Heaving a sigh, Ayumu dropped his head back against the pillow on his hospital bed, staring up at the ceiling. He was exhausted, but bed was the last place he wanted to be right now. He needed to be up and running around, getting shit done. Yet he was stuck here, doctors orders. Well, he wouldn't comply for too much longer. It was mere hours after the gates had suffered an attack of the like they'd never seen before. A dinosaur, an actual fucking dinosaur, had appeared out of nowhere to launch a direct attack. There were so many questions. First of all, where did it come from? Why did it attack? What or who had cast a Genjutsu on so many people? Could they expect further attacks? The gates were on high alert naturally and Ayumu's one demand was that any new information would come to this room.
At the very least he'd heard from his family and knew they were safe. Susumu had come by earlier asking about the dinosaur and the battle. Kahako was... busy. Ayumu shifted in his bed slightly, wincing in pain as he moved just the wrong way. He was currently shirtless. He wasn't sure what had become of his shirt, but it was ruined anyway. His torso was bandaged up as were a few places on his arms, one of which was in a sling. Overall, he'd been lucky though it was hard to say that looking at him. Ayumu knew of at least one death, and the two kids from Leaf had nearly died as well.
He glanced across the room to his sword which he'd brought along. He'd lost the sheath in the battle and wasn't sure if he'd ever recover it. The blade was stained with dinosaur blood, which might have just been incidental. Ayumu didn't even remember ever actually piercing the thing's hide with it. Wait, did he have a concussion? No, the doctors probably would have noticed that when they tested him. Fortunately, the medication and healing had done wonders for taking the edge off the worst of his injuries. He was at least at 50% by now which was why he protested being stuck in bed so much.
Next he glanced out the window, watching the black rain drops slide down the glass. It was bizarre and concerning, had caused a panic at first naturally. Yet no tests revealed it to be anything dangerous. That didn't make anybody any less curious what the deal was with it. The rain wasn't as heavy here as it was at the gates. By the time he'd gotten here on the back of the winged creature who'd offered him a ride, Ayumu was soaked. The hospital had insisted, before they'd determined that it was harmless, on scrubbing him down in case it wasn't. Harmless or not, he wished the rain would stop. He was uneasy enough as it was without that ominous rain.
Just as Ayumu had run out of things to look at, a knock came at the door. He was more than ready to welcome some kind of distraction, though he hoped it wasn't bad news. "Come in," Ayumu called out, prompting the visitor to enter the room.
