Heal Her Or I'll...

[Drew Thornton]

"Second option," Drew suggested with a grimace. He was allergic to asphodel and really didn't want to compound problems by going into anaphalactic shock. "What's in this Moira stuff?" he asked, finding the bottle and reading the ingredients.

Nic ran over to where a glass was sitting and grabbed it. He squeezed too hard and broke it. Luckily it didn't cut him, unfortunately he was turning in a circle looking for another. "I'll find anotha." Nic did see another and grasped it lightly. He ran over to the sink filled it up and then thrust it out for Drew to pour some in. "Pour! Pour!"

[arianna]

Nic's running about was giving Arianna as bad a headache as the broken nose was. She wished there was some way to get him to sit down and let Drew take care of things. That's not to say she didn't appreciate his trying to help. She did, really, but it couldn't be good for him to get worked up over her like this. Especially after the fight he'd just gotten into.

"It's pretty much aspirin," she explained, shrugging lightly. "Nothing in there either of us is allergic to." Unlike some of the other potions...

[Drew Thornton]

Drew took the glass from Nic and poured the recommended dosage. If it had been for himself, he might have added an extra splash, but Ari was pretty tiny and he didn't want to mess with her any more than she already had been.

He handed the glass over to the girl before turning to Nic. "You know what we need? Hot water. Lots of it," he told the boy, knowing they used to send nervous fathers to be to boil water just to get them busy and out of the way. Drew liked and respected the Slytherin, but right now, he felt this was for the better.

[Nicolae Torque]

"Hot water. Right." Nic walked over to where a bedpan was laying and grabbed about 4 of them. He ran to the next room carrying them and turned on the hot water full blast. As the water ran to get it hot Nic leaned against the door frame holding his arm and side. He was more worried about Ari, but his body was taking its toll. He wasn't going to complain though, he had to make sure she was completely fine. Nic saw steam rising from the sink and he thrust a bed pan under the faucet. He placed it on the floor and then thrust another and another. He tried to levitate the pans, but he couldn't concentrate. His stomach was in knots and he was angry as all hell at Hiro and he couldn't figure out where dat darn blasted nurse was. Shouldn't she be sleeping, eating, breathing in the hospice wing?

Nic grabbed the four bedpans and placed two on top of eachother and balanced them. This was more difficult because of his arm that wanted to stay pinned to his side. He made it, but the bedpans were metal and the metal burned his skin. He placed the bedpans besides Ari table and shook his hands trying to cool them. He had a few blisters, but nothing that he couldn't live with.

[arianna]

Arianna raised an eyebrow at Drew's water idea, but it did give Nic something to do. While the boy was off busying himself with filling the water pans, Arianna drank the water/potion mix and immediately felt the aching in her nose begin to calm down. She then instructed Drew how do fix her nose and let him finish cleaning up the rest of the blood. By the time Nic came back with the pans full of water, her face was mostly healed, though still slightly swollen.

"Um....I...don't know if you either of you want to help me with...." Arianna's face turned red. They could assist her with the bruises on her back, but Arianna wasn't so sure if they should, or in Drew's case, would, help her with the ones forming on her chest. "I guess I'll get those myself, but if you'll get the ones on my back..."


{sorry, I forgot to add where the other bruises are }

[Nicolae Torque]

Nic looked at Drew wondering why she was embarassed about bruises on her back. Did she have a scar she didn't tell him about? A tail? Two backs? Another head coming from her back? Nic didn't care, he nodded and motinoed for her to roll over so he could help her with her bruises. "What we spose ta do? Put ice on dem or summin?"

[Drew Thornton]

Drew managed to fix her nose pretty decently but gave a nervous smile when she mentioned the bruising, figuring out exactly where the other bruises might be. He really didn't want anything to do with that and didn't want to be around if Nic decided to take those on either.

But, yeah, he could handle the ones on her back. He handed the jar of bruise cream over to Nic though, figuring it would be a task better suited for the Slytherin.

[arianna]

"The cream should be enough," Arianna replied, motioning to the jar in Drew's hand. It usually cleared up bruises in a jiffy. Unless they were deep ones. Which Arianna now wondered about as she went to move and found herself paralyzed by pain again. A small movement and her whole left side went up in arms, causing her to have to lean to the other side while she caught her breath, new tears forming in her eyes.

"Oh, shoot," she gasped, biting her lip so hard it turned white, her teeth threatening to break the surface. "I don't know how to take care of this."

[Nicolae Torque]

Nic was still confused. She had aching pains in her back. Why didn't she just let him roll her over or lift her and then have Drew take care of her back. As a matter of fact that sounded like a good plan and Nic voiced it. He pushed his arms under Ari and tried to lift, but his own arm wouldn't support her weight and he cried out enough explectives to make a sailor blush. Nic looked at Drew. "How bout you hold Ari close to you, chest to chest, and lift her shirt so I can get her back." Nic was only a little worried that Ari would be thinking thoughts about Drew while in his arms, but Nic had told her if Drew wanted her he would step aside...after him and Drew got into a battle to the death match.

[arianna]

"NO. Please don't. Please..." Arianna squeezed her eyes closed and Nic went to move her, but was fortunate enough that he stopped. She didn't know how much damage was done to her body, but didn't think having either of the boys move her would do her any good. No, she would sit here like this until the pain stopped if she had to.

That was easier said than done, of course. Especially after all the swearing Nic was doing. Arianna was in a bit of a bad position now. She wanted to be sure Nic was okay; wanted to be the one taking care of him, but she couldn't do so when her own body hurt so much. She regretted now that she had even jumped into the fight in the first place. Had she not; if she had just shouted at the boys to stop, using spells if she had to, she would be able to heal Nic's wounds instead of half-sitting/half-laying on this hospital bed waiting to be healed herself.
