Despite being released from the hospital, Yuri still had a lot of healing and recovering to do. He was still weak, only able to exert so much energy before he had to rest. He had a long road ahead of him if he was to regain his full strength again. Thus he was scheduled for therapy appointments and told that he needed to exercise but lightly at first and to increase slowly as he started getting stronger.
It was frustrating to say the least, but Yuri had been faced with his own mortality and thus took it at least somewhat seriously.
Flynn was out of town, having traveled back to Grande Ile till after the holiday, while Dove had insisted... begged really, to stay at her place. He had argued feebly, but eventually gave in. It would be awkward if he hadn't stayed there before, but he made himself at home.
Currently he was resting, sprawled out on her sofa with an arm draped over his face. He felt like crap, but that was kinda the norm lately.
Repede was sleeping on a rug nearby, and Astal was stretched out in front of the sofa Yuri was on. Yuri had been quite amazed by Astal's evolution to a Vaporeon, and that he'd done it to save him.

Dove had felt no hesitation in asking him to stay with her in her apartment for the time being. With Flynn gone home and Yuri's state, she couldn't bring herself to allow Yuri to stay on his own with no support. He was weak, and though obviously stubborn about it, she knew he wouldn't be able to do much on his own, let alone do it with ease.
Besides. It was holiday season, and given how little she expected him to be able to get out and about, no one deserved to be alone. Thus, she had insisted he stay, if only for a few weeks, until he was able to get about more readily.
While he rested on the couch, the woman busied herself by decorating her apartment with garlands and lights, glad for the fire burning in her fireplace and the warmth of the room. It had gotten much colder in the past few days, to the point of snowing here and there, and as much as she hated the cold, she was determined to enjoy the time she could in her home with her friend.
Quieter than usual, perhaps because of the low energy in the room or because of all the things on her mind, but attempting to keep their spirits light, she finished fluffing a branch of her Christmas tree, then turned to look at the man resting on the couch, her brows knitting into an expression of concern. "Hey, you okay? What do you need?" she asked, stepping around to move a box of baubles from the table at the end of the couch as she leaned against it. She had promised herself she would help him in any way she could, and had possibly become a little too overbearing with her intentions.
Lovey sat close to Repede's rug, cuddling her kit. A white Espeon lay curled in a chair, and a togetic hopped about, trying to be helpful to the woman by handing her ball after decorative ball, one at a time until she decided to check on the man human. Satin sat next to the recently erected tree, watching the scene with sharp eyes, still unsure about Yuri and his pokemon. Trill floated throughout the room, entranced by all the shiny ornaments around the apartment.

Dove's face remained pink, and she watched Tobi, reaching down quickly to rescue the falling orb. Content with Yuri's smile, the togetic wiggled and bounced, then flew over to another box, letting itself fall down into the tinsel inside of it, emerging a few moments later completely covered in the glimmering silver stuff.
When Astal flipped his tail into Yuri's face, Dove gasped. "Astal!" Yuri seemed to handle it fine, though, and she only gave him a scolding frown.
Satin, from the corner, smirked and laughed quietly at the vaporeon's action, calming only as her trainer turned to offer her the same look. Lovey, unamused, looked up at the water type. she sighed.

Lovey frowned, then shook her head, reaching out with a paw to keep Diana closer to her, as the little eevee still seemed to be fascinated with Astal's new form.
Dove laughed at Tobi as he reappeared, then stood again to go untangle his small wings from the fluff. "If you want to... I thought I might start dinner in a little bit, once the tree is finished..." She certainly didn't want to pressure him into helping her, but given how inactive he was being forced to be, she figured decorating, at least, wouldn't be too strenuous. She had also begun to catch onto how offensive she might have been toward him... he wasn't a complete invalid, even if he was still weaker than she would have liked.

Dove watched him rise, then continued to untangle Tobi from the tinsel, setting him on the loveseat once he was free and looking to Yuri. "Oh... I actually don't, but I've got to go pick up a few things before I can cook tonight, anyway. I can get some then," she promised, mentally chiding herself for not thinking to pick any up.
Lovey sighed, displeased with Astal's behavior, but unwilling to counter it for the moment. Instead, she settled between him and her kit, glancing over at Repede, noting his disinterest in the entire thing.
Satin settled where she sat, laying flat along the hardwood and crossing her paws delicately as she looked to the vaporeon. she asked, smiling wickedly.
