Kaliri looked down at her hand, and scowled at it. Why was it her right hand was always causing her more trouble than it was help. She shook it out a bit, and there was a sudden white-hot pain that shot up her arm. It made her suck in her breath sharply, but she gave no other indication anything was wrong. Other than rolling her eyes, and cradling her hand more gently. She wandered after Otomeken, who clearly had an idea which way to go.

Otomeken shook her head. "You don't have to say anything... Even your breathing tells me how bad it hurts..." Otomeken didn't bother telling her that they had already passed the road to the commons. She was leading Kailiri straight to the hospital...

Kaliri grunted. "My own stupidity." She said, as though reminding Otomeken. "There's not a lot for it. i figure the arm is probably bruised. I'll get over it." To prove her point, she tried lifting her arm experimentally. That seemed to go over with slightly less pain than a brutal bloody death, so she tried flexing the hand. She accidentally allowed a small sob to escape before giving up and letting the hand drop again. "Okay, probably pretty bruised. I'll wrap it when we get home. I have to clean up anyway." she shrugged, completely unaware of where they were, now, and having to judge in the darkness. She put out a hand to ask Otomeken to stop, and bent down, taking off her shoes and socks, and holding them in her other hand. At least this way, she would be able to find her way without falling. A little help, but every little bit did.

Otomeken waited until she was ready, and then continued to lead her on. Soon, the lights of the front door of the hospital would be in view to anyone actually using their eyes. "Yeah, getting that wrapped up sounds like a plan," Otomeken said as if they had only come to the hospital by chance...

Kaliri looked dubiously at the hospital doors. "Isn't there somewhere else we can go to get it done?" She asked, plaintively. She wriggled her toes in the feel of the earth. For some reason, feeling the soil made her more sure of herself, more confidant, but it was unlikely the difference would be noticed by anyone other than herself.

"Probably. I could probably do it myself. But here they'll do it right, come on," Otomeken said and continued walking, listening to make sure Kaliri was going to follow...

Hesitantly, Kaliri took a few steps forward before sighing and following the other girl. This was the last place on earth she wanted to be right now. Other than down that hole. this was the place where she woke up for the first time, ater Kumori had killed her brother. And then, nearly immediately, there was that scary ANBU man asking a lot of scary questions in his mean and scary voice. Yeah, this was definately a place she'd rather choose to avoid. Still Otomeken was right, and this was where she needed to be. Didn't make her any happier about it. When they got to the door, she stopped to put on her socks and shoes. She felt almost... well, naked, without being able to feel the earth beneath her. She sighed her good bye, and turned to the hospital building.

Otomeken knew a thing or two about dealing with the ANBU, but she knew nothing of Kaliri's experiance with them. And so she stood at the door, holding it open, and just waiting. "The line up doesn't look very long, so we shouldn't have to wait for too long to see a medical nin, come on," she said softly, coaxing Kaliri inside...

Kaliri shouldered her way through the door, and looked dejectedly at the rooms inside. She made a face in Otomeken's general direction, and trundled over towards the counter to speak with one of the nurses.

Otomeken didn't react to the face, which she of course got a rough idea of it's contorted shape through sound; but followed Kaliri to the admitting desk.
The elderly lady at the desk did not appear to be a ninja, and looked over the wooden panel at Kaliri. "Oh my dear," she said in a grandmotherly tone. "What happened to you?" she asked, seeing the girl wasn't in serrious or life threatening danger...

"I bruised some knuckles in training, and my friend is overreacting." Kaliri responded, deadpan.

The nurse just smiled, and smiled at Otomeken as well. Something flashed in her eyes. Maybe it was a memory, maybe something else; but she seemed to remember Otomeken from something privious. She whispered to Kaliri, perhaps not realizing that it would do no good. "She seems like the type who would dear. Come this way, we'll get you just right as rain," she said pleasently enough and led the way for Kaliri to follow her back to an examining room, leaving Otomeken behind...

Kaliri snorted, knowing full well Otomeken was being kind and indulgent, letting the lady believe the whisper had done anything to stop her from hearing the comment. It trickled into the back of her head that Otomeken, at least th Otomeken she was used to, would have made some sort of negative reaction to that. As a matter of fact, it was easier for Kaliri to imagine otomeken strangling the nurse while hacking at her throat with the clipboard than it was to access the memory of what had really happened. She stopped chuckling at once. Instead, she kept this thought rolling around in her brain, sloshing into other half-formed, evanescent thoughts and memories like a cracker in a bowl of soup. Seen from the bottom, in silhouette. Silently, she followed the nurse.

She was led into an examination room, and the nurse informed the medical nin attending as to what she was told. The medical nin nodded, and approached Kaliri. "Ok, let's take and look, and we'll see what we can do..."

Kaliri started to let her mind drift, thinking she could withstand the pain of a bruise, and so it wasn't highly necessary that she focus, or lose her train of thought. She lifted the hand, and waited for the mednin to do whatever he was going to do.
