He was only even there still to show the best support he could for Zosa, though a mere hand was hardly much of a support. His ears dropped as he winced with each scream from Zosa. He kept cursing as his inability to do anything, he trained as a druid for the sole purpose to help those who needed it be it in combat or through healing.. and here the most important person in the world to him was crying out in pain and there was nothing he could do.

the woman known as nanna scraped out the rot and decay from his arm, in all her years she had only done this once though everything about it was so familier it hurt. an assistant packed a compress of witch-hazel to stop the blood when she finally cut enough away for it to wash the wound, the youth now had a gouge the size of two fingers in the crooked shape of a moon in wane, it was a nasty thing but clean, she took the compress and lightly bushed it over the wound. tightly she wrapped it with expert fingers, by now the boy had passed out from the exertion, she felt sorry for him, this unfortunate child, but she could do nothing else to ease his pain. she looked at the other boy, a child really, and said nothing. he wondered if he was strong enough to carry his brother. she did not think to hard on the matter

[Rosekitten]

After it was all over his stomach was still in knots and his head spun a little . He didn't really want to watch the whole process but he couldn't manage to get Zosa's grip to loosen until after he had finally passed out and even then it was prying his hand from his. When everything was settled down a little he sighed heavily but stayed by his side none the less. He hoped this was worth it.. to go through such an amount of pain, he never wanted to see that again but he knew very well he might..

He needed to get over any doubts he had of Zosa dying.. if he did die then Thalion would follow him just like the vows stated. But he wasn't going to let it happen. They were both still young, there was too much life left to give up now.

he woke up some time later, his talios asleep nearby, his arm throbbed but he was not dead and noone was trying to fix that. he looked over at the other. he felt so bad that this had to happen, if only he had not gotten so close, if only he did not let the wyvren see him. though he knew it could have just as easily been his brother lying on this bed. tears welled in his eyes

[Rosekitten]

He heard a slight bit of movement as he opened his eyes and looked towards the bed seeing that Zosa had opened his eyes. He stood instantly as he moved back over towards the bed. It was easy to tell he was worried, hell why shouldn't he be, his head was all over the place though he knew he had to be the strong one. He had always been there for Zosa and he needed to keep being there for him.

He laughed slightly before speaking, he couldn't think of anything better to say and he didn't want to really cause Zosa to worry further with what was really on his mind. "Heh you look like hell.." He was sure his arm was in pain, hell he nearly thought he could feel it as he watched the process.

[littl3chocobo]

"still prettier than you" he forced a chuckle. his talios looked like shit and he knew it was his own fault

[Rosekitten]

He thought about that comment for a moment before agreeing. "probably true, though I don't try to look 'pretty'.. I don't think youd know what to do if I bothered to clean up a bit" He smiled a little, it was nice to know he still could pick fun at him, though he was sure he looked like hell, it's not like he had really slept.He more or less passed out among his thoughts.

[littl3chocobo]

' i think' he said 'that i feel better than before, it does not itch' he took his talios' hand, 'what did she say was wrong, i must confess i was not paying attention'

[Rosekitten]

"ah well thats great then!" That was at least a bit of good news, though it would sadly die with the next question. ".. that.. we have to go to the dragon kingdom.. only the healers there can reverse this." His ears dropped a little, it was still a long journey, he had a million fears of things that could go wrong. "we should probably leave as soon as you feel up to it. there's no telling when the infection will start to spread again."

[littl3chocobo]

he painfully hefted himself to his feet his arm felt like it was going to fall off but otherwise he did not feel so bad, he took a single wobbly step before straightening himself 'what good luck we are already going' he face fell a bit then 'but the horses, we did not finish our task did we? without those we will be behind'

[Rosekitten]

He frowned a little. "you get your ass back on that bed, i'll take care of the task that we were given.. so dont worry about it." he tried to convince Zosa to get more rest, he could spend the rest of the day taking care of the two kids, they'd never make it anywhere without horses.. not if his condition worsened while they were traveling.

[littl3chocobo]

he opened his mouth to argue but before any words could be uttered a knock came at the door and a man slipped in. he was one of the healers from before and he was looking distinctly uncomfortable 'excuse me' he said 'but our lady lesphah said you are to be ready for the ride out as soon as you are able, the horses have been made ready.' he looked at the two sheepishly. 'forgive me for having interrupted' he quickly left back out of the room. '....oh, well nanna agrees with me then i think.' he stared at the closed door

[Rosekitten]

He watched the man come say what he had to and leave. "well.. I guess that settles that then doesn't it.." Over all it was a good thing, one less day to wait. But he was worried that Zosa wasn't up for the trip .. but even if that were the case he'd be there to support him through till the end, thats all he could do.

[littl3chocobo]

he knew what the other was thinking and he was not pleased, obviously nanna thought it was important to send him away so either he was contagious or the situation was dire, either way he would not question it and he would not let the other guilt him into questioning it either. he shook his thoughts clear of such a morbidly selfish line of thought. he turned to the other 'i guess it does'

[Rosekitten]

"Well lets go then, the sooner the better. After your well again we'll come back to make it up to the twins.. hows that?" He forced a bit of a smile but .. he knew his brother enjoyed it here, really this place reminded him a lot of home. Though both of them had long ago left that place behind and never bothered returning.

[littl3chocobo]

he nodded. even after all this had been put on the table his talios still tried to please him, he felt aweful but at the same time comforted
