the top. Do either of you know what happened before he screamed?" Mr. Nurse asked, pointing at the druged Dash.
