[IC] The Two Sides

[wallaberry]

Kianna removed the jacket and handed it down to Aya. "Here, he needs it more than me." Kianna was very tense as Misha approached them. "I'm assuming your here for him?" She said coldly.

[Fionraella]

Destin shakes his head weakly. "No. Not Rabin camp." He feebly kicks his paws. "Herbs all burnt. I need...more." He struggles to opens his eyes again, just barely managing. He looks up at Aya. He then sighs and rests his head on her arm, shivering more. He closes his eyes to conserve energy. "Don't kill Misha."

[Azereiah]

Brick stood up again and dusted the gravel off of his legs. This time he looked directly at Misha, and spoke loudly enough for her to hear him easily. The sword remained on the ground.

"You already know you've been seen, and yet you still approach. I take it you're not going to try anything stupid."

[Hawksnest565]

Whatever Destin was saying, he seemed to be delirious. Aya didn't pay attention to his request. She gratefully took the jacket from Kianna and wrapped him in it around her own. With that, she began to run back to camp, keeping him close to her chest. "You're going to be just fine." she tried to say soothingly as she dodged the low hanging branches on her path.

[xiaomiau]

Misha approached cautiously but at a steady pace through probably quite a bit of water. She paused when she reached the shore. She snarled at Brick. "You have my healer on the ground, 'bout on his death bad, and you're talking tough to me for seeing if he's okay?" She raised her brows and fixed him with a cold stare.

[Fionraella]

Destin curls closer to Aya for warmth. He was so glad he found her again. He'd missed her. And if he died, at least it would be in her arms. He begins to purr softly, raggedly, but still able to be heard if she listened. "I missed you Aya." He whispers softly, before letting her movements rock him to sleep.

[Azereiah]

Brick pointed a thumb to Kianna, who was still behind him. "That was as much for her benefit as for yours. He's gonna be okay. Our healer's with him now - as far as I'm concerned, he's a friend of a friend."

He sat down on top of his sword again. "Mind telling me what happened?"

[Hawksnest565]

"I... uh..." Aya felt tears welling up in her eyes. What was that about? She blinked them away furiously, knowing that she couldn't succumb to the want to hold him and cry. His tiny purrs fell into her ears as she ran at last causing a few tears to spill. "I missed you too." She didn't know how much time passed but it felt like an eternity when was finally at the camp entrance, breath ragged from her pace.

[xiaomiau]

@Azereiah Misha's hand moved to her waist, where she had a knife wrapped in a makeshift sheath. She narrowed her eyes, knowing she would have to explain herself but unwilling to let on any information that could jeopardize the group. "I don't gotta tell you anything," she hissed. "The kid fell in the water, and your lovely watchdog over here grabbed him."

[Fionraella]

Sacha glances over from where she was waiting for Grant to reply. She nods a greeting to Aya. "Hey, I hope you stayed safe. Where's Brick?" She then frowns at the shape in Aya's arm and turns to get a better look. "Did someone get hurt?" She asks, concerned. She begins walking over.

[wallaberry]

"Be grateful I even pulled him out of the fucking water," Kianna snaps, holding herself back. "You couldn't keep him safe, and come onto our territory acting like you have authority?"

[Azereiah]

Brick glared at Misha, believing absolutely nothing she just said. Still, if he were going to try to work towards any sort of understanding or try to help anyone, he'd have to be pretty careful in conversation. There was a time to be an asshole, and this wasn't it.

"Kianna, you should get back to camp, warm up some. You're probably freezing your ass off right now."

[Hawksnest565]

Despite their conversation about Destin earlier, Aya knew that Sacha wasn't heartless. She tried to catch her breath and moved Destin's body to the fire as she recounted what happened as calmly as possible. "I was showing Brick the river, when we found Kianna there. She'd just saved Destin from the river... He was dying." Aya layed Destin by the warm fire, parting some of the jackets which bound him so that Sacha could see him and so she could observe if he been injured.

[xiaomiau]

@Azereiah Misha narrowed her eyes and raised her hands. "Oh, he's a gentleman!" She looked at Kianna. "Look at this chivalry!"

[Fionraella]

@Hawksnest565

Sacha blinks and walks over. "No, not Destin.." She bites her lip worriedly. "You know he and I are friends right?" She chuckles, kneeling down next to him and gently patting his fur. "Let me know if you need me to grab anything to help." She gets to her feet and heads over to her tent to grab more wood for the fire.

[wallaberry]

"I'm not going anywhere. Not until she explains herself." Kianna snorted at Brick. She didn't care for people telling her what to do. At this point, she was angry enough to not even feel the cold.

[Hawksnest565]

Aya couldn't help but give a small smile at Sacha's kindness. Everyday she was grateful that it was Sacha above all others who lead the Rabins. She quickly turned her attention back to Destin's body. In the past people who had fallen into the river tended to get scrapes and bruises from the rocks. Someone as small and delicate as him in this form was bound to have worse injuries than that. She first checked his head, which thankfully showed no signs of trauma, but as she moved down to his torso one side was clearly swelling from impact with something hard. "Sacha, would you mind grabbing me a compress? There should be one on my desk in the medicine tent."

@Hawksnest565

Sacha glances at her and nods. "Yeah, of course." She hurries into the healer's tent and spots the compress. She grabs it and heads back out, grabbing the wood as she passed it. "How bad are his injuries?" She asks, worried for her old friend. She hands the compress to Aya before setting the wood pieces onto the fire.

[xiaomiau]

Misha's eye twitched. "What do you want me to say? What does it matter to you? You clearly don't give a damn about us, so are you asking me so me so you can get all holier-than-thou?" She shook her head."That's so like you guys."

[Azereiah]

Brick looked daggers at Kianna. He was not in the mood for that shit.

"I'll explain her for you, then. That cat did something stupid, you dragged him out of the river, and she's worried about him. She probably thinks we're going to do something unpleasant to him or hold him hostage or some shit like that. Oh, and she's probably going to try to kill one of us if we don't cool this little problem down quickly. Good enough, or would you like to hear it from the end of that dagger of hers?"

He stood up again and picked up the sword, digging the tip into the gravel and looking toward the riverbank.
"If you're not going to get out of here, you freezing to death isn't my problem."
