[Action]

[Near the edge of town is a small blue-clad heap lying motionless near some bushes. He appears to be rather the worse for wear: in addition to the typical cuts and bruises from a kidnapping, one wing is somewhat mangled, missing a bunch of feathers and bleeding heavily. That's the most obvious injury, though there may be more. He's curled up into a sort of protective ball...]

Ahh, good, you're alive.

[Alive but not awake.]

[Sigh. Why you make this so difficult.]

...I'll return with a healer, Lord Emil.

[No worries, he's not going anywhere anytime soon.]

[And here is Tenebrae's healer of choice, following him towards Emil.]

Right this way, Raine.[Tenebrae leads the ~~fail~~ healer towards the boy, whom they eventually find in the curled up heap of pain and agony.]

[She frowns when she sees him, kneeling by his side to check his wounds.]

[The wing is the most immediate problem at hand; it's still bleeding rather heavily.]

[She frowns, and starts casting some healing spells to stabilize his body first, before concentrating on the wing and applying pressure to slow the bleeding.]

[Even unconscious like he is, Emil can feel that pain and he instinctively tries to pull away from her hands. That hurts, Raine.]

[She remains as firm as possible, wanting to make sure the blood has subsided enough for her to properly heal and bandage it without risk of infection. Sorry, Emil.]

[For something so small, that wing is sure bleeding a lot. It probably has something to do with the amount of missing feathers...]

[Missing feathers, or missing flesh? In any case, she's still going to do her best to stop as much bleeding as she can before starting to wrap it.]

[Well, both, really, but it's hard to tell under all that blood. Emil's still curled up in a ball even as he struggles weakly to get away.]

[Oh stop moving around, Emil. Healing is good for you. Don't make Tenebrae have to turn into a restraining device of darkness. She keeps working, regardless, murmuring another healing spell]

Emil. It's all right. You're safe now.

[He'd probably figure this much out if he were conscious, but... well. Still, he does calm slightly and stop struggling quite as much once he realizes that whatever is going on doesn't seem to be hurting him too badly, and hey, that healing feels kind of nice.]

[That's better. Once he finally stops struggling, she's able to finish wrapping his mangled wing, then turns her attention towards his other wounds. He really needs to be brought to the clinic, but that's not an option until he's stabilized completely. Maybe Tenebrae can transform into a stretcher of some kind...]

[Tenebrae is relieved to see Emil relax a bit now, Raine's curative techniques doing the trick.]

I knew it was a wise idea to seek you out to heal him, Raine.

[She half glances up from her healing] I thank you for the confidence. Although he will need to be moved to the clinic, once he's stabilized. Do you think you can find someone who can assist?

Yes, I'm certain that shouldn't be an issue.

Thank you. [She turns her attention back to tending to Emil.]

[He floats off to retrieve help.]

[Fortunately, none of the other wounds seem major, just cuts and bruises that should seal right up with a couple of healing spells.]

[And healing spam he shall get. It's mildly draining, but whatever, that is how Raine rolls.]

[The bleeding seems to have slowed, which is a good thing! Yay for healspam.]
