"Could you make it a hit of poisen sir? Or two, just to make sure?" San half heartedly smiles

The man leans over him, carefully finishing up with the bandages.

"Not being a good judge of people, still I sense a taste of misery and guilt in your words. I have been there too. We all have our reasons, and this is none of my business, but.. why do you wish to embrace death?"

Inwë slowly turns and looks down at San.

"Yes, please tell us, San, what is your reason?" She cringes slightly and takes a step back as she feels Iekka stiring in her mind, but she holds strong.

"Why is it that you wish to end it?"

The Returner · Post by **The Returner** » Fri Oct 15, 2004 4:19 am

"Neither of you would understand." San mutters

Konstantin K · Post by **Konstantin K** » Fri Oct 15, 2004 4:36 am

"Good enough."

The man stands up and walks over to the elfess to look at her arm.

"Are you... alright?"

The Returner · Post by **The Returner** » Fri Oct 15, 2004 4:47 am

"Well....I'm not dead, if thats what your asking."

Konstantin K · Post by **Konstantin K** » Fri Oct 15, 2004 4:49 am

I was asking Inwe.

She looks down at her arm, the blood covering it, then down to her side where the wound had slashed thorugh her side, the blood slowly draining down her leg, leaveing a small pool of blood at her feet.

"I'm fine... it was just a scratch..." She looks up, but wont make eye contact wtih him.

Konstantin K · Post by **Konstantin K** » Fri Oct 15, 2004 5:00 am

Only now he notices a large gash in her side.

"I see..."

The man takes the glowing potion from her, and takes a new clean needle, unwrapping it out of a piece of white cloth.

"You handle such wounds very well, given such a fragile look and consitution."

With a motion of a hand he suggests her to sit down.

"Let me take care of it?"

Iekka · Post by **Iekka** » Fri Oct 15, 2004 5:08 am

She sighs as she squints her eyes shut, the adrenillin starting to wear off and the pain becoming more noticable. She shakes her head.

"I'm fine."

Konstantin K · Post by **Konstantin K** » Fri Oct 15, 2004 5:17 am

"I know"

The man kneels, and pushes on her shoulder, forcing her to sit.
He opens up her clothing in the area of a cut, revealing the bleeding wound. He feels the smooth elven skin around the injury with his finger, in a serious manner with not much emotion.

"At least you are doing better than San"

The man puts a few herb leaves to the wound, pressing them against the bleeding opening. The soft surface of the skin shivers at the painful touch, and he blows on it to make the burdain lighter.

"This will hurt, don't clench your teeth".

He pours a rather large doze of the shining liquid onto his needle, and carefully moves it along the sides of the wound first, and then, inserts it deeper, also cleaning out the blood inside with his finger, preventing it from succumbing inside the wound.

Soon he reaches the full depth of the gash and carefully moistens it with the potion, dexterously using his fingers, to put the veins as close back together as possible, letting the potion-moisted needle do its job.

He smiles as the wound starts to slightly glow, and grow back together, reminding of quickened regeneration. The process seems to be apparently painful.

Inwë does everything she can not to move, the seering pain burring up from the wound, her eyes shutting and her breaths stiffling as she clenches her fist, her other hand holding the soil in a dangerous grip, but she does everything she can not to show the pain, ever though she starts to feel light headed. She takes in long slow calming breath as she feels the wound sealing, cringeing slightly at her own movement.

She looks up at the man.

"Thanks..."

The short-grown lizard hisses as it hobbles along through the forest. A fly buzzes about before its face, and the lizard tilts its head, staring at it hanging mid-air before its face. A second later, a claw shoots forth to nab it, but the fly escapes with an angry 'buzz' and a spiteful hiss from the lizard. Then suddenly perceiving some voices nearby, it wanders closer, a dark-green cloak drawn closely around it, and its hood drawn deeply over its face. It steps out from in between the trees, using a long gnarly staff like a cane to walk, and it flicks its tongue with a low-pitched hiss, letting it slither back into its mouth. Spotting and recognizing one of the people, something like a smile seems to be forcing itself to its reptilian mouth, as it hisses again:

"shirnijeee"

Konstantin K · Post by **Konstantin K** » Fri Oct 15, 2004 11:10 am

Konstantin looks over, still holding his hands on the surface of Inwe's healing side. He seems to recognize the approaching short lizard, not as much by looks, but even by voice. Quickly he switches his tongue to hissing tones, speaking in lizard language with a slight human accent.

"szzsssshirnijeeesasss..."

"A lizard speaking man. Now I truely could die, and not miss a thing." San mutters

"Gettings bettersss, brothers Kon-ssstantin", the lizard hisses with a flick of its tongue, letting it slither back into mouth.

The lizard's shiny eyes seem to dart about nervously underneath the dark green hood as it musters the two other figures.

"Whose foolissszh mansss? Isss thisss... Sssians?", the lizard demands to know, audibly troubled by their tongue, and hobbling a bit closer to the wounded man with a distrustful air about it. "Mees thoughts heards name Sssians", the lizard hisses, standing above the wounded one and tilting its head in a curious mannerism.

Iekka · Post by **Iekka** » Fri Oct 15, 2004 4:52 pm

Inwë looks up at the lizardman, then to the man with his hand on her wound with slight intrest hearing the forgin tounge. She stays quiet, placeing her own hand over the mans and looking at him for another moment, before letting her gaze fall back to the lizard.

'Curious the things you see, amazing creatures they are though...' She thought to herself calmly, her gaze never wavering.

The Returner · Post by **The Returner** » Fri Oct 15, 2004 9:14 pm

"I'll be anyone if you just kill me already...." San bitterly tries again a stab at death.

Konstantin K · Post by **Konstantin K** » Fri Oct 15, 2004 11:23 pm

Konstantin smiles to the elfess and turns to the lizardman.

"This is not Moirear Sian."

Sass · Post by **Sass** » Fri Oct 15, 2004 11:57 pm

The lizard's face seems to be trying to smile again as it hisses, shiny eyes focused on the man trying to kill himself:

"nots Sssians but foolisssszh he issss"

The lizard tries to lightly slap the wounded man on his hand with the end of its gnarly wooden staff, but his motions hint of a somewhat venerable age and have a clearly visible lax about them.

The Returner · Post by **The Returner** » Sat Oct 16, 2004 12:31 am

"Your old to! kill me! Aren't you hungry? Human head tastes like fish you know..." San rambles on for a while longer, then gives up and slumps against his tree defiantly.

Reverence · Post by **Reverence** » Sat Oct 16, 2004 12:58 am

Moving from the shadows a man appears before Konstantin and the lizard,

' Resereve your strength priest, these matters hold no profit.. '

Putting his hand to the blade at his side the darkly clad figure turns to the lizard man.

' Sian is spocken for, seek your own meat.. '

Konstantin K · Post by **Konstantin K** » Sat Oct 16, 2004 1:06 am

Konstantin is still and passive, awaiting the resolution of the situation. By now he had finished taking care of the elfess's wound, and slighty rubbed her side to make sure the completely healed up gash is gone.

The Returner · Post by **The Returner** » Sat Oct 16, 2004 1:11 am

San looks at the new man

"Hey.....hey!?....you gonna kill me?"

Iekka · Post by **Iekka** » Sat Oct 16, 2004 1:14 am

She frowns.

"San, give it up, you are not dying today..." She mutters shakeing her head, then looking softly to the man before her who had mended her wound with a smile that she couldnt help but let out. Her gaze shifts to the two new ones before her.

"Hm, do I know you two?" She asks, looking to the lizard, then to the new man.

The Returner · Post by **The Returner** » Sat Oct 16, 2004 1:16 am

"We'll see...." San mutters, and slumps again

Konstantin K · Post by **Konstantin K** » Sat Oct 16, 2004 1:30 am

Konstantin notices the dark clothed person and stands up, staying still.

"Reverence. We meet again."

Reverence · Post by **Reverence** » Sat Oct 16, 2004 2:11 am

' As we allways shall priest.. '

The man turns his back to Konstantin. and the others who linger..

' Pursue this course if you wish, but your skills shall be needed else where in the comming days '

A small blade in hand and the darkness forming about him the man walks into the open streets and disapears from sight.

Sass · Post by **Sass** » Sat Oct 16, 2004 2:24 am

The lizard backs away from the man Konstantin addressed as Reverence, and hisses softly, tongue flicking out and back into mouth shortly, then tilting its head and watching after him disappearing in the distance. One more time, Sass attempts to smile at Konstantin, and then hobbles away from the wounded man, back in the direction from whence he came. He pauses next to the man and looks up at him through glassy eyes, and then back to the elfess and the wounded man.

"shirnijeee", is what it hisses, before taking to hobble away again.
