The morning after Mandy claimed another victim in her no DQ match against Rylie Marshall, Oscar had gotten wind of the Rascal's current state from Katrina- along with the fact she had stayed up all night watching her friend's progress. With a request to come on down with Mandy to help keep the young lioness in good spirits while she gets some proper rest, Oscar didn't hesitate to accept. Packing up a Nintendo switch and a spare set of controllers, Oscar would hop into his car with the Celtic lioness and head right for the hospital. For almost the entire trip, Oscar was not his usual chatty or happy self. Rather, the Barbarian Prince was dead quiet- lost in his own thoughts as he navigated Japan's streets to get to the hospital. It wouldn't take a detective to tell that his quiet humming to himself and how he tapped the steering wheel at a quick pace with his finger meant he was worried for the ladies.
Soon, Oscar pulled into the hospital parking lot and would hop out taking a second to make sure he had everything on him and that Moria was able to get out of the car ok- or to ask him any questions.

The two rode in silence. Moira attempted to break the ice. ”So… I had Japanese curry for the first time. Went to a little cafe like Cafe Leblanc in Persona 5. Love that game. It was really good. Surprisingly sweet. Have YOU played Persona 5 or tried the curry here…?” she asked awkwardly as they got out and walked to the hospital.

"... I've seen videos of it, but the Persona games don't really seem like my kind of game what with the constant time limits and all'
Oscar spoke bluntly with a very monotone voice as he went to head into the hospital with Moria. His first place to go to was the receptionist. After all- they still need to sign in as visitors.
As Oscar and Moira sign in, with the waiting area being close by, there was the sound of a sick kid coughing that's coughing suddenly stopped, looking over the kid couldn't have been more then 7 or 8 years old and even with a mask on, it was clear to tell their jaw was dropped as they pointed towards Oscar and Moira's direction like he recognized them from t.v. and was in awe as the sign-in went smoothly. Katrina already informed Oscar ahead of time what room they were in so he already had all the information he needed to fill out.
Meanwhile, in Rylie's room, she was lucky enough to get her own room to her self. She opted not to wear the patient gown as she was resting in the hospital bed with a pair of shorts, and a loose t-shirt in which one shoulder was exposed on one side and the shirt was short enough to show her midriff, which was covered with a special cooling pad as wrapping up injured ribs is no longer a thing. She no longer had her face paint on, but was still wearing her racoon ears and tail as the tail was peeking out from the covers of the bed that were resting up to her waist.
Katrina was kind of sitting on the bed with her as Katrina wore a light blue tube top dress with some sneakers. She looked tired and did her best to hide the tear streaks on her face as the side of her face was resting against Rylie's, who was looking groggy as Katrina's arm was hooked around behind Rylie to slowly run her hand through Rylie's hair as if soothing her by petting her. Her other hand was holding up a tablet in front of her as they were actually watching the taping of the end of the April Starling vs Moira Kilgannon fight. "Oooo, that's a tight looking hug Moira has there." She mentioned as Katrina gave a tired giggle and nodded. "Oh yeah, I wouldn't be surprised if that gets Moira the access to the gym she was looking for." Riley then questioned. "Do you think I will have to do that?" to which Katrina shook her head no. "Nah, with your living arrangements and all, I would think you already have full access, I can double check with her later though. Speaking of Moira, are you looking forward to her and Oscar coming to visit? They should be here any moment." To which Riley nodded her head. "I'm not sure why they would want to come hang out with me when they don't even know me, but yeah, as much as you gush about them, I look forward to seeing them."
Oscar would take a moment to pause and glance at the little kid who was coughing up a storm, giving him a little smile and a wave before heading to Rylie's room. As much as he tried to prepare himself for the sight of what was to be another victim of Mandy's, he didn't actually know what hit him harder... Rylie's bedridden state or how utterly exhausted Katrina appeared.
"H-hey, ladies..."
Oscar would give a small wave as he peeked into the room, not wanting to startle anybody too bad.
While Moira felt that Persona 5's honor had to be defended, now wasn't the time. She placed a hand on Oscar's shoulder. "Hey, she'll be alright. They both will. I guarantee you Rylie has been through worse scrapes than this if she was living on the streets. We'll relieve Katrina and take care of her. It's the best we can do." They walked into the lobby where Moira was also the recipient of many stares seeing as she was a tall redhead in Japan. Moira smiled at the kid, but he clearly recognized Oscar and not her. "Just you wait, kiddo. You'll be recognizing me before too long," she thought to herself. The two awkwardly peaked into Rylie's room and were saddened to see everyone in low spirits. "Heeeey everyone. I brought sweets... and dumplings..." Moira said awkwardly.
Both ladies looked up at the same time at hearing someone at the door. Rylie grinned from ear to ear as her tail came to life, swaying up and down on the she gently nudged Kat on the side with her elbow, doing her best to hide wincing a little bit from the discomfort of her movement. "Is that Prince Charming? Is that your Prince Charming?" Kat smiled at Oscar as she gently removed her arm from Rylie as she rose up from sharing the bed with Rylie, walking over and giving Oscar a hug as she rested the side of her face against his chest, holding onto his neck for a little bit. "Mmm hmm, this is my Oscar, trademarked, copyrighted, all that." She managed to joke a little as she then pulled away "and this is Moira." She mentioned motioning at the person that followed in last as Rylie raised a hand in the air for a friendly wave. "Oh yeah, I heard I really need to have a drinking contest with you sometime. Hey dudes, welcome to my health jail. Katrina smuggled in a tablet to keep me pre-occupied, we were just watching your recent match against April here in which." She then glanced back down hearing the bell ring. "Yep, you just got her to submit and got access to her gym. Awesome work." She complimented Moira.

Oscar looked over at Moria as she placed a hand on his shoulder, giving a small smile in appreciation as he nodded his head at the Celtic Hammer. Turning his attention to Rylie as she spoke up, a faint blush appeared on Oscar's cheeks as he chuckled at the Rascal.
"Prince Charming? That's a new one... but yes. That's me. A pleasure to meet you, Rylie. Katrina told me quite a bit about you. Oh- and speaking of..."
Oscar would look over as Katrina came around and pulled her into a hug- with the young lion keeping one arm around her body and using his free hand to hold the back of the ninja's head as she rested on his chest. She might be able to hear his heartbeat as he held her close, noticing the tear stains on her face as he leaned his head down to kiss her head and whisper quietly.
"I'm so proud of you for what you did for Rylie... that's another reason why I love you"
He managed to smile more as Katrina pulled away, hearing Rylie's phone give off the bell sound.
"Wait- I missed Moria's match with April? Aw man... still, congrats! You deserve it"
Oscar would give a thumbs up to his fellow Lioness.
Awww thank ye Oscar! It was a great match and April a worthy opponent. I’m just glad my bearhug finally worked on someone! And a good person for it to work on at that,” she beamed at her not-so-subtle crush and then awkwardly shuffled when she realized it.
She walked over to Rylie and extended her hand. Oi nice to meet you! I’m Moira. I hear you’re a hell of a gamer. We brought you somethiiiiing…” she motioned to Oscar to reveal the goods.
Katrina looked up at Oscar in response to him being proud of her. She just simply gave a nod of her head to him before glancing back over at Rylie and whispering back to him. "How much more damage would Mandy have done if I didn't show up?" She said with some concern before listening to Oscar congratulate Moira and paid attention to Moira's gushing shuffle which actually brought a smile to her face as she then shook her head as if snapping out of it. "Oh! I am so sorry Moira, I just introduced you and didn't bother to greet you with a hug. I apologize, I stayed up watching Riley sleep. I'm just out of it right now." She mentioned as she walked over to give Moira a hug before pulling away to let her talk to Riley.
When Moira extended her hand out to Rylie, Rylie grinned as she reached out to greet her with a forearm clasp wincing slightly at the motion, at stretching her arm out, but didn't mind it. "I wish I could get one of these hugs from you, but my ribs are a little messed up right now, but, hell yeah, it's nice to meet you too." she responded and then blinked in surprise and blushed slightly as Moira mentioned they had something for her. "Well I made a home outside of a gaming store, I'm not necessarily a hell of a gamer though, but I enjoy playing some games when I get the chance." She then noticed Moira look to Oscar as she turned her head towards him, biting her lip with curiosity, wondering what Oscar had in surprise for her.
