Pentral ran into the hospital and went over to a nurse to ask her where to put Makoto. He soon brought Makoto to a bed near the entrance and went to talk with one of the doctors about his condition.

The doctors were shocked at Makoto's condition and ran him into a back room. The hospital was still makeshift, however, and they could only do so much. Pentral was left waiting there, but a nurse came out after about five minutes.
"His list of symptoms are extensive, but the biggest issues seem to be starvation and dehydration. He's covered in scars as well... where did you pick him up from?"
The way the woman spoke had shadows of an accusatory tone. Almost as if she thought his condition was Pentral's fault. Of course, it could have been stress or worry, as well.

Pentral told her the story of how he found him and asked if there was anything he could do for him.

"Good lord, the portals are spitting out people in this condition, now? Still, unlike the portals I'm used to hearing about... I think the most you could do for him is be there when he wakes up, but I'm not going to prevent you from leaving. We won't know for sure if he's going to pull through until we observe him for a while."
A doctor came out of the backroom and said something to her before going back, "If you want to see him, you can. We have him on an IV drip to get some fluids into his system."
She gestured towards the doors to indicate that she would take Pentral back if he wanted to go.

Pentral followed and entered the room to see Makoto in the bed resting. He sat on a chair nearby and watched the him.

The hospital had let Pentral stay with the sickly teen, either out of the kindness of their hearts or because they were too busy to bother chasing him off. At one point, a nurse hand come in and put a blanket over where Pentral had fallen asleep.
It was currently some ungodly hour of the morning. The only people awake were the volunteers of the makeshift hospital doing rounds. It was then that a sound loud enough to wake up an entire village could be heard.
Makoto was screaming. The tone of his voice, if one could get past the volume, indicated on fear, but pain. He instantly began thrashing, and it caused the IVs that had been stuck into his arm to rip out. There were no words, just loud pain. It sounded as if he was being burned alive.
Unless Pentral had died in his sleep, he'd be awake before any staff arrived. The teen he had rescued didn't seem awake. Just in pain... indescribable pain.
(OOC: Feel free to take control of a hospital staff member as an NPC)

Pentral had awoken frightened by the loud noise. "Wah!" he yelled before realizing it was Makoto. He stood next to Makoto's bed and tried to wake him up. Not very long a couple of doctors and nurses appeared to see what the noise was only to see Makoto screaming in his sleep.

Makoto had been forced awake by Pentral seconds before the staff rushed into the room. They shoved him aside to get to Makoto. With tears streaming down his face, low blood flow from the ripped out IVs, and eyes of pure terror, he shouted at the doctor closest to him.
"NO!"
The doctor fell backwards as if someone had punched him in the gut. He was holding his head and he looked to be in pain. Makoto tried to get loose, but the still standing nurses were holding him down. They were getting rather rough.
"Someone get something in here to restrain him!"
It looked rather violent to Pentral. Makoto shouted again and another nurse was blasted away by an invisible force, suffering the same reaction as the doctor from before.

Pentral decided to try something else and had softly placed his paw on Makoto's face. "Please stop crying, it's alright just calm down and relax." he said in the calmest voice he could make while gesturing for the nurses and doctors to stop.
(No he isn't gay D:<)

(OOC: I wouldn't have assumed it. >_>)
Makoto's first reaction was to jerk back as the fox-like hand covered his face. But it seemed to do something. The touch was gentle. Moreso than the doctors, and a total black and white contrast to how he was used to being touched. The doctors were smart and listened to Pentral's gestures, pulling back at his order.
Makoto was breathing heavily, but he'd stopped yelling. His eyes cleared a bit, they were still fearful but not in the sense of a trapped animal, "W-w-where...." he whimpered.
He looked seventeen, but was acting like a scared little kid. The doctors came in with the restraining devices but the doctor who had first been knocked on the ground held up his hand and shook his head, "I don't think we'll be needing it."

"You safe, just rest, no more bad dreams." he said softly as she wiped away Makoto's tears like his mother would have when he had bad dreams.

Makoto's eyes widened and he shook his head quickly, wavering a bit as the motion almost made him pass out, "I can't sleep..." he turned his head so that he wasn't close to looking into the eyes of anyone in the room.
It wasn't a "I can't sleep because I'm not tired" tone of voice. It was very much a "Bad things will happen if I do" voice. Makoto looked over to the blood seeping from his arm. He stared for a few moments before touching it. For those that could sense psychic energy, he pulsed with it as the wound sealed up. He had to grab the guards on the side of the bed to avoid passing out from the action. He was still exhausted.

Pentral just sighed as he went and grabbed a metal cylinder like object from his backpack, unscrewed the cap, and poured tea into it. "Here drink this, my mom always gave me some when I had nightmares and I felt better afterwards." Pentral said as he gave the cap with warm tea in it.
(Okay i forget what the container for tea and soup is called XD but the cap is the size of a cup)

(OOC: Thermos. XD)
Makoto's eyes were full of suspicion at the drink. He didn't want to invade the foxlike creature's mind to check its intentions. But the smell was better than he'd smelled in years. And even the few times he'd gotten smells like that, it had never been for him.
The doctors and nurses weren't quite sure what to do with the situation. Many of them had filtered out, but a few hung out near the door.
Makoto took the cup and tried to inhale the liquid, burning his mouth in the process. He managed to jerk his hand to the side so that the contents fell onto the floor. He squeezed his eyes shut to avoid any chance of looking others in the eye. He seemed to be bracing for something, almost as if he expected to get hit for an honest mistake.

Pentral just took out a cloth and wiped the mess up. "Heh, just like me when I was a kid." he responded with a warm smile.
