Alex wasn't in the medical ward for long, Marco kept his word, letting her go as soon as he was finished with her check up. With a new bandage, some Antibiotics and a few minutes of poking and prodding she was free to go.
When Alex asked where Namur and Haruta were, she was informed that they had returned to the apprentice cabin, Namur had been told to put his leg up, thankful nothing was broken, he was just badly bruised, other than that he was fine which was a relief to hear. Haruta apparently got away with only a sprained wrist and a few cuts, Alex was amazed and surprised by how sturdy they were.
This left Alex with the option to go back to the mast or to go back to the apprentice cabin. After a few moments of thought outside the door of the ward, she made her decision. She went off to find the apprentice cabin, she was done with feeling sorry for herself, she was still mad about her dumb bratty behaviour, but dwelling on it wasn't going to get her anywhere.
It took her longer to find the apprentice cabin than she'd like to admit, there were too many other scents around for her to use her nose, so she ended up going back and forth for a while until she finally stumbled upon the busted up door.
When she entered she find Namur sat up in bed, his leg resting on several pillows and Haruta was on the floor fixing their bamboo sword. It had taken quite the beaten in the battle, although Alex was unsure how you'd go about fixing something like that, but from what she could tell Haruta was wrapping it up with ductape, so that answered her question...
Namur greeted her cheerfully, big toothy grin on full display "Hey! You're back!"
"OH HEYA AL! Where'd ya go?" Haruta yelled waving their newly ductapped sword over their head.
"Uh? Well... are you guys okay?" Was all Alex could manage, she tried for a smile but it looked more like she'd just sneezed.
Haru got up, throwing their sword over there shoulder and marched over to the smaller teen, however they halted immediately screwing up their face in a grimace. "Geez Al... you stink and you're all dirty. You need a bath."
Alex stood there stunned for a second, she was still surprised by Haruta's bluntness. She wasn't really offended or anything, it was probably true, she probably did look gross. Now that she was looking at Haruta closer, they did look much cleaner than this morning, in fact their hair was still slightly wet.
"Haruta! Don't be so rude!" Namur snapped at them, shaking his head in disbelief.
"What? It's true. She got chewed by a Sea king, she probably has fish breath on her."
"You can have said it less- you know... rude."
"Al are you upset?"
Alex shifted uncomfortably, she wasn't upset, but Namur was making her feel like she should be. "I'm fine..."
"SEEEEEE" Haruta retorted, Namur rolled his eyes still looking annoyed on her behalf???
"Come on, I'll show you the bath house." The ginger nodded towards the door, before pausing and quickly spun around, jogging over to their side of the room where the pile of clothes they'd shown Alex yesterday was still sat. "Hold on, you need more clothes, no point you getting clean if you just put on those dirty clothes on again."
"Wait! Hold on. I- no..." Alex staggered out, now she was feeling upset, there was no way that she was going to a bathhouse... Bath house's were generally public places.
"What? Why?" Haruta looked up from the clothes pile, staring straight at Alex with a frown.
Alex sighed "I don't want anyone seeing my messed up eye... or my other scars" she admitted in a low voice.
