Tsubaki shut her mouth at the sight of one of the staff, vaguely nervous in their presence. At the same time, she was curious to know how they were treating Kurogane. In the day time, the staff would be helping him with his wounds, right? They'd be making him more comfortable? Not that Tsubaki expected Kurogane to jump at painkillers, but what had happened to him looked painful...

Hearing that he hadn't been targeted by someone else should have been a relief, since it implied he hadn't transformed or gotten sicker, but it did little to illuminate what had actually taken place. With the nurse gone, she tilted her head. Would he tell her if she asked? Maybe it was better not to force the subject when he was in the middle of recovering.

Her pause ran a little long before she decided what to say next. "How are the symptoms now? Better?"
