**What seemed like weeks or even months after Lue's defeat had really been a matter of days (trust me). It took persuading the nurse to allow anyone with the name von Feuerborn back within a 50m range of Al-Qaysar's hospital bed, but eventually the red haired hunter was standing in the doorway with a basket of presumably gifts in hand.**
Ethel
**He takes a look at the dreary scene for a moment, then sighs and steps in.**

If you ask me, if you act like this you'll get yourself killed before you're 30. 

**Noticing a bottle of pain killers on the nearest desk, he sets it aside and places the basket down. Inside are a few homecooked goods, chocolates, one small bouquet, a bottle of hard alcohol, and a handful of get-well cards.** 

To clarify, these came from some "Fans" Of yours. Though, I did toss in the bottle. It's for medicine. Not drinking.
Margaret
|| the "Trust me" 😭😭😭😭
Josie
That makes sense, 
**He looks at the basket**

I'd question your sanity otherwise.
**"Why do you think he's here? Is he checking on you? No, no. That's not like Knox. He must've found out how you stupidly broke up with Raven. Yes, he must be here for that." Said his hallucination**
You sure that bottle is 100% for medicine? With no fun whatsoever?
Margaret
|| also there's still that one side quest in
Terri
|| HE DONATES TO THE POOR, OF COURSE SOME PEOPLE WANT TO PAY RESPECTS
Margaret
|| he'll prob js giveaway most of it 😭
Terri
|| Bro's going to give away his get-well basket 😭
Margaret
|| BROS WRITING AN ESSAY
Ethel
**He tilts his head, looking at Qaysar with a slightly amused smirk.**

Absolutely no fun. You are a hospital patient. And the nurse would have my head if *Say, gods forbid* I sent you a 15% dark red wine from eastern Kahlo. I might as well pour you a glass so you know it's *Certainly, absolutely for medical purposes.*

**He pops the bottle with surprisingly practiced ease and pours a small amount into Qaysar's empty water cup. Interesting. Knox was clearly in a good mood. Perhaps it was because another psychopath vanished the face of the earth and his kingdom was once again safe. Or perhaps he was more interested in having some red wine for himself. After he's set the bottle down, Knox crosses his arms and sits aside from Qaysar.**

I've finished my own arrangements. But you may need someone to watch over Taht Al Ma'a Prison in your absence.
Margaret
|| Al-Sayyad is a vampire, the prison was taht al ma'a 😭
Terri
|| I USED THE SEARCH BAR 😭
Josie
**He was surprised by knox's good mood**

Oh nooo, medical drinks! YUCK!

**He slightly smirks as he drinks from it**

Why the good mood? Life is good? Or are you this happy that I'm chained to a hospital bed? I'll have you know, I sneak out of this room on the daily to go for walks. I won't be treated like a prisoner. 

**"He hasn't called us boar yet! YAY!" She jumps up and down**

The prison should be in good hands... I was actually thinking of destroying it once and for all, it went far from what I expected it to when I was imagining it.
Terri
|| These two are hilarious when they're not at each other's throats
Margaret
|| i incorporate in my own irl interactions and in every character i make
Terri
|| They clearly have a personal vendetta against the nurse 😔
Margaret
|| lets see, knox almost killed qaysar in front of the nurse, and qaysar always sneaks out and once even snuck out for 2 entire days

|| so yes, they do have a vendetta against her and she most definetly hates both of them

|| also uh high chance he starts seizing from the alcohol considering all the drugs in his system
Terri
|| the nurse will be the next villain HAAAHAHAHAHA

|| ... WAIT HE'S GOING TO DRINK IT?
Margaret
|| also i hope yk the only thing keeping coral from tryna murder qaysar is knox

|| O u removed ur own roles :0
Terri
|| I got kicked from the thread when I left
Margaret
|| i would ping u in the one abt qaysars dad but that scene is done so doesnt matter
Terri
|| I think I already said, but was amazing
Margaret
|| yes i recall u saying it was some of my best writing youve seen 😄

|| its only fair that if i torture my characters that badly the make up scenes are good ykwim
Terri
|| Hey, qaysar didn't mess one thing up 😄
Margaret
|| and that would be what

|| make knox tell him that, he rly needs the self esteem boost-
Terri
|| knox wouldn't know qaysar made up with his dad
Margaret
|| OH U WERE REFERRING TO HIS ENCOUNTER W HIS DAD

|| but thats technically in the future compared to this
Ethel
**He grumbles, though obviously in good nature.** 

Al-Qaysar, always so unkempt. Though not to keep a secret, I may leave Kahlo to travel for the next couple years. I did promise Corrie the world, after all... The plans are in the works.

**His expression falls when Qaysar mentions Taht Al Ma'a.**

Don't be a fool. You and I both know that prison serves an important purpose. Blood never comes for free.
Terri
|| OH THAT MAKES A LOT MORE SENSE

|| I THOUGHT QAYSAR ESCAPED THE HOSPITAL TO FIND HIS DAD FOR SEVERAL DAYS
Margaret
|| that works too if u want

|| for the purposes of this encounter

|| ALSO DID HE JUST SAY AL-QAYSAR AND NOT BOAR
Josie
Good on you!

**"Even he is gonna spend time with family... You NEED to visit your son."**

I'm thinking of disappearing off the grid soon... You know I got more family than you think, biological too. 

**He mumbles to himself for a moment**

That prison has done nothing but cause more evil, and you saw it yourself with Lucifer. 

**"UNTRUE! THAT PRISON IS AMAZING AND YOU KNOW IT IS! ITS LIKE YOUR BABY! YOU CANNOT DESTROY IT!"**
**"I MEAN LIKE COME ON! IT HOLDS CRIMINALS WHO YOU AND I BOTH KNOW MOST DON'T DESERVE TO DIE ANYWAYS!"**

**He was irritated by her now**
OH SHUT UP ALREADY! THAT PRISON IS GOOD? NO ITS NOT! YOU KNOW WHAT WOULD BE MUCH BETTER? A FAIR LAW SYSTEM IN KAHLO! ONE WHERE A PEASANT ISN'T SENTENCED TO DEATH FOR STEALING BREAD THEY NEED TO LIVE! 

I-
**He realizes he just lashed out at a non-existent person in front of Knox**
**He looks at knox, in fear of his reaction to this lash out**
**"Good job, he thinks you're crazy now... I mean you are, but you didn't want people to know that."**
Terri
|| Al-Qaysar begins the same as "Always" 😭 He's a literature guy
Margaret
|| HE STILL SAID HIS NAME
Ethel
**He stares at Qaysar dumbfounded for a good moment. Slowly, he takes a step forward, his hand tightening as if preparing for a fight. His eyes don't leave Qaysar's own. His voice, sharp as spit. Cold.** 

What have you done these past few days, boar. 

**It's less of a question, and more of an accusation.**
Terri
YOU RESPONDED BEFORE THE PING
Margaret
AND WAS CHECKING EVERY MIN
Terri
IM SORRY I HAD TO FIND A BETTER SYNONYM THAN "HIS HAND FLEXING"
Josie
**He sighs**
My leg...

**He rubs his hands up and down on his right thigh muscle**

It's the only thing they couldn't fix here... I'm on painkillers.

**He grabs out a bottle, taking 5 at once, clearly more than he should be taking**
Margaret
~~def didnt forget to press enter~~

|| also i js realized this is the last RP qaysar has when hes an addict, and the last one where he drinks with knox

|| HA THREAD DISAPPEARED FOR INACTIVITY TO SENDING MSG HERE

|| im not screaming i js like using caps

|| 0.00000001% of me thought that mightve been a reply
Terri
|| bro doesn't know the alphabet 😭
Margaret
|| shush I lost brain cells
Ethel
**He glares at Qaysar, lowering his fist only slightly.**

You've damaged more than your leg. That much is clear.

**He walks closer to the hospital bed, like a vulture circling its prey. He snatches the bottle of painkillers.**

Who were you talking to, boar.
Margaret
|| dude i had to actually blink a few times bc it didnt look real at first
Josie
**He looks away, in shame**

She's in my head. She- She is my head. I. I'm hallucinating. Pearl's mother. 

**He sighed**

The guilt, the anger. It's killing me. I want to rip my brain out.
Margaret
|| this is what we call a fast response btw /j
Terri
|| I'm going to sleep
Ethel
**Silence. The moment seems to last an hour. The white, torturous hospital walls grow longer. Knox stares at Qaysar, his expression difficult to make out... A mix between perturbed and concerned, his fist shaking around the bottle of painkillers. Then finally, he speaks.**

... What does she say?
Josie
I-
**He sighs**

I don't know, Knox. She- She-
**He had a few noticeable tears in his eyes, he was trying to hold himself together**

She speaks- of how I failed. Failed to keep my promise.
**He collapses down into the hospital bed**

I GOT HER DAUGHTER KILLED KNOX!
**He was breathing heavily, and out of nowhere, he would get up, smashing his hand right into the wall next to the door**

She AND her husband died becuase they helped me, and I couldn't keep my promise. I'm a walking soul collector. Anyone who gets near me gets harmed.

**He sat back down, sighing, the silence was louder than ever, he threw his quarterstaff onto the wall, making a loud bang. The only thing that can be heard was his loud breathing, at this point his vision was blurry, he couldn't tell if it was the tears clouding his eyes, or if he was having a panic attack. What difference did it make anyways? If he wasn't to die from a panic attack, he was bound to die from an overdose, and if not, the universe had already given him a big middle finger, telling him he would be dead within seven years anyways.**

I'm a dead man anyways. All I'm doing is taking people with me.
