Who: Cloud, open to all
When: Day 7, late evening
Where: Outside the door of Apartment C
What: Cloud is limping back from his failed exploration attempt to nurse his wounds.

[So. Snakes suck. And he was stupid for taking one head-on.

Cloud is leaning against the door to Apartment C, taking a break from dragging his sorry ass back to a safer place. He winces, taking care not to put pressure on his broken leg. There are red marks on his arm as well, from where the snake gripped and tried to crush the limb. He was glad he could come away with both arms intact, at least. Lesson learned; don't underestimate the snakes.

He'll continue his limping as soon as he figures out where to go next.]

[…well, this totally validates his self preservation.]

[Supposes he should do something. Will approach!] Let's get you off your feet. Happen to know where there are medical supplies?

[A little surprised, but allows the boy to come near.]

I'm not sure. Didn't ask around.

I'll look after ya get somewhere ya can rest.

[Despite the lame situation he's in, Cloud's kind of amused at this kid trying so hard to help him...]

I'll go there. [ He nods over one of the apartments. ] It should be fine.

[Shut up, I'm new at this worrying over others thing.]

Right. Let's get ya over there. [H-helping you get there.]

[He appreciates the help, limping over inside the apartment and settling down against the wall-- ow ow ow.

Okay, settling down carefully.]

[Okay, sitting, good. Now he's looking you over. Okay, limited supplies, so what definitely needs attention. Arms, that's bruising, maybe get some cool water from the weird cold box thing. But his leg.]

How bad is your leg?

[Bluntly:]

Broken.

[...yeah, that'll need something.]

I'll be right back.

[And gonna go see if he can find those medical supplies. Which...isn't much luck, just some bandages, but does return in a few minutes with a few strips and a few branches from from of his own gathering. Hey, if he couldn't break it without his sword, should be good enough for a splint, right?]

So what did you run into? [Will get to work on that splint.]

A snake.

[....]

A big one. It got my leg before I could get away.

Ah. Yeah, those sort of things can wrap ya up pretty tight.

[This sounds reasonable. He got pelted with rocks by a giant bird.]

[Also, trying not to be too harsh with the splinting, but still probably pulling the ties pretty tight.]

[Winces, but doesn't say anything. It should be tight anyway, to keep the splint from moving around. This was the best they could do for now, he supposed.]

[He's no healer. All he's got is basic field first aid. =|a]

[He sits back when he's done.] Nothing else dire I missed, right?

No, it's just the leg.

[Cloud takes a look at the work. He feels a little bad for burdening a kid with his injury like this, but he's grateful for the effort.]

Not bad.

[Meh, kid's broken enough legs, about time he actually help with one.]

Never had the chance to do it much, but the sticsk are pretty tough, so it should hold. Just have to keep off it until it heals...

However long that takes. [How long DOES it take for bones to heal...?]

[Cloud gives his leg A Look. As if that'd help it heal. He hopes it doesn't take too long.]

...thanks.

[I am new at this, all right. It's a bit daunting.]

[Stupid new experiences.]

...welcome.

[And that's STILL WEIRD. Getting thanks.]

[Goes silent, thinking about how to get the snake next time. How he needs to adjust his fighting style.]

[...just kind of sitting here. Do I just leave now?]

[Oh yeah, that kid.]

Hey.

Yeah?

I'm going to rest for a while.

...if you need anything, you can ask. I owe you one.

... [Well, I certainly wouldn't say no to that.]

[Nods.] All right. Just call if ya need anything.

[And will stand up.] See ya. [And he'll leave you alone.]
