Woah, some l00d got snuck in there....

Oswald Connoly- Infirmary

By this point, Oswald knew better than to laugh at Sapphire's joke. His body was sore enough without him putting it under any more strain. Still, he curled his lip into a smile and nodded in greeting. "Well, I was chatting a bit with Diamond, but she's probably off stuffing her face now that she's got the all-clear to go do her own thing." Awkwardly forcing himself into a half-laying, half-sitting position, Oswald shrugged. "It's just as well. Our mission only went marginally better than the last one did. Shiro was asking about it just before, actually."

Remembering Shiro's appearance also reminded Oswald of their failed attempt to retrieve Sapphire's daggers from the lake below Beacon. It was a shame they'd been unable to get them, though he was sure the daggers would still be in...passable condition...if the two were to make another attempt. That wasn't important at the moment, though.

"From the lack of your teammates confined to their beds here, I take it your mission went swimmingly." Ooof, a pun. He hadn't even intended it when he started the sentence, but the damage was done. "Ours was...less of a failure than you might think. Technically." Much like the mission he went on with MODA, CODE's mission was a success in that its objective was completed, but weighed on Oswald as yet another failure due to his inability to avoid another bloodbath.

"Less of a bloodbath than the last one, at least..."

@harinezumikouken There's no hatred in Gratia's eyes, man.

She's just got a really intense stare. She doesn't really do visible emotion.

@Crimmy

The eyes of a predator who knows it has no enemies...

Oswald Connoly- Infirmary

The simple mention of food from Diamond made Oswald's body hurt. Could she please not remind him that good food was a thing that existed? He was fine eating crappy hospital food, but it had been a while since he'd had a nice, hearty meal. Yeah, I could go for that right about now, too. Although I'd probably need a smaller meal so I don't make my ribcage explode.

Looking down at the IV in his arm, Oswald sighed. This was hardly the first time he'd had one, but it was hard to get used to the feeling. The restriction of movement in his arm from the needle, the constant dull pain, it all worked to remind someone of the condition they were in. That they'd had a brush with death.

Wait, rare? Bloody, raw meat? That's disgusting Diamond. You freak. :P

As always, I blame Hari

Oswald Connoly- Infirmary

Send pics! She'd be able to tell he was joking, right? Was it worth the risk? After a few moments, Oswald decided it wasn't. He hadn't sent the message yet, thankfully, so he quickly backspaced and fixed the message. Literally coughed up some blood a few minutes ago, Diamond. Figured we could both use a distraction. I'm not a complete monster, ya know?

He couldn't blame her for being angry. He still barely had any idea of what she'd gone through, having been unconscious since he launched that flare, save for a few touch-and-go moments where he swam in ans out of consciousness. Considering the fact that Emerald hadn't been turned into mincemeat, however, Oswald wasn't sure she'd had the luck he and Cobalt had. Still, that didn't mean he had to be a bastard about it all.

Oswald Connoly- Infirmary

With Shiro gone, Oswald's mind began to wander towards figuring out a way to spend his time while he was bedridden. Even he couldn't spend all his time moping about the current state of affairs. His mental faculties were too dulled by the pain medication to think in-depth about how he could improve his equipment, as well.

This was truly a pickle. A bored Oswald was not a pleasant Oswald, and this weekend was already shaping up to be wildly unpleasant. What could he do to relieve his boredom? Shiro had utterly killed his desire to speak with the Faunus boy, and Emerald was already busy talking with him. He wasn't looking forward to discussing what happened with anybody, but he didn't particularly know anybody he could talk to who wouldn't ask about the mission.

Except Diamond. Dammit, and she'd just left, too.

I'm bored. Entertain me. That should suffice. Hopefully.
