Author's note: Sorry again for the long delay. I'm trying to get faster at doing this… again, another fairly short chapter. I also need to say that in this story, Asbel isn't dead. I have read some stories where he is, but in this one he isn't. I probably should have said that before.
Chapter 3: Hospitality
"Hurry! Someone get this man to a doctor!" cried Nausicaä. "He needs assistance!"
"Uhh…" the man moaned.
"Don't worry, We'll take good care of you."
"Thanks for all this." replied the man.
"Nausicaä! I didn't know you were back already!" Said Asbel, running over to Nausicaä.
"Hi Asbel! What's going on?"
"Oh, nothing much. What's going on here? Who is that man?"
"Oh him. I was in the jungle and I found him, he was all banged up, he got run over by an ohmu." She came closer to Asbel. "But I don't know how he survived."
"Yeah, seems kind of odd," replied Asbel.
"Well, anyway, we need to get him to a doctor. But first I need to know his name." Nausicaä turned to the man. "What is your name?"
"It's… Takami."
"Very nice to meet you Takami!" replied Nausicaä.
"What's your's?"
"Nausicaä. And this is Asbel." Nausicaä pointed to Asbel as she said his name.
"Nice to meet you two," he replied.
"Nausicaä, who is this?"
"Lord Yupa! Hurry, we need to get this man some hospitality!"
"But who is he?" replied Lord Yupa.
"His name is Takami. Hurry!"
Lord Yupa called for a carriage and ordered the driver to take him to a doctor. He did what he was told, and drove off.
Nausicaä had a worried look on her face.
"We will see how he is doing tomorrow." Lord Yupa patted Nausicaä's shoulder. She still looked worried.
"Ok," she said.
The next morning, she woke up in the face of Asbel bending over her bed. She was startled and got up quickly, knocking her head into Asbel's. He fell backward and hit the floor.
"Oh, I'm so sorry Asbel!" she exclaimed.
"It's. . . ok." He rubbed his head, then looked up at Nausicaä and smiled at her widely.
"Ok, are you sure?"
"Yeah, it was fine! I'm ok."
"Ok. So, what were you doing in my room anyway?" she asked.
"Oh, right. Takami wants to see you in his room."
