She blushes and stammers.
Oh- I- I'm so sorry...
She looks at the boy. That splinter has got to hurt. She leaves the shards in her own arms there a while, gets up and walks towards him.

He grumbles to himself, then glares at her when she gets closer.
Hey- what are you doi- hey, stay the Hells away from me!
He backs away further, holding his fists up in defence.
Stay away from me- hey! Go away- stop right there- stay away from me you- bitch!

.. huh?
She smiles weakly, almost shyly.
That's the best you can do? You know, back home in Lemin's Creek...
She still smiles at him, then suddenly her hand flashes towards him, grabs his fist and with a quick move twists his arm to his back, turning him around. He cries out.
... they used to say much worse things. Some of them even knew Orc.
She blushes.
I- I'm sorry, didn't mean to hurt you...
She grabs his other hand and pins it on his back too, holding it with the same hand, then pulls his head up by pulling his hair and also putting that in the hand she is already pinning his arms with. With her free hand, she plucks the fragment out of his cheek, puts it on the table, then takes her time in picking out every single shard out of his arms and legs, even though the legs are a bit harder. After that, she gets up slowly, pulling him along.
You need to get those wounds checked.
She never heeds the foul words coming out of his mouth.

He keeps screaming, shouting and cursing at her. His arms hurt! Pulling his hair hurts!
Let me go you-
A long stream of curses follows. Eventually when she pulls him up and drags him along to the priests, he is all out of curses, and he is just crying in a helpless rage. He bites at the priest, and kicks at the girl. They never heed his protestations. They're not listening to him at all. He cries out. No one is listening.

When he is all healed, she looks at him.
You are very sticky. You need a bath or the flies will eat you.
Without further ado, she takes him to the part of the church where the priests keep wooden tubs. There are quite a few people being bathed here. She blushes as she drags the boy to one of those tubs, but without further hesitation she throws him into it with clothes and all.

NO I D- AAACK!!
He cries and gets a mouthful of bathwater. He coughs, though not of illness this time, and spits and splutters while his clothes get ripped off of him and he gets a fast and effective cleaning. His hair, sticky and messy and too long, gets a fast attack with a pair of scissors. Snip snip and the locks his mother used to run her hand through, when she didn't feel like ignoring him, fall past his face and his back. He cries out, lashes out, but he never breaks free. After a while, she lets go of him, and the unexpected release plunges him back into the bathwater. He splutters. By the time he sits up again and looks around, the white-haired girl is nowhere to be seen. And neither are his clothes.

She lets go of him and he plunges back into the bath. Before he can come up and attack her, she grabs the clothes and runs off, tripping over the treshold as she leaves this part of the church. She goes looking for someone in control- anyone- but she can't find any of the really high-up clerics at the moment. She eventually comes across Kartio.
Uhm... Uh...
She blushes.
Uh, exuse me, Mr Fatali..?

+Kartio checks on Izlude's foot and casts another spell. The bone mends and the foot returns to its proper location.+ Ok, that should help. I still suggest you stay careful when walking on it, and I also suggest not walking on it for at least another day. Anyways, stay here, in this bed. I've got other patients to deal with and another priest will be by to help you with anything you need. +Kartio stands and runs off to help with other patients, many much more severe than a newly repaired hand or foot.+ Thanks.
*After Kartio leaves, Izlude looks his foot over. It looked ok... he started to get up to get out of here, but he had a hard time moving. He was so tired... he sighed and put his head back against the pillow and quickly fell asleep.*

+Kartio gestures for her to wait right now, unless it was really, really important.
He sends the last of his healing magics through a patient and chats with the patient for a short amount of time. When done with that, he turns and gives Charith a tired smile.+
What is it, Charith?

She waits patiently while plucking shards out of her arms and throwing them in the trash bin, then looks at his face.
Er- you need to rest- but uhm- well I have this boy here, and he er- he needs new clothes, and he needs to rest and- and a home but he's not very- hm- cooperative...

+Kartio looks at the clothes and thinks.+
You need rest too, Charith.
+He glances at her arms.+
Healing, too. Go see to those wounds after you're done talking to me.
So, he doesn't want to stay or anything? It's kinda hard to keep someone against their will, even if it is good for them. Well, we'll keep him here for the night, but we need to find his parents if they're still alive. After that, there isn't much I can do on it. I can check with Julia, see what she can think up.

Y- yes sir.
Nods.
Yes sir. Shall I try to see what- hm- what I can get out of him? About his parents?

+Kartio nods.+
Yeah. Try to get to know him, too. If he has a friend here, he'll be more willing to stick around or come back if he ever gets in trouble.
+He glances at one of the patients and grabs a priest hustling by.+
Go see to that lady over there. Looks like she was just brought in. I'll be there in a moment.
"Yes sir."
+The priest scurries off and helps the woman in question while Kartio turns back to Charith.+
Anything else?

Shakes her head.
No sir. Can I get you- er, anything, coffee, tea..?

Post by Kartio Fatali on Sept 10, 2004 18:37:07 GMT -5
+Kartio smiles and nods.+
Some tea, please. Never liked coffee. Get those wounds looked after first, though, or I ain't drinking anything you try to give me.
+Kartio moves over to the woman and the other priest and chats with her, helping where he can and sending the priest to get some medicines while he directs her to a bed.+
