"Certainly. We have a room that we use for changing Ienzo, I'll take you there." said Even calmly, leading Aqua and the others inside and to a plain white room with a changing table. "That might not wear off for a while. e have some thicker diapers that are around Ven's size, they're under the wipes." Then he left them to the unpleasant task, going to check on Ienzo.

Ven was laid on the changing table but he was still crying and now even kicking his feet, it wouldn't hurt but it did make it more of a hassle to remove the diaper. Aqua had left and found the stuff with Ven's things and gently pressed his pacifier into his mouth and gave him Frosty. It did reduce him to upset sniffles as well as make him stop kicking his feet.

Eraqus made short work of changing the boy, then picked him up and cuddled him close. "Alright, now to go speak with Doctor Even, hm?"

Across the hall, Even was peeking into Ienzo's room.

"O-Okay Daddy..." Ven said as he hugged onto the man. Aqua's eyebrow raised, when did Ven start calling their master that?

"Master... Why is Ven calling you that?" she was curious.

-----

Ienzo was curled up on his bed and suckling on a pacifier, hugging his teddy bear close. His face was still stained with tears.

"There was a bit of an incident before we left. Speaking of, didn't I tell you we would come back?" asked Eraqus to Ven, smiling at him.

Even slipped inside, walking to Ienzo's bedside. He gently ran a hand over the child's hair. "Oh, my poor baby..." he mumbled to the sleeping boy. He then walked out, flicking on a small radio-like machine on the dresser and putting the earpiece in.

Ven nodded with a small smile on his face he went and kissed the man on the cheek. en

-----

Ienzo mumbled but found himself to be a little less tense.

Eraqus kissed the boy on the tip of the nose and walked out of the changing room. He took the boy down to the cool, sterile environment of the lab, setting him on a table as Even went to work. "Alright... mm-hm... yep, just as I thought... ooh, that one looks nasty!" He was making these and other comments like them as he inspected Ven's wounds.

Ven trembled a bit as he hugged Frosty close to him. These comments were making him nervous, he felt Even barely touch his ankle which resulted in a loud yelp.

"Uh-huh. That's sprained pretty badly... it may not set itself back quite right. It would likely have been better if you had broken it." sighed Even. He handed Eraqus a bottle of some odd, pink substance. It had a dropper with it. "One dropperful in a nighttime bottle until it's all gone. It'll help prevent infection in the cuts. He won't be able to walk by himself for a while, and as a matter of fact you may have to re-teach him. Now, Ven, lay down here for me while I check one last thing."

Ven whimpered when he was said he'd have to relearn to walk. He laid down on the table, squeezing Frosty as tight as he could and tried not to cry.
