((All done by memory so.. not as good. :<))
His head hurt, the pounding still not receding from when he got slammed into the floor. His breath came out in hard, quick wheezing pants. He heard voices… a new one he’d not heard before. A female?
“Ruru… Ruru ok?â€
Through drooped eyes and the drying blood, Kage could see a pink haired female Miqo’te before him. His own familiar with aetheric manipulation allowed him to see that she was the only to give his head some small relief, enough so that he could get Ruru and himself to the infirmary. He could get them there.. It’d hurt, but it could be done.
His ears caught onto a voice he recognized. A female’s… a familiar female Roegadyn’s voice. He winced in pain as he asked, “Denn? Why…â€
He was shushed as he heard her tell the Miqo’te that she wasn’t of much help. That he’d needed healing not an egi. He tried to give Denn a glare, feeling the the pain that he’d felt the night of the ball. “Na.. Nat told me...â€
Kage was hushed once again, this time in a firmer voice. She told him that she’d take him and Ruru to get healed. “No. No… Can get healed s’mwhere else.â€
Denn disagreed with him once more, telling him she’d take them to the NB HQ. Kage stopped protesting, remembering how they’d helped Natalie and Kayah before with other things. NB was safe… that would be good.. it would be better than going to the healers in the infirmary.
Nodding in acceptance, Denn teleported the three to the HQ. Carried by Denn, Kage realized that she hadn’t walked into the NB HQ but instead to a different house in the ward. Denn placed him on a couch as he saw that a female Miqo’te in a robe was waiting for them. Ah… Remi? He believe it was. She was there at NB HQ when Nat had placed manacles on Roen as they got her to reveal what she thought was so bad. She was a healer?
“Ruru’s eye… be saved?†Kage murmured. He wanted to know. He needed to know.
He closed his eyes at the pain he felt, his arm still cradled closely to his chest. Some of the blood had caked and dried. He could hear that Ruru was most likely going to be losing an eye but… it felt like Kage’s stomach had been gutted with a fist.
This was all his fault.
“Denn carry him downstairs, I’ve got the supplies there.â€
Kage saw that Denn was concerned with Ruru. He was too. Oh by the Twelve he was too. It was all his fault. Suri had told him that he was in danger and by the Twelve, Ruru saved his life at the cost of his own eye it seemed. Ruru was injured because of him. Denn hadn’t moved quite yet so Kage slowly got off the couch and made his way down where he saw Remi went. He staggered and swayed, bracing himself against a wall with his uninjured arm.
“Denn, I said to carry Kage downstairs but if you can’t bring down the right Lalafell, at least bring down the other!â€
Remi motioned for Kage to take a seat on a bed, “That armor’s got to get taken off, it’s in the way.â€
Kage nodded as Remi helped him take off his surcoat and gauntlets carefully. The act jostled and jarred his arm and pain shot up once more as he grit his teeth. Denn made her way down with Ruru in tow.
“What in the hell happened here anyway?†Remi asked.
Denn answered, “I was just leaving Quicksand after a few drinks when I came upon these two hurt.â€
Kage slowly nodded his head, “Was… gonna just go to the Infirmary but Denn said she’d take us to the Night Blades HQ.â€
Denn shook her head, “Last I heard, they wanted to kill me.â€
Kage frowned, looking at her with narrowed eyes, “What? Denn we need to talk about things, like the ball for one.â€
Denn disagreed with him, shaking her head once more. “We’ll talk about that later. I’m gonna go, it’s too close to the NB.â€
Kage frowned, but Remi was the one to say something. “What? Denn you can’t just ask me for a favor and then drop two wounded Lalafell on my lap!â€
“That’s why I asked for a favor!â€
Before anyone could say anything, Denn ran up the stairs and away from them. Kage winced once more, cracking some of the dried blood on his head. He groaned as Remi brought out an acrid smelling liquid and helped clean his wounds. After wrapping his head, she took a look at his snapped arm.
“At least it’s a clean break… We can set it but it’s painful. I can put you under but it’ll be for a few hours.â€
A few hours? Kage had an idea about Remi but he certainly did not trust her. She was helping him a lot for sure, but this wasn’t even the Night Blades HQ. He did not want to be here any longer than he needed to be. “No… no I can take the pain. Just do it.â€
Remi took a small bit of leather and rolled it into a tube. She offered it, “Bite into this.â€
Kage sighed and took the bit with his uninjured hand before placing it in his mouth. He bit into it. He gave Remi a nod.
“I’d give you a count but then you’d be ready for it…†Remi took hold of Kage’s snapped arm and Kage didn’t say anything else but nodded once more.
In a quick span of maybe three seconds, Remi snapped Kage’s arm back into place with a sickening crunch sound. “MMMMGHHHRRRKK!!!†Kage bit into the leather piece, his eyes rolling a bit before he closed them. He panted a bit, opening his eyes and mouth so that the leather bit dropped into his lap. His breath was ragged.
“Do you want to let this heal magically or naturally?†Remi asked Kage. He closed his eyes thinking about what it meant. To heal it magically would mean he would not need to worry about not having his shield.. but it would make the break weak. If he let it heal naturally, the break would be able reform. If it was truly needed, at least the reformation would be strong as a magical healing would finish it cleanly and quickly. If need be, using it while injured would make it strong but easy to break.
As Remi then moved to help Ruru, Kage thought about what his next course of action was going to be. He would need to keep Natalie appraised of the situation but he didn’t think he was going to be of much use in Ul’dah injured as he was. He would need to put in a request for medical leave with Ser Jenlyns… and he’d need to send Natalie a letter.
Kage refocused as Remi fixed his arm into a sling. He said his thanks, slowly and carefully picking up his weapons and equipment with his uninjured arm. “Thank you, again. Thank you.â€
“Now if you don’t need to be somewhere, can you tell me what the hell happened?†Remi asked.
Kage paused and closed his eyes. He murmured out his answer. “Kayah got attacked the night of the ball, I came up just as he got stabbed in the back. I think the attack was meant to silence me.â€
“Who’s Kayah?â€
“Kayah is a dear friend of mine… it doesn’t matter. I don’t know anything more than that. Thank you, again, for all your help.â€
“Take care of that arm.â€
Kage nodded to Remi, as he walked upstairs and out of the house. He winced, sweat dropping down his neck as he pulled a shard out with his injured arm. He closed his eyes and exhausted himself as he teleported to the Ul’dahn Aetheryte Plaza. He side-eyed the Brass Blades guarding the plaza but gave them a small, courteous nod. Corruption was rampant but not all Blades were.
He slowly made his way to Captain Jenlyns’s office. Presenting himself, as straight as he could without swaying, Kage opened his mouth but he was cut off.
“Ser Kiryuu? What happened to you?â€
Kage saluted as best as he could with his arm in a sling and answered, “Was attacked Ser, as I walked through Hustings Strip to Pearl Lane. Had my head bashed and the arm was snapped, Ser.â€
Jenlyns shook his head, “By the Twelve that looks nasty. Magic won’t do you as much good as rest would be. I assume you took a stop at the Infirmary?â€
Kage shook his head in the negative, “No Ser. I.. wanted to request some medical leave Ser. I’ll head to the Infirmary if need be.â€
The captain shook his head and answered, “You’ll have it Ser Kiryuu. Nasty business so soon after you helped guard her Grace and after you were sworn. Go to the Infirmary and get some pain-relieving potions. That looks like your head took a pounding from the floor and you’ll need time for that arm to set.â€
Kage winced slightly and nodded, “Will do Ser. Thank you.â€
Kage took one last detour. His head pounded and he had to force himself from hitting the pavement once more. He wrote out a letter, cursing how small the mail he could send through the Delivery Moogles must be.
Dropping his equipment on the floor, Kage took two steps before he collapsed on his bed unconscious and exhausted.
His head hurt, the pounding still not receding from when he got slammed into the floor. His breath came out in hard, quick wheezing pants. He heard voices… a new one he’d not heard before. A female?
“Ruru… Ruru ok?â€

Quote:Info is solid. Almost died today. Had my head smashed and arm in a sling. Denn came by and brought me to Remi to get healed. Ruru saved my life. His eye, it's gone. No clues on who the miqo'te who attacked me was
Dropping his equipment on the floor, Kage took two steps before he collapsed on his bed unconscious and exhausted.
