Day 148 - Tuesday, August 26th
[A blood transfusion and a hand injury normally aren't inpatient procedures, but there are quite a few extenuating circumstances. A lack of party to see to his safe discharge and return home, his status as an out of state resident, and most importantly, Max failing to give any insurance information before passing out all lead to Ash waking up in a private room.
Nurses being sweet on him isn't anything new. If anything, that they don't seem to want to do anything more than enjoy looking at him and talking sweetly and reassuringly to him, more than flirtatiously, might be a novelty. If he asks, they can breezily break HIPPA to answer about the man he rode in with; he has an arm injury, but fortunately nothing to a joint or bone, and nothing that is expected to have long term damage, though certainly he shouldn't be lifting much with it. Not that he should be lifting much anyways, but those seemed to be pre-existing injuries.
If he's willing, the police would like to hear is story, to see if it aligns with the one Max had told, but given his identity seems to check out, it's mostly a formality. Of course, Ash is free to wander the hospital, ask to be guided anywhere he likes, or relax in his own private room for a time. Max will be checking himself out at 7:00 AM if Ash hasn't made his way to him yet. He has therapy to go do today. He still has to win therapy, to tell Ash about it when he sees him, after all.
And also to fetch the cats. The police station is no place for Asher. Maybe for Kuroneko, he's lovable, but cops have some weird authority thing, and a cat who won't roll over and play nice like a dog won't necessarily be as eagerly accepted. So he fears. The fact that Asher has had that spunk and personality shocked right out of him isn't something he wants to think of as long lasting; if the cats are, in his mind, Ash and Eiji, then Ash(er) should bounce right back, no matter how much false bravado it takes.]
