Hotaru looked over at Jack, still grinning. "I wonder why." she replied, laughing a little. Eva laughed slightly, too, scratching her head slightly.
"So Lover Boy," Eva started. "Got anythin' ya wanna add in to all of this?" she asked, a random thought occurring to her on if Jack's would even say anything about the nickname she had given him.

He shrugged. "Considering the both of you could kick my ass, I'd rather not take many chances." And it was true. Unless Jack dipped into his small pool of rage-juice (or whatever it was when he went nuts) he was a pretty bad fighter, and aside from that he wasn't really too keen on getting into a fight in a hospital.

The blond laughed at Jack's comment. "I'd be happy to teach ya anytime." she told him. Hotaru instantly jumped at that thought.
"No no no!" she exclaimed all too quickly. "No one should have to go through your training." she said, completely serious. She was honestly curious about how she made it out alive herself.
Eva laughed again. "I'm just kiddin' Boss, calm down." Hotaru sighed in relief. "But then again, it is kinda sad for the girl in the relationship to be stronger than the guy." She closed her eyes and sighed. "Thought he was the one suppose to be protectin' you an' all."

Jack sent Eva a light glare, trying not to be overly upset about it. "Oh, shut up." He half-growled, rolling his eyes. She kinda had a point though, he did need to learn...

Hotaru looked over at Jack and shook her head, trying to get him to look away from Eva. The blond knew how to get right under someone's skin, that was part of her training method, after all. For Eva, being a bitch was a talent, just one she brought up when she wanted something.
Eva, who very much wanted to teach Jack how to fight, tried to push it a little further. If he was going to be dating Boss, he needed to be at her fighting level, or at least close to it. She gave him points for sticking with her through everything, but that didn't mean anything to Eva unless he could protect Hotaru if she ever needed it.
"Just sayin'," said the blond nonchalantly. "If ya had more than a fuckin' gun with ya and ya actually had some muscle, Boss prolly wouldn't be as banged up as she is right now."

Jack's right hand twitched in anticipation of a fight. He was getting angry, he knew that, but he refused to go apeshit right now. He took a deep breath and attempted to keep his cool at least a little longer. There was no way the pianist was going to fight in a hospital. He gave a smile and a shrug instead. "You're probably right." He agreed, though it almost physically pained him to do so. He refused to lose it. He refused.

Eva frowned for a short moment, deciding to go a little further. "Boss," she said, turning to face and annoyed Hotaru.
"What Shimazaki?" she asked, clearly ticked off.
"Tell me again why you're dating him in the first place?" she asked, pointing to Jack. She saw Hotaru's glare, deciding to keep going. "He's nothing like Greg was. I mean, sure he was nice and all, but when you got in a fight with him, you'd be lucky to make it out with just one broken arm." She spoke almost as if Jack wasn't even there at this point. "I remember when you were first starting out, every time ya got in trouble, Greg was there to make sure you wouldn't get hurt. I hardly ever saw a scratch on ya when the two of you paired up in a fight, he even saved ya from that fire if you don't remember."
"Shimazaki." the brunette Tora growled. Trying to get Jack irritated was worse enough, the fact that she was bringing up Greg did NOT help with anything.
Eva simply shrugged. There wasn't anything Hotaru could do to hurt her right now, not while being trapped in bed the way she was. "Y'know it's true, Lover Boy over here's nuthin' compared to Greg." She finally turned back to Jack, a sly grin on her face. "I still think you're just a rebound." she told him, calm as she stared him right in the eyes.

Jack could feel the shaky calm he had managed to maintain slipping bit by bit with every word. He wouldn't lose it, he wouldn't lose it, there were people in the room that could get hurt, he wouldn't lose it, he wouldn't- Oh, screw it, Eva deserved a punch to the face. The twitching hand tightened into a fist, and in one fluid motion the Ookami was out of the chair with a punch heading towards Eva's nose. The jaw was a bigger target, but he knew it could break his hand. He could no longer say he could the count the times he had gotten this mad on one hand, but considering the events leading up to this point, he was pretty sure it was understandable.

Eva saw the hit coming, catching Jack's fist and twisting his arm slightly to an angle to where he wouldn't be able to move so easily. Hotaru nearly jumped off her bed to try to help, but she was too weak to move too much at the moment. She could only sit up slightly and hope nothing too bad happened to either of them(preferably Jack, Eva deserved whatever hit she got).
"See what I mean, Jack?" the blond asked him, making sure it was to where Hotaru could't hear. She had a noticeable edge in her voice but other than that, she still sounded a little calm. "Y'might wanna take fighting lessons at some point, there's no way I'll really approve of you if ya can't protect Boss."

Jack bent with his arm to reduce pressure, he used the motion to swing out a leg and try to catch Eva's middle without having to pay too much heed to the pain. He had been in fights before, but he hadn't wanted to hurt Aiden too badly. The hulking Ookami was still his brother after all, and Jack hated hurting family. His hand twisted to get its own hold on Eva's own arm, trying to keep her somewhat in place.

Hotaru watched, shocked for a moment. She wanted them to stop, she really did. She wasn't feeling her best, and plus they were in a hospital of all places.
Eva had looked up a slight moment to notice Hotaru's facial expression, not realizing Jack had gone at it again. She was caught, and quickly trying to think of some way to get out of it. Just as she was about to make a move, however, Hotaru's voice rang through out the room and caused her to jerk her head back to her boss.
"Both of you, stop!!" shouted the hospitalized Tora, sounding about as mad as she was when she dealt with Hana. "After the huge fight that just went down, no one, and I mean no one is fighting in a hospital of all places!!" She looked Eva in the eye, already causing the blond to shake slightly. "Shimazaki, quit being a total bitch and be nice for once!" she then turned to Jack, though she didn't look quite as mad, but it was still enough to at least freak someone out a little. "And I really expected better from you of all people, Jack."

Jack's grip on Eva's arm released immediately, the rage fleeing his mind and guilt taking its place. He glanced down, unable to meet Hotaru's eyes. He was a bit scared, honestly, and muttered an apology. He wasn't capable of speaking up much more with how low he felt. The brunette now recalled exactly why he disliked fighting: he always felt terrible afterward.

Eva walked back to the other side of the wall, staying quiet for fear that Hotaru might snap even more. The brunette sighed and looked down at her lap for a moment. She hated getting that mad, but there were times when it just came out.

Jack made his way back to his seat as silence enveloped the room. By this point, he was pretty sure Hotaru was fairly overdue for the doctor to come look at her... Glancing around for the 'Call Nurse' button he had found during his own hospital stays, he pushed it discretely, wincing at the faint 'beep' before he began waiting for the doctor to show up.

Hotaru saw Jack press the button, but stayed silent as she waited for the doctor to come in and check on her. It wasn't a few moments later when a nurse looking to be in her thirties or so came in.
"Dr. Stevens is busy right now." she explained simply. She was pretty small and had shoulder length brown hair with a dark complexion. "Glad to see you're awake now, how're you feeling?" she asked Hotaru.
The brunette shrugged. "Fine, I guess. Just hurts to move too much." She didn't feel like talking too much, but she'd do what the nurse asked her to do.
Eva remained quiet while Hotaru and the nurse spoke. Great, now things felt just as awkward as when she went to visit Aiden.
