"I will." He promised, "Just not now, right now you're kinda my top priority..." Jack gave a reassuring grin, making a mental note to find out which room was Aiden's. The pianist sighed, half-amused despite himself. "Yeah, see, that's why you shouldn't be sitting up..."

Hotaru sighed, frustrated. "But this feels weird." she pouted. "Makes me feel all vulnerable and all." she sighed, followed by Matsuda patting her head lightly.
"It's alright." the blond Megumi said. "Hey, I'm gonna see if I can find Keisko real quick." After all, he hadn't seen her in who knows how long and wanted some sort of an explanation. "I'll be back in a minute."
Hotaru nodded her head a little. "Alright, see ya." she muttered before watching her brother exit the room. When he left, the ex gang leader looked over at Jack again. "So how are you feeling?" she asked, feeling more than a little worried for him after everything that had went on that day.

Jack gave a shrug and pulled over a chair, being careful not to disturb the wires and whatnot that surrounded Hotaru's bed. "Tired mostly, kinda worried too, a little... lost? Not quite the word I wanna use, but it works I guess." He gave another shrug. "It'll all blow over in a few days though, so I'll be fine."

Hotaru frowned a little. "I'm sorry." she said, looking back down at her lap. "Wish there was an easier way for all this to end." she told him. She really wished they could, too. If there was a way to deal with all of this without anyone getting hurt. Sure, it helped face her fears and everything, but still, now something might have happened to Aiden and she didn't like the fact that she had helped with that, even if she didn't like him all that much.

Jack shook his head, trying to dismiss Hotaru's worries. "If there was another option we would have taken it. And like I said, Aiden's to stubborn to keep down for too long..." He was absolutely certain his brother wouldn't bother them, but he was also sure he'd be alright.

Hotaru sighed. "If you say so." she said lightly. "It still..." she paused, trying to think of a way to explain. "I dunno, it just bugs me I guess." History was repeating itself too much for her between her dad, Yusuke, and Aiden. It sort of made her wonder if this wasn't really the end of all of this for her in a weird way.

Jack squeezed Hotaru's hand, "Well what are the odds it'll happen again, right?" It was probably a question with many possible snarky responses, but he decided to explain. "I mean, Aiden's out of commission, Scarface can't trouble you any more, and I don't think you'll be picked off the street and tossed into the hoosegow, so..." he trailed off, hoping he had managed to pick up the correct line of thought.

Hotaru nodded and sighed slightly. "You're right, I guess I'm just paranoid..." she laughed lightly. Another thought occurred to her when she noticed they were one blond Tora short. "Hey, where's Eva? She normally follows me everywhere..." she trailed off. Wow, she just made her best friend sound like a puppy, wasn't that nice?

Jack blinked glancing around as he too realized that EVa was missing from the room. "I don't know... You think she went to check on the others or something?" There was also the possibility that she had gone to get food, but Eva didn't seem the type to abandon Hotaru for a burrito...

Hotaru blinked a few times. "Yeah, maybe Aiden?" she suggested. She didn't know why Eva would want to check on Aiden, but it was the first thing she could think of.

"Why would she check on him?" Jack said. "Considering that he was trying to hurt you, I think it'd be the last place she'd be..." It made sense in his mind at least, even if it was just betwee, say, Eva or Matsuda, he was pretty sure that it'd be Matsuda who'd check on Aiden first...

Hotaru shrugged, well as best as she could at least. "Dunno, just came to mind first, kinda weird." she paused. "Maybe I got hit a little harder than we thought?" she joked lightly. Still, the thought of Eva checking up on Aiden wasn't as weird of a thought to her as it should have been, she wondered why that was?

Jack shrugged. "Maybe. We can ask her whenever she shows up though, no big deal." Though he was actually really curious about where she was. What in the world could take priority over 'Boss' for Eva?

Hotaru smiled. "Guess so." she said, starting to feel awkward from having to lay down. "Can I sit up now? Maybe for a minute or two even?" she asked, hopeful. She tried looking as cute and innocent as possible, it should work on her boyfriend of all people, right?

Jack looked at Hotaru's eyes and felt his will crumbling bit by bit. No! He could resist! It was for Hotaru's own good that she didn't sit up! It was-!
But that face was so cute...
The Ookami sighed. "Alright..." Failure.
