"Modern medicine can fix many a thing... but no medicine will ever repair a shattered soul. That's where I can step in." Alka extended a paw towards Draconos. "Walk towards the light and let it mend what is broken, my friend." The wolf smiled softly, still braced for impact, in the event that Draconos would take the opportunity to attack him.
Draconos was hesitant at first, but did put his paw on Alka's, but as he did, Draconos's body seemed to convulse as the corruption in him seemed to not want to leave, "G-gahh!.. I-I'm sorry... RRRRAAA!!", Draconos's eyes went black and the purple grid had expanded across his body, and he lept at Alka, acting as though he were a true feral dragon, mind and all.
Draconos didn't want this, and he tried to fight for control back, but his corruption wouldn't let him.
His corruption wasn't a demon, it was simply a manifestation of Draconos's grief and stress caused by the loss of his only son
Geoff struggled to get his thoughts together and stammered a bit. "O-okay, what now," he muttered to himself.
He furrowed his brow in thought, pulling his backpack off. He opened it up and rapidly shuffled through. He had an extra pair of clothes, a sleeping bag, a small tent, and whatever odd useful things he came across, many of which of what Inn patrons left behind over the years. Some of which were a few hand-warmer bags and a brown hooded robe.
"This might be... insanely dumb," he mumbled, "but it might work..."
He plucked a hand-warmer bag from one of his backpack pockets and shook it up, handing it to Raz.
"Hold it on your throat," he told him gently, copying the motion with his free hand. "The warmness should relax it, okay? I'm gonna take you somewhere safe."
He quickly changed his pants -- from blue jeans to simple black pants, and threw on the cloak. His backpack wasn't at all noteworthy, so hopefully that won't be a bother. He hoped the night made it too dark to catch all his facial features, and if the hood didn't conceal enough, there were other bears in the area to excuse him. He hoped. Very much hoped. He was running on a lot of hope today...
He made sure there was just enough room in the main backpack pocket for the kid. "We gotta be sneaky. Hop in and keep quiet, okay? I know a friend who can help us."
((Is it okay if I make this friend? still need to fill out the sheet. If this goes another route they'll still be of use.))
Raz took the pad and held it to his neck, trilling as the warm feeling was really nice on the hurt flesh
Raz listened to Geoff and climbed in, nuzzling the hot pad and curling up inside the bag
