Drake would wake up in the infirmary. His legs would be in casts and he would be hooked up to all the iv's.
"Ah, shit."
He would say as he tried to sit up. But the pain in his whole body told him that moving was a bad idea right now... So back down onto the bed he would go. What the hell was he going to do now...

She would be walking dressed somewhat formally and yet comfortably as she had stayed for a while. After hearing he arrived in he infirmary she made her way to see him and she had stayed a moment or so until he woke.
He flowers she ordered arrived and she was walking down the hall way. Granted special access to see the Prince was something she was made to wonder what Raikotsu thought.
She walked and and saw him checking the Damage done.
She knocked with a small bouquet resting on her hip in a tall case.
"Might I enter, Prince Drake? You might not like it your highness but with ears and eyes around it is proper I treat you like the Royalty you are. So forgive me while doors remain open this time." She bowed with calculated grace so not to spill the water in the Vase.

Drake blinked at her arrival and introduction.
"Ugh."
He would say tossing his head back onto the pillow.
"This IS hell, isn't it."
Drake wallowed for a moment in self misery noting that Dime was still standing in the doorway. He rolled his eyes.
"Well come on it. No point in standing half in, half out."
He would note the flowers she had with her.
"So, what brings you here?"
He would ask the same way one would ask someone they just happened to run into on the street by sheer coincidence.

"You seem to be a bit lost." She would close the door behind her and walk over to place the flowers on his bedside table.
"Do you know what happened? I got word that you were here and has since came by while you slept without neary a word else." She tilted her head. "Certainly there are better ways to heal in this territory we have a handful of Prota's tanks for those in this level of condition. I spend a couple of hours in one and my ribs are healed..." She thought about it more. "Is the King playing one of his games? He is good at those there is always a surprise ending." She grimaced. Realizing she is talking too much. "I'm prattling on... I apologize deeply."

Prattling she was indeed. Drake was not amused and his eyes as he stared at her said as much. For the first time he would take a good look at her soul to tell what kind of person she was. She was loyal to her king and country that was for sure. She was also quite the honest person it would seem Drake sighed. She almost came across like a zealot.
"Yes, I know how I came to be here. Your 'King' beat me fair and square in a fight, and then broke both my legs as an example of his power. He called me weak. And then told me I was no better than my mother. Then had his... servant thing bring me here. As for why I'm not in a tank from what I understood going in and out of consciousness is that thing tell the doctors that the King demanded that I should have to heal from this the long way, and anyone caught assisting me doing otherwise would be punished severely."
Drake shook his head and chuckled.
"All in all, still not as bad as my mother, ironically."

"After all that and this, you don't hate him?" She would ask.

Drake would look at Dime with that look that said, 'Oh really?' and shook his head.
"Of course I hate him. There is absolutely nothing about this situation that screams ok, and even less that would suggest this is 'good parenting'. All I'm saying is that for the two shit parents I was dealt. My mother was by far the worst of the two. From what I can tell at least Rai doesn't fake his affection for me. He lays everything out in the open for me to understand what he is wanting and expecting of me. I can live that."

"Then I misunderstood." She wasn't smiling looking at him. "I had a far off impression of King Raikotsu I never noticed how forced his ”kind face” was. We live wealthy and healthy lives and it's all thanks to his good work... But this is quite painful to see. Knowing him this might be just as much a test to me as it is to you. If I were so bold as to say, If you asked of me to find away to escape it would test my loyalty to him no doubt."

Drake sneered.
"I would ask for no such thing for I am not a coward! Do NOT think so lowly of me to assume that I would attempt to flee after my first days rough encounter! I am not my mother."
He would glare at Dime for daring to accuse him of the same thing that Rai had at their last... 'meeting.'

"And thus you are passing the King's test. He might be a little proud you have not chosen poorly." She weakly smiled. "Forgive me I had not meant to insult. Nor do I think you are remotely resembling a coward. But the King considered it a possibility at least twice over."
She nodded. "With your resolve inspiring mine, what will be your next step, My Prince?"

Drake took a pause to calm his anger. She was right. She wasn't the one insinuating his cowardice. That was all his fathers doing. But he would prove him wrong... Drake looked at Dime with determination in his eyes.
"I will sit out this punishment of his. I will use this time to plot, and plan. Then, I will get stronger, and I will keep getting stronger, until the day I'm strong enough to do unto him what he has done to me."
Drake would then pose a question to Dime.
"Will you help me do this?"

"I cannot help you do that" she would say flatly. "By aiding you in facing the King and bringing him harm is premeditated treason. But if the Prince is asking me for my help and become strong enough to live up to the King's high expectations... Then that I most certainly will do." She had a tricky grin.
We had to get specific here... Kuron or some other might still be listening.

Drake raised an eyebrow at this response. She was quite witty indeed... he chuckled.
"Fair enough. Then, if I may ask you a small favor. While I'm stuck here, can you look for leads that would help US acquire strength?"

"What means are you thinking?" She gave thought to his request. "Some of us use the Augmentation Prota provides. Drugs are also a way... Or the good old fashion training day by day. Unless you know of other ways?"

Drake would ponder.
"Not drugs, while the benefits may be great, the drawbacks are severe. I'm looking for long term strength. Not a quick fix. Training is a given of course, but I know not of this augmentation. I would like to know more about it."
