Locke looked over at the blonde; Eva, she had said, and waited for her little monologue to end. When Eva leaned back against the wall, Locke went on to answer Aiden's other questions.
"We'll just... talk," she said hesitantly. "We'll talk about you, and about me, and about anything to try and find something to make your memory come back. As for your family..." Here, the albino paused. What did you tell a man who asked about his family when you that was precisely the thing you didn't want him asking about? "Your family's gone, Aiden. They all left the city a long time ago." It was the best she could do. If he inquired further, she'd say it was his choice to stay.

"Just a friend" she whispered.The urge to say nobody was increasing ... she shot a look at Locke.Was she serious?This was the way she was going to go about it ... saying they were on holiday would have been enough!The way she put it made it seem like they left him behind. She looked out the window ... she knew she was going to probably get yelled at (her best bet was by Eva) for not helping more but she really wasn't in the mood right now ...

Aiden nodded to Eva and Xion in turn, not entirely sure what the response was supposed to be to that sort of situation. Xion seemed distant and Eva was flustered, and the Ookami was ill-equipped to deal or respond to either answer very well. He returned his attention to Locke, blinking at the answer. "So they just up and left? Why'd they do that? Why'd I stay? Did you know them, Locke?"
There were more questions on his tongue but he was beginning to grasp that if he overindulged on them it would be a bit more difficult to get answers. However one or two more questions managed to weasel their way out. "And what about these bracelets?" He held up his right arm to show the green band, inadvertently tugging at the IV. "Xion and mine are the same, but you and Eva have different ones, what's that about?"

Eva listened to Locke explain how Aiden's family apparently left. It took almost everything the blond had to keep from exploding, why was she telling him that of all things?! What the hell was she thinking?! She clenched her fist and tried calming herself down as calm as quietly as she could.
Eva heard Aiden's questions about the bracelets and spoke up again, only more calm than when she had tried talking a moment prior. "They're clan bracelets." she started. "We're in a war, and there are three clans involved, the color of your bracelet shows what clan your in." she held up her wrist to show her orange band a little better. "Me and Locke are in Tora, you and Xion are in Ookami, then there's purple which is Kuma." she paused for a moment before adding one more thing. "But that don't mean we're your enemy as individuals, so you don't have to worry about that, plus we're all kinda at a stand still, too." she gave a slight grin before turning silent again. At least he would know one truthful thing.
The blond was pretty close to walking out of the hospital room and go find Boss and Lover Boy, but what would she tell them when she walked in? The Big Guy couldn't remember a thing and was being told that his family left him? Yeah, that would go over great.

"They left..." started Locke, pausing only for a moment before coming up with something that could work. "to go home, Aiden. Your family's not really from around here, and they wanted to find home again. You stayed because, well... to you, this city is home." Then, there was the really hard question. "As for knowing them... I sort of did. Met one or two of them, but you're the one I know the best." Thankfully, Eva had spared her the trouble of explaining the war. Locke had never been a hundred percent sure how it all started, anyway.

Eva listened to Locke's set of lies a little more, getting more and more annoyed with each word she fed him. This was insane, he had a right to know the truth dammit!!
"I'm leavin'." she muttered. She looked over at Aiden, giving him the warmest smile she'd been able to pull of in a while. "Take care, Big Guy." she said before heading out of the room, slamming the door slightly on her way out. Well, at least she got to see him and he was alive and all, that was certainly good. Now, it was time to check on Boss and Lover Boy. She'd have to tell them about Aiden.

Xion's gut clenched.There wasn't something right about his ... her morals were a little off but ... She looked at the leaving blonde "Eva ... if your going to see that girl.Tell her I'm sorry" she said smiling slightly "And can you tell Jack if you see him.I wanna talk to him later" she nodded.Making amends was the best thing she could do right now. She looked over at Aiden "Hey"

"Oh..." Aiden said, both at the explanation that they were apparently in a war and that he wouldn't see his family again. That was kinda depressing, he wondered where he was staying if his family was gone for the moment. He also wondered who Jack was and who the girl they were talking about might be.
"Hi?" He offered to the girl (Xion, right?) as she greeted him for what seemed to be the second time. The glow was there again, and he was growing used to it. "Xion, who's Jack and the girl you were talking about?" Did he know them at all? A brief thought that maybe it was none of his business was pushed to the side. He wanted to know, and he'd be damned if he didn't find out.

Xion froze for a second.Fuck.What was supposed to say "He's a friend ... a good friend of mine.Me and his girl got in a fight.Not sure if she'll forgive me or him but trying is the most important thing right?" she smiled.She couldn't say 'hey Aiden he's your brother and Locke's a liar' could she ...

Locke looked from the departing Eva, to Aiden, to Xion. She turned all the way around to look at the latter and gave her an apologetic smile. The albino knew it wasn't really right to lie like this to Aiden, but... what if he remembered Tekka and went insane again? The last thing any of them needed was another showdown, especially one at the hospital.

He gave a shrug. "I guess..." He was pretty sure it was none of his business, so he decided to cease the pursuit of that topic and switched to a different idea. "Can I get up?" The Ookami was feeling pretty uncomfortable (and restless, he couldn't stop fidgeting) and he wanted to get up and move around. Though, now that he thought it over, he really couldn't feel his legs that much... How far had he been injured?

Xion blinked "I suppose ... but you gotta be careful cos of the wires" she added ... last thing she wanted was him to be bleeding cos he pulled a cable out of his arm "Do you you want a hand or are you okay on your own?" she asked.
She was okay with helping put didn't want to be pushy and smothering.She didn't do pushy ... unless she wanted something.

Locke looked quickly from Aiden to Xion and made a swift executive decision.
"I think it would be best to have the doctor here to help, Xion," said the albino. "If you've still got IV's in you, then you don't want to move around too much. There're needles at the end of those, and you don't want to have to get them put back in, do you?" It was just a little something she remembered from when the giant Ookami had gone bonkers before the fight. Locke didn't want him to be any more uncomfortable than he needed to be, and being stuck with needles was probably one of Aiden's greatest discomforts.

Aiden looked closer at his arm, wincing at the thought of a needle inside his body, no matter what it was doing. "It'll come out soon though, right? I'm awake so whatever's coming in from the bag can be done some other way, can't it?" He wasn't sure what it was about getting poked by needles, but it didn't sound particularly good.

"Oakie Koakie Locke" she smiled "Oh you want me to go get one now?" she asked pointing at the door before looking at Aiden.She blinked ... she didn't know he didn't like needles
"I'm sure it will come out soon" she reassured him, flashing him a smile she said going to the door "So me go?Yes?No?"
