Lucio paused in the doorway as he took in the sight ahead of him. Hana was sprawled out on the bed, her hair in disarray and eyes closed as she snored. After a minute of silent admiration he moved forward and tugged on an ankle poking out over the corner of the bed. "Time to wake up."

"Frrrttthhh go away." mumbled a sleepy Hana as she wiggled her foot trying to shake his hand off.

"Come on Hana, you can't stay in bed forever. Let's go."

"Don't wanna." she muttered while trying to burrow deeper underneath her sheet and the mound of blankets on top of it.

Lucio shook the bag in his left hand, the plastic bottles in it and their respective pills rattling as he did so. "If you stay in bed then you don't get your painkillers and your arms are gonna start hurting."

Hana groaned and she clumsily scooted herself out from under the blankets and swung her legs over the edge of the bed. "You're a real tyrant you know that right?" she said though there was no conviction or weight behind her grousing.

"Right. Total monster over here making sure you take your meds." Lucio opened the bag and pulled two of the bottles out. "Okay you swallow two from this one for pain and one from that one to make sure your blood doesn't clot up and stuff."

"What are the other ones?" asked Hana with a nod towards the other bottles in the bag.

Lucio held the bag up in front of his face as he took a closer look at its contents. "Those are just in case pills. Like if you start getting nauseous or constipated then you take them otherwise it's just these two. Let me go get you some water."

As Lucio headed towards the kitchen Hana stood up, her legs swaying beneath her for a moment before she headed into her bathroom. A few seconds later and her strident voice flooded the apartment. "Lucio!"

The Brazilian's hand froze on the tap as Hana yelled at him and he dropped the cup in the sink before hurrying back to the bathroom. "Something wrong Hana?"

Hana tilted her head at the unexpected addition to her toilet she had discovered upon entering her bathroom. "What is that?"

A pair of metal hoses had been attached to the bathroom's supply of cold and hot water through T shaped adapters on one end while the other ends were screwed onto a round piece of plastic sticking out from under the toilet lid. "It's a bidet." said Lucio.

"I can see that!" She snapped. "Why is there a bidet on my toilet? It wasn't there last night!"

"To clean your... after you go to the bathroom you know. I do like you Hana, you're awesome and all that but we're not at a point where I'm willing to..." Lucio rubbed at his neck, uncomfortable with the subject. "I can turn a dial no problem but I'm not gonna do it manually."

"Okay that makes sense." admitted Hana. "What about when I need to change a tampon though? Is that a problem for you too?"

To his credit Lucio's face didn't change color and he opened the cabinet underneath the sink. "I took care of that last night." He said while pulling out a small cardboard box. "I got you some pads so that'll be easier to deal with than sticking a tampon in."

"Pads." repeated Hana, her voice flat. "You got me pads? What, did you just run down to the store and grab the first box you saw? Pads are terrible."

"What? No, no, no, no. I spent an hour looking it up online last night. I didn't know much about pads so I wanted to make sure I got some that are good. They aren't scented, they're thin and all the reviews say they're really absorbent. I just hope your ISP doesn't keep track of people's search histories because mine is sorta weird now."

Hana let out an exasperated sigh, the urge to rub at her forehead and being unable to do so irritating her even more. Arguing the matter further wouldn't accomplish anything but nettling the person she was presently reliant upon. And if Hana was being honest with herself this was a nice gesture on his part even if it wasn't what she would have preferred especially in light of the fact she presently couldn't insert a tampon on her own. "Okay, okay. I'll try it out and see how it goes. Can you give me my pills?"

"Uhh I forgot the cup, hang on." Lucio dashed out of the room to fetch the cup he had left behind earlier before returning and filling it up. Hana washed the first pair down before swallowing the anticoagulant.

"So now what?" asked Hana. "Breakfast then TV or do you want me to coach you again?"

"Breakfast sounds good but I need to study and I got some homework to do." replied Lucio.

Hana tilted her head a little, the answer catching her by surprise. "Homework? I thought you were done with school. That whole thing you said about working at the clinic and hours and stuff." Lucio headed back out into the small living room of the apartment and over to where his backpack was. He pulled a textbook and folder out of it then turned to hold the textbook up where she could see from the bathroom doorway. "Fundamentals of Music Composition." read Hana off the front of the book in question. "Huh? Music? You're a physical therapist. Is that for an elective or something?"

"Physical therapy is how I pay my bills. I like being able to help people rehab from injuries and stuff but music is what I love. Problem is music isn't exactly a consistent source of income unless you're really good and even then... so yeah physical therapy keeps me in my apartment."

"Have you written anything I could listen to?" asked Hana.

"Nothing worth listening to." said Lucio with a shake of his head. "I'm still learning the basics so all my stuff has just been messing around on the computer and frankly it's all terrible. I'll let you listen when I do write something though okay?"

"Sure thing. Let's eat though. There should be some rice in the fridge that I made a couple of days ago, just need to heat it up." Hana said with a tilt of her head towards the kitchen. While Lucio made his way to the fridge Hana adjusted the position of her arms within the sling. If she left them in the same position for too long then they would start to fall asleep or suffer from poor circulation. Move them too much and both limbs would start to hurt resulting in a fine line she had to painstakingly walk every thirty minutes or so.

The sound of the apartment's front door opening caused both of their heads to turn in unison as someone entered.

Seo paused in the entryway in order to slip out of her shoes so that her feet were only wearing a pair of socks. As she came further inside a certain fact imprinted itself onto her brain causing her to freeze in her tracks. Hana was still standing in the bathroom door and out of sight. The one person she could could just happened to be a completely unfamiliar man with black skin and cornrows standing in the kitchen as he held the fridge door open. Seo's mouth opened then shut and she shoved one hand into her purse pulling out a black cylinder which she pointed straight at the stranger. "I'm not afraid to use this!"

"Whoa, whoa, whoa!. Calm down Seo!" Hana hustled across the room to plant herself between the two of them. "I told you my physical therapist would be hanging out here during the day." She turned to the side so they could look directly at each other. "Seo, meet Lucio. Lucio, this is my Starcraft coach Seo."

The canister of pepper spray descended until it was pointed down towards the floor as the muscles in Seo's arms slackened. "This is your physical therapist? I didn't think he would be..."

Lucio lifted an eyebrow at her and he folded his arms across his chest. "Black?"

Seo's face turned crimson when she realized the mistake she had made. "...A foreigner." she finished lamely. "I didn't mean..."

Lucio waved it off with one hand. "It's fine. I got used to it a long time ago. I was gonna heat up some rice, you want any?"

"No thank you." said Seo as she turned towards Hana. "Come here you." She pulled Hana into a hug, albeit a very loose one as if she was hugging a flower with fragile leaves. "How are you doing Hana? Is there anything you need me to do while I'm here or is there something I can go get you?"

Hana affectionately bumped her forehead against Seo's arm in lieu of returning the hug. "I'm pretty good though there is one thing." She gave a distracted Lucio a quick glance before whispering to her coach. "I could use some help turning on the shower. I'd ask him but that'd be sorta weird with how things are between us."

Seo cast Lucio's back a look before returning her attention to Hana. "If the two of you are having problems with each other then I'm sure I could replace him without much trouble."

"No, there's no need for that. He's a good man. I'm just not comfortable with him helping me take a shower if that makes sense. At least not right now." Seo raised an eyebrow at that and Hana blushed. "Come on Seo, let's get this over with."

By the time Lucio had finished heating the rice and turned back around the two women had changed into more suitable apparel for a shower and disappeared into the bathroom without him noticing. He frowned and looked around the now empty room. "Hey, where did you go Hana? The rice is ready."

The only response was the sound of water flowing through the pipes. Lucio shrugged after a moment and pulled a spoon out of the silverware drawer so he could start eating while waiting for them to come back from wherever they had went.
