@Lamvin @CloseEnough @Kitrine (Feel free to continue whenever you can, sorry my characters are both tied up at the moment or i'd have them come visit/be the trapped Anima XD)
@Kamiden (we didn't go too far without you, no worries, just wanted to post for Dan and Nanza in the same post.. its so much more streamlined that way. XD
Dan glanced to Xafina, running and jumping across rooftops, practically sailing through the air as she streamed over the buildings. Yes, it was probably nice and freeing up there in the sky. He sometimes wondered how it felt to be a Bird Anima. But then again, he loved staying on the ground, rooted to the earth where he knew he was safe. He didn't really want to see how Bird Anima lived. He gave her a soft smile as he held his trunk upright, the water sloshing around inside was cool and inviting. Much more delicious than some crappy Alcohol. Not this time though, no sneaky a drip of water. Not until his water could be put to good use.
He took one look at the cart, the one which Xafina had snagged a few green leaves from. Right.. medical herbs. He couldn't identify them by look, but he did recognize one of the larger leafy green ones as being used on himself at one point to treat a wound. Medical herbs... good thinking, Xafina. Something to treat Reptile would be best. Though did she have enough??? He thought about taking the cart with them but decided against it. He was concentrating on keeping the water in his nose right now anyways, he didn't need any outer distractions. Maybe the horse Anima could grab the cart. As cruel as it was, it had been created for her to pull in the first place.. his elephant form couldn't fit inside like her much more slender Horse body.

Nanza's eyes flashed. "Not like this you don't." She took a sharp breath as he attempted to stand and fell. "Stay still, you will only make it worse." Nanza brushed several scars with her hands, being extra careful not to put her hands on Reptile's wounds. Some were large, some were small. She'd seen scars like this before many times....scars of a beaten slave.
At least they aren't scars of one tortured. A tiny voice at the back of her head called. And she nodded. yeah.. at least she didn't have to worry as much about the mental damage. Well maybe... the wounds had been self-inflicted... but at least they hadn't been inflicted strategically with the soul purpose of hurting.
Nanza stared at the wounds on his back. they might need stitches. It was something she could provide.. it would be painful, but it would keep the scarring down and make infection much less likely. She would first treat his wounds with the medicine, and when he'd stopped bleeding she would take another look to see if they needed to be sewn shut. She had no issues at all dealing with healing and medicine. It was actually easier for her as a Spider Anima to do so. Her silk could be used as a bandage, as a splint, as a way to set a broken extremity, and as shield if she had enough time to weave the silk into thick enough crossed layers. Spider Silk was some seriously useful stuff, and if it wasn't for the hatred towards Spiders in general, she was certain the +Anima would have been coveted.
"You can pay in other ways, you do not have to cause yourself physical harm. You could make yourself useful to others.. find ways to support and heal them instead of abusing yourself." Where was the Elephant with that water??? She needed it pretty soon here to cool the heat on his back. And the herbs from Min's cart. She would most definitely be looting the cart now that it no longer had a master. who knew when they would need some of this stuff on their journey together... wherever they were headed.
want to learn about project egg?
