Dusk twitched in bed, opening his eyes to find them half shrouded in darkness. Reacting, he whimpered, thrashing on the bed, confused and his head was in pain, particularly around his left eye where the bandages were heaviest. This continued for a few seconds before the drugs in his system kicked in again, and the pain ebbed away and lead filled his limbs. A few doctors seemed to notice the commotion, choosing to cautiously wait until the Shiny Umbreon in the room had finished using Moonlight, though one of them cringed lightly, knowing not all of the damage would be reversed. Slowly, they picked up Dusk, unwrapping the bandages to check the how his face had healed. He could be released immediately, they concluded with relief, though their mood was still grim. Throwing away the bloody gauze, they carried the little Eevee out into the waiting room, though they kept his face turned away from Kai as she quickly rose to her feet and met up with them with a few short strides.
"Thanks to an Umbreon who snuck back, he's completely healed and in battling condition, though we don't recommend it. He needs time to adjust, and he may go into shock. We're sorry... we did what we had to to prevent the poison from spreading and damaging his body further..." The doctor explained softly, before rolling Dusk over slightly when passing him to Kai.
She didn't make a sound, or show any outward emotion. Only as soon as her arms held Dusk she pressed him to her chest, dropping her head and shaking like a leaf. "Thank you." She managed, slowly walking back to where she had been sitting before, cradling and rocking Dusk back and forth. Across the small Pokemon's face were the three claw scars from the Purrugly. One starting over his left eyebrow and cutting cleanly across his muzzle and under his right eye. Another was only on his muzzle, forming an arrow shape with the third claw, which cut off in the middle before appearing as a tiny nick under his missing left eye.
