Kale blinked, "... I never said my body was different than an average persons," he replied, confused.

That seemed to get Blaze more irritated. "You made me think that was the case," she spat at him a little. "You talked about how 'sugar is the best thing for you' and how much energy it gives your body and other dirt."

That seemed to confused Kale more, "For me... and what I do, sugar is vital," he explained after a moment.

Blaze cussed a little as she ran a hand through her hair, trying not to wake Nic up. After a moment she stood to leave.

Kale sighed, "I don't see why you're so upset," he admitted as she stood.

Then suddenly she turned on him. "Nic's out of here and you're not because you don't give your body the nutrition it needs," she spat. "You're not healthy - you never have been. All the sugar is destroying your body! And if you die before I do, I'll make your last few days such a living hell you'll want to die!" And with that, she stormed out of the infirmary like a monsoon. She'd make Pepper very proud.

Kale blinked, eyes widening in shock at her words as she stormed out. He stared blankly after her for a moment before laying back down and staring at the ceiling.

A few hours later, Laurel returned and woke Nic, "Your room's ready," she told him.

"... Ready?" Nic asked, confused.

Laurel paused, "I tore it up earlier," she stated calmly before moving to help him sit up.

Nic... didn't seem too surprised. He seemed slightly hesitant to sit up, but he did. He took his time getting up, but once he was standing he started walking at a decent pace.

"If you can't walk all the way, I'll just carry you," Laurel stated simply as she continued to help him.

Nic kept walking quietly. He kept the same pace the entire trip, never complaining or stumbling. Just putting one foot in front of the other.

Laurel walked Nic into his room and over to his bed before helping him sit down. After a pause she sat down beside him and slowly rubbed her temples.

Nic slowly laid down on the bed. His expression didn't show it, but his body looked tired.

Laurel slowly got up and pulled the blankets back, maneuvering him under the covers before tucking him in. "We'll get you changed later," she told him, "Go back to sleep for now."

For a moment it looked like he might rebel against her order, but then he slowly closed his eyes.
