Leorio grumbled a bit as he walked around the school's small nurse office rechecking the school medical supplies while Alluka sat in a chair nearby while watching the tall suit man grumble.

Why was he grumbling? Because he wanted to be with his friends taking the classes to go find his friend who he failed. Yes, he failed Gon because the kid was going through some rough things and might be involved in something worse if the story about someone scary taking him in did nothing but tickle his nerves. Still, Leorio was not able to be there for his friend when he needed him the most, and most of the day he hears kids whispering bad stuff about Gon and had to be held back several times by Alluka who would give her glares,too.

But sadly he could only sign up for the school nurse position since the last one went missing for some unknown reason.

So instead of being out there, he is stuck in here with only Alluka who was not bad to hang out with, she was more polite than her older brother so that was a win.

"Leorio, you should calm down, "Alluka said to Leorio, who was still searching the cabinets.

Leorio sighed, closing the cabinet and sitting on a cot.

"Sorry, Alluka, it 's just this whole thing that bothers me."

Alluka nodded. She barely knows Gon except for her brother's sparse, very sparse stories and when they meet. She could tell Gon was a good person but mostly he made her brother happy so she wanted to help.

"I know but who knows. Maybe Gon might show up in the nurse office for some reason"

Leorio smiles at the girl who smiles back as Leorio rubs her head. He did not have the heart to tell her that Gon would mostly avoid the nurse office unless he is going for someone else. It would take two missing limbs, five broken bones, and maybe a crack rib before the boy willingly steps into one. Still, he hopes he doesn't come in like that.''Maybe you're right." Leorio sighed in the quiet room before he took out a roll of bandages.

"Hey Alluka. You want to learn how to bandage an arm."

"Sure" Alluka chirped, hoping off her seat to take the roll and follow Leorio's instructions as she carefully wrapped up his arms.

This continued as Leorio kept showing Alluka different things from bandages to stitches which they did during lunches where the girl practiced on a pear. Leorio was amazed at how steady her hands were.

Leorio was starting to clean up all the supplies and their trash after having a lovely lunch.

The school may have terrible people in it but they sure did know how to cook and the food must be expensive and high class.

"That was so yummy, huh Leorio" Alluka chirped with Nanika humming in agreement at the plate they had. Especially the piece of the blueberry pie they had.

Leorio hummed, collecting their trays to place to the side.

"Leorio"

Leorio turned to see Alluka who was now gripping her skirt as she looked sadly at the ground.

"Do you think Gon is okay? I have this bad feeling, you know, like where he is living. He is living in an abandoned hospital and I can't help but remember his text. He called the man scary and then no longer responded. He even lost his aunt. He must feel abandoned and lonely for so long. Still, I just have this feeling."

Alluka bit her lips as Leorio chuckled, rubbing her head as she looked up.

"Don't worry kid. Your brother is on it and Gon is tough. I know your worry but we are going to make things straight. Don't worry."
