Hikaru Mekanic sits at his desk in the church, writing amid the candlelight... He had spent most of the night giving last rites to the ones who had passed on from the explosion. Reaching up he ran his fingers over the cross lightly then returned to his writing.
Virgil opens the door to the church as quietly as possible and walks in, not usually one for showing his faith due to his profession..he thought now would be as good a time as any beings nobody was in the building, he made his way down the isle and to a bench and sat, sighing softly
Hikaru Mekanic glanced up from his desk, being that he had a clear view of the whole church from there. He smiled slightly at the man he recognized. There were no religious or holy items in the church, no effigies of Christ, only the solitude and silence to pray to whomever you wished.
Virgil doesn't notice as he sits there, head down, his tangled and knotted hair hanging over his shoulders, he smelled heavily of blood as he prayed silently
Hikaru Mekanic frowned slightly as he watched the man a moment, smelling the blood. He wasn't usually the kind to intrude on someone in prayer.. but the amount of blood bothered him. Slowly he rose and quietly moved to stand near the man, his voice hushed and soft as he spoke "I'm sorry to bother you but... are you alright?"
Virgil doesn't look up and speaks softly " i am fine..."
Hikaru Mekanic looked the man over carefully, looking for the source of the blood smell.
Virgil sits there silently his clothing pretty much covered, a few large bite wounds evident on him from some large animal
Hikaru Mekanic frowned deeper and moved to his desk, opening the bottom drawer and pulling out a large first aid kit, he didn't speak as he pulled out a few gauze pads and cleanser, then moved back to sit beside the man "I don't want to bother your prayer... but... you are not fine. Would you let me bandage you up while you continue?"
Virgil frowns slightly and nods once "very well then...."
Hikaru Mekanic starts cleansing the wounds carefully and silently, his touch gentle as he worked.
Virgil winced slightly as he cleaned one of the deeper ones, he tucked his tail around his leg a bit more for comfort against the pain
Hikaru Mekanic bandaged the wound then moved to the next, noticing the tail but not commenting on it. He didn't try moving the man to get to the wounds, but instead moved around him himself. He stayed silent, letting him continue praying as he needed to.
Virgil snarls as again a sensitive wound is touched, making him leap to his feet and face the man in reflex, one hand had turned to a paw with sharp sickle like claws, he stopped just as he was about to slap the man in the face with it..he growled and looked down in shame "sorry..."
Hikaru Mekanic had moved, faster than he could have seen several feet away, still holding the gauze. He gave the man a soft smile. "It's alright.. some people get.. touchy with wounds... and yours are.. pretty bad."
Virgil frowns more and sits back down, still ashamed with his actions "this isn't all that bad...i left the other guy in worse shape.."frowns more
Hikaru Mekanic nods and moves to sit next to him again. "You should see a Dr. about these..." He shook his head. "Then again you do have bad luck with them."
Virgil grumbles " i don't like em...i have my reasons for it.."
Hikaru Mekanic nods reaching for his arm gently pulling back the sleeve to see a deeper wound there "This one requires more.. Virgil." He said his name softly, finally remembering it.
Virgil frowns a bit and looks to the torn flesh and muscle complete with exposed bone"i hate doctors....every time i see one..i panic..."
Hikaru Mekanic nods "You could shift... that would heal most of this..."
Virgil “i was told...not to be in wolf form as much anymore...plus I'm too damn tired to shift right now...”
Hikaru Mekanic nods again rising from the pew "Is it the Doctors themselves? the Clinic rooms, or what they do that scares you?" He moved back to the kit rummaging around in it.
Virgil “all of it....you see in the town i lived in before here...what i am..was frowned upon...i was..experimented on..they kept trying to cure what was not curable..my parents told them to do it...::frowns and sinks into the pew::
Hikaru Mekanic returns carrying a small plastic sealed bag with sutures in it. "I'm sorry is not enough Virgil... but that is the best I can say." He lay the bag down on his lap still sealed and looked at the wound again frowning "It needs stitches... I'm no Doctor, but I can do my best.."
Virgil nods slightly " i thank you for what your doing...i honestly appreciate it.."gives a very slight smile
Hikaru Mekanic smiles softly "I'm here to help.. comes with the job description" he chuckles softly and turns guiding Virgil's hand and arm to rest between his knees and opening the bag. "I don't have the painkillers that you should have before this.."
Virgil frowns and nods a little "i cannot promise i will not shift and pass out..pain tends to make me shift when its bad enough..."
Hikaru Mekanic nods "I can't roll you either... when I roll someone all I can do is put them in a memory of mine... and I along with them. I need my mind clear for this.. besides I think most of my memories would do more damage than help."
Virgil sighs softly and gives a slight nod " i just do not wish to harm you is all.."
Hikaru Mekanic looks up and meets his eyes giving a small smile "if you feel that you are about to shift, or it becomes too much, tell me to stop and I will."
Virgil nods a little and tries to give a weak smile, his wolf eyes tired "alright.."
Hikaru Mekanic threaded the needle with ease, then looked down at the wound. His tongue slipped out as he made the first stitch to rest up on his upper lip, three rings going down the length of his tongue could be seen easily by Virgil.
Virgil raises a brow slightly as he notices and shakes his head a bit, trying to get certain thoughts out of his head, wincing only slightly at the first incision
Hikaru Mekanic moved carefully but quickly aligning the muscle back together and stitching that up first. One part of his mind was on the stitching, the other was focused on Virgil, just in case he started to shift or move.
Virgil was trying to control his breathing to remain calm, but the pain fills his mind..his beast roaring to the surface to defend itself against the one who is causing the horrific pain
Hikaru Mekanic stopped, glancing up at him as he sensed something about him change. "Virgil?"
Virgil doubles over and clutches at the pew with his hands, trying extremely hard to control what he feels is about to rip through him
Hikaru Mekanic quickly slips the needle off the thread and reaches up touching his shoulder frowning "Virgil... I've stopped... "
Virgil swallows hard and gives a slight nod, his body trembling lightly as he urges the beast to calm, its obvious hes exhausted, a heavy sweat forming on his skin
Hikaru Mekanic gives him a few moments to relax and breathe. "If you want, you can sleep here."
Virgil breathes hard as he keeps his head down, the trembling slowing " i do not want to be a burden...not to someone else..."
Hikaru Mekanic shakes his head "It's alright though... I have designed this church to be a safe house for anyone."
Virgil frowns "I'm too dangerous.."looks at him slightly "and insane according to most.."
Hikaru Mekanic smiles softly "Everyone can be dangerous Virgil. You could have attacked me but you didn't, you stopped yourself. That shows that you are not insane or will kill without reason."
Virgil frowns and sinks down more, looking very guilty as he thinks "yeah..."
Hikaru Mekanic tilts his head to the side "I do not judge people on their pasts Virgil.."
Virgil “its not my past..its the present..”:: frowns and doesn't look at him::
Hikaru Mekanic nods "Everyone does things they do not like to admit." He kept his hand on his shoulder and ducked his head looking at him and giving him a small smile, trying to reassure him.
Virgil frowns a bit and nods slightly " i kill for a living..i enjoy it...and i know i shouldn't...i know i will end up as the loser someday..its a matter of time.."
Hikaru Mekanic nods, his face showing no hatred or anger towards him.
Virgil shakes his head slightly "just do not know what to do anymore...I'm dead if i quit..I'm dead if i continue.."
Hikaru Mekanic sighed "Then perhaps you need a new way..."
Virgil frowns and looks at him" like what?.."
Hikaru Mekanic smiled "Everyone is good at more than one thing Virgil..." he spoke as he gently eased his hand and arm back into place, re-threading the needle and starting to stitch again "Keep talking to me ok? Try focusing on what you are trying to say and just say it..."
Virgil nods a little as he tries hard to ignore what the needle is doing "its just..its all I've been trained to do..one reason i am Hati to the pack here...fighting..killing..its all i know..."
Hikaru Mekanic nods his voice softening "There are many ways to fight, you do not always have to kill to win." His tongue slipped out again, taking its place upon his upper lip once more.
Virgil winces and jerks slightly " i know..but i don't know any other.."stops talking as a cry leaves him, his beast resurfacing quickly, obviously he didn't concentrate on his words hard enough..he begins to shift painfully, a snarl leaving him as he makes a grab for the rather sexy vamp with one large paw as the rest of him shifts
Hikaru Mekanic is just suddenly not there, his hand swipes at the air as Hikaru moves several feet away, standing beside his desk watching him warily.
Virgil snarls as he stands on two paws and sways slightly, holding the large wolf head between upper paws, something obviously not right, the shift finishes and he collapses to his knees, keeping his head in his paws, clutching hard
Hikaru Mekanic doesn't move and speaks quietly "Virgil?"
Virgil lifts his head slowly to look at him, snarling softly, ears pinned back
Hikaru Mekanic gives him neutral eyes, softened slightly and glowing gently in the dim church
Virgil snarls and gets to his paws and slowly moves towards him, stumbling he falls hard with a grunt, obviously the wounds not fully healed are making it difficult for him
Hikaru Mekanic doesn't move, doesn't speak, but watches as his body goes as still as he can
Virgil snarls and tries to get up weakly,but soon gives up, laying there panting in defeat
Hikaru Mekanic relaxes slowly watching him before moving slowly around him to see him better "Virgil?" He barely whispered it knowing that he could hear it
Virgil perks his ears slightly then grumbles "o..ow.."
Hikaru Mekanic keeps whispering as he tries meeting his eyes calmly "What is it?"
Virgil groans and shudders "everything..hurts.."looks at his eyes from on the floor
Hikaru Mekanic nods "What can I do?"
Virgil huffs softly "no idea.....this has never happened before..."
Hikaru Mekanic frowns and inches closer, outwardly he was calm, but underneath was the unmistakable hint of fear. "I could call Ra..." (but hes not on right now.. :P)
Virgil tries to move but lets out a soft whimper, going still again "don't..trouble him with this problem.."seems to almost blush under his fur at the mention of the master of the city
Hikaru Mekanic moves closer, crouching next to him still frowning "I do no know what else to do... Chelle is .. unavailable right now..."
Virgil nods slightly and sighs a little, his wounds somehow bleeding worse since he shifted "after what happened...it is..understandable.."
Hikaru Mekanic reached out and touched his chest gently "What caused these wounds Virgil? You should have healed this easily when you shifted.."
Virgil opened his eyes slightly and shakes his head a little "fought..some vampire..who had some small dragon as a pet...not sure what it was exactly.."
Hikaru Mekanic eyes widen a bit "Why the hell would you do that?
Virgil keeps his eyes closed this time as he speaks softly "had to...its my job.."
Hikaru Mekanic nods slowly "I don't know anything about dragons..."
Virgil “I don't either..obviously..::groans slightly and shifts a little, blood dripping down his fur and onto the floor::
Hikaru Mekanic reaches up to the pew and grabs some gauze, pressing it to one of his wounds firmly "Just don't eat me ok?"
Virgil raises a brow slightly "i cannot move.....your safe.."
Hikaru Mekanic smiles slightly trying to stop the flow of blood then pauses, smelling something off with the blood
Virgil just lays there panting softly, not noticing the smell, just currently trying to ignore
the pain
Hikaru Mekanic pulls the bloodied gauze to his nose and smells it grimacing "Are dragons poisonous?"
Virgil speaks softly, half conscious "some...from what i heard.."
Hikaru Mekanic looks up to the doors then back down to Virgil. "Don't go anywhere..." he stand quickly and is suddenly gone, the doors hitting the walls loudly as they slam open
Virgil was about to say a smart ass remark about going somewhere when he cant move, but realizes the vampire is already gone and sighs softly, he growls a little as he feels as if his muscles are burning
Hikaru Mekanic returns after just a few minutes, carrying a few bags of blood and an IV kit setting them down beside him and running his fingers through his hair
Virgil opens his eyes slightly to look at him, wondering what hes doing, his body trembling lightly due to muscle spasms
Hikaru Mekanic frowned touching Virgil's shoulder before hooking up the IV, trying to find the vein in his arm through the fur "The new blood will dilute it... can you possibly please change back? I'm having a little bit of trouble here..."
Virgil without a word he forces himself to shift back, the process slow..and painful..by time he lays naked in human form his heart has slowed dangerously due to the shifting causing the poison to circulate faster
Hikaru Mekanic finds the vein quickly, his hands still gentle as always as he slides the IV needle in, starting the flow of blood. He whispers under his breath, straining ears would hear him praying.
Virgil lays there quietly as the blood flows into his system, keeping him alive for the moment, his heart struggling to keep beating despite the numbness the venom is causing in all of his muscles
Hikaru Mekanic slips behind him and lifts him carefully against him. He did not tell him that while he had run tot he clinic he cad called Ra, seeking his aid. All Ra could do was suggest one thing, as he was caring for Chelle at the moment and could not leave her side.
Virgil lays limply against him besides the occasional twitch of a muscle, unaware that he is pretty much in the little sexy vampires lap
Hikaru Mekanic reaches down and squeezed the bag of blood hooked up to the IV, forcing fresh blood into his system, diluting the poisons. He could feel his companion in the back of his mind, many miles away and urging him to be cautious, to not take the next step in Ra's suggestion.
Virgil coughs hard and shudders slightly, speaking in a soft choked voice "don't..."
Hikaru Mekanic whispers next to his ear "Don't what?" He keep squeezing the bag of blood forcing it into his system. once the bag was empty he grabbed another bag and quickly switched them over, squeezing that bag as well "Tonight has seen enough death Virgil."
Virgil remains pretty much nuzzled against him, eyes half opened and tired "my death...is my fault...i will not have you..risk yourself due to my mistakes..."
Hikaru Mekanic wrapped his other arm around Virgil's chest as he kept squeezing the blood into him "you came into my church Virgil.. I'm not letting you die here."
Virgil lays limply against Hikaru, not having enough energy left to respond
Zevv Redstar having been told to come to the church by Ra, stating that she was needed, grabbing her sea salt and other herbs she ran to the church, opening the doors to the church she entered, making her way down isle to the two just up ahead. reaching to their side she touch Hikaru's shoulder and smiled warmly " I wont let him die either "
Zevv Redstar speaking softly “ Hikaru, I’ll need you to back up some. she looked down at Vergil seeing his coloring, the grayish color of his flesh. it was the flesh of death. kneeling down her left hand hovered just over his chest
Virgil lays still, breathing in soft gasps, his gold wolf eyes open slightly and glazed
Hikaru Mekanic looks up to Zevv and smiles warmly and scoots back a bit, giving her room to work, his hand on the bag still squeezing automatically.
Zevv Redstar pulling out the sea salt she stood and walked around him as she made a circle, her words spoken just under her breath. when the last of the circle was closed she turned to Vergil
Virgil doesn't even notice she is there, too out of it to really notice much at the moment
Hikaru Mekanic backed up enough to be out of the circle, taking the bag with him but kept squeezing, forcing the blood into his system. "Ra said he had to have the poisons removed... " his whispered softly.
Zevv Redstar kneeling down once again she placed her left hand over his chest once more , chanting in the old language of her ancestors she continued until the power grew, her eyes glowed as she pulled on the power of Ra and Sarah needing their strength as well. hearing Hikaru " That is what I am doing " she said softly then continued to chant
Virgil doesn't move as she chants, not even able to hear her, only hearing a loud ringing in his ears
Zevv Redstar once the power reached its peak she allowed her receiving hand to pull the poison into her system, the sickening feeling roamed up into her hand and seeping into her system, becoming dizzy from the poison she didn’t waver, didn’t stop
Virgil lets out a soft groan and shifts slightly, giving his head a small shake, knowing what the poison does..and not wanting anyone else to suffer from it
Hikaru Mekanic kept forcing the blood into his body, switching the bag again, he still had two more left just in case. Watching Zevv carefully.
Zevv Redstar not listening to his feeble attempts to stop her she continued to pull on the poison until she felt that none was left in his system, sitting down on the floor she took slow deep breaths allowing the poison to work through her system until she rids it.
Virgil finally passes out, going still on the floor.
Hikaru Mekanic moves closer to Zevv reaching out and touching her shoulder lightly, looking worriedly at them both
Zevv Redstar still taking deep breaths she looked over at Hikaru feeling the light touch of his hand, she staggered to her feet, using her toe she broke the power of the circle so Hikaru could enter “ keep doing what your doing and he’ll be fine now “ she turned for the door, weak, staggering but keeping to her feet, she just wanted to get home where she could crawl in a corner and sit to expel it whenever it wanted to leave her system.
Hikaru Mekanic frowned seeing Zevv was clearly not well "Zevv..."
Zevv Redstar she stops slowly turning to Hikaru " yes" she almost choked out the words
Hikaru Mekanic glances to Virgil then back to her "Will you be.. alright?"
Zevv Redstar nods smiling softly her eyes dim not the normal sparkling emeralds " yes, sweet one I'll survive" she turned for the door and walked out silently as she had come
Virgil shifts slightly in his unconscious state
Hikaru Mekanic frowns, brushing the salt away from him and moving closer to look at him, his skin looked better. He glanced up at the doors as they softly closed worried for Zevv.
Virgil coughs slightly and curls up on the floor, feeling quite miserable after the ordeal
Hikaru Mekanic looks back at him and sighs pulling Virgil gently against him again, brushing the hair from his face.
Virgil cuddles against him instinctively and remains resting
Hikaru Mekanic feels dawn coming, his face automatically turning eastward for a moment before he slid his arms under Virgil, balancing the remaining bags of blood on his stomach, then lifted. Taking a moment to gather his balance.
Virgil hangs limply as he is lifted, not all that heavy really
Hikaru Mekanic carries him over behind the podium and hits the trip trigger for the door, the mechanisms moving the flooring out of the way almost instantly, and almost silently.
Hikaru Mekanic stepped down underground with him down the stairs, moving to the far door he pushes it open with his shoulder and moves inside, laying Virgil down on one of the cots there.
Virgil remains asleep as he is laid down, only shifting slightly to re-situate himself on the cot
Hikaru Mekanic stands next tot he bed for a while squeezing the bag and getting as much blood into his system as he can, watching over him.
Virgil remains unconscious, shifting every so often with small groans
Hikaru Mekanic removes the IV just before dawn, and goes back up to his desk quickly, writing a note for Virgil telling him how to get out of the underground. Returning downstairs, he pins the note to the door, checking on him again and brushing his hair from his face.
Virgil cuddles into the pillows
Zevv Redstar concerned about the male she made her way back slowly, entering the room she moved to
Hikaru, her voice raspy but soft " how is he doing?'
Hikaru Mekanic whispered softly "He's sleeping now... but better... " His face moved eastward again. "what about you?"
Zevv Redstar nods looking down at the male then turned to Hikaru " I'll be ok, I'll be weak and sick for a couple days though" motioning for Hikaru to begin walking " come, its time to get you laying down"
Hikaru Mekanic smiled almost sadly then nodded, moving to the door and slipping out the door. Opening the other door and seeming to disappear, the room empty after a soft groaning of metal and stone.
Zevv Redstar turns for the door as well, she needed to lay down, but didn't want to indicate to Hikaru about how bad she was feeling. making her way over the floor she slipped out of the room to head to the caravan
Hikaru Mekanic walks away from the secret door, into the back room and leans against the wall, sliding down to the floor as the sun crested the horizon. His thoughts drifted to his companion, letting him know he was alright and safe as he winced, gasping softly in the dark as he died.
Virgil opens the door to the church as quietly as possible and walks in, not usually one for showing his faith due to his profession..he thought now would be as good a time as any beings nobody was in the building, he made his way down the isle and to a bench and sat, sighing softly
Hikaru Mekanic glanced up from his desk, being that he had a clear view of the whole church from there. He smiled slightly at the man he recognized. There were no religious or holy items in the church, no effigies of Christ, only the solitude and silence to pray to whomever you wished.

Hikaru Mekanic pulls the bloodied gauze to his nose and smells it grimacing "Are dragons poisonous?"
Virgil speaks softly, half conscious "some...from what i heard.."
Hikaru Mekanic looks up to the doors then back down to Virgil. "Don't go anywhere..." he stand quickly and is suddenly gone, the doors hitting the walls loudly as they slam open
Virgil was about to say a smart ass remark about going somewhere when he cant move, but realizes the vampire is already gone and sighs softly, he growls a little as he feels as if his muscles are burning
Hikaru Mekanic returns after just a few minutes, carrying a few bags of blood and an IV kit setting them down beside him and running his fingers through his hair
Virgil opens his eyes slightly to look at him, wondering what hes doing, his body trembling lightly due to muscle spasms
Hikaru Mekanic frowned touching Virgil's shoulder before hooking up the IV, trying to find the vein in his arm through the fur "The new blood will dilute it... can you possibly please change back? I'm having a little bit of trouble here..."
Virgil without a word he forces himself to shift back, the process slow..and painful..by time he lays naked in human form his heart has slowed dangerously due to the shifting causing the poison to circulate faster
Hikaru Mekanic finds the vein quickly, his hands still gentle as always as he slides the IV needle in, starting the flow of blood. He whispers under his breath, straining ears would hear him praying.
Virgil lays there quietly as the blood flows into his system, keeping him alive for the moment, his heart struggling to keep beating despite the numbness the venom is causing in all of his muscles
Hikaru Mekanic slips behind him and lifts him carefully against him. He did not tell him that while he had run tot he clinic he cad called Ra, seeking his aid. All Ra could do was suggest one thing, as he was caring for Chelle at the moment and could not leave her side.
Virgil lays limply against him besides the occasional twitch of a muscle, unaware that he is pretty much in the little sexy vampires lap
Hikaru Mekanic reaches down and squeezed the bag of blood hooked up to the IV, forcing fresh blood into his system, diluting the poisons. He could feel his companion in the back of his mind, many miles away and urging him to be cautious, to not take the next step in Ra's suggestion.
Virgil coughs hard and shudders slightly, speaking in a soft choked voice "don't..."
Hikaru Mekanic whispers next to his ear "Don't what?" He keep squeezing the bag of blood forcing it into his system. once the bag was empty he grabbed another bag and quickly switched them over, squeezing that bag as well "Tonight has seen enough death Virgil."
Virgil remains pretty much nuzzled against him, eyes half opened and tired "my death...is my fault...i will not have you..risk yourself due to my mistakes..."
Hikaru Mekanic wrapped his other arm around Virgil's chest as he kept squeezing the blood into him "you came into my church Virgil.. I'm not letting you die here."
Virgil lays limply against Hikaru, not having enough energy left to respond
Zevv Redstar having been told to come to the church by Ra, stating that she was needed, grabbing her sea salt and other herbs she ran to the church, opening the doors to the church she entered, making her way down isle to the two just up ahead. reaching to their side she touch Hikaru's shoulder and smiled warmly " I wont let him die either "
Zevv Redstar speaking softly “ Hikaru, I’ll need you to back up some. she looked down at Vergil seeing his coloring, the grayish color of his flesh. it was the flesh of death. kneeling down her left hand hovered just over his chest
Virgil lays still, breathing in soft gasps, his gold wolf eyes open slightly and glazed
Hikaru Mekanic looks up to Zevv and smiles warmly and scoots back a bit, giving her room to work, his hand on the bag still squeezing automatically.
Zevv Redstar pulling out the sea salt she stood and walked around him as she made a circle, her words spoken just under her breath. when the last of the circle was closed she turned to Vergil
Virgil doesn't even notice she is there, too out of it to really notice much at the moment
Hikaru Mekanic backed up enough to be out of the circle, taking the bag with him but kept squeezing, forcing the blood into his system. "Ra said he had to have the poisons removed... " his whispered softly.
Zevv Redstar kneeling down once again she placed her left hand over his chest once more , chanting in the old language of her ancestors she continued until the power grew, her eyes glowed as she pulled on the power of Ra and Sarah needing their strength as well. hearing Hikaru " That is what I am doing " she said softly then continued to chant
Virgil doesn't move as she chants, not even able to hear her, only hearing a loud ringing in his ears
Zevv Redstar once the power reached its peak she allowed her receiving hand to pull the poison into her system, the sickening feeling roamed up into her hand and seeping into her system, becoming dizzy from the poison she didn’t waver, didn’t stop
Virgil lets out a soft groan and shifts slightly, giving his head a small shake, knowing what the poison does..and not wanting anyone else to suffer from it
Hikaru Mekanic kept forcing the blood into his body, switching the bag again, he still had two more left just in case. Watching Zevv carefully.
Zevv Redstar not listening to his feeble attempts to stop her she continued to pull on the poison until she felt that none was left in his system, sitting down on the floor she took slow deep breaths allowing the poison to work through her system until she rids it.
Virgil finally passes out, going still on the floor.
Hikaru Mekanic moves closer to Zevv reaching out and touching her shoulder lightly, looking worriedly at them both
Zevv Redstar still taking deep breaths she looked over at Hikaru feeling the light touch of his hand, she staggered to her feet, using her toe she broke the power of the circle so Hikaru could enter “ keep doing what your doing and he’ll be fine now “ she turned for the door, weak, staggering but keeping to her feet, she just wanted to get home where she could crawl in a corner and sit to expel it whenever it wanted to leave her system.
Hikaru Mekanic frowned seeing Zevv was clearly not well "Zevv..."
Zevv Redstar she stops slowly turning to Hikaru " yes" she almost choked out the words
Hikaru Mekanic glances to Virgil then back to her "Will you be.. alright?"
Zevv Redstar nods smiling softly her eyes dim not the normal sparkling emeralds " yes, sweet one I'll survive" she turned for the door and walked out silently as she had come
Virgil shifts slightly in his unconscious state
Hikaru Mekanic frowns, brushing the salt away from him and moving closer to look at him, his skin looked better. He glanced up at the doors as they softly closed worried for Zevv.
Virgil coughs slightly and curls up on the floor, feeling quite miserable after the ordeal
Hikaru Mekanic looks back at him and sighs pulling Virgil gently against him again, brushing the hair from his face.
Virgil cuddles against him instinctively and remains resting
Hikaru Mekanic feels dawn coming, his face automatically turning eastward for a moment before he slid his arms under Virgil, balancing the remaining bags of blood on his stomach, then lifted. Taking a moment to gather his balance.
Virgil hangs limply as he is lifted, not all that heavy really
Hikaru Mekanic carries him over behind the podium and hits the trip trigger for the door, the mechanisms moving the flooring out of the way almost instantly, and almost silently.
Hikaru Mekanic stepped down underground with him down the stairs, moving to the far door he pushes it open with his shoulder and moves inside, laying Virgil down on one of the cots there.
Virgil remains asleep as he is laid down, only shifting slightly to re-situate himself on the cot
Hikaru Mekanic stands next tot he bed for a while squeezing the bag and getting as much blood into his system as he can, watching over him.
Virgil remains unconscious, shifting every so often with small groans
Hikaru Mekanic removes the IV just before dawn, and goes back up to his desk quickly, writing a note for Virgil telling him how to get out of the underground. Returning downstairs, he pins the note to the door, checking on him again and brushing his hair from his face.
Virgil cuddles into the pillows
Zevv Redstar concerned about the male she made her way back slowly, entering the room she moved to
Hikaru, her voice raspy but soft " how is he doing?'
Hikaru Mekanic whispered softly "He's sleeping now... but better... " His face moved eastward again. "what about you?"
Zevv Redstar nods looking down at the male then turned to Hikaru " I'll be ok, I'll be weak and sick for a couple days though" motioning for Hikaru to begin walking " come, its time to get you laying down"
Hikaru Mekanic smiled almost sadly then nodded, moving to the door and slipping out the door. Opening the other door and seeming to disappear, the room empty after a soft groaning of metal and stone.
Zevv Redstar turns for the door as well, she needed to lay down, but didn't want to indicate to Hikaru about how bad she was feeling. making her way over the floor she slipped out of the room to head to the caravan
Hikaru Mekanic walks away from the secret door, into the back room and leans against the wall, sliding down to the floor as the sun crested the horizon. His thoughts drifted to his companion, letting him know he was alright and safe as he winced, gasping softly in the dark as he died.
