Really having nothing to say, I back away towards a wall. Just leave them to their emotions, I guess. It's best that they're in touch with them right now, anyway.

Oh God. This world is a freaking house of horrors. Braixen didn't really notice the gallade's leg before (Mostly because she wasn't concerned with him), but seeing him being carried in on a stretcher moaning in agony is enough to shock Braixen quite a bit. She can do nothing but tremble despite herself.

Seeing Marlon pass by, Autumn nearly shouts out after him before she manages to rein herself in, a few words escaping nonetheless.
"What did I te—!"
"sigh... there's a reason for why I asked all of you not to keep doing this. I hope you realize that now. This isn't just a joke, I'm not just some stick in the mud who doesn't want you to have fun. Please, for the love of Arceus stay here for a while, don't get into any more trouble. Things are tough enough already."
The Braixen isn't sure who exactly she's talking to, but enough of the group is nearby that she hopes the message will get through to whoever needs it. At least Nyquil is working with the guard, as much as she wishes he'd stay out of fighting altogether.

Autumn, believe us, we had been planning to stop for a while anyway. I know Goobert and I were going to do that until Phoebe attacked us in Blissparce, at least. (Delilah says.) If it hadn't been for her we probably would have been either here or in Silversand doing that already.
Yeah... (I'm beginning to feel like it's my fault that Autumn is mad at us even though I know it probably isn't. Phoebe attacking us and making herself everyone else's problem was just bad luck...)

A short time later....we arrive at the hospital, wherein the receptionist Blissey is waiting on us, a rather shocked look forming across her face.
What happened?!?

(I decide to add a little more.) Yeah, with or without everything that happened to me over the past few days, I really want some time to relax for a while...besides, I could do with some training to get better at battling.

Sorry, this Gallade's leg is infected after a serious injury and needs to be treated as soon as possible! (The Braixen doctor tells the receptionist.)
"Lucian, don’t be afraid, we’ll make it through this."

Foxfell Hospital
G—god, this fucking sucks!
The Blissey receptionist peers over the side of the desk and one more is taken aback upon viewing my leg. She quickly comes to a side of the Braixen doctor before she zips off to rouse the doctor on call.
Oh my! I'll go rouse Doctor Star at once! We gotta get this poor guy into surgery!
She goes to fetch said doctor.

Star? The same Star at our hospital? (Marsha mutters.)
(After a few moments, a Clefable comes out from down the hall. Despite a similar outfit, it's clearly not the Dr. Star from Silversand's hospital.)
Please follow me to the emergency ward. (She says, motioning for the Braixen and Chansey to follow her.)
(Marsha gives Marlon's hand another squeeze as they prepare to move.) Hang in there, Marly, I'll be waitin' out heres for yas.
"Lucian, don’t be afraid, we’ll make it through this."

Foxfell Hospital
Th-thanks...I love you, Marsha...
Okay, let's go!
I lose a near complete grip on reality as it feels like this situation no longer is unfolding logically as I get led on to what I can only assume is a surgery room. And that's about the last thing I remember as I pass out. Be it from anesthesia, exhaustion, or some third thing.
HOURS LATER....
Foxfell Hospital
From outward appearances I look like a mess. Still passed completely out as if I were a sleeping baby, from the effects of anesthesia (or....some other equivalent?), with a whole bevy of scars on the leg in which the doctors had operated on for what would ultimately be no less than two hours. A fresh bandage has also been applied to the wound, and outward appearances would also suggest that the doctors were inherently successful in the operation...or were they?
At the front desk, the receptionist speaks with a colleague at this same desk, a Luxio.
How's the kid holding up?
He'll make it, but he's not gonna be able to walk for a few days. After that....he needs to stay here for at least a few days more. He needs to have rehab now, if he's gonna have any chance at normally walking again.
Right, right...I mean, man. Reading his report, there's some crazy shit there. He...went four days after getting his leg impaled with no help?
Well, from what we gathered he did have a cast....and crutches...but apparently he also wasn't able to get the kind of help he'd have needed much sooner than this. Also says they got mixed up with that Vespiquen and Gorebyss?
Shit. I wouldn't doubt that, you know? Strange times we live in...should we let his girl know? All of those friends I've seen around?
Yep.
And so the Blissey heads around to see if Marsha, or for that matter others in the party, are nearby.

Noriaki and Hikari, having taken their seats in the waiting area, look up when the Blissey comes in.
"Has the procedure concluded?" Noriaki asked.
"Is Marlon going to be alright?" Hikari asked.

(Delilah and I have since arrived at the hospital and sit close by Marsha. Benji, Dinah, and Lucy sit nearby as well.)
(When the doctor arrives, I stand up to ask about Marlon, but Nori and Hikari beat me to the punch so I just wait for the doctors to answer them.)

Watching and waiting in the recovery room, a particularly familiar Espeon keeps his eyes on the Gallade as he waits for the mon to regain consciousness. Idly licking a paw, Uryu takes a second to smooth out the fur on his forehead while the gem in its center glints with psychic energy. Still nothing from Marlon, but some of the other humanmons were nearby. Considering his options, Uryu remains seated on his chair against the wall and makes no attempt to hide his presence should anyone enter the room.

Yes, he's fine. He should be ready for you all to visit. If you'd follow?
The Blissey receptionist turns to lead the party down.
And as if a sudden burst of energy has reentered my body I come right back to. As soon as I get a check of where I am it comes back to me. Why the hell did I let this get this far? Why did I break down like that? Was it...oh, right. Hindsight is a bitch. And I have to live with it. I now know what I should aim to do: I can't be so keen on fighting, or wanting to fight that frequently. It's what caused me to end up like this. I simply will not allow this to happen again. I wanna get off this hospital bed to start that—but obviously, I cannot. But there's a certain someone in the room with me. His eyes are right on me.
U-Uryu? When did you get here?

"About... let's say fifteen minutes ago. I thought I'd offer some palliative carrrrrrre."
Uryu takes a moment to close his eyes, probing the area with his psychic powers to get an understanding of the situation. He says nothing for a few moments, only speaking once more when his eyes flick open and the gem in his forehead dims.
"Well, arrrrren't you lucky for mons like us? Herrrrroics would be so much harder without medical experrrrts, no?"

Well, I mean...if "heroics" in this instance meant saving Goobert, then...yeah. I didn't want to stop until I saved him. At points I felt like I just couldn't.
But why didn't I just ask Hikari or, hell, even Polly to just help heal the wound? Well...
I guess I was just that obsessed with trying to save my best friend's life that I could have never thought to have taken care of myself first, even though I had a chance to get myself fixed...perhaps mutliple times. That seem strange to you? Or does knowing us and our activities by this point make you not feel surprised that I ended up like this?

As she goes to turn a corner the Blissey receptionist gives the party coming to visit a rundown on the situation.
Right. Doctor Star and his team had to work first to clean out Marlon's leg, then afterward they had to get deep beneath the surface to repair the internal damage. They didn't necessarily get all of it, but they got enough to where your friend should be able to start walking somewhat steadily again within a few days, and then start work on rehabbing, with the goal to get his leg back to 75-80%, perhaps up to 90%, in the long term. Full recovery is very much on the table, too.
She turns another corner.
He's two doors to your left, room 17. The doctor will come in soon after that to discuss next steps.

"Well, I am relieved to hear that there will be no need for amputation, at least" Noriaki said, sounding a bit relieved. He offered a bow to the Blissey.
"Thank you."
The Decidueye went ahead and proceeded to the door he was directed to, sliding though gently to not surprise whoever may be inside.

"Perrrrhaps not surprised, but still concerrrrned. Do know that I'd rrrrrather not have to take care of all of you morrrre than necessary— though I will if needed."
As the door opens, Uryu turns his gaze to the rest of the humanmons and puts on a soft smile to greet them. He doesn't move, however, still occupying a spot against the far wall of the room as the others enter to see their companion.
"Please don't mind me, I'm simply... obserrrrrving."

"Yes, all of this can be quite a lot to take in, understandably... It's gotten overwhelming for quite a few of us" said Noriaki, placing his hat back on his head. "But I assure you it should be relatively calm from here on out. After our just finished venture to help a friend of ours, most of this group intends to settle down and live peacefully for the time being."
