I can't move much at all.
[Eichi says this so dully, clearly more focused on the cut on Midorima's fingers. His breathing is a little labored, and now it seems that he's beginning to run a fever... It had been difficult to tell in the room itself, and something he wasn't familiar with since he'd never cut any of the vines in the past, but chopping them released a sticky white sap that was poisonous.
Well, not deadly, thankfully. But Eichi can feel that it's doing something, and his fingers drop away from Midorima's wrist in a shock at the realization.]
You should clean it immediately, shouldn't you? The room next door, on my side, should be open for you to use the sink without issue. [He barely even registers the you're okay from moments ago, so focused in on this, even if he's dizzy.]
...It seems that all I can manage is to cause trouble like this. Did it seem as though it was going to wilt away from how much it lost? [Maybe it will... plant bleed out.]

I don't intend to find out.
[ Midorima takes a few more seconds, not really explaining himself for a moment before he moves to get up. Then to get Eichi up. They're not going back in there. The thing could crawl up through the pipes or the vents to get to the next room, and he didn't know enough about it to know exactly how much damage it needed to take. He wasn't a fighter. They could call an exterminator later. ]
We're going to the hospital. Both of us.

[First, Eichi opens his mouth to argue... But then he closes it again, unable to selfishly request that they don't go when Midorima includes himself like that. Even if it's definitely over the top to go to a hospital for his scratch there, he'd rather put his mind at peace... And he feels too guilty about it to refuse him.
So that means going to his least favorite place, too.]
This sap seems to be something terrible as well, so be careful. [A pause, as he breathes, flushed face resting against Midorima without much choice.]

[ He was going to offer to assist if she needed help keeping the light on. But he can't help her with aura, he thinks.
Midorima sets his box of cereal down next to him, opposite Weiss. Just as he's about to speak, there's a loud pounding on the door that they came from where the first room was.
"Hey, are you guys okay? We can't unlock the doors without the power and the whole city's having issues, so it may be a while!" ]

[ In his defense, he's never been scratched with a knife before. He got scratched by a cat once and now he hates all cats. He's so particular about his nails he will stop in the middle of a conversation to fix them if he thinks they're off. His hand requires extreme care. He needs to go to the hospital emotionally if not physically. ]
Can you walk?
[ Midorima can, but if he has to carry Eichi he's probably going to hurt his hand to do so. At least on pick up. For now he's trying not to address the issue at hand (literally) and just focus on getting them there. That's easier than panicking, though his eyes keep glancing back to his hand subsconsciously, so it's not unnoticeable that he can't stop worrying about it. ]

[ Midorima, king of reactivity that he is, just has a stern face about him as he stares at the door. ]
Get a crowbar, then.
[ Let them out?? The guy seems like he's gone though, bye. Midorima is giving this such a bad review on Prelp. ]

[It's so apparent. Eichi doesn't want to put that hand at even more risk just because he's paralyzed, and so even if he's fairly certain what the answer is—]
Let me try.
[He shifts, or tries to, his weight leaning one way but his arms can't move much at all, and his legs won't, either. He looks so troubled, trying this, but he keeps struggling against it, gasping out when he can't will a limb to do what he wants it to. Damn it...!!]
Midorima-kun... I think you should head over on your own. I've dealt with these plants before, so time will wear it off, if not chroma, but your hand...

I'm not leaving you here.
[ Period, end of sentence. He hurt his hand for him, he's not leaving him only a wall away from the thing that did it. He thinks for a moment, then stands up. ]
Not for long anyway. I'll be back in five minutes, possibly less.
[ Eichi is going to owe him a lot of chroma for this. Before the blonde can argue, Midorima's off running, and will be back in about 4 minutes coming up the elevator with what appears to be a red wagon. ]

Not right now. [ She can turn it off.. ] Unless you can think of something we need one for.
[ But for now it sounds like they're just stuck waiting.. ]

...I think I'd prefer to be left alone to die than crawl into that.
[But. There's not much choice that he has, is there. It's better than hurting Midorima's hand...]
At the very least, could you cover my face with something? If my fans see me like this, it would be horrible. They'd worry.

[ Hmm.. He takes off the cloak he's wearing, pulling it over his head. His shirt pulls up for a brief moment of unnecessary abs exposure, then falls back down once the cloak is off. Beneath it, he just has an tank undershirt and pants, since he didn't want to overheat in the Halloween costume. ]
Here.
[ He throws it onto Eichi's head. While he's finding his way through, Midorima kneels down next to him so he can lean on his right shoulder to get up. At least he won't have to crawl. ]

[The cloak is put on, so now he looks like a cloaked baby in a wagon, but more anonymous! It's all he needed, and the chroma was enough to get him in here and now he just hopes Midorima can get his fingers looked at without any issues.
He's silent for a little longer, probably all the way until they're down the elevator and on the streets.]
Thank you. For coming to help, as well as going through all of this effort. I can't stress this enough.

We can't really do the escape room, so there's nothing I can think of right now.
[ As much as she wants to get out to inconvenience him less, anyway.
The Glyph disappears, fading into nothing, before Weiss sits down properly with her hands on her lap. ]
Do you want to play a game to pass the time?

You owe me dinner.
[ He's not saying you're welcome or anything.. that would acknowledge that he went through all of this effort for Eichi. Which he did but still.. it's much easier to just tell him to buy him dinner at some point. ]
Once we're both better.
[ Not healthy. He knows Eichi's never going to be healthy, but once they're both improved is fine. He pulls Eichi slowly so that he doesn't risk falling out, even if Midorima knows he could go faster. ]

[He laughs so softly at that that it's near silent. He's covered by the cloak, so his voice is the smallest bit muffled, but he still speaks clearly over the sound of the wagon for Midorima.]
I'll arrange for whatever you'd like. Fine dining, a cozy family owned place, fast food, to-go... Please look forward to it.

What did you have in mind?
[ It will have to be an audio game. Not being able to see is going to make anything else difficult.]

Blue. [ Obviously, he thinks. ] What was the first idea you had?
We can decide later.
[ Though probably the second option. Midorima likes smaller places, like ramen shops and okonomiyaki restaurants and cafes, as long as they're cultural. He'll eat fast food and to-go and fine dining, but he tends to like more traditional experiences. ]
How are you holding up?

Tired...
[Normally he likes to ramble much more than this, but he sounds groggy, and he still can't move. It's to the point where there aren't even any shifts or fidgets from him. He's still, and his eyes have drifted closed.]
I'm fine, but it's like every bit of Chroma has been drained away. That pollen was irritated and burned, as well.
[He breathes out a sigh, words slow but he still tries to get them out.]
And you? You must be quite troubled. [His HAND...]

[ Midorima can feel it too, though perhaps not to such an extent. He wasn't in there half as long as Eichi, and he'd been warned well-enough to cover his face as soon as he could. He's still tired though, he can't imagine how much Eichi must just want to go to sleep right now. ]
I'm trying not to think about it until the doctor sees it.
[ Which is perhaps why Midorima is being more talkative than usual despite the tire, and despite that he's usually comfortable to let the conversation fall to silence or let someone else do the majority of the talking unless he has something he needs to speak about. Right now, he's trying to keep small talk up because he doesn't want to think about his hand. There's nothing that can be done at this point except go to see the doctor. ]
Do you know where the closest ER is?
[ Midorima knows where one is, but there's a good chance Eichi knows if there's a closer one. ]

Mm. Along this street, turn left at the next intersection and you should be able to see it.
[ He doesn’t even have to open his eyes to give those directions. He’s staying awake, but mostly out of his thoughts running around in his mind. How he’d thought that plant was someone he lost long ago, how that someone vanished while he was hospitalized in that very hospital, how he’d promised Eichi he’d be with him forever, no matter the universe, that he’d dedicate himself to him if he wanted...
His fingers twitch a little, the closest thing he can manage to movement right now.
Midorima cares enough to risk his everything like that. He can’t get it out of his head. He’s not sure it’s right... He’s not sure Midorima should be throwing things like that when Eichi doesn’t even know how long he’ll live, or how long they’ll be able to know each other. He’s glad his eyes are closed. ]
You won’t have to say a word about me for them to check me in, so simply worry about your own situation once we’re inside.

I'm going to say a word. I want my wagon back.
[ ..Plus they should probably know about the pollen and vines. Like it's not just his normal health issues, so Midorima will inform them about both of their issues while they take Eichi away. Midorima doubts he'll need to be bed-ridden at all himself, so he expects he'll be able to come to Eichi's room soon. Maybe that's too optimistic. ]
You should've had your lucky item with you.
[ Midorima's is a wood object, so his staff works nicely. But Eichi doesn't have his. ]
