-Father Figure-
(Bate / Cite)
While Cite never preferred being at the hospital, he knew he had to go for the sake of not getting his mom, or the local doctors who worked there angry. So here he was…again. Cite gripped the steel parallel bars and slowly made his way to the other side, a tired sigh escaping his mouth.
Doing these exercises were very….boring. One day he could walk, one day he would climb steps, another he’ll use an exercise bike…and on very rare occasions will he use one of the small pools they have here. Though since he hates swimming, he really doesn’t prefer that…
The only thing that makes these visits bearable was seeing his friend, Bate. Since he goes to the hospital from time to time, they both meet up when their done and walk home together. Unfortunately, Bate didn’t have any checkups or therapy appointments today, so he was alone. Bate offered to come and pick him up when he was finished, but it was still quite lonely during his small breaks where he had no one to talk to.
“You’re mind seems to be elsewhere today, hm?” A voice interrupted his thoughts.
Cite looked up and saw Mends hovering over him. He cowered a bit and finished walking to the end.
Mends noticed he wasn’t himself, probably because his other 'irresponsible' patient wasn’t there to keep him company. He gave a huff and handed Cite his canes.
“Why don’t we take a break for now.” He said as he made his way to one of the chairs occupying the room.
Cite gave a silent nod and followed him. He timidly sat down and started quietly fiddling with his hands. Other than Bate, Cite doesn’t really prefer, nor feels comfortable being around anyone in Kalmari. He’d rather be by himself, but didn't want to insult Mends. Instead, he just kept quiet, and hoped he wouldn’t start a conversation.
“So, Cite...”
The little Squid flinched. He looked over and saw Mends glancing at him. He used one of his claws and stroked his rather large mustache before speaking.
“Why is it that you’re so distracted today?”
Cite avoided eye contact and gave a quiet apology, “S-sorry….”
“I don’t believe I asked for an apology,” He said, “I asked why you're not focusing."
