Renewal

[Xiomara]

Blinking in surprise she wouldn't struggle, instead reaching into her boot to retrieve the athame. "Trust me, I would have mauled you if I really wanted to." There were tiger stripes flaring to life on her already slightly tanned skin, but she ignored them and sliced at her arm, with that free hand she applied salve to her own wound which would stop bleeding and the skin would begin to knit itself back together. "It's from a cosmic flower native to my homeland. It's empowered by the Gods and blessed by the stars. I promise there is no side effect, except for smelling minty."

He released her hand and put his back down beside him.
"Alright I will sit still like a good boy" he smiled relaxing again. "Personally I think that Adele did a good stitching job even though it was kinda her fault in the first place"

[Xiomara]

Nodding she'd dab the salve on his stitches. "She did an excellent job. Why was it her fault?" Making note to meet Adele, Xiomara continued to gently massage the cream in, "I'm going to remove the stitching as they heal, okay?" It was her way of asking permission before bringing a knife to his already delicate neck.

[Deleted]

"Sure sure do what ever. It was her fault because they were after her and I got in the way" he shrigged slightly. "Its no big deal though its over and done with now no harm done, she helped me afterwards so I forgive and forget"

[Xiomara]

There was a pause in her actions while she tried to get the laughter under control. "Her fault for getting chased and her fault for your intervention, for YOUR decision? I'm sure she's glad you're so benevolent." Smiled, cutting each stitch when that portion of his neck was healed. "You'll be back to your handsome self in no time, minus one possible scar."

[Deleted]

"People chase things like us for a reason. She had just killed a resident in my apartment building" he would have shrugged but he was being a good boy and staying still while she pulled his neck about.
"Hahahahahaha I have not been called handsome since I were a boy of twenty"

[Xiomara]

"Why would she do something like that? Were they human?" Fingers dipped into the salve and applied another coat, holding the athame in her mouth she pinched his skin together so it would heal seamlessly. Once again his laughter was contagious and she smiled up him after going back to clipping the last of the stitches. "You are handsome though, boisterous too. Not that its a bad thing."

[Deleted]

"She is a succubus or something, needs to drain people for energy or something along those wobbly lines" he tried to explain though he didn't actually really know himself.
He sat still even though he itched to get back up and move again knowing there was a lot to do.
"I will take all of that as a compliment and say thank you" he grinned.

[Xiomara]

"See? You do know how to take compliments." Finishing up she pat his shirt back against his collarbone, bandaged the wound and then took his hand, setting the balm in it. "You keep this, apply liberally, it should finish healing you up in a few days." Stepping back she put her supplies away, sensing how antsy he had gotten. "Might I suggest taking a moment or two to rest?"

[Deleted]

He looked down at the balm as she placed it in his hand. Raising it to have a look he turned it here and there twisting it until he was satisfied it wouldn't bite him. Putting it in his pocket he looked at her "Why?" he looked puzzled with her suggestion.
"I was running around all over the place before I came across you"

[Xiomara]

"That's exactly why, because everyone is running themselves ragged. The city needs time to recover as do we. Events are too fresh right now and I fear coven members might be wanting revenge. Some sooner than others. We'll need help restraining them." Rocked back on her heels and pulled her bag on before meeting his eyes again. "I know I want revenge for what they did to my home."

[Deleted]

He shook his head slowly at what she said "Yeah you and the others probably do not. This was not my home, I came to protect the ones I cared for I was to late is it as simple as that" he stretched out seeing as she wouldn't let him up.
"I will save Daton and I will bring him home that is as far as my vengance goes. I just like to be either moving around or hard core mellow"

[Xiomara]

"Hardcore mellow. And don't argue with a healer, or I'll sit on." Chuckled, then sobered up some and returned to the subject of Daton. "What....what has happened to Daton? Why do you need to save him?"

[Deleted]

He stayed down he couldn't get mellow not in a million years, not until everything was done and settled.
"You haven't seen him around the coven. That is because he isnt here. A seer as powerful as some from the Death family are a great prize to have don't you think" he rubbed his forehead the subject actually bringing his mood down to a simmer of anger, he promised Daton's mother many years ago he would look after his best interest before the woman had died.
"The ancients thought the same thing"

[Xiomara]

Fingers dug into her thighs and the color of her moss-green eyes became flecked with blue and gold. Calming her inner beast she chewed thoughtfully on her lower lip. “I’m coming with you, and that’s not up for debate. Daton is my friend as much as he is…whatever he is to you.” Seeking to release the tension she reached up and ruffled her own hair, a sure sign she was agitated and planning something. “I know how it works with Seers. Before I became this….dead-demon thing I was a clan member and knew all too well the power of a Seer and their hard life. Some are driven mad by the gift…like Kenshu. But she’s still there and so is Daton. So I’m coming with you.”
