Taking the tiniest of moments to collect himself, he rose back up from leaning against the counter just in time to feel Ravenia's hand on his arm gently, he smiled down at her. "dont do anything foolish now, if i have to come save your ass, i'll never let you live it down" he called after her, before he smirked, seeing Marcus bolt into the building he then gave a true smile. he walked over and stood, giving the man a clap on the back, whisper just for him to hear "Good Man" before leaving him to it. yes Marcus was vital to the wall and defense of the city but right now in Tobias's eyes to hell with the wall, Shay needed to see him, needed to know he cared enough to make sure she was alright, and she was going to be fine. stopping his nurse, he wanted to make sure the Children were alright, and when she gave them a clean bill of health that just made the mental puzzle he had, have a few pieces fall into place, while revealing new pieces that yet had a place. thanking her, he then headed down to the room the Children had been placed in, when he noticed the door was closed, that wasnt right, no doors were closed, they always used the Curtains.. Tobias was nursing a small fear of tight, enclosed spaces. Curtains moved with the air, they were opened at the bottom and tops, Doors were solid, he didnt like doors closed. in his mind, he flashed back to that time, Seven years old, a child in the Red Wastes.. he and his Father were with a small group of Nomads, travelers that banded together.. nothing special, just people realizing there was strength in numbers. Tobias didnt like meeting new people, his gift always made people afraid of him.. that night he had been sitting with his father, sharing the days rations and one of the watcher's, who thought himself funny had snuck up behind Tobias, intending to scare him.. and he had.. the moment he jumped and grabbed Tobias, Tobias screamed, thinking it was a Dead.. he'd met them before with his father. he reacted, his skin became as tough as rock, looking almost like the texture of rock and was as tough as rock too.. he screamed, scaring the others and trashed and swung his arms trying to get away.. in a span of a few seconds he had broken the guys arm, and had cleaned his father's clock, catching him across the face with a wild hand. the group hadnt known of Tobias's abilty, and it frightened them, everything frightened those in the Waste.. Tobias was taken that night, his father was held down and they dropped Tobias in a hole, the remains of a dried up well, but it was still deep enough.. he screamed, cried, his body changing over and over again to try to adapt to the situation. he screamed himself horse when Morning came, and his father had climbed down, using some rope and got him out.. but the fear had stuck.. they didnt meet and stay with people and groups after that, the stayed on their own and Tobias never found out how his father had gotten free, but nights later some newly risen dead would have been found around that camp. 

moving to the door, Tobias reached for the knob, but stopped.. Ravenia's words playing in his mind as he supressed that paticular memory of his past. he dropped his hand, if they wanted the door closed, it was fine.. if they tried to leave, well they'd have to come out.. none of the windows opened fully and they'd been barred, just for that paticular situation, couldnt question someone if they could climb out your windows. turning quickly from the door, he went back to where it was all open.. Clo was still resting and recovering, the Russian was going strong but still out of it, a good thing that.. he changed the empty blood for a fresh and full one, then hooked up the Saline drip in the other arm, before covering the man up so he could at least have some form of modest when he woke. Shay was fine and with friends and those that she needed. with nothing else to do, he moved back to his desk, but stopped and went instead to where Shay was. "Marcus im going to go take your place at the wall, you stay here for as long as you need to" he said, meaning it.. the man didnt ask for anything, and worked his ass off, since they were on lock down anyway, there would be no need for opening and closing the doors. "those children are not to leave" looking at Marcus, Fen, Sun and Isam. "Mother wants them to stay put til she can question them, things are not adding up right with all of this. the big man is out cold, and Clo will probably needs more rest, but wake her if you need help with anything alright, everything else, the nurses can handle" and with that he left, sprinting out of the med Center and toward the wall. his bare feet hitting against the ground as he ran forward, grabbing a rope he scaled the side of the wall, and came up and checked out the situation. "damn" even with the killed the two harpies and Jacob had taken down, the mass of them was still large, far larger then Tobias could remember.. noticing movement out among them, he cursed full on, not something he did often. "Son of a Bitch, who let her go out there like that?" seeing Ravenia on her own. "i swear she's trying to get herself killed" and before anyone could stop him, he ran and lept off the side of the wall, dropping right into a large mass of Dead

where he had dropped right into a mass of Dead had collected, those nearest the point of impact was sent stumbling back, then they were forced down to the ground as those behind them moved forward. Tobias rose to his full height and in the span of the drop, he'd changed, and not for the better looking.. he hated fighting the Dead cause, his body protected and adapted to their bites and clawing, and the change wasnt the greatest to look at. he looked as if someone had turned him inside side out, what looked like Muscle and Bone visible, but really it was just his flesh having changed and hardened to protect him from the fall and the Dead collecting around him. he was black and Grey in color.. the muscle looking fibers in between what looked like bone was black, while the bone like covering was a darker Grey. luckly he still had on clothes to keep most of himself covered, only what was exposed was visible. from behind, one of the dead he'd sent flying into he wall from his drop moving and caught him, and tried biting on his shoulder, her rotted teeth shattering, her nails breaking as she tried to claw and dig in, tearing his shirt.. grabbing her head, Tobias pulled her up and over and tossed her away like she was nothing. Tobias kicked his foot out straight ahead, catching one right in the chest.. the force alone would have sent the undead thing flying backwards if it hadnt exploded on contact. he saved fighting as a last resort, prefering to save lives, but seeing Ravenia on her own among all those dead, that had changed big time. stepping forward, he caught two coming in at the sides and slammed them together, their heads like melons being hit, and exploding, he didnt even waste time letting them drop, as he moved forward into the frey, kicking and punching anything that came close to him. he wasnt moving fast however and each step he took left a good print in the hard earth, he was heavy, extremely heavy. a side effect, speed was Sacrificed for strength and endurance.
