Visiting hours! [Private/Indar]

Indar was starting to have some worries, over Hana's brother. He was coughing pretty violently, making Hana guide him back to the private room. During the time, Hana was in there, Indar waited outside. He was sincerely worried about the guy now, he was one of his best friend's brother. He just couldn't not worry, though worrying about humans was something he didn't usually do anymore. He did consider them to be unworthy, but this man, he just couldn't consider him a weakling, on the contrary, this person, was incredibly worthy.

When Hana opened the door and cam back out, Indar was just standing in the middle of the hallway. He shook a little when Hana spoke out, breaking Indar's train of thought. He listened to Hana, patiently, he was quite positive, Mikoto wasn't just tired, but had no clue on what he might have. If he was tired, he wouldn't be in the hospital. Indar sighed and did something that he may shouldn't have. He placed his hand onto Hana's head, rustling her hair a little bit, until saying. '' Hana, if you need any help just tell me, i am your friend, right? ''

Hana's eye averted to the ground during the short silence between then. She guessed he might've figured out that Mikoto wasn't just tired. He was sick, and his condition was deteriorating. Still, that didn't mean he couldn't get better. The doctors had said that there was a chance of recovery, a slim one, but a chance nontheless. That at least, kept her hopes up.

She felt warmth and on her head, distracting her from her thoughts and causing her to look back up at Indar. "Hana, if you need any help just tell me, i am your friend, right?" Indar reminded her. Hana felt her eyes sting, but she chose to ignore it.

Indar pulled his hand away, averting his eyes towards the exit of the hospital. He had been here far longer than he had expected, but meeting up with a good friend was always nice. He sighed, a little unsure on what to do now. Indar turned back to Hana, a sly smile on his face, waiting for the girl to say something, but to really no avail.

He leaned against the closest wall he could find, still unsure on what to say, he kinda wanted to know more what was going on here, why was her brother in the hospital. Another sigh came from him, he hadn't got a clue on how to ask about it or if he should. It may have been a very delicate topic, one that Hana didn't want to talk about, so it was better to be safe than sorry in this situation.

Indar's eyes moved back towards Hana, they were very questioning, but he said nothing, just kept quiet.

Hana noticed the questioning look Indar gave her. She, however, did not feel like answering his question, not did she want to even think about it. Sadly, she already was.

Her eyes were staring at her feet, her long, pink fringes casting a shadow over her eyes. What was this feeling? Hopelessness? No, couldn't be. Guilt. That was probably it. She thought about the what ifs. What of they'd found out about his condition earlier? What it she had paid more attention to him when they were younger instead of training? Would things have turned out different? If she had been the one to fall ill, it wouldn't have been so bad. Her life was nothing special. She was... "Insignificant." she muttered out unknowingly.

Eyes staring at Hana intensively. She seemed a lot more emotional then usual. Indar had never before seen her like this. It was quite odd, but at the same time, he was a little relived that she could show emotion. Though from her looks, these emotions were the bad kind, not ones one would want.

Indar picked up something, that he may shouldn't have. Hana was seemingly getting depressed for some reason. Indar didn't understand it, but he knew one thing. He had to help her right now, even though he was horrible with comforting people.

He moved closer to her and pulled her into a friendly embrace. He wanted to make her not feel alone or well insignificant, but didn't have any idea how to do it. '' You are not insignificant, not to anyone, especially not to the people who were in the same team as you. '' Indar released the hug after saying that and looked at Hana, before continuing: '' We do care about you. ''

Hana had been lost in her thoughts, brooding over past mistakes, until she felt a pair of arms wrap themselves around her, pulling her into an embrace. She looked up to her teammate, albeit dazed and unfocused, and it took a few moments before she realized that he was hugging her.

Upon releasing the hug, Indar looked at her. "You are not insignificant, not to anyone, especially not to the people who were in the same team as you. ''

His words echoed in her mind for a while. Again, she found the floor interesting to stare at. This time, however, she smiled a little. "You know something, Indar? I envy you." she said, looking back to him, a small, barely visible smile on her face.

Hana gave a nonchalant shrug. "Maybe it's because you're so much like my brother. I've always envied him too... His strength, his confidence, his ability to befriend almost anyone he meets..." she spoke in an even softer voice, feeling somewhat embarrassed of being weak in front of Indar. Perhaps just this time, she'd allow Indar, and only Indar, to see what a weakling she was.

Hana, much to her surprise, found herself being embraced by Indar - again. To her dismay, she found it quite... Enjoyable, to say the least. Indar was warm. She wouldn't mind it if they stayed like this for a while. Hugs were nice. The only other person that had ever hugged her was Mikoto. Indar had been the second - and hopefully the last.

Hana was brought back to reality when Indar laughed, saying that she had no need to envy him, since he already saw her as a strong person. Hearing that made her feel... What was it called, happy? Yes, that was it. Hearing him say that he already thought she was strong made her happy, and she liked the pleasant feeling, she noted. But now, she was confused. Feelings made her weak. Feelings made everyone weak. That was how all her previous teammates were killed. That was how Takashi had been fooled by their mother.

But she liked this feeling. She didn't want to not have this feeling. Now she was confused. What to do, now that she had been weakened? Training. Definitely training. she thought. Hana was again, interrupted in her thoughts when he released her from the hug, looking her in the eye. An awkward silence befell the two, before Hana looked away, her soft gaze hardening, and returning to her normal icy cold glare. "Apologies, I must leave now. Please tell no one of what I told you. Pretend that all this never happened." she said, turning around swiftly to leave, burying her pink face in her dark red scarf. If Indar had looked closely, he would've noticed that faint blush on her cheeks before she looked away a moment ago.

Also... If he had looked very carefully, he would've spotted a hint of red from behind the door. Mikoto, being the nosy big brother he was, closer the door with a grin much like a Cheshire Cat in his face. Oh Hana... You never told me you had a thing for blondies. he thought, chuckling.
