After finishing her speech, Milly maintained her serious expression and continued to watch Duo, hoping he would be serious with her this time. She was a bit surprised as he began to seriously introduce and explain himself, but she was glad that he responded appropriately.
Milly listened intently to all that Duo had to say, never taking her eyes from his as he also never took his eyes from her. Her eyebrows shifted down slightly as he began to explain Solo. Although Milly was unfamiliar with things like shamans, she referred her mind to fairytales and stories told of various magical beings including witches and shamans, only now hearing from someone that such things really exist.
She saw him suddenly close his eyes and deliver a final line, having listened carefully to his entire speech. She watched Duo still with that serious look on her face as she went over all he just said again in her head.
After a minute or so, she let out a quiet sigh and faced forward. "I am personally unfamiliar with shamans, but tales circulate." She said, still with a serious voice but a bit softer than before. The muscles in her hands tightened a bit as they rested in her lap. "There must be a way to remove Solo." She stated then and looked back at Duo as her hands relaxed again. "I will help you in any way I can to make that happen."
As she watched Duo now, Milly then took his hand again and stood as she leaned towards him, her other hand touching the wall as she kissed his cheek. She then slowly moved back into her chair with a small smile on her face as she kept her eyes on him. "Thank you for being serious with me."

Duo is almost afraid of Milly's reaction, half his mind (and this being Solo) thought that she might clam up and excuse herself. This is his problem, he wasn't supposed to tell this to people, but Milly insists. So he can't really back up right now. As he was about to open his eyes to prepare himself for her response, just in time to hear her state out that she's unfamilliar with shamans, but she would help him anyway. This made Duo's eyes widen, and even Solo inside his head let out an expletive of her simple yet strong claim.
It startles him. This person actually believes there's a way to remove this curse inside him. Duo had never even thought about that, in fear that he will never find said cure and that sort of failure will render him in utter despair, automatically giving a chance for Solo to overtaken him again. It's almost unfair in a way...loading all of his relinquished dream to this young girl beside him. He didn't even know her that well, yet she's ready to take his problem as her own.
'Don't get your hopes up. You just watch; in time, she will turn her back on you when you rely on her the most. That, is when I will make my grand return and havoc will welcome my stride..'
Solo is yet again destroying every bit of hope he has left. Its annoying, he always does that, stepping all over every spark of optimism sprouting out of his mind.
Duo's eyes are casted downwards as he heard Solo, and his frown got even deeper than he can handle. That's when he remember he's not alone, and quickly lifted up his head to face Milly, eager to beam a smile to her and thanking her for sticking with him...
Duo froze. His eyelids are the only thing moving as he saw her moving in close. The warmth of her hand against his acted as a sort of reminder to him that this isn't a dream, a girl is slowly approaching him and the only thing he could stare at is her other hand moving against the wall beside him, almost cornering him. Time seemed to stop for Duo when Milly moved in close and touched her lips against his cheek.
The brightest shade of red grows on his face, and despite himself, grinned unconsciously at the gesture. Almost stupidly, even. When Milly had moved back into her chair, Duo used his good hand to...no, not covering his face...but touching his wounded chest. He looked at her, still with his red face, when she thanked him, and the man beamed her the widest grin ever.
"My heart is beating so fast right now, its hurting." He declared, almost laughing. "But thank you, for shutting Solo up." 'And proving that he's wrong and you like me more than him, hahah! SCORE! TAKE THAT! Who said unmanliness can't attract women?!'
He's happy, and everyone knows that when Duo's happy, he's happy all the way. "I wish I can move both my arms so I can at least hug you! Or dance with you! Or bake you a cake!" He rambled on, positively glowing, and loudly declaring so.
Then, he suddenly paused, his eyes twinkled as he focused his attention back towards Milly, "Thank you so much. With all my heart, although its aching and beating like crazy now, it's nice to know that Solo's wrong; I can have a friend. He smiled towards her in that same friendly manner back in the diner, though now seeming very natural and less of a nut, "Will you be my friend, Milly?"

Milly noticed him holding his chest now since she moved back and her brows furrowed together in worry until she looked at the big smile on his face. She was worried about his heart that was recently injured, especially when he said it was hurting. When he thanked her for shutting Solo up, she smiled slightly again, letting out a breath of air, relaxing her face again.
Milly was sitting up very straight and blushed slightly as he started going on about hugging, dancing or baking a cake then covered her mouth with the back of her hand as she let out a couple quiet chuckles at him. When he thanked her, she lowered her hand and her face relaxed back into the small smile thought with a slightly bit of pink in her cheeks as he went on about his heart beating like crazy.
Her small smile faltered for a moment at him stating he can have a friend, thinking sadly for him if he'd been all on his own this whole time. When he asked her if she would be his friend, one side of her lips curved up a little more than the other as she thought about this boy in front of her. She figured by stating she would help him was enough already but since he asked her, she might as well re-enforce it. "Yeah, Duo..." She said after a moment, "I'll be your friend."
"I'll be traveling with you from now on, too, at least until we find a way to get rid of him." She said then looked away slightly as she thought about Solo and her smile slowly faded again. She looked back at Duo and asked "Duo... What kinds of things do you normally do.. what preventative measures do you usually take.. to keep Solo at bay? If there's anything I can do to help with that also, let me know, okay?"

On normal terms, Duo would definitely spot signs of when a girl is blushing. Especially after a decade of trying to understand them, it's very easy for him to detect if they even like to be around him. Though now, it seems to be the other way around for him. He's the blushing one right now, but he doesn't give a care in the world if it destroys his machoness.
Duo's face lit up so much at Milly's acceptance of his offer of friendship, it's impossible to believe this man is even suffering. He looked like he wanted to scream, or squeal, but reminding himself this is the hospital, he suppresses the urge to let out a sound and just mutely does so. His mouth is wide in a grin, and he really does look like he's squealing...without a voice.
He gets even happier to know that he gained a traveling buddy and completely misses her last point about Solo. Duo's mind is now filled with childish ideas of various things he wanted to do together with Milly, and there's so many things he wanted to show her, despite only knowing her for the past hours.
Well, you can't blame the man. It's his first time feeling to have a true friend for once. Sure he can talk to a lot of different people, but he never felt this happy and free around a person before.
When Milly suddenly shifted the discussion to inquire him about how he handles Solo, Duo's smile falters slightly. Only slightly. "I do what I always do! He only pops his ugly head up when I'm feeling down, or sad, or angry...or just really negative. If I'm always happy, I can't even hear his voice in my head! Which is a huge relief, mind you, he tends to downgrade my whole being."
Duo rambled, apparently feeling quite open-minded around Milly, even on topics such as these. He then turned his attention back to Milly with that same widening excited grin, and added, "Miss Faye, I'm not sure if you're aware of this, but you're already helping me by a lot." He bowed down at her in his sitting position, possibly cultural back in his place since he does it so earnestly. He does it slowly though, since he's in an understandable state.
"You make me so happy right now, I actually feel like....." He paused, apparently trying to find the right words to state how he feels. Duo rarely encounters such a problem, so he surprises himself too. After a short moment, he looked back at Milly and chuckled, "I feel like you just saved me."

Rika pushed a cart of supplies in front of her to go check on Duo's wounds as it has been a few hours. She entered the room and stopped a moment as she looked at the two and smiled. "You're awake!" She directed to Duo with a sweet smile. "That's great."
She wheeled the cart to the other side of Duo's bed, across from Milly and smiled at Milly then back at Duo. "She's hardly left your side since you both got here. I'm sure she's feeling relieved to know that you're alright, ne?" She said, facing Duo with her smile for most of that until the last moment where she questioned Milly to validate her statement.
"I came in to check on you" she began as she looked back at Duo "and to change the bandage and apply more herbs." She said with a smile. "I wasn't aware that you were awake yet but since you are, please just bear with me if there's any pain. I will be gentle." She then prepared her herbal mix on the cart beside the bed and prepared everything then turned back to Duo again with a smile. "If you're ready, I will begin."

Milly almost laughed slightly seeing Duo's reaction to her agreeing to be his friend. He seemed like an excited little kid and it seemed a little stupid and over the top but funny and child like.
She looked at him seriously again as she questioned him and listened for his answers. She let out a quiet breath of air as he answered her first question. 'So that's why he's always acting like an idiot and is almost never serious..' She thought to herself as she watched him with a straight face, feeling even more guilty for drawing Solo out before by hurting this boy who's only trying to keep the monster at bay.
Caught a bit off guard by being addressed as 'Miss Faye', she looked at Duo with her eyes a bit wide in a mildly quizzical manner. As he continued to speak, Milly's cheeks started to flush a light pink. She never thought of what she did so far as saving him although she intended to help him find a way to get rid of Solo. Really, the reason he came out earlier was because of her consistent negative responses to Duo. Bringing him to the infirmary after all of that was the least she could do.
She looked down as her cheeks held the light pink tint, thinking on his words saying she saved him, going through all the information to make out in what way exactly he meant. She looked back up at him again with the slight pink in her cheeks still and smile slightly. "I've hardly done anything yet." She said in a tone intent on doing things in the future to help him.
When she finally heard the cart coming, Milly turned towards the door as Rika entered the room. Her eyes widened slightly as she finally remembered that she was asked to let Rika know when Duo had awakened. Her cheeks flushed slightly at the embarrassment of forgetting then a moment later at Rika's comment of her hardly leaving his side.
Milly stood up a moment later, letting go of Duo's hand and stepped back. "Well.. I'm a little tired, so.. While you take care of him, I will go rest in another room if that's alright." She said with a straight face, standing at attention, facing them both. "I'll.. see you in a bit, Duo." She said, offering up a small reassuring smile then headed out and into the nearest available room and laid down on the bed and closed her eyes, thinking about everything that happened with Duo so far as she dozed off.

'Beautiful...' Duo found himself with his eyes widening as he stared at Milly's blushing form. Sure he had managed to make a lot of girls blushing before, but Milly's were particular.
Hers are slightly pink, and in contrast to her fair complexion, it's rather easy to notice. He had this gentle smile on his lips as he stared at her, watching her as she faces downwards for a while, and then back up at him to say that she hardly does anything.
Duo had to raise an eyebrow at her proclamation, "You're not serious, are you?" She's smiling at him now, and this is a good thing. "Eheh!" He suddenly squinted his eyes close as he grinned cheerfully, his hand that Milly's holding twitched slightly, "I'm just one man. This situation is really hard for me to stop admiring you in my thoughts, heheh."
Just then, the nurse appeared. And at the sight of this, both of Duo's eyebrows arched up high. "..C-CUTE!" He outbursts all of a sudden at Rika with a huge smile. "I knew you were cute! I could feel it when you were undressing me when I was unconscious!"
Though, when the nurse told him that Milly hardly left his side, Duo was stunned silent, blood rushing back in his head. "Y..yeah. I know." He looked back at Milly with a gentler smile and laughed a bit.
At Rika's statements of what she's going to do to him, Duo nodded as a response with a smile, "Okay, then. I'll--" but just when he was about to crack his next joke, Milly suddenly stood up and said that she wanted to get a bit of sleep. Duo's smile immediately dropped.
As her hand left his, Duo found his hand trailing towards her as if attempting to reach her when she excused herself and walked out of the room. His eyebrows creased as he watched her figure disappear and frowned at that.
"You know..." he spoke to the nurse as she was preparing her herbs, "If she keeps that up, I might fall for her sooner or later. ...Heh."

Rika blushed as she was called cute by Duo. She always felt happy to be called cute or pretty by anyone, especially since she also worried at times that she might be an annoyance to some people due to her always happy attitude.
Rika looked at Milly as she headed off. "The room next door is free. Sleep well." She said as the girl left. Rika then turned back to Duo with a smile just in time to catch his words about falling for her. Rika felt a slight hint of pink flush into her cheeks through a slightly brighter smile. She had never really had a love interest before herself, but she rather fancied how sweet it was to see people in love.
"You two already seem to make a good match." Rika said with a smile and a little wink at Duo. Rika finished preparing her herbs and put on a pair of gloves then faced Duo with a smile. "I will begin then. Excuse my touch." She said politely as she gently began to remove the bandage on his chest to check how the worst wound was doing.
She carefully brushed a bit of the excess herbs that were being slowly pushed out of the wound due to the body's healing response to the mixture. She cleaned the excess from his body and tossed it in a small bag. She then dabbed a small clean cloth in a bowl of water and gently wrung a bit of the water out over the wound and mix that still remained in it. She then placed the damp cloth over the wound, folding it just enough that it would fit with ease under the clean bandage she then applied on top of it.
Rika then gently pulled the bandage off the wound on Duo's shoulder, doing much the same action as before. She brushed off the excess herbs, took a smaller clean piece of cloth, dabbed it in the water, let a big wring out into the wound, placed the damp cloth over the wound then bandaged it up again. She repeated the same action again with the wound in his leg.
When she was done, she smiled at him again. "Now, I will have you drink this other mixture since you're awake. If you will." She said as she lifted a small clay cup towards him filled with an herbal mixture to help heal him. She has used a bit of water when mixing it to help soften the mixture and make it easier to swallow. "I apologize if it doesn't taste very good, but it's health benefits outweigh the lack of sweetness." she said with a smile.

A natural flirt at heart, Duo really enjoys seeing a blush creeping up the cheeks of any girl, whether it's his doing or another thing entirely. It's just such an adorable sight, he can bet that even Solo enjoys the view.
Then, it's his turn to blush, when Rika mentioned that he and Milly seemed like a good match. "Really?" He asks eagerly, the shine returning in his eyes as he lets out a wide toothy grin at her. Though then, his grin slightly falters at how Rika wears her gloves.
Fear darted in his eyes, flashes of his memory being an underground victim overlapped the reality of his view. Though thankfully, it wasn't too apparent that it showed on his face, and when Rika's voice chirped that she's beginning, Duo got a hold of himself.
He laid down to ready himself and closes his eyes. Duo does not fare well in hospitals secretly, but he does try to emotionally get over his trauma. Duo had his eyes close the whole time Rika is doing, internally fighting the traumatic incident replaying back in his mind of having a wild spirit being inserted inside him.
Duo only let out a few winces here and there during the whole time Rika is treating him, and only after a few moments did Duo can't take the silence anymore since it reminded him too much of how painful it was back then.
"R-Rika, right?" He stammered at first, before continuing on more smoothly, "So are you a local here?" He braved himself to open his eyes to not seem so impolite, and watches as the nurse bandaged him with such nimbleness and ease, he thought she's been working here for years.
It took him by surprise when Rika smiled at him suddenly and announced that he had to drink something, a medicine he presumed. "Yeah, sure. Thanks." Taking the clay cup, he had to chuckle at her apology of the taste despite its quality, "Oh come on, it's medicine, I'm expecting it to taste awful. Thank you very much for treating me."
He bowed his head low to her before drinking the herbal medicine, refusing to take a pause from the bitterness and just downed it whole. Duo immediately blanched after he's done with it, a scowl is set on his face, "Augh... Yea. I totally expected that.." He mused to make himself smile, and he did, just to beam it at the nurse.
"Oh! By the way, but what time is it now? I'm afraid I missed to check when I was out."

Rika smiled brightly at Duo as he asked for confirmation of her saying they seemed to make a good match. "Yup!" She chirped happily in response, glad to make a patient even happier.
As she worked on him, her eyes opened a bit when he began to ask her questions. She smiled happily at him again while she worked. "Nope! I came from a village a long ways away from here. I currently live between here and Evnae. I work at this center a few days of the week then at a cafe in Evnae the rest of the week." She said with a smile, happy to answer his questions.
After handing him the medicine, she giggled a bit at his comment on expecting medicine to taste awful. She smiled at him as he thanked her and responded "You're welcome. I'll always treat anyone in trouble." She said with a smile.
Rika smiled still as he drank the medicine with a scowl then smiled back at her again. When he asked her the time, she said "Just a moment" and left the room to check the time. When she returned, she told him "It's around ten thirty in the morning." She said with a smile. "You both arrived around five or six this morning. Seems like you had both had a bit of a rough night." She said, smiling at him still, not sure what exactly happened to them, but glad they're alright now.

Duo nodded to show that he's listening to Rika's words. He'll listen to anything to distract him from anything involving any medical things near his torso. "Aaahh, so you're an immigrant too, huh? Wow, you look so young.. Don't tell me you've travelled this far alone, Rika.."
Though then the rest of her sentence echoed in his subconscious. "Wait? Cafe? ...Ohmigod, please tell me you're a waitress. And they have a waitress suit. Please." Duo's voice almost seemed like he's begging her to answer yes, because to Duo, all girls are cute. Girls gets cuter when they smile. They will immediately be the cutest, if it involves skirts. Maid costumes, especially.
After Duo had swallowed that god-awful tongue-numbing medicine, he kept swallowing his own spit to neutralize the taste, but then quickly realized that he seriously needed water. Once Rika returns from finding a clock here, Duo immediately asked, "Um, am I well enough to get off this bed? I kinda need to drink water. ....And also to excrete some."
Rika noted the time like Duo asked and at this, the man's jaw dropped. "TEN THIRTY?! Wow, the sun is already up and I haven't done my daily hair-combing ritual yet!"

Rika smiled at Duo and giggled slightly at his comment of her looking young. "I am seventeen, so I ought to look young." She said with her cheery smile. When he mentioned of her traveling alone, her smile faltered ever so slightly before brightening right back up again. "I have been alone in transit, but I always get to meet new people wherever I go. So that makes up for it."
When Duo seemed to beg her to tell him she had a waitress uniform, Rika giggled again. "Yeah! It's really cute too! It's kind of in a lolita style, so there are a lot of frills!" She said with a smile, happy about how cute her waitress uniform is.
When Duo asked about being able to get off the bed so he could have water and use the washroom, Rika's smiled softened a bit from her bright one. "Just be careful when you move and you should be fine." She said with that smile. "I can get a cup of water for you and set it on the table beside your bed while you use the bathroom here if need be." She gestured to a door that led to a small bathroom attached to the room. There was a little bathroom like this in every room.
At Duo's outburst after telling him the time, Rika giggled again. "Just be careful and don't overexert yourself or you could cause your wounds to bleed again, okay?" She asked with a smile. "I'll go get you some water."
Rika then excused herself from the room and went to the fountain to fill up a cup of water. On her way back, she peaked into the room Milly had gone to sleep in briefly. Seeing the girl sleeping soundly, Rika headed back into Duo's room and placed the cup on the table beside the bed.
"Now, if there's anything else I can do for you, Duo, please let me know." She said with a smile. "If you press the button beside your bed here, I'll be notified from the front desk that you require something." She said with a smile as she gestured to the button beside the bed.

Duo's eyebrows flew up high at the mentioning of Rika's age. "SEVENTEEN! Oh my lawd, SO PRECIOUS~" Duo did a little excited clap at the side of his face. He always find young people to be so cute and valuable in this dying world, so he does try to accentuate how important it is to simply be young.
"Rika, as an old man, I hope you to put GREAT effort in realizing and attaining your dreams! I can only wish you the BEST of luck! The old people community is depending on you~!!" If there is such a thing as visual imagination being real, Duo's eyes would be fired up so bad his eyes are practically burning.
He gets even more happy how optimistic Rika is even when her answer to his question could be considered worrisome. "THAT'S the spirit!" If Rika wasn't a girl, he would pass down his luck to her by giving her a friendly punch across her arm. ...Unfortunately, that can be considered as assaulting if he does it to women.
"Kyaaa~..." Duo's eyes are literally sparking at her positive answer of her maid uniform, already imagining various super cute costumes on her that his face is heating up. "Later, please tell me where you work at. I might consider dropping by some time to say hi when I feel better!"
Rika's attitude helps. This is exactly what Duo needs to feel better all the more faster. He finds it quite refreshing to interact with youthful optimistic individuals, and it's healing him when he's able to laugh and enjoy himself.
Duo ceased his hyperactive commenting when Rika advised him to be careful while he's moving, "By the order of the cute nurse, I will not fail to remember your sacred warning." He announced with a deep manly voice, before bursting up in chuckles.
"Thank you very much. I'd like that." He nodded to her when she offered to bring him a cup of water. Duo turned his attention to where Rika pointed to and mentioned it being a bathroom, then smiled. He often overexert himself, heck his old wounds never did healed properly because he just can't sit still all the time, but the nurse is so cute, so Duo strengthen his will to listen to her.
Once she had stepped out, Duo slowly shifted himself to the side of the bed, then carefully tries to move his legs and just hangs them at the side of the bed. He has to admit, it hurts his wounds to just move that much, so he's considering if its fine if he could just hop on one foot without straining his other one to get to the bathroom.
While he's considering, Rika returned with the water and told him the function of the button at the side of the bed. Nodding at her to show that he understands, the lad then watched her leave before turning his attention back to the bathroom door.
"Distance, I shall conquer you!" And with that spirited battle cry, it's kind of funny how slowly Duo moved after that to get down from the bed, dragged himself to cross the room and then, after 15 minutes, finally reached the toilet door.
"I have conquered you!!" He announced with a fist up in the air. "Mission two! To not pee blood!" He declared to the world before slowly entering the bathroom and closed the door behind him.

Rika blushed with a smile and giggled slightly at his reaction to her age. She giggled a bit more at his statement of her realizing her dreams. "Well, thank you, Duo. I've already been achieving them though." She said with a bright smile.
"For as long as I can remember, I've wanted to be a herbalist and help to heal people. Since I'm doing that now, I've already achieved my dreams and I feel happier and more full filled doing this than anything else." She finished with a smile expressing the true sense of deep joy she felt. If only my brother could see me now. She thought with a flicker of sadness running through her eyes momentarily amid her smile.
Rika giggled again at his excitement over her lolita uniform for the cafe she works at. "I work at Rio Nunez Cafe in Evnae." She said happily with a cheerful giggle. "They have a lot of delicious cakes, breads and teas of all kinds. I would, of course, be very glad to see you show up as well." Rika finished with a smile, then added, "Perhaps even on a date with the girl who came here with you." with a little wink at the end.
Rika giggled again as Duo accepted her command of being careful in such a charmingly cute fashion. After offering to get him water, bringing the water back for him, and pointing out the button to call her if he needs anything, Rika took her leave.
"Remember to rest well so that your wounds can heal faster. My herbal mixes are good but it will still take a while for them to significantly heal you." She said with a smile as she stopped at the door and smiled at him again. "I'll be back again in another few hours or so to check up on you again. So I'll see you then, okay?" She said with a smile then headed back out to the main office with her tray of herbal mixes.
She put various items back and recollected things so they would be prepared for the net time she had to check up on him. She then made her way to the break room and had a bite to eat with some tea as another nurse came into work and took over the front desk.

Milly had only slept for a little while when she heard loud noises coming from next door. She heard faint sounds of Duo's voice responding excitedly to the nurse next door. Although Milly couldn't know for sure that it was Rika he was talking to, she reasoned that to be the case.
Normally, Milly might feel annoyed at such sounds, but given the circumstance, a small smile formed on her face. After a bit of silence and nearing sleep again, Milly suddenly heard a strange statement from Duo in the next room about conquering distance. Unsure what it was about, but finding the statement to be rather random and silly, she quietly chuckled a little under her breath and smiled.
Almost falling asleep again, she heard his declaration of having conquered something, her tiredness making her memory of what he was talking about stick less as she slowly faded off into sleep again, not quite making out the next declaration he shouted. She fell back asleep with a small smile resting on her face.
