Welcome to Gaia! ::

Her world was fading in and out of focus. She was going to start having a seizure. She almost succomed to it if not for Sebastian's sudden shout of her name. She hugged him, shaking, but in an attempt to stop her world from spinning. She was breathing heavy so only nodded at his asking if she was listening to him.

She felt him suddenly engulf her in a cocoon of warmth. Her head was resting on his chest, hearing his own erratic heartbeat. She fought to calm down, only catching a few parts of what he was saying. "...... Don't need the pipe....me.... I'm here. I'm protecting you." those words struck something with her, something comforting and safe, something she hadn't felt in such a long time. At his urging she began to control her breathing hearing his heart start to calm down and her own following in suit. Her shivering disappeared as she was still holding onto him. "Don't let go of me, sweeting. I'm here with you," she nods feeling herself finally calm, not just from the panic of losing her pipe but from the ordeal on deck. "Thank you Sebastian," she says softly

She was tempted to say no. She liked his embrace, it was warm, comforting, safe. But she couldn't do that, he fought hard and needed to rest as soon as he could, and that would be after everyone else was seen to, "yes... Thank you," she said nodding. "I think... It's safe to say I'm not Indian... That fight... I felt right at home in the middle of that," she added

"wait are you alright? You're really pale," she said having noticed how rigid he was and pale he had become.

Shasta didn't buy it. All ship captains were stubborn. And he looked as if he was hurting... Badly.she observed him till she saw him head into his cabin. She knew the cabin had a small medical kit that was fully stocked. She decided then to head over, he had helped her back away from the edge of a seizure, the very least she could do was help him with his injuries, which she was sure he had now. She knocked on the door. "sebastian... At least let me help you with your wounds," she says trying to open the door, she realized he must have been leaning his weight against the door since she could lift the latch easily.

Shasta heard movement and tried again, managing to get it open wide enough for her to slip in. She gasped seeing him bleeding and unconscious on the floor. She checked his breathing and was relieved he wasn't dead. She looked to see where the blood was coming from. She quickly laid him on his other side and quickly pulled the cloth of his shirt off seeing the bullet was still in there. "you idiot... You're lucky it's not worse," she said now pulling the bullet out and stitching up his side while he was still unconscious. She bandaged it up but knew she wouldn't be strong enough to lift him to the bed. Drayven would come soon and he could help her. She wet a cloth and began wiping away the dried blood on his face, pushing some hair back

Shasta nodded letting Drayven take the lead. She went out and found Jasper. "Jasper, Drayven needs your help for a moment," she says after getting his attention.
