[h1][u]Ongoing disaster, uncertainty brewing.[/u][/h1]

As the safe zone was established, it was already starting to get flooded by rescued and injured civilians galore, with a decent amount of people from their group going out of their way to funnel them in. Needless to say, this would keep the cleric with a background in battlefield medicine busy as he could be alongside the other heroic leader in the squad. Hershel was capable of surgery, putting bones back together and binding them like so, sterilizing on the go and a few other things, making as quick of work as possible for any more serious injury with the least amount of magic possible, reserving that for anyone who had a fatal injury of sorts.

A snap of the fingers was all he needed to magically clean his own hands, another one for the tools he was about to use on people from needles to splints fine knives used as scalpels. At hand he also had two odd and shiny powders in hermetic jars, one similar to the color of blood clots with an odd silvery-shine to it and the other which was very much a bright emerald-green.

The first one, when placed over an open bleeding wound would accelerate the clotting process immensely while the other when ingested, would lead to falling asleep within a minute. They were reserved for the most severe cases in which his medicine skills wouldn't make it in time.

As the pair of Duke and retired hero did all they possibly could to save the affected civilians, the clock ticked for the strike teams as they got further embroiled in the conflict. Eventually, as the safe area was forced to grow in size due to the volume of affected, Hershel would be spoken to by the biggest helper he has had in this first aid endeavor in private while treating patients together...

Hershel had raised an eyebrow at first in curiosity, stopping the treatment of a lesser severity individual while carefully listening... noticing where their gaze had moved towards for a moment: The Lex-provided watches. Keeping a serious expression regardless of having caught up to the implications, he would only show a smirk upon listening to the other's conjecture, deciding to do something somewhat unexpected.

[COLOR=#2d6870]"You are overthinking this and instead of worrying too much, you should be focused on the civilian safety... for which, these watches are a cleanliness liability, ugh"[/COLOR] His tone was annoyed and disgruntled, but his expression was a complete contrast, showing a slight smirk and winking towards the retired hero, the disconnect being obviously jarring for anyone watching who didn't catch onto the intentions.

[COLOR=#2d6870]"Here, hand yours over as well since I saw you stitching people, I'll keep it safe for now"[/COLOR] Unhooking his own watch from his wrist with a bloody hand placing it within what seemed to be an odd magical bag... he offered his hand towards the retired hero, retaining the same coy expression from before completely unlikely his tone.

[COLOR=#2d6870]"I don't want blood from others getting stuck and spreading due to that thing, come on."[/COLOR] Hurrying the other with another wink and an annoyed and rushed tone, their meeting would be a stealthy one with a proper reason for it regardless of possible eavesdropping.
