Day 153 - Your war isn't over yet

Who: Raile and you!
Open: Open
When: 153, afternoon
Where: The River
What: After a long trip and even longer fall, Raile is back at the Bastion and looks worse for the wear
Format: Any
Warnings: Maybe some drama, some body squickiness

[Raile had, as Raile often did, stumbled back into The Bastion looking like he'd been through the whole seven hells; though thanks to the help of AZ, his arm was now firmly set back inside it's socket instead of being half crooked. When he'd fallen off the Skyway, the winds had been so violently unpredictable that he'd been tossed all the way to Mount Zand where he landed hard on his side and spent half a day unconscious underneath a pile of brush; when he awoke, he found his shoulder dislocated, his head cut open, and his hammer gone, not exactly the best of circumstances to be left in if he did say so himself. Thankfully giving up wasn't in his nature, so with his Carbine in hand and nothing more than his sheer force of will in tow, he set off back towards The Bastion.

It was rough going, especially considering he had to improvise his gun as both a crutch and a club when the times called for it; it was fair to say that he'd earned the numerous welts and bruises on his already battered body, but he wasn't going to let The Wilds take him that easily. Eventulaly though, he had found his way home and now he was kneeling by the river as he used it's perpetually flowing waters to wash the dried blood off of his face; using the water's reflective surface to get a good look at the deep cut on the side of his head...too big to close up on its own, but too small to throw any real ruckus over.

Considering that was the most lasting bit of damage...Raile could deal; there was no way he'd let himself die before he gave his apologies in person, though he figured he might owe Zulf a few more now as he clicked his tongue and ran his finger around his head gash.

Damn...got me good, it's gonna take a while to heal proper...though maybe I can use that fancy new hospital....

[He mumbled to himself as he leaned his head back and poured some water into the wound itself; earning him something just short of a growl as he gritted his teeth.]

RAILE!

[What was that about it being too small to throw a ruckus over?]

[Zulf is making a bolt from across the Bastion- it's hard to miss that mess of white hair on the kid's head even with all the strange additions from other worlds. His skirts are hitched up away from his ankles as he runs as fast as he possibly can. Even as someone not in combat, he's still and Ura and his speed is something. In a heartbeat, he's crouching down besides Raile with his gaze flitting everywhere as he sees each new injury.]


You're alive.

[It's rasped out, his lungs still not recovering from the dash he's made and able to only push out those two words for right now.]
fuckthemancers: (babirousa) (Nothing like an old fashioned)

[personal profile] fuckthemancers 2014-01-31 07:48 pm (UTC)(link)
I don't know what had happened, you'd already disappeared from view by the time I had any idea of what was going on!

[Still, that hand on his shoulder seems to bring him back to earth and Zulf hisses out a shaky breath.]

Look at you... We have a hospital now, there's no need for you to be out here. Come on. [He gets up to his feet and reaches for Raile's to try to pull him up.]
fuckthemancers: (busket) (Tonight I plan on being a bigger)

[personal profile] fuckthemancers 2014-01-31 08:03 pm (UTC)(link)
[Typical that the miracles would happen after Zulf's had a heart attack and then some.]

This is what happens when I take my eye off of you, isn't it...? I'll try and clean you up as best as I'm able, then. If nothing else, I know there's a healer in the Bastion who can do some good for you.

[He turns and starts to guide Raile to the hospital, only to pause for just a brief moment.]

...Please don't do that again.

[Despite his next words, Zulf does sound immensely relieved like that. He's not sure how well he'd be able to handle the next break if anything were to happen to Raile or Zia.]

Well you'll simply have to deal with it until your wounds heal properly. There's still plenty to do here without going out to the Skyway. You could help Stuart, or Rin in the kitchen...

[Reaching the hospital, Zulf holds it open for the young Cael.]

Make things up with Zia.
fuckthemancers: (rockafiller) (How sober do you have to be to)

[personal profile] fuckthemancers 2014-01-31 08:37 pm (UTC)(link)
[Well, the question is expected, but it still makes Zulf grimace slightly.]

Well, it's not as though I could particularly lie after dragging myself and your hammer back to the Bastion. It was fairly obvious something had happened.

[It's not as though he'd be able to lie to her to begin with, not with what had happened with their conversation.]

Let's just focus on you for right now.
fuckthemancers: (Eyes open wide)

[personal profile] fuckthemancers 2014-01-31 08:44 pm (UTC)(link)
Are you blushing?

[child pls]

I'm amazed you have enough blood to blush with considering most of it seems to be coming out through the gash on your head. You can be perfectly mortified at a later date, preferably when you aren't making your bandana an even deeper shade of red.

[Zulf sighs and starts to try and herd Raile further into the hospital into the nearest available emergency room.]
fuckthemancers: (runningwithpaper) (There were staples in my)

[personal profile] fuckthemancers 2014-01-31 08:53 pm (UTC)(link)
[There's just a slight scoff in response to that, but Zulf just starts to bustle about the room getting the materials he's going to need. Some clean water, antibiotics...]

Don't be ridiculous. Caels, I swear- a gash like that is surely going to need stitches. [Zulf gives a sigh as he walks over and presses a cloth to the Kid's bleeding head.] Hold that there. Times like this I wish we were near the Terminals. One of Jevel's could fix this easily...
fuckthemancers: (Tear your heart out for what)

[personal profile] fuckthemancers 2014-01-31 09:08 pm (UTC)(link)
What-?

[A look of startled confusion passes over Zulf's face at the harsh reaction but he steels himself up soon enough with a frown. His shoulders go straight.]

Yes you are, since that's what's needed for that gash in your head! There are ways to just numb you to anything happening, you know, you won't have to feel it.
fuckthemancers: (iro-toridori) (Someone else needs to become)

[personal profile] fuckthemancers 2014-01-31 09:19 pm (UTC)(link)
Raile-

[Before his voice can start to rise, however, Zulf pauses and just takes a deep breath. Obviously, arguing with him isn't going to do any good. Time spent wasting words just means wasted blood.]

We'll take care of the sling needed for your arm first, alright?

[Raile's response actually doesn't matter first, since Zulf is already getting the sling.]

[There was one thing to be said about the usual relative quiet of the Bastion, and that was that sound carried. Even with the increase in population of both residents and creatures that made the place sound more like an actual village than some barely surviving rock in the sky, sound still carried.

There weren't any long term patients in the hospital for Rin to bring food to currently, but she still went by it on her way to the onsen, and that was enough for her acute hearing to pick up the yelling. She could hear Zulf in there, too, but it was the yelling voice that caught her attention.

Was that the Kid?

Curiously, she detoured and slipped in to the hospital quietly, wasting no time at all to find them.]


... christ, what the hell happened to you?
fuckthemancers: (Mother)

[personal profile] fuckthemancers 2014-01-31 09:30 pm (UTC)(link)
Yes, well, Zulwood Oil still wouldn't actually close up the wound, so-

[Zulf is in the middle of starting to put the sling in its place around the kid's arm when he hears Rin's voice from the doorway, giving a slight jolt of surprise. Despite their last discussion- not too long ago in fact- he's actually relieved to see her.]

He fell off the Skyway and got whipped away to who knows where. He only just got back- ah, actually, Rin, could you help me with something?

[He'd been trying to think of a few different ways to take care of the bleeding head problem, from a few different arguments so he could make his case to actually drugging the stubborn Cael, but... this might work.]

[personal profile] hellpyre 2014-01-31 09:48 pm (UTC)(link)
[Welp. So much for her bath. But this is more important anyway, since Kid really does look like he's been put through hell. She moved in to the room proper, making a face at that.]

I don't think any of us have even been out that far yet. You're fuckin' lucky you made it back at all!

[She set her things down on a near by table.]

Right. What d'ya need?
