He nodded and wiped his eyes again, "She's fine," he held both her hands in his, unsure of what to say.

Shira squeezed his hands gently." I'm alright except for a few burns." She touched his cheeks gently.

He blushed and looked away, "Sh-Shira... Please... Don't make me lose another friend," he said quietly, "I can't lose someone else..."

"Archur....I promise I won't die on you." Shira looked at him with her purple eyes.

He sniffled and nodded but said nothing. He gently brushed her cheek with his hand and then stood, "I'll see you later. All your Pokemon are right there," he pointed to the table by her bed.

Shira nodded." I'll get better soon. Don't worry about me, Archur."

He made a noise like a whimper but nodded and started to leave.

Shira watched him. She wanted to comfort him more but she didn't know how to.

Archur went back up to his room and sat down in front of Nicholai.
"Sh-Shira's okay..." he said with a painful smile then wrapped his arms around the swampert and held tight to him.

After a few hours, the nurse let Shira check out. She was okay but there was still a hint of a burn mark on her right arm. She had her pokeballs on her belt.

Archur's whole team was out of their pokeballs in the room, each now knowing of Rome's fate. The boy was laying against Forli, Venice in his lap and Anubis was sitting next to him. Nicholai was sitting by the window, looking out it.

Shira knocked on the door." Archur?" She opened it and saw the others. She looked down, knowing he had told them. She glanced at the burn mark on her arm, regretting when she left him earlier.

He smiled sadly at her and stood, setting the sleeping zorua in Anubis' lap, "Hey. You feeling better?"

Shira nodded." How are you doing?" She looked up at him. She was a little angry at herself for not being there when he told them.

"N-not..." he looked down, "Not too good," he suddenly hugged her, "I'm glad you got better so quickly..."

Shira blushed slightly but hugged him back." I didn't want to leave you alone for too long. I'm sorry I wasn't here when you told them."

"It's okay... It's not like it was your fault... You didn't have to be here," he assured her.

"I wanted to be to comfort you." She looked up at him." How did they take it?"

"Nicholai... He hasn't done anything except sit there since I told him," Archur whimpered a bit as he looked to his friend.

"He's probably trying to process what you told him." She looked at Nicholai." Give him some time to think."
