[color=aba000]"You have plenty of choices"[/color] Cody said softly, [color=aba000]"Like...like you could come live at my place...my folks won't mind having you both..."[/color] his voice was soft, a little shaky as if he wasn't sure how they would take it. Yet either way, Cody wasn't going to let Aron go back there alone. He took the kit from Syleste, feeling like he'd done something wrong there...he hadn't meat to offend her, in anyway. He'd just wanted to help...[color=aba000]"I'm sorry, Syleste, I didn't think...Please don't hate me"[/color] 

He gave a soft sigh, catching Gage's look. He stared back, passive a moment. What must it be like, to have a sibling you'd do anything for? Cody was an only child. But he knew he'd do anything for his friends. For Aron. [color=aba000]"I'm not going to hurt him, Gage, so can you please stop giving me that look that makes me a little, well, terrified?"[/color] He gave Gage a small smile, so he'd know that Cody was trying to be humerous. No doubt failing, but still. 

Seeing the damage to Gage's back, Cody clenched his hands a moment, [color=aba000]"That bitch"[/color] it slipped out, but Cody didn't seem to care. He wanted to...wanted to go, hunt down the vile woman, and show her a piece of his mind, but he knew that that wouldn't do any good. Cody did his best to clean up the injuries, grimacing over every cut, every bruise, sure it must hurt like hell, but he knew it had to be done, to prevent infection at the very least. 

What had that woman done, whipped Gage?

[color=aba000]"You'll both come home with one of us when we get back. Neither of you are going back there"[/color] He didn't know how it would all work out, but he knew they could figure it out. He did his best to bind up the injuries to Gage's back, He spied the scratches on Gage's chest, which didn't seem quite so bad, thankfully, but as Gage had engulfed Syleste in his grasp, Cody decided they could wait...[color=aba000]"Hey, Syleste? There's a few scratches, if I show you, can you just clean them? I don't think they need to be bound"[/color] If Syleste would let him, Cody would guide Syleste's hand to the scratches, figuring that Gage could help guide her if needed. He knew he'd made a mistake before, and he desperately wanted to try and fix it. 

Once done, Cody turned back to Aron, gently removing the glasses completely now, he cleaned the cuts, careful not to get anything in Aron's eyes, it was a task to figure out how to bind the slash near Aron's eye, and he spent a moment making a bandage with tape, and a dressing, cutting it to the shape it needed. [color=aba000]"There"[/color] He kissed Aron lightly once he was done, and hugged him tightly once more.
