For the next few days, everything was a blur for the both of them. Sasha felt sick to her stomach from everything, being unusually quiet apart from the small talks to the people online. But she was afraid no one would ever want to talk to her again after what happened. Guilty didn't even begin to scratch how she felt, especially after fights broke out in school that seemed to imply her attack was the catalyst. It felt terrible.

Most of her days, she spent watching the IV needles run down and drip, looking over at Vinnie but moving her head away before he could look at her and trying to replay the scenario and see what she could have done otherwise.

She could try to learn from this.

On the other hand, Vinnie had no regrets about his own actions. He was convinced that if he'd personally done anything different, pulled any punches, the results of that day would've been much, much worse. Inevitable as it was, it was the consequences that followed which weighed on him, as much as he tried not to show it.

His sister was tearing herself apart. His trainer was disgraced and his family worried sick. And he had disappointed anyone who might've been his friends. Somehow, he had to make it better. In comparison, his own grief felt irrelevant. Maybe even selfish.

It was probably why he was spending more and more time in his human form, even if it kept opening up his wounds. That way, he wouldn't have to be reminded of what he'd lost in Volgin's mutilation. Two leaves, amputated. It was enough to cripple him as a Venusaur.

Vinnie wanted out of this bed. To stop feeling nauseous and weak and get back into action as soon as possible. Maybe then he'd feel less helpless against everything.

[OOC- please post your date of the visit at the start of each log post 8Dc Also Char shows up after the 15th due to a gun shot to the tail. Green team is facing Red Team after that.]

Vinnie was scratching at a new change of bandages. Seeing as how he kept taking on human form and opening up the wounds on his back, the Nurse had to force him into staying that way.

Everything hurt more as a human, but at least he didn't have to be constantly reminded that his leaves were gone. It made it easier to pretend he was okay that way.

Seeing Spinny, he tried to smile for her - though it ended up more like a small flicker of a grin. Out of everyone, he didn't want her to freak out. But between Sasha's condition and the blood on his own bandages, it was more likely than not.

"Hey Spinner." His eyes glanced over at the winged man who had accompanied her. "This your friend?"

Oh god the bandages. They made things so depressing...and definitely scary too. It kind of reminded her of the mummies people put up as decorations during Halloween. Spinny covered her eyes with a hand before attempting to make her way over to the beds as she carried a paper bag filled with something over. She gave a nod to answer Vinnie's question. He was like a father figure to her, but she had no clue how to express that in words at the moment.

"Here..." She said as she looked down at the bag, too afraid to look at the bandages. "...Some...comic books...to read...while...in bed..." She explained as she took out some books. "...And...some berries."

There was a little twang in Vinnie's heart as soon as he noticed that Spinner was trying to avoid eye contact. She looked scared. Was she scared of him now? Because he hurt people?

Good job, Vinnie. In one fell swoop, you drove away any new friends you might've made at this school. His stomach twisted uncomfortably as it tried to will into existence some magic way to make things better.

But... she still brought him things. And visited, like she said she would. He had to take some comfort that not everything was lost. While he wasn't a prolific reader of comic books, he was going to start for Spinner's sake.

So the Venusaur forced himself to smile. "That's really thoughtful of you. What... kind of comics are they?"

Oh the misunderstanding. Good thing Spinny didn't know the guilt Vinnie was holding, otherwise she would feel guilty herself.

Vinnie's question made her feel a little less sad, though; he took interest in the comic books! She looked up as she took out some of the comic books to show.

"...Action...super heroes...Lot's of fighting..." She tried to explain better by showing some fake kung-fu poses.
