Zen sniffled loudly trying to get a hold of himself. He must stop being so emotional!
"Ah man, yeah, ah........" Zen felt suddenly dumb as he recollected the memory of himself crying out to the sky. No I mustn't feel dumb. "I-I possibly overreacted. I thought you were dead and I really did nothing to save anybody and I felt so guilty for no reason! I would have really hated to lose another friend to such a fiend like Firestein and and...." His voice trailed off feeling the stares of all his friends on him. Then he noticed River again, looking beautiful admist the scares and the bruises on her face. She has been through so much..........
River stared at him, her brow furrowed. "Uh, Zen, that made no sense." But she secretly felt touched by Zen's words, sense making or not. A true friend.
He turned his attention to the soldiers who had spoken, and the man took the look as a sort of permission to speak. "We feel like we owe you something." He said, motioning to his companions. "We didn't realize..." He pinched the bridge of his nose and cursed under his breath.
River stopped speaking as the soldier began, and fixed her eyes on him, cocking her head slightly.
 
"Hey, hey, hey." He said, pulling the sheets off and moving to get up. "It's okay. Come here, man." his own eyes growing misty, now.

Rex dropped his gaze & stared at the floor opposite of where Gage got up, in fear of what he could accidentally see.
 
"Hey, hey, hey." He said, pulling the sheets off and moving to get up. "It's okay. Come here, man." his own eyes growing misty, now.
Zen was just about to rise from his wheelchair when he realized that his legs felt numb, almost as if they were not part of him. He tried getting up again only to collapse back down onto the chair in pain. He reached up instead to give Gage an awkward side hug.

"Well ah, anybody gonna offer me some coffee?" Zen asked playfully trying to cheer things up, he always had a knack for making others sad and he was trying to change that.

He ignored the numbness in his legs, he would hear the diagnosis later, even though he can only guess........

Crow was jolted awake as he felt himself slipping off the branch he had been perched on. Huh? What?! Why am I not a bird? he frantically righted himself, and managed to transform back to a crow without falling to the ground. He fluffed his feathers irritably, trying to dislodge the leaves that had gotten stuck there. He was still preening his feathers when he realized that he hadn't even visited his friends in the hospital yet. With that thought, he leapt into the air, flapping his wings as he tried to catch a southwesterly breeze.
