Thanks, Aether. I'll be just fine. Take care of yourself in the meantime, too.
[Ajax gives his friend one last look, his eyes soft but still intense from the thought of this entire encounter. And then he turns to go, limping out of the room, debating whether he should just stay here or go see one of the family's doctors who could keep all of this under wraps.
It's a few days later when Ajax finally manages to secure the stones, his breath taken away by how they glow in his hand when he looks at them. Though, it's not by astonishment that his breath leaves him, but rather, that he feels as if he's holding Lumine's very life in his hands, and how frightening that is. He has to get them to her immediately, and thankfully he won't have to go far to get them to her. His penthouse downtown isn't far from the hospital, and he'd been ordered to rest as he recovers.
Ajax expects Aether to be there, knowing her brother would not leave her side unless forced to. He enters, looking much better, making sure that the bandages on his body are fully covered by his clothing. The only indication that he's still hurt is the walking stick he's using, smiling to Aether weakly. It was tiring getting up here.]
Lumine...
[He sees that she's woken, his eyes brightening as he walks up to the side of her bed.]
Haha, you had me worried sick...
[But there's no mistake in the smile he wears now, relieved and happy that she's still alive.]
