[sub]a collab feat. [@agentmanatee] and [@Aerandir][/sub] [h1][center]"Lorelai can be stupid sometimes"[/center][/h1] Sousiel limped across the battle field. It was littered with corpses, some bore rending wounds from her claws, some fell to Alexina's pack, others had markings from more 'traditional' weaponry. The ones that interested her however where the ones that looked as if they'd frozen to death. Sousiel recognized Charon's handiwork. Surely her mistress wouldn't be foolish enough to summon death in her condition. Her heart sank as she spotted Lorelai laying on the ground amidst a small group of frozen bodies. She quickly made her way over. A quick check revealed her to be alive at least. Genoveve made her way into the camp as the spirits began to return to her body slowly, coming back from their havoc causing and Hell-raising amongst the hunters, she always hated the feelig of them returning to her body... it was so cold and jarring, especially if alot came back at once. It was particularly jarring whenever Yeris left and came back, being bound to her and as powerful as she was. As she walked along the field of corpses she found one particularly unlucky hunter still alive, rather badly injured though. Genoveve walked up to him, kneeling before his bleeding form with a sad look on her face, placing her hand upon his cheek,[color=f49ac2]"Oh, you are so cold young hunter... here, I will give you warmth again."[/color], her eyes glowed green as she whispered words in the spirit tounge, a small ball of the possesors left her mouth and dissipated into the hunter. He shuddered for a moment, his eyes rolling back, before coming back down a luminescent green. He stood up with his new mistress and she smiled, she didn't get to keep a thrall very often. She couldn't see Yeris at the moment, who was no doubt beating on some dead body for fun, but she saw Lorelai and Sousiel kneeling over her covered in cuts and the viscera of men. Genoveve quickly ,ade her way over, her new thrall in tow, kneeling across from Sousiel over Lorelai,[color=f49ac2]"Is she alive? What does she need?"[/color] Sousiel started a bit at the sound of Genoveve's voice. [color=92278f]"Uh...yeah, she's alive."[/color] Sousiel racked her brain for what to do. [color=92278f]"Something for pain...everything for pain actually. Something to promote blood circulation, and maybe a prayer or so if your faithful."[/color] Genoveve nodded and turned to her new thrall, she spoke quickly in the spirit tounge and the thrall ran to the woods. Genoveve reached down to Lorelai and quickly ripped open the front of her dress, wishing to see what possible damage there could be. Seeing nothing she sighed in relief and withdrew one of the glass vials she always kept with her as the thrall returned, its arms full of herbs and plants. Genoveve quickly sifted through them, crushing a few up into the vial. She whispered more in the spirit tounge and the vial heated, liquifying its contents,[color=f49ac2]"This may burn her mouth sslightly but it should eliminate most all the pain.",[/color] she opend Lorelais mouth and poured the hot orange liquid into it, rubbing her throat so she would swollow. She then returned to her dress, sighing at the corset she was wearing,[color=f49ac2]"She needs to have unrestricted breathing."[/color], Genoveve began to undo her corset. Alexina slowly looked around at the aftermath of the battle. Her body weak with the blood she lost, but she managed to stay awake. She started to look for the other witches that fought, but mostly Lorelai. Who was her really only friend she had. She noticed Genoveve working over someone, ripping her dress off. She reconized the dress, even in this darkness. Her eyesite was impeccible in this moonlight. She hurried over to catch Genoveve undoing her corset. Her cheeks blushed at the sight...it had been a while since she had even been this close to seeing her former lover Naked. But the blush was not just of that thought, but it was hot anger boiling up, even though Lorelai was not her own lover, she still did not like the fact anyone would want to put their grubby hands on her when she couldn't do anything. [color=00a651]"Get your hands off her!"[/color] She growled dangerously, as a lioness protecting her own. She ripped a cloaked of a dead man, still covered in his blood, but she didn't care. She shoved Genoveve away and covered Lorelai with the cloak. She knelt over her, each arm on either side of her as she glared at Genoveve. She then placed a hand on Lorelai's neck, to feel for her pulse. While she asked,[color=00a651] "What were you doing?" [/color]She hissed. Sousiel growled at Alexina lowly. [color=92278f]"Trying to save my stupid mistress' from whatever dark fate she's invited for herself."[/color] She removed the cloak roughly. [color=92278f]"Now let her work would you? Lorelai won't mind her modesty over her incredibly stupid life."[/color] Alexina hissed at Sousiel...[color=00a651] "Don't you dare call her stupid..."[/color] She glanced over at Genoveve[color=00a651] "What do you need?" [/color]She said, not really wanting to let her near her still. But she did worry more for her life. Genoveve yelped as she was harshly shoved away and saw the glaring and animalistic Alexina over Lorelai's body. It was as Sousiel growled at Alexina that Yeris returned standing behind Genove in the body of the massive hunter, though heavily damaged. She didn't speak, she wished to look like a simple thrall. Genoveve gulped as Alexina asked what she needed,[color=f49ac2]"W-well I need room to examine her as things progress and what she drank wil dull the pain but... if she can't breather deeply it could fill her lungs with gas and damage them... I need to remove her corset."[/color], she slowly crawled back towards Lorelai's body, reaching for the corset to undo the rest of it. She narrowed her eyes as she got close. Her hand suddenly morphed into that of a cougar paw. She then sliced the ribbions that held the corset together. Corsets took forever to get on and off...and If Lorelai's life was in danger...better to get it off quickly.[color=00a651] "There..."[/color]she said. leaving the corset on, as the fabric only covered her, no longer restricting her breathing. Genoveve had hopped back slightly as Alexina had made her hand a paw with claws, afraid she would get slashed. Yeris debated simply smashing Alexina in the face with her massive mornig star... but decided to let Genoveve handle things.[color=f49ac2]"W-well thats... uhm good but... I need access to her chest in case she can't breath properly, and the plated corset is uhm... obscuring her chest rising and falling..."[/color] Alexina ripped the cloak Sousiel had taken off and placed it back over, then she reach under and pulled the plated corset off her. [color=00a651]"There...."[/color] She hissed as she looked at Genoveve.[color=00a651]"unless a cloth is restrictig her breathing..."[/color] she said in a vemous tone, pulling the cloak down far enough that her chest was just enough covered. "Now do your thing." She looked up to the thrall behind her. Her instincts started tingling that this thrall could be a threat. That there was something more behind the mask. She shifted just so to give Genoveve just enough space. while giving herself a good position to pounce and protect Lorelai incase. Sousiel arched an eyebrow at Alexina. 'Vespa might have some trouble on the way' she thought to herself. [color=92278f]"Mi'lady's not stupid you're right..."[/color] Sousiel sighed. [color=92278f]"Perhaps too brave for her own good though. Charon? In her condition and without proper preparation?"[/color] She shook her head. Again Genoveve flinched away from Alexina as she moved and gulped loudly,[color=f49ac2]"Ehm... no a it shoudln't... restrict her...",[/color] she leaned as close as possible, and safe, to observe Lorelai. She breathed normally it seemed, her chest rising and falling slowly, until suddenly it picked up, and she began hyperventilatng. Genoveve's eyes widened and she felt her pulse speeding up quite a bit,[color=f49ac2]"Oh no, it appears the herb may be racting to... something in her, her heart rate is climbing I need to slow it down...",[/color] she bit her lip and looked at Alexina, but decided Lorelai's life was more important. She spoke in spirit again, a blue spectre seemed to lift itslef from her back and dance over Lorelai, before seemingly being sucked into her mouth. Alexina watched Gen as she looked after Lorelai. Her heart jumped into her throat as Gen said oh no. She shook her head... not accepting it. [color=00a651]"Do you even know what you are doing?"[/color] She growled. How ever she did restrain from pushing the girl away again, Despite not liking hte situation, there was nothing much she could offer, as her remidies were only for wounds, not...spiritual or demonic...which is what she thought this was all about. Shifting in her spot as she grew more and more antsy and worried that the girl didn't answer. A sense of helplessness started to come over her again.[color=00a651] "Lorelai hold on dear..." [/color]she muttered... [color=00a651]"You promised...."[/color] she started to rock a little more. Souei's eyes widened as the spirit took up residence in her mistress. "Genoveve...you truly have some serious control over those spirits don't you." She smirked a little. "Alone inside my mistress, poor little thing." She laid a reassuring hand on Alexina's shoulder. As worried as Sousiel was, she'd seen worse. Although not much worse. She put on a half-hearted grin. "Lorelai's seen worse days Alexina, and I'm sure Genoveve will see her through." She turned to Genoveve. "Right?" Genoveve looked at the worried Sousiel and nodded,[color=f49ac2]"Well, that spirit... should clean things up... of course I have no idea whats going on in uhm... inside of her considering her demon bits..."[/color], Genoveve hoped the healing spirit could calm her down... right now she wasn't sure if it could overcome whatever strange biology she had in there. Alexina looked up to Souei as she placed a hand on her shoulder. Trying to calm her. She looked back to Lorelai and rested her own hand on Lorelai's forehead, stroking her hair as she did. Genoveve's words were not reasuring to her, her other hands fingers gripped at the grass below her. As she still rocked slightly. Trying to keep the feeling at bay.[color=00a651] "She has to make it... Lorelai...she's too strong to die...." [/color]She said...mostly to her self to calm her self down. Lorelai's breathing calmed, and as the strange concoction Genoveve had admisnistered took effect being concious was suddenly tolerable, if only just. [color=00aeef]"Hmmm? Did I miss something?"[/color] She said weakly as her eyes fluttered open. [color=00aeef]"Sousiel...why is my chest bared? In front of Genoveve and Alexina?"[/color] Sousiel let out a pent up sigh. [color=92278f]"Someone coved you with a cloak thingy or whatever."[/color] She narrowed her eyes at her mistress. [color=92278f]"Will you ever learn moderation?"[/color] Genoveve exhaled happily as the spirit returned to her body and Lorelai woke up, she blushed as she asked why she was half nude,[color=f49ac2]"Well... we needed to make sure you were breathing steadily and your corset uhm... had to remove your corset..."[/color], she smiled as Yeris decided she had held this host long enough and flew back into Genoveve's body who exhaled sharply. The massive hunter fell over dead as blood spurted from his mouth. "I see, then I presume you're responsible for my currently not-so-miserable state." Lorelai smiled at Genoveve. "Thank you." Alexina let out a massive breath she did not even realize she was holding and swooped down and wrapped her arms around Lorelai's neck, hugging...well her face. Her breasts pushing up against Lorelai's cheeks. After a moment what she realized she was doing and pulled back, tears in her eyes. [color=00a651]"You had me worried Lores.... Why do you take such risks?"[/color] She said,....covered in her own blood. seemed hypocritcal. But... It was Lorelai... Lorelai was smothered breifly by Alexina's breasts, which while not unpleasant was not conducive to conversation. [color=00aeef]"Thirty or more against four hardly seemed equitable, so I thought I'd even the odds a bit."[/color] She coughed a little as she tried - and failed - to sit up.
