Miko awoke a short time later to the sound of his own groaning. He struggled to open his eyes when he heard motion beside him. Through the fog of a possible concussion, he could make out the vague form of a man with dark hair leaning over him.

“Oi! Ink-for-brains!” The Irishman called as he shook Miko’s shoulder. “Time to rise and shine, bud,” he urged. When Miko failed to respond, the man turned away and addressed someone else. “Ya know, the halls were never so littered with unconscious people in need of rousing during my Guardianship,” he teased before lowering his voice. “D’ya think he’ll live?” He whispered worriedly.

“He’ll be just fine,” the familiar voice of a Scotsman assured.

“Yeah?” The Irishman asked hopefully. “Oh good,” he breathed in relief. “Hey – did ya hear tha, bud?” He asked, leaning over Miko again and pulling one of his eyelids open. “You’re gonna live! It’s a bloody miracle! Now wake your ugly ass up, ya dosser.”

The Scotsman laughed at that, but said nothing.

“Man do I nah miss being mortal,” the Irishman mused as he sat back on his heels. “Such a fragile way to be, don’t ya think? Ya never know what they’ll survive. I can nah even brawl at the pubs for fear I’ll break one of them.”

“Well, do nah worry for this one. He’s taken harder hits from me than he did from tha wall,” the Scotsman assured before leaning over Miko and slapping his cheek repeatedly. “Come on, Lance. Wake up. Nap time’s over.”

“Tar?” Miko asked groggily as he tried to focus on him.

“Aye,” Taran laughed. “Least ya’ve nah lost your memory. Here, sit up,” he said as he leaned him against the wall. “How are ya feeling?”

“Like I just got run over by a quarter ton of Angus beef,” Miko whined.

The Irishman burst out laughing. “Perhaps a diet is in order, brother!” He teased before grinning over at Miko. “Ya know what? I like this one. He’s got fire. D’ya mind if I bite him?” He asked Taran hopefully.

Miko’s eyes snapped open in horror.

The Irishman crouching beside him only laughed harder. “Just playing, bud – but hey, it woke ya up, yeah?” He asked as he smacked Miko’s shoulder playfully.

Miko eyed him suspiciously until Taran drew his attention.

“I’m sorry to tell ya this, but I do nah think your computer has survived,” he said, dragging the case over and shaking it. He smirked at the sound of pieces rattling inside. “Ya did hit tha wall pretty hard.”

“Son of a... !” Miko wailed before grabbing the case, clutching it to his chest protectively, and glaring up at Taran. “What is it with you guys and destroying my stuff?”

“Someone else tossed ya against a wall today then, did they, bud?” The Irishman asked in amusement.

“No,” Miko answered glumly. He whimpered as he unzipped the case and watched half of the computer’s screen fall out. “Someone knocked my laptop on the floor, tried to pummel me, but got himself embedded in a wall by Skye for it.
