"Yep, I do. A cat named Leo. He's probably off wandering the palace grounds right now. I left him some food before I left." The bowl was empty now. Yoshinobu flipped on the light to the shed. "Maybe he'll show up before lo-"
The light bulb began to flicker inside the shed, flashing on and off in a series of lightning quick successions. Yoshinobu covered his eyes for a moment and stumbled backwards into the large tool box, his helmet scattering off to the side in the dirt as the old bulb buzzed out. A loud crashing sound followed as he fell into the earth and brought the box with him, trying to keep himself upright. His body began to convulse, struggling for breath that would not come, jerking uncontrollably.

"YOSHINOBU!" Hinata ran over to him and knelt down to look him over, panicking. What in jigoku had caused that!? She struggled and tried to run through all of what she had learned in first aid class. It was obviously a seizure, everyone knew about those, but how was one supposed to treat that? "I'm right here, okay!? I'm right here!" Damnit, what did you do about this? Think, Hinata, think! (( Medicine 19 )) |

Hinata knew to basically leave him alone until the seizure ended and roll him over onto his side so he could breathe. Cushion his head so he didn't hit it against anything. Luckily, this seizure only lasted for thirty seconds or so. Yoshinobu was struggling to breathe, but with her knowledge if she was calm she was able to help him through it.
As he inhaled and exhaled when he finally regained control of his respiratory system, he put his hand on Hinata's. The Prince's eyes began to tear up a little as he looked at her.
"I'm... sorry Hinata-chan... sorry..."

Hinata managed to keep her cool enough to help him through the seizure, but once it was over she gasped, and hugged him tightly, crying.
"Don't be sorry, you idiot! You didn't do anything wrong, you can't help it."
She sniffled.
"Are you okay? Nothing hit you too hard, did it?"

It took Yoshinobu a moment, but he hugged Hinata back, albeit somewhat weakly. He was still a little hazy and woozy.
"Please, don't cry. I didn't want you to ever see me like that if I could have helped it..." In spite of the seizure, he tried to remain jesting to calm her down. "Nothing wounded but my pride. Well, I guess now you know why I couldn't go watch anime. I've had those since I was a kid..."

Hinata sniffled again, and broke off the hug, leaving both hands on his shoulders.
"It's okay...you don't need to be ashamed. I don't love you any less, okay? I was just worried is all. I'm just glad you're alright."
She rubbed his shoulders gently, trying to soothe him.
"I'm sorry...that can't be easy to live with..."

"It's easier when I remember to avoid the triggers. Stress, flashing lights, certain smells and foods." Yoshinobu wiped some sweat from his forehead as Hinata rubbed his shoulders. "... or to take my medicine."
Yeah, he'd forgotten this afternoon. Maybe in all of the excitement. The Prince stood up to his feet again, stumbling a little but able to keep his balance. He unscrewed the burned out light bulb and tossed it in a nearby garbage can. "I'm kinda helpless on my own without someone to take care of me, huh?" he laughed in a self deprecating manner.

Hinata sighed and stood up as well.
"You should take better care of yourself, one of these days someone might not be here to help you!" she snapped
She paused, then put a hand on his shoulder again, her expression concerned.
"...I'm sorry, I didn't mean to snap, it's just...I don't want something bad to happen to you, okay?"

"Yeah, I know. It's my fault for forgetting," Yoshinobu said, smiling at Hinata earnestly. At least he had her, if no one else. "It won't happen again."
He paused, taking her hand from his shoulder and holding it again. "Some cold tea sounds good now after that. You want some?"

Hinata nodded.
"Of course. I think we both need something to drink after that."
She took a deep breath out, starting to relax again.
"So...wanna tell me about your cat on the way there?" she asked, trying to change the subject.
