Actually, Hiro thought that it was more likely because of Ginta's apparent tendency to try to bounce off the walls when he could scrape up the energy to do so, a hypothesis well supported by the nurse's instinctive flash of wide-eyed gratitude when Hiro'd asked if he could borrow a wheelchair for Ginta.
A moment later, she'd shut away the surprised relief behind a closed expression and a flat tone laying down the ground rules: 'no leaving this floor, no matter what he says, and for goodness' sake, don't let him out of your sight!' But the second one was impossible for Hiro, and she'd calmed down considerably about the first once he'd told her that he was Intel--apparently they were 'relatively safe.' (Which left Hiro wondering what the Hunters got up to--he had visions of ANBU agents in wheelchairs chakra-adhering themselves out of windows and careening down the sides of buildings. It must have been too far-fetched, but then again, you never knew...)
All of which came down to the fact that Hiro had the wheelchair and some amount of free reign, so he supposed it didn't make that much difference whether it was because the nurses liked Ginta, or because Hiro did.
"Anywhere in particular you want to go?" he asked, holding out an arm to help settle Ginta into the wheelchair, and trying not to wince at seeing him standing. "And don't say, 'home,' because that's unfortunately not in the cards." |
