Lost: Tropic Crash

[Malina]

Rhudé looked over at the bushes when they heard the sound of someone watching them. They nudged Al gently and whispered, "I think we're being watched," subtley nodding their head in the direction of their watcher.

[Dr. Alka Wolf]

Al kept a completely straight face. "It's easier to find supplies to support two peiple, as opposed to five or six. Besides... more people, means more chances that we're going to get stabbed in the back." As he heard the rustling of leaves as Nick crouched, he placed a paw onto his sword, but kept moving. "They won't make a move. Not unless they're stupid."

[Malina]

"Got it" they said, walking further into the forest. "You're not injured at all are you?" they asked Al as he led them deeper into the thick overgrowth. Soon they reached a small clearing where birds were flying overhead.

[Dr. Alka Wolf]

Al had a few scratches over him, and was bleeding from his forehead. It didn't seem to bother him though, as his gaze kept straight. "I'll be fine. You just worry about that leg of yours." Once they reached the edge of the clearing, he stopped. "Alright. This seems like a good enough place to set up camp. Plenty of room for a fire and make-shift tent."

[Malina]

Rhudé sat at the edge of the clearing and watched their companion scan the area. "Is there anything you want me to do?" they asked, streching their leg to test its strength.

[Ventus Fall]

After a few more suitcases Ratface started to realise they also needed water and food. Water especially to drink down the pain medication.
He put all the paracetemol he found in one bottle, and the aspirin in a different bottle.
Fiddling with the bottles for a while, he sighed when done, then headed back to the already opened suitcases.

"There are some smart enough to pack some drinking bottles and snacks in their suitcases," he mumbled.
It was true: Taking fluids in hand luggage was not allowed in general over 100mL, however, you could have a bottle or a few in your suitcase without a problem. Of course if would be a problem if someone would stack their entire suitcase with the stuff, but two or three bottles were no problem.
Ratface recalled some suitcases he came across having water and soda bottles. The soda bottles were going to be tricky, but they were still fluids.

After a short while he looked at the hyena who joined him and nodded, answering his question. Ratface also looked at the dragon. He signaled him to walk with him back to the dragon. Ratface walked back with a backpack on his back he found which now contained a couple of drinking bottles. He spread out three bottles in front of them and showed them both the two bottles he had of paracetemol and aspirin.
"Look, I don't know which you prefer, I know I'd rather have paracetemol, but there is enough of both for us for a while. Use a bottle here to drink it down, and also to recover from... all this." He waved his arms towards the crash site.
"Hope this helps." He sniffed and took one of the three bottles, screwing the cap open and started to drink its contents.

[Fable]

"Thanks again for finding this stuff." Talon says to the rat opening up the bottle for the dragon creature, "My names Talon by the way. Talon fairchild. Do you need me to pour the water for you?" Talon asked changing his attention from the rat to the dragon.

[Razuel]

Raz looked at the water and then to Talon, nodding in wanting the water.

[Fable]

"ok, tip your head back a bit." talon very carefully and slowly poured little bits of the water out above the dragon's mouth careful not to pour too much of it. "Flick your tail or somethin' when you've had enough."

[Razuel]

Raz held his head back, opening his maw and drinking the water that fell into his maw, and after a few a moments, he twitched his tail for Talon to stop

[Ventus Fall]

The rat smirked, trying to seem like he cared about the gratitude Talon showed him and the dragon requesting he'd get the water.

"So..." He started, "I've taken a brief look at your injury. I don't think I am able to pull out the metal, however... " Ratface pondered. What could he use to take it out. He needed leverage.
"You seem like a man with a plan. Any clue what we could use as leverage?"

[Fable]

Talon looked over his arm wincing at the injury. "I-It might not be as deep as it seems... If we had some tools- like a pair of pliers then that might be able to get a hold of it enough... but if we tear it out itll probably start bleeding pretty bad again."

[Dr. Alka Wolf]

Al shook his head when he looked down at Rhudé. "Save your strength for that leg. We're only going to camp here a few days before we've got to move out again." He said as he began to visualise in his mind the type of camp he wants to set-up.

[Ventus Fall]

Ratface put up a sad smile on his face to try to seem more compassionate and understanding. It was good he learned facial expressions and their cues, otherwise he would have probably been cast out from the start. Such manipulative skills and understanding of communication came in quite handy.
"I agree... Although I must confess I only have brief knowledge of how to deal in such situations. If I find a set of pliers, will you be able to guide me to help pull it out?"

[Fable]

Talon took a deep breath thinking through his limited options only to end up nodding "Yeah sure, I can help." With that said he takes a drink of his own water and swallows two of the aspirin. "How long do you think it'll take them to find us?" He also thinks again about Erin. he needs to rest and get some strength back because he needs to bury her. He knows he can't, and wouldn't even try to bury everyone, but Erin was different. She had reached out to him, offered help, and now she's dead.
