Mia didn't even know why she said it herself. It just...slipped out, and she knew it was nothing to respond to she just felt a need to get it out. Even while she was so far out of it she'd had people telling her it'd be fine and trying to reassure her but...this was better. What Nik gave her was so much better. This wasn't okay and it wasn't going to be okay and he knew...he wasn't just saying it, he wasn't lying to make her feel better, he knew it like she did even now. It made her cry a little harder but more in a sense of catharsis than despair, a smile on her lips and laugh sobbing as he started to, clinging lightly to his clothes.
"It won't..." She took a long shaky breath, trying to steel herself up a bit when a joke occurred, chuckling for a short moment before forcing it out to try and lighten the air between them. "I-I'll...I'll make sure the new hand is extra soft for ya...hahahaha...!~"

He wondered briefly what she was laughing at, but as that joke came out, Nik's own brain took a few seconds to put an image to it before he lunged forward laughing. He tried to hold it in, but the effort lasted less than half a second before it came out hard, and he flinched a bit as he realized that probably jostled Mia a bit hard. "S-sorry," he sputtered.
He sat up a bit, half covering his mouth with a hand as his giggles continued. "Mia. Mia I just. Fucking imagined you with like a big jello arm flopping around." He attempted to flail one arm about and made some bwwlwlblww noises in an effort to emulate it. "Or!! Or like a tubeman arm!" What was wrong with him jumping from death immediately to this?? Oh well.

SNRRRRK! Okay at least Nik could resist, after a brief moment of confusion, Mia was laughing her head off with the explanation, throwing her head back and thankfully not banging it against the headboard, laughing loud enough for it likely to bring some confusion to a neighbouring room before she curled over and rested her fist against her mouth as she tried to calm down, only giggling harder at his impression and second suggestion, barely wiggling her own arm to imitate it herself.
"Oh oh maybe I can get like, a selection! Normal days big strong metal arm! Party days its a rainbow slinky to wave about!~"

Nik... felt so bad for laughing this hard, but he still was, and couldn't stop himself if he wanted to. He was just... so in love with this girl and how well their sense of humor meshed; he couldn't help but be drawn in by her jokes and egg her on with his own.
"Oh God no but-- Okay actually hang on I got this." He pulled back and shifted in his chair enough to pull out Lucy's PokeBall, and the Gardevoir-- panicked a little as he was sent out. O-oh no!? Mia's arm!! Oh no oh dear?? Wh--why were they both giggling? "Luce, hey. I'll.. I'll give everyone the rundown later but I need you to do me a favor man." He'd grabbed his phone right after the ball and pulled up an image to show only to Lucy. "Can you run down to the lobby and port around to find one? If all my stuff wasn't in boxes I'd say check my stim stuff but I think they've got 'em at the.. You know the store?" He didn't wanna give anything away, but thankfully Lucy nodded and headed out and down to the lobby where he could teleport.
Nik turned back to Mia with a grin. "Sorry this is gonna take a minute, but it'll be worth it I promise."

Mia was snickering and giggling at the image of herself with a slinky for an arm, ranging from some weird fever-dream-esque mental picture of her springing down the stairs like one, to the idea of her losing arm wrestles with the thing. Heck she just got the image of her somehow WINNING an arm wrestle with a slinky arm and that was even funnier. Lucy's presence registered enough for her giggles to take a light break, but what didn't register was the sudden look of worry, though, that hadn't really registered from even her own family until now, and Mia had somehow managed to register that more as anger and disappointment than the sheer worry that was actually there...
Mark's frustration with her jokes likely was a factor in that.
As Nik sent Lucy away, Mia let her giggles die down, quirking an eyebrow that was enough of a question in itself, pointing her bandaged stump across her chest, still chuckling a little as her body calmed down. "Dude I swear if you bring back some weird sex thing to stick to my arm I'm gonna show you what level of ass kicking this thing can still perform..."
With another slow breath as she calmed down, still a few chuckles in her system and ready to laugh again whenever Lucy got back, for a moment she just reached over and lightly squeezed one of Nik's hands.
"Thanks."

FFFFFFFFFFfffffffff. "Shit that would've been so much better," Nik half joked. Halfway leaning toward the door, he raised a hand to half-assed 'reach'. "Lucy wait come baaack," he weakly called, but as Mia's hand grabbed his, he settled down and returned his attention to her.
"Of course." He nodded, then leaned in to kiss her head and stroke her cheek. "I'd do damn near anything for you, babe. Just say the word." He tilted her head enough to be able to nuzzle his nose against hers, hoping his forehead on hers wasn't bothering her.
Meanwhile, Lucy had just found what he was looking for at a local store, grabbed it, and--... nearly teleported off before remembering that was stealing. Oh and he didn't bring money. ...ah. Back on the shelf then, and a quick port to Nik's room and back to grab a bit out of the emergency cash roll. Yes good much better.

She wasn't entirely okay, she wouldn't be for a long while, but just for now it was easy enough for Mia to forget her worries, just lean into her boyfriend, and let out a content sigh as she let herself forget her issues for a moment, chuckling a little at Nik's statement that he'd do anything for her, just coming up with random, stupid suggestions, like asking him to touch his nose with his tongue or something. Though
"Can you just...get me a cup of water or something while we wait for Lucy...t-think all those tears dehydrated me..."

Ehehe. "Course babe," he breathed out, stealing a quick peck before pushing himself up. He started just to head to the sink, but then spun around and gave a surprisingly sweeping and elegant bow. "Your wish is my command, milady~" He then broke this image by briefly sticking his touch out at her before heading off to fetch that glass of water.
Upon returning, he went to hand it to her only to realize her wrist was still tied down. She could probably drink it but it would require some awkward tilting and leaning, so instead he held it up for her, some part of him just counting down the seconds until one of them slipped and this went everywhere but oh well.

Hehehhe. Of course he'd do something like that. "You dork...~" Her tone was at least more affectionate than teasing, shaking her head and resting back for a moment. As Nik came back the cuff briefly registered to her too, wondering how long they'd keep her tied down...she was tempted to just ask Nik to find a nurse to untie her but...this WAS her home town, and as much as they loved her, they proooobably didn't trust her to sit still even while she was sedated. She was about to take the cup anyway as Nik put it to her lips, rolling her eyes before she started to sip, just trying to go slow so Nik didn't over-tip the cup or anything, managing to tip it back against him with her chin as she took as much as she could handle right now, coughing a little just as she realized how dry her throat actually was.
"Thanks...heh...dunno why you're so devoted to me like this but..." She casually shrugged, not finding the energy to make a big deal of it. "I really appreciate it, even if I only half think i deserve it.~"

Nik was vaguely impressed that worked out okay, but as Mia's comment came he balked indignantly. He set the cup down on her bedside table, then placed both hands on her shoulders and leaned down to look her in the eye. "Mia. You are the most radiant beacon of sunlight on my otherwise dreary existence. I've been able to rely on my pills less because just being around you makes me high on life. You--"His romantic spiel would be cut short by a small knock on the door, and he turned to see Lucy's face in the window. "Oh fuck yes." His gears shifted instantly as he hurried to let him in. "Mia close your eyes!" He'd make sure she actually did so before opening the door and taking-- Oh Lucy had a whole bag? Okay... Well they'd deal with that later. Right now he had the one thing he'd actually asked for and headed back to Mia, to her right side. "Okay so. Our earlier ideas like the slinky and the tubeman, they're great but have the fatal flaw that you can't GRAB anything, yeah? SO." She'd feel something going on with her arm if she had any feeling in it right now. "I present to you, the grand solution!! You can open your eyes now."When she did, she'd find a sticky hand tied around her cast, dangling.

With Nik's spiel Mia's cheeks turned a faint shade of red, not as deep as they could have been but just enough to show some mild embaressment even if she accepted most of what he was saying, sighing and shaking her head, almost glad for Lucy's interuption for a change, the ego boost she was getting just embaressing enough in her current state for her to enjoy it coming to an end.
"Close my-Nik I told you if this is some-" She stopped herself with a heavy breath, closing her eyes and shifting as Nik needed her to. As she opened her eyes again, looking to her stump, she burst out giggling, nearly banging her head back against the headboard. "Oh god! Perfect just...just perfect..."
Her memory was hitting some weird buttons as she vaguely recalled something similar to this. The color blue seemed to help to. "Ah what was that thing...it was from a cartoon show i loved as a kid...OH OH!"
She flung her bicep out, the sticky arm springing out as she did. "Third arm sash!"
Then it snapped back against her arm and she hissed through her teeth . Her stump wasn't in a heavy cast, just some heavy bandages, so the recoil on the sticky toy was not pleasant. "Ah fuck...!"

Nik would have straight up spit on her for how hard he snort-sputter-laughed at her backfire if he hadn't clapped a hand over his mouth. The effort was beautiful and she'd been exactly as amused as he hoped she'd be but dear God that unexpected backlash.
It didn't take long for him to settle, the outburst more one explosive reaction than a full giggle fit, but his shoulders did still shake a bit with silent laughter as he commented. "Looks like you need more practice to master this Shen Gong Wu, huh?"
Lest she get her hopes up or if he was wrong he noted, "I only saw like. A few disjointed episodes of Xiaolin Showdown but I'm like 90% sure that's what you were doing, yah?"

Despite the throbbing pain pulsing up her stump arm, Mia was still managing to chuckle through it, the laughs clearly mixed with a twinge of pain but she was managing to control it somewhat, hand lifting again to try and grip her bicep, but of course was stopped like usual, this time tugging a little at the cuff in frustration...but forcing herself to take a breath and calm down. The meds were already starting to counter the stinging sensation anyway, and she didn't wanna get mad now of all times.
"Heh...It was a damn good show...I should try and get you to marathon it with me sometime..." Leaning over she'd give Nik a light kiss on the cheek before pulling back and rolling her shoulder as the pain eased up, breath still a little slower as the pain dulled out. "Maybe the next time you visit...hey!~" Suddenly her tone seemed a little lighter, a bright smile on her face. Despite it being, in part, why she was back doing her 'fight club' stuff, right now she felt oddly cheery as she asked. "You and Orion find a place?~"

"Hehe, we might have to," he agreed. He did wonder if it'd be one of those things that held up or even got better as an adult or if it'd be an 'I swear this was good when I was a kid' thing but they could always stop or wind up enjoy it ironically, yeah?
When she asked about the house, he was briefly surprised, but then perked up. "Ah! Yeah actually! Or I think so. We're working on haggling the price and getting a downpayment together but we picked one out and it's looking pretty good so far." Fingers crossed, they'd keep going well. "We actually settled on Pahala and I'm not sure why it wasn't high on the list to start with, heh. But it's kind of built in a way that separates it from nature and feels really busy like Sinclair, but it's open and near the water like he loves, and it's just.. really nice? I'm really excited." He grinned bright. "Once you get out of here I'll have to show it to you."

Riding the high tone she'd started with, Mia sat up a little straighter as she listened to Nik describe where they were going to be living...Pahalla huh? Bit of a journey for someone who didn't have a teleporter but...eh. Nik had sort of proven for the most part if he could teleport somewhere rather than...anything else, he definitely would. She was pretty sure he'd teleport between the couch and the kitchen given the chance. Still, maybe it'd be a good idea to get her Gallade to learn teleport just for the journey...nah. She'd be fine. She couldn't really see herself visiting as much anyway. She didn't feel like it was spiteful but...well she wasn't exactly Orion's 'friend' so the idea of stepping into 'his' home gave an uncomfortable sensation.
"Well it certainly sounds great...though being so close to the vast, open ocean didn't seem like the sorta thing I'd have seen you going for...but I also never really did understand your phobia all that well." That was more a fact than anything else, she genuinely just didn't have the nuances of it down in her head, like what did or did not set him off specifically when it came to open spaces. "I'll be sure to let you gimme the grand tour but...well..." She lifted her stump arm with a faint smirk. "Something tells me I won't be driving my motorbike down to Pahalla any time soon. Don't think one armed motorbikes are even a thing..." She chuckled a little heavier before throwing her head back. "Only rode one of 'em anyway but somehow my bikes seem even more pointless."
She briefly looked around the room, shaking off the bad thoughts before looking down to her wrist. "Er...I don't really know how this usually works but think we can convince them to strap me to a wheelchair instead? I'm starving..."
