THE NEXT DAY FOR EVERYONE NOT JUST ME...
Scarrlet awoke slowly, everything a slight blur in his memories. "Ugh.. Where am I..?" he asked sleepily, looking around and trying to decipher his location. "... You're in the hospital at the nearby city, sir." Lucario said, looking at Scarr from across the hospital room through shimmering glasses. "Lu? Did.. You carry me here..?" he sat up slowly, still mildly confused. "Yes sir. It is my duty to protect you, and you needed assistance with concern to your health." he informed proudly. "Huh.. Impressive job..! I'm proud of you, boy!" "Oh, please don't call me 'boy' sir.. It's degrading for a protector of my level.." Lucario dropped his arms and head in a sullen state, speaking quietly. "Heheh..! Sorry, couldn't resist..~ ... So who saw me in a state of weakness..?" Scarrlet asked, afraid of breaking his reputation and afraid of his identity being revealed. "Not many, sir. I used an alias when we checked in and an illusion barrier to mask my appearance." Scarrlets eyes widened some, his expression showing mild surprise at how well Lucario had done his job. "Wow.. Great job!!~" he said approvingly, giving Lucario a big thumbs up as he reached into his satchel. "Here's a treat~" he pulled out a flavored dog treat and threw it to his partner. "Ooh!~" Lucario jumped excitedly, catching the treat happily in his mouth. "Heh.. And me calling you 'boy' is degrading..~" Scarr spoke teasingly. "Oh, shuttup.." Lu replied, swallowing his treat.
