Re: The Lobby

[Turns to face the new girl.]

That doesn't mean she has to keep bleeding. I can help a little even if I can't heal it completely.

Re: The Lobby

[balancetheblood]

[ The little girl nods ]

That's good. You'll have to convince her it's a good idea, though.

Re: The Lobby

[justarider]

Aren't you her friend? You should help her too.

[but turning to approach the bleeding girl more slowly.]

Please? I... sorry. I'm Karigan. I'm a knight in Aather and a Green Rider back home. I know how much an injury like that hurts. I really do want to help you.

Re: The Lobby

[balancetheblood]

I never got to meet her. I'm here for you, not anyone else.

[ The teenager doesn't move as you approach, though she doesn't look much like she trusts you. ]

Why? What's in it for you?

Re: The Lobby

[justarider]

Does there need to be something in it for me?

Re: The Lobby

[balancetheblood]

[ She gives you a very pointed "duh" look ] There's always something in it for you when you do something.

So what do you get out of it?

Re: The Lobby

[justarider]

I get a new friend, a new ally. What's your name?

Re: The Lobby

[balancetheblood]

[ She eyes her steadily for a moment, as if trying to figure out how she could get in trouble for answering ]

Dare.

Re: The Lobby

[justarider]

I'm glad to meet you, Dare. How did you get hurt?

Re: The Lobby

[balancetheblood]

Got shot with iron. Died. Whatever.

[ she crosses her arms over her chest ]

I had to keep Devin from shooting Toby.

Re: The Lobby

[justarider]

Died? Who are Devin and Toby?

Re: The Lobby

[balancetheblood]

People.

[ The little girl steps up ]

Devin was a... bad man. They trusted him, and they shouldn't have.

Toby is who we're protecting. She's who brought us here.

Re: The Lobby

[justarider]

[She glances over at the little girl and then back at the older one.]

I'm glad you were able to protect Toby, but... I'm sorry you were...

Is... may I please bandage them?

Re: The Lobby

[balancetheblood]

[ Dare ponders this for a moment, lips pursed, then shrugs ]

Sure, I guess. Whatever.

Re: The Lobby

[justarider]

[She steps forward and pulls out some bandages.]

If you'll lift your shirt out of the way, I can wrap this for you.

Re: The Lobby

[balancetheblood]

[ She stands, and lifts her shirt up. There are three wounds, clustered together, a bit inflamed as though irritated by something unseen. ]

Re: The Lobby

[justarider]

... Were they poisoned?

Re: The Lobby

[balancetheblood]

[ she makes a little disgusted noise. ]

I said it was iron, didn't I? So yeah.

Re: The Lobby

[justarider]

[Checking her back to see if they... came out?]

Oh...

Re: The Lobby

[balancetheblood]

[ There are exit wounds.

The little girl pipes up. ]

We're part of faerie. Iron poisons us, even when we're part human, too.

Re: The Lobby

[justarider]

[at least they're not still in her then. She makes pads out of the bandages and places them over the openings and binding them securely into place.]

I... don't know what to do help with poisoning. I'm sorry.

Re: The Lobby

[balancetheblood]

[ The teenager shrugs one shoulder ]

It can't kill me any more than it already has.

[ beat ]

Thanks. I guess.

Re: The Lobby

[justarider]

It's not a problem. Is that too tight?

Re: The Lobby

[balancetheblood]

[ she shakes her head and lowers her shirt ]

I'm still not supposed to let you upstairs, though. Not without permission.

Re: The Lobby

[justarider]

Can you give me permission?
