Emerald wonders if they could just go up and ask to see him. They can just say that the cook is their friend.
 
“Hmm… You know, you guys might be able to. They aren’t going to be too suspicious if ponies approach considering where he worked and his wife.” Nishan says, looking down at the pair.
 
“Plus who can say no to such cute little foals?” Loupe says with a giggle, rubbing both their heads.
 
Ruby and Emerald roll their eyes, nod, and then approach the guards,
 
“Um… Can we go in and see him? He’s our friend, and we want to make sure he is okay.” Ruby says, trying her best to look cute and flutter her eyelashes.
 
“Hmm…” One of the Zebra Guard says, scratching his head, “I don’t know…”
 
Emerald asks the guard if they can do it ‘pwetty pwease?’ He also flutters his eyelashes slowly and gives the best puppy dog eyes he can.
 
“Aww… Well… Jeez…” The zebra guard says, Emerald’s cuteness winning him over, “Let me see if he wants visitors. We’ll need your name and contact information at the very least.”
 
Emerald and Ruby give the guards fake names and they are let inside after asking the Cook and a nearby passing nurse if it’d be okay.
 
“Only ten minutes. He is in a lot of pain. He needs his rest, alright?” The nurse says with a smile.
 
Emerald and Ruby walk up to the bed. He’s a bit of a wreck to say the least. The first thing they notice is the nearly full forehoof cast closest to him. However that doesn’t appear to be the only cast he has. It’s clear by the awkwardly straight bulges raised off his body that much of his torso and both his back legs are set. He also has a neck brace, and top of his head is wrapped entirely in bandages.
 
The Cook can’t turn his head to look at them with the cast, but they see one eye turn towards them, and he says a bit quiet and raspily,
 
“Oh, you are the kids from the other night. What are you guys doing here?”
