Imagination day 17 ; voice

[stardustofdawn]

[The surgery is complete and a success. He is resting on one of the beds in the medical room on the second floor. There are several layers of gauze wrapped around his head and he wraps himself up with blankets. It's a weird sensation to actually feel something in those sockets, as it has been years, and he realized he has eyes. But he's not ready yet, as he used to the darkness.

It must have been many hours, but he was knocked out. Upon awakening, the unpleasant side-effects of the anesthesia wear off, and he's starts waking up, feeling groggy after sleeping for a long time, that he's too weak to even call out to anyone nearby him, so speaking into the device]

Hello...? I think I'm all right? Is this thing even on? I'm awake. I'm okay, just had a very long sleep and a very long dream. I think all I ever wanted right now is blankets, pillows, and this sweet called ice cream? My head doesn't feel so good.

I'm going to lie down for a little bit.

[ayao]

Yes, I am. [The bed will dip as Meng Yao sits beside him. He presses the cold bowl into Xingchen's hands and shows him where he has placed the spoon.]

Do you need help eating?

[stardustofdawn]

[He sat up, still feeling a little woozy, blindly searches for, and got the cold bowl. He can hear where the spoon is, so he takes it]

No, I think I got it. Thank you for bringing me this.

[He eats slowly, and it's really good, so he eats another more of the ice cream from the bowl]

Don't think we ever met. I'm Xingchen.

[ayao]

[Meng Yao keeps close by just in case, smiling faintly at the other man's easy grace.]

It wasn't any trouble whatsoever.

[He observes the bandaging curiously.]

I am well-aware of your reputation, Daozhang Xingchen. I am Meng Yao.

[stardustofdawn]

Meng Yao...? I think I heard of you before...

[It took him a few long moments for him to jog his memory, but he feels brain foggy from the medicine]

Lanling Jin Clan?
