Zevran was definitely awake now, clearly out of it but awake and, er, well sort of focusing and sort of was a good start! Taavi closed his folder and put it on the floor under his chair out of the way. Should he say something? Maybe, but maybe not yet.
Hospital. That word made sense but the rest of the fast flow of English washed over him without meaning. Hospital. Why? What had happened? He wasn't sure what his last memory was, memories were a jumbled blur. He blinked again, tried again to focus on the face... Two faces, two people were here.
Zevran swallowed, ran his tongue over his lips again and hazarded; "Abel?" His voice was hoarse, weak, and he sounded far from certain of what he had just said. Just in case it hadn't made sense he squeezed the hand holding his.

Feeling a little bit like an invader, but mostly glad he was here, Taavi folded his hands tightly in his lap and grinned.
...Well, Abel had definitely used words. The words had not made sense. The pressure on his hand made sense, and so did the kiss. Two out of three wasn't so bad?
Zevran gave Abel a puzzled half smile and mumbled something indistinct in Spanish, from the inflection it had possibly been a question.
Amigo, who had just woken up, gave an excited trill and fluttered over to land on the rail of the bed where Zevran could see him; Zevran turned his confused smile onto the Butterfree for a few moments but his gaze soon drifted back to Abel. Something was still bothering him; an itch in his mind but sharp, hot, raw. Quiet, small, but there.

What would he have done if Zevran hadn't made it -- if he never got to hold his hand again, to see that sweet smile of his or hear those words spoken lovingly again? He really didn't know, and that was an unsettling thought in a number of ways... like how he'd fallen so hard so fast for someone.
Not for the first time he was infinitely glad that he had though, and wouldn't change a thing even if he could do so. The blond returned both the hand squeeze and the warm smile, his other hand moving down a tad to cup Zevran's cheek. "So good to see you awake," Abel agreed without hesitation, his gaze never leaving his boyfriend's face. "Mmh, I dunno if any of them do or not, we could always ask someone. I dunno how long he'll be in Spanish mode for." Hopefully not too terribly long, but even if he was, that was just fine. At least he was awake and alert, even if they couldn't really understand many of each others' words.

"Yeah, hopefully not, but I agree; he's still coming to so it's probably best to let him keep waking up." Which felt odd to say since he was awake, he just... wasn't speaking English, and... he... "I think that's a curse," he mused aloud, at Zevran's query. The latter was a word he remembered Zev saying several times the last day or two before he'd been shot, and it had sounded like a swear those times. Right now it almost sounded kind of like 'what the hell' but he really couldn't be sure. He gave Zevran's hand another squeeze, this time to get his attention. "You shouldn't poke at those, sweetheart, you need those."

He almost felt as though he understood what Abel was saying, snatches of it, some words made sense while others did not. "No hablo ingles," he replied with a wry, tired smile; he didn't at the moment anyway, he knew he knew it but it was... Yes, it was outside the bubble. It was a bigger bubble now though, more things made sense. Abel was telling him that he was okay though, he was pretty sure of that. "Ah... bueno."
"He said he doesn't speak English," Taavi said with a frown as he grappled with his memory of highschool Spanish, he'd been alright at it before he'd dropped out. "And good? That's good. We'll all be on the same language page soon I'm sure! Or I could try to speak Finnish, that'd be fun. Heh, I'd butcher it though." He hadn't spoken more than a word of two since before he'd left home and he'd never exactly been properly fluent, much to his Mom's annoyance.
