[12:07 PM] Z: =GEE BOSS, ANOTHER RP?=
[12:08 PM] ColdToiletSeat: =GOODNESS GRACIOUS, WHO WOULD'VE EXPECTED IT?=
[12:23 PM] Z: Pain.... A lot of it. It was all Auriel felt after her rather clumsy mistake. Kuro had ran away, the dumb animal.
Idiiiot... Almost got me killed.
The bowman had shot her in the stomach. It was a lucky chance that it didn't rupture any of her internal organs. It had still hurt her enough to be unable to move much after Kuro threw her off, nor heal anyone. All she was able to do was crawl to a position where she could sit up, supported by the wall. The blood loss made her vision hazy, and she struggled with staying conscious.
[1:23 PM] ColdToiletSeat: The tavern had been a hell-hole for just about everyone in it, the enemies included... But not for Kalenzo, the artist's breathing was quick and sporadic, his eyes darted around with veins of red starting to form in his whites as they looked for another person to make into perfection. Quite sadly, the battle was over, the enemies had been disposed of and it was time for the queen's group to recover and regain their strength.
To hell with that, I need more... I must make Einar proud... Kalenzo thought, jerking each and every one of his arrows from the Gallian carcasses in the building before finding himself outside. A grin slowly eased it's way onto the bowman's face as he took in a full breath of the night air, it was refreshing to finally smell something other than blood for once...
However, something had caught the man's eye, a certain sanguine trail that had lead to the wall of the tavern... and an ever-so-familiar maid being the source. This truly was a sight to behold and Kalenzo was unsure of how to react to it. There was a great deal of concern that arose from him, of course, but he couldn't help but chuckle at how the tables have turned.
"...Well then, what do we have here?" Kalenzo asked cheekily, slowly advancing towards Auriel.(edited)
[1:45 PM] Z: "So here you are. Heh... you are probably here to laugh at me while i die..." Her tail moved, covering the rather grisly wound that had formed around the point where the arrow had struck. The dark crimson red color that had eminated from the wound slowly spread to the fur on her tail, the bright brown color being replaced with the crimson red blood."Go ahead then... laugh." There was a hateful anger to her voice, not particularly common for her standards.(edited)
[5:17 PM] ColdToiletSeat: "Woah there..." Kalenzo tilted his head, raising his eyebrows alongside a concerned expression as he stared at the bleeding maid. The artist slung his bow over his shoulder before waving both of his hands dismissively. "No need to think like that, Miss Auriel. I am not here to harm you, please rest assured."
"But, what I am going to do is make sure you get out of this situation alive." He added, taking out a small bag that reeked of medicine before getting closer to Auriel and her wound. "Quite funny how this has happened eh? First to me, and now to you..."(edited)
[6:37 PM] Z: "Maybe."
The outright animosity dissapeared, replaced with a still agressive tone, but not outright hating. Her nose recoiled at the smell of the bag, and her dulled senses returned for a moment, before focusing the little strength she had on sitting upright.
"And..... you of all people come over to get me? This is some... joke or something...."
Her sentence was cut off by an abrupt cough
[7:35 PM] ColdToiletSeat: "Ohohoho, a joke?" He grinned, closing his eyes in what seemed like a fake smile towards the woman before kneeling down next to her. "I am quite sorry to inform you of this, but, this act in fact is not a joke."
"I do believe you have forgotten, so please allow me to ask, how can an artist such as myself be without a proper audience?" Kalenzo asked rhetorically, placing a hand with pointed fingers on his chest and sticking his chin up pompously. A few seconds passed before the bowman had broken into a grin once more, letting his head droop and make eye contact before he began to whisper.
"Oh, and who could forget all of the unfinished business we still have to attend to."(edited)
[10:26 AM] Z: "That..... Fine.."
Auriel timidly moved her tail away, exposing the bleeding rift in her stomach. She had managed to remove the arrow before everything became hazy, however the work was rather sloppy. She directed her attention to her tail, whom had gotten a crimson spot close to the tip.
Thats...... also going to be a pain to get away
[11:01 AM] ColdToiletSeat: "There we are..." Kalenzo smiled, giving a nod to the kitsune for her compliance. With that, he further examined the wound, it wasn't too deep, but it was still bleeding a tad. It wouldn't be much of a problem for the artist, all of the time he had spent with his mentor had taught him a thing or two about first-aid.
"I must apologize in advance for this..." Kalenzo spoke, a sorry look on his face as he made a small tear in the maid's outfit around the wound in order to get a better view of it.
Barely a moment later, he began wrapping his fingers with a clean piece of cloth, starting the process of meticulously wiping away the blood, his movements becoming a bit more tender when they had neared the wound itself.
[12:24 PM] Z: Auriel didn't bother reacting to Kalenzo cutting of parts of her outfit, as she would probably have to replace it anyway. When he started cleaning away the blood however, he brushed over a particularly sore spot and she whimpered in pain.
[1:07 PM] ColdToiletSeat: At the whimper, Kalenzo's hand recoiled and a brief "Sorry" escaped his lips. However, this didn't stop him from continuing to clean the wound not too long afterwards. Once the area had been fully cleaned, the artist opened up his emergency vulnerary and began applying the solution to the still open wound.
"Be warned, this is my own medicinal mixture. It's fairly potent, so if this stings more than it should, I do apologize."(edited)
[2:07 PM] Z: "Oka-AUGH"
Auriel's response was interrupted by a sharp yelp of pain, as the concoction touched the wound. "Fairly potent" was an understatement. She bit her teeth together, trying her best to not recoil away from the sting.
[2:55 PM] ColdToiletSeat: Tch, I should've expected that... Kalenzo thought, wincing before he continued to apply the rest of the medicine to the wound. He already said he was sorry, there wasn't anything else he could do aside from finish the job as quickly as he could.
The application of the salve ended fairly quickly after the initial usage and the proper bandaging was all that was left. With a relieved sigh, the bowman began to wrap the now-healing wound with what cloth he had left until it was a proper and uniform bandage.
"...And with that, you will be staying alive." Kalenzo reassured, giving Auriel a few pats on the shoulder. "Once again, I'm sorry that the concoction had to hurt like that, but it works fairly quickly, the pain won't last for too long."(edited)
[8:36 PM] Z: "Does.... not change the.... fact that it still hurts..."
Auriel whimpered as the pain lingered, but after the initial burst of stinging it slowed down, becoming a rather numb feeling instead. She took a deep breath, some of the haziness dissapearing already, replaced with simple exhaustion. She pushed herself up as far as she could, but found herself unable to get up properly with heels on.
Stupid. Why are they a part of this outfit anyway....
"Mind helping me.... up?"
[8:43 AM] ColdToiletSeat: "Oh, but of course..." Kalenzo answered, tossing aside his cleaning cloth and placing his hand beneath Auriel's back, lifting her up and onto her feet as she had asked him to.
Huh... she's... a bit lighter than I expected her to be and aside from all of the blood, she doesn't seem all that bad... The artist thought, standing there right next to the maid, his hand still around her side. He came to the quick realization of the position he was in and retracted his hand, a small bit of a pink tinging the man's face. No, don't sully your thoughts like that, Kalenzo you two are simply business partners nothing more and nothing less...
"I-I, uh... do you require any more assistance?"(edited)
[5:59 PM] Z: As Kalenzo lifted her back up on her feet, she still felt woozy and having Kalenzo supporting her was..... comforting. Although she thought that she maybe could stand on her own, she continued relying on him for support. Standing like this felt.... right in a way. As if that's how it was meant to be. No.... Nononononono... You are still light headed... You cant think straight Auriel... calm down..
Then he retracted his arm, and her support dissapeared. For the initial moments, it was hard for her to stay up, but she managed to get used to it. That still.....
"I.... Im fine.... Uhh.... Thanks Kalenzo.."
[1:00 PM] ColdToiletSeat: "It's uh, not a problem." Not a problem at all... Wait a minute, why isn't she using that silly nickname for me?
Normally, the artist would have taken a step back, but something had compelled him to stay near her, something he couldn't seem to put a finger on. It was nice, hearing his full name escape her lips it meant that she was being somewhat serious, the man began nervously scratching the back of his neck as he thought about what his next couple of words would mean. Kalenzo cleared his throat, bashfully looking away for a second before making his offer.
"Well, do you mind if I-uh, accompany you then?" He asked, raising his eyebrows as he began slightly fumbling over his words. "To a more proper place for rest- To let your wound heal of course."(edited)
[3:44 AM] Z: "Uhh..... Okay..."
Although she profusely denied it, deep inside she was happy that he offered to accompany her. She may have gotten a new profound respect for the artist, or maybe.... just maybe it was something else?
Nonononononononononono.... Strictly buisness.....
A blush spread across her face, and she felt the need to hide it, but instead she awkwardly smiled back at Kalenzo, showing her appreciation that way instead.
[8:50 PM] ColdToiletSeat: She appears to be smiling... and blushing. And I appear to be at a loss for words. Kalenzo thought, a genuine smile quickly starting to form a crack in his initial look of surprise.
There was a brief pause, the world seemed to slow down for the artist as the two morbid enthusiasts sat there and exchanged smiles. For him, it was certainly an alien feeling, genuinely enjoying another person's company like he was currently.
A brief shake to his head interrupted the moment followed by a light hearted chuckle not too long afterwards as the bowman snapped back into the world.
"I... do believe we should get going then?"(edited)
[9:20 AM] Z: "Yes...... We should.."
He smiles as well..... So uh...... What has this come to now...
She took a few trying steps forward, testing her balance. It seemed to be okay, at least for now. She stepped out, and the fresh air was a great feeling. Now, she should probably have gone to reunite with the others..... but for now, she'd rather be with Kalenzo... just a little longer
[1:43 PM] ColdToiletSeat: "Wonderful..."
A grin plastered the artist's visage, for some reason he felt giddy as he followed Auriel, quite contrary to all of their experiences before. Walking along, there was a strange eagerness in the man's step, he took another deep breath and let the cool air of the night refresh him. Something seemed off with his thoughts today... but he realized that might have been for the best.
[1:44 PM] ColdToiletSeat: =====End RP=====
