Nat had been working at the hospital for a while now, giving people their ability to walk back. He's enjoyed it. Working with the Hokage and Shizune has been a great experience. Sure, it's hard work but it's all worth it just to see the smile on people's faces when they stand up for the first time in so long without people's support.

He got to know quite a lot of people too, they were all really friendly. They had given him gifts too, as a thanks to the work he's done so far.

Nat was actually going to visit the person with the first plastic leg the now. He held a notebook to his chest with all the records of everyone he's assessed in handwriting only he can understand, and walked down the corridor greeting the nurses and doctors as he went.

Once he'd reached the room, he knocked on the door before entering.

"Hey!" Nat yelled, glaring at Lawrence. "I thought I told you that I need to be here when you do this!"

Lawrence rolled his eyes, holding tightly onto the bars as he continued to desperately try and keep his balance. "I'm fine, Nat. Honestly."

"I don't care if you're fine." Nat said, closing the door behind him. "I care about how you're messing up my records!" He waved his notebook in front of the boy dramatically.

Lawrence, once again, rolled his eyes. "Okay, sorry for messing up your note taking."

"So you should be." Nat agreed making the boy laugh.

It had been just over a month now since the surgery and Lawrence was doing well. He was determined to get back on his feet...foot and flexible-plastic-stick thing. He was very much like Lee in the sense he couldn't just sit still and relax.

Sure, Stumpy (he called his stump 'Stumpy') was a little hard to get used to, and did swell up in the beginning, but now it's not too bad. He's now going through the stages of rehabilitation. But, sometimes he just wanted to rehabilitate too quickly...

He just had to keep building strength up in his legs.

"You need your rest as well, if you overexert yourself you could potentially break the plastic in your leg meaning you'll need another surgery." Nat lectured him.

"Whatever."

"Don't you whatever me!"

"I'll whatever I want, whenever I want."

"I'm so done with you." Nat sighed, rubbing his forehead.

After going through the process of seeing how Lawrence is coping with the plastic leg, and Nat taking down all the notes, the pair would usually talk for a while or watch a movie. Sometimes some other patient would come find them for company, even Den decided to hang out a few times. Lawrence had taken the plastic stick off as it got in the way when trying to relax.

Though Nat is pretty sure it's for more reasons than just 'getting to know the guy, really' seeing as Den is a jealous bugger at times.

"How long do you think till I'll be able to walk again?" Lawrence asks suddenly, "You know, properly."

Nat shrugged his shoulders. "Well, seeing as how you're doing pretty well at recovering...I'd guess maybe another month or two."

"Yes!" Lawrence cheered, rising from his seating before realising - oh right - he only really had one leg to balance on.
