His vision swarmed, it wasn't the first time he received a head injury but that didn't mean that he developed some sort of resistance towards them, a concussion was nasty damage that couldn't just be swept under the rug and forgotten like that, it took extensive medical care and continuous monitoring to make sure it didn't develop into something more severe, Vero always said that concussions were always a factor to look out for because they were easily missed if no- FUCK! he was doing it again! [color=6ecff6][i]"Focus, focus."[/i][/color] He was on his back having rolled after being kicked by the ninja wannabe, he managed to pass Zell's defense by [s]Clive was dead[/s] [i]Deal with it later[/i] -He managed to pass Zell defense but Adam managed to restrain him and then Thing showed up, some kind of malformed centaur by its looks then- [color=6ecff6][i]"MacKenzie, its going for Mackenzie!"[/i][/color] He watched with horror how the assassin started sprinting in MacKenzie's direction, he was going to kill her [s]just like he killed Cli[/s] [b][i]Deal with it later[/i][/b] -only for Zell to appear out of nowhere and make them both miss the strike by a few inches. At once he felt some tension leaving his core as the both of them lunged for the ninja in synchrony. Said tension returned with a vengeance as he remembered Lilliana's current state. Looking around he caught a glimpse of Adam utilizing his plant control to make the roots drag Lilliana to an improvised defense at the same time that Joji decided to distract the Centaur. Getting on four he wasted no time using his light spell against the beast to provide some advantage to Joji and making a signal for Arthur to help him, those two had the greatest chance of bringing down the thing just as Mac and Zell worked well against the Ninja. Once the spell was on its way he crawled as fast as he could towards Lilliana. Reaching her fallen form he gave a nod to Adam, they would depend on him to keep any threats away during the process, once he was sure the other man was prepared he started to get to work but paused. There was something... strange about her, a feeling similar to the one he felt whenever he cast Undaya Blessing but much more formless, sort of reaching towards something but there appeared to be something missing, a critical piece that didn't let the, the [i]conexion[/i] solidify. He shook his head, whatever it was it didn't matter, what was important was treating her injuries as fast as possible to grant her the possibility of surviving. As quickly as possible he grabbed a small knife from his pack and removed all elements of clothing obstructing the injuries, the good news was that the stab wound was a clean cut, with no jagged edges or hacked-away pieces, just a direct hit that entered and exited the body, it looked somewhat similar to how the diagrams in Vero books described a stab wound but cleaner if he was to judge, seems the Ninja ability made the blade wound easier to treat, ironically enough. The bad news was that all the lighting that she discharged provoked light burns around her torso [s]He could sympathize[/s] [i]Not now![/i], they didn't appear life-threatening so he gave priority to the puncture. As he analyzed he never stopped talking in a clear voice, Vero was always adamant that keeping a patient conscious was up there in the list of needs, alongside not making things worse or fucking up. [color=6ecff6]"Hey, HEY!, Look at me, everything is going to be alright, you are going to be running around before you even notice"[/color] Time to start. Rolling her so she laid on her side he started talking [color=6ecff6]"So Lily -can I call you Lily?- Great! So Lily how do you feel now that you can do magic stuff?"[/color] First thing, clear the entry and exit with a small cloth and some water from his canteen, it will get dirty during the process but better if it is blood than dirt [color=6ecff6]"Is jarring isn't it? Suddenly knowing stuff"[/color] He almost flinched while analyzing the wound, it was directly under the heart and it missed the lungs by a small margin but a little lower and it would have performed her liver which would have been a death sentence [color=6ecff6]"I sort of imagine shelves with books and each book is a spell, how do you imagine them?"[/color] Keep her distracted, she is already becoming paler but the bleeding doesn't appear to be quite as severe as before, clothing must be in effect then. Rummaging through his pack he pulled a needle, some tread, and some of the medicine he received from the Assistant back in Homas, none of it is what he should be using, the needle and the tread are not sterilized and the antiseptic paste is not as strong as he would have liked for this type of injury but a beggar couldn't be a chooser [color=6ecff6]"Things here are a lot different from how they were before, aren't they? Speaking of, what did you use to do before all of this?"[/color] He started bending the needle and tying the tread, then he cleaned the blood once more [color=6ecff6]"Hey how do you think the city will look once we reach it? I bet it looks exactly like Homas but bigger"[/color] Entry or exit? Which one to focus on first? [color=6ecff6]"I think the thing I look forward the most to is a bed and a shower, what about you?"[/color] Exit, is slightly more open than the other, using the needle he started suturing the wound, one stitch, tie it, cut the tread, clean the wound and start again. Over and over he continued making sure to never stop talking while patching her up [color=6ecff6]"Now that I think about it, do you think they sell your favorite food in Valheim? I doubt they sell zacahuil or tamales but I could settle for some tacos"[/color] Suture is done, its time to apply the paste, it will hopefully drive away any risk of infection [color=6ecff6]"Thinking about it, where are you from? I know Mac is French, Joji is Japanese and I think Zell is English so counting my Mexican ass we are a really varied bunch, you seem American or Canadian, did I guess right?"[/color] Bandages, he needed bandages! Wher- His shawl! Controlled movements untied his shawl from his shoulders and he proceeded to tear it into a single strip of cloth with the knife, then he fastened the strip around Lilliana as an improvised bandage. Once he make sure the bandage was snug he tied the end and invoked his healing spell two times in a row, he wasn't sure if casting it more would make it better but he was not ready to take any chances. The moment the spell settled on the bandages he fell on his ass and took deep breaths, the stress finally getting to him but even so never once did he stop talking. [color=6ecff6]"You are going to be okay, everything is going to be fine, you will recover, it's okay..."[/color] Perhaps the person he was trying to convince was himself
