I saved you [private] You forgot me

[SnarlingMink]

Amir sighed, sinking slowly into the soft grass below the large tree. He had been here for two hours, waiting for his client to come, although the client had yet to arrive, even as the sun was peeking slightly at the edge of the horizon. As he winced at the prospect of the bright light, though, he saw someone approach him from the tall grass. He noted that it was a parakeet- just like the client had said he would be, though they haven't seen each other face-to-face before now. He fingered the small packet of pain relievers in his pocket nervously, watching the figure for any strange movements or expressions that would tell him the deal was off.


As the parakeet got close, he called out softly. "Skeleton?" The high voice chirped. Amir nodded.


"Do you have the information?" Amir asked calmly, closing the pills in his fist. The parakeet looked at him in confusion. "You know you don't get bull if you don't have a prescription, right? I need proof- I'm not gonna fuel somebody's addiction." The parakeet's expression hardened. Amir simply closed his eyes and shrugged, moving to turn away.


There was a small shuffle behind him, then a scorching pain in his side. He moved to clutch at whatever hurt him, forgetting all about the pills as the tips of his fingers brushed a large, open wound that was gushing blood. His waterproof feathers let the blood drip, small beads falling from his feathers and soaking the waistband of his jeans. "Shit," He whimpered. A clawed hand wrapped around his horn, and pulled his head up to look into the face of the parakeet from before.


"The pills," Amir lifted his free hand and opened his fist, giving the parakeet the pills and crumpling into a ball, clutching his side.

[Zane the Fox]

*Zane walking along the road. He just got done with helping out last town with bandit problems. His coin bag on his belt made noise per step he took. He smile as he know that the bag would be bigger if it wasn't for that family he passed while back on the road. They had the look of staving and smell of hopeless. He gave them half of the coin in the bag. He seen the parent smile and hug him to thank him as their children cried. As he walk in happy thought, He smell blood in the air.* That odd. * He began to follow the smell of blood until he seen two people. He seen that parrot had blood on his hand as it tell that he attack the other one. He began to walk faster* OI! WHAT GOING ON HERE? *He ask as his hand grip his sword in case there was battle to start.*

[SnarlingMink]

Amir's eyes widened, concern spreading across his features. What if they attack me? I'm in no way capable of defending myself at the moment. He thought, as he heard a voice call out. Folding his wings around himself in a protective cocoon, Amir, leaned his waist against the tree, putting as much pressure on the wound as he could.


He lifted his head at a shuffle, and saw the parakeet as they flew off. He winced further at the increasing light, and opted instead to hide in his wing-cocoon, closing his eyes tightly. His claws, cut short on one hand to seem less menacing, buried under the first layer of his feathers near the wound, trying to put on as much pressure as possible. He could feel his pulse, beating against the palm of his hand, and the blood gushing from between his fingers to soak into his waistband.


He chuckled, quietly. I guess this is how I'm going to die, his thoughts purred. His face was twisted into a pained grin, and he dug his claws deep into the bark of the tree.

[Zane the Fox]

*Zane smell the blood strong as he grew closer to the two. The parrot tried to claw out his eye when he swing at Zane. He move at last moment and grab His arm and threw the parrot. The bird turn to fly away when he stood up after being thrown.* And if I see you again, I goin to have a feather hat made from your tail feather and roast your leg for my dinner! *He yell at the fleeing bird*

*Zane turn to face the feathery cocoon.* Hello in there. If you let me see your cut. I might be able to help. I got some first aid med in my bag. *Zane softly told the cocoon.* I won't harm you.

[SnarlingMink]

Amir lowered his upper pair of wings, lifting his head and squinting his eyes against the light. He could just make out the figure of a fox, standing not far from him. Just because he said he won't hurt me, doesn't mean he's being truthful. He thought to himself. He weighed his options for a moment- He could know what I do, or he could genuinely want to help.

Letting his wings relax and sink to the ground, Amir nodded, and let out a gruff, "Please don't kill me," before resting the top of his head against the tree, his horns gently digging into the bark on either side. As the adrenaline began to wear off, he could feel his pulse in the wound, and the pain moving caused him. The parakeet had gouged deep, and he hoped they hadn't hit anything vital.


He was taking a big risk, trusting someone with this. It was, however, better than simply dying.

[Zane the Fox]

There you go.*Zane smile when the wing open up to show a pretty dragon. He pull out few bottle and mix in a herb. He shook the bottle until the item inside turn to thick goo. He spill some on his hand as he put the rest on a cloth band. He softly rub the medical on his hand into the nasty cut. As he hold his hand on it, his other hand that hold the gaze move to cover the open wound. As he hold the gaze on the wound. He grab his cloth wrap from his bag.* Ok . I need you to lift your wing abit and lend forward a little. And th is might hurt as I need to wrap this tight so it can stop the bleeding.

[SnarlingMink]

Amir nodded shakily, twitchy from the pain the stimulation of his cut caused. He lifted his wings, settling them towards the opposite, unhurt side, and moved forward, baring leaning back and instead digging his long claws into the soft ground below him.


He kept his eyes closed, thinking of how he already had enough pain for the day, though he was resisting the urge to peek at his rescuer. All he knew so far is that they might be a fox. He tried to distract himself, willing his ruffled feathers to lower, and to take a less defensive pose.


His teeth bared, he prepared for the worst as the fox warned him of pain to come.

[Zane the Fox]

Good. *Zane smile as he began to wrap the body* The med shouldn't take long to numb the cut. I gotten those medical herb from a monk of green forest. They are the best. *He look over his work to make sure he didn't miss anything. As he look, he start to hum that the monk taught him. The medical began to glow beneath the wrap when he start to hum a softy and smoothing wordless song*

[SnarlingMink]

Amir winced at the pain, but sighed as it slowly ebbed away. He felt a gentle warmth, and gasped when he saw a gentle glow beneath the bandages.


"How... how can you do that?" He stuttered sleepily, the soft tune of the song the fox was humming lulling him into a sleepy state. "The glowin' thing,' He finished with a murmur.

[Zane the Fox]

Heh heh. Like I said. The monk show me. He is friend with me ma. *Zane stop humming when the red center in the glowing disappear.* There. You should be heal enough now. Just don't over work yourself. Do you need me to carry you anywhere? *Zane tilt his head to side as He ask the question. He kept a ear turn to area they in. He learn long ago how a attack can come out nowhere and quick.*

[SnarlingMink]

"Can you help me to my house?" Amir mumbled in response, feeling his face heat, looking away and avoiding eye contact. He didn't want to ask for this person's help further, but he doubted that he could get back to his home on his own. The longer feathers near the end of his tail closed and opened with nervousness, and a quiet rumble fought to escape his throat.


"It's not far, just down the path to the grove of oak trees, you can see them over there," He murmured softly, point towards the grove of oak trees and still avoiding eye contact.

[Zane the Fox]

Sure *Zane smile as he pick up the dragon onto his back. He turn and slowly ran incase of another attack. He made sure to run in his shadow as his leg sank into his shadow up to his knees. It allow him to run without the bump that would cause harm or discomfort and allow him to gain more speed easily.*

Ah. Here we are. I believe. *Zane slow down in front of the building that the dragon on his back point him to. He walk up to the door and use his tail to open the door.* Ok. Where to now? *The fox turn his head to look at his carry on. Anyone could tell that he don't seem to mind to help as he had a big foxy grin seem like it was glue onto his face.*
