Welcome to Gaia! ::

Duncan was twitching as he walked along. He was going to pummel Adriel when he found him... damned brat! Adriel told him that they would go to the Labs together, so that he could keep an eye on him, make sure that they didn't try to mess with him or experiment on him. And then the lust spawn up and disappeared! He gave a low, snarling sound that caused those on the sidewalk around him to scatter as though they were afraid he might eat them. Given provocation he might given his mood...

As he stalked along he caught a familiar scent in the air. It caused him to freeze in his tracks and he sniffed at the air and his demonic blood almost started humming in his veins. Blood... there was blood in the air. He hated it but the scent always caused him to get a bit excited because blood when hand in hand with fighting. He sniffed at the air again before he turned to follow after the scent, to look for the source. He was hoping for a battle... something he could jump into.

Instead he found himself at the mouth of an alleyway looking at form that looked somewhat familiar though he wasn't exactly sure. It had been a while since he'd seen him... was that...? He wasn't sure. He took a step toward him, "Hey! You!" He called, if it weren't who he was thinking of then he would leave him be... he didn't care enough to play savior to someone he didn't know.

"Ciaran...?" He murmured, recognizing him now. Two of three of Duncan's eyes blinked at the words that he was saying... the yellow one eye narrowed in a distrustful manner but Duncan ignored it. He hurried forward, wondering if perhaps he'd hit his head... or maybe he'd lost to much blood and was delirious? He knew how much that sucked... and how much it messed a person up.

"Tell me hurt you." He demanded, "And I will kill them." A rather aggressive threat but he didn't take kindly to people hurting the few people he got along with. It was something compounded by his inability to help Adriel a while back... it made him more violent in his desire to help.

Duncan starred down at his friend for a long moment before it clicked... Ciaran was bat s**t crazy wasn't he? He gave a sigh and a shake of his head before reaching out to catch hold of him and easily scooped him up, "People need to get it through their thick skulls that the Labs aren't their to help us, they are there to break us." He muttered darkly as he headed out of the alley.

Ciaran needed looked after... he was here so he might as well see about patching him up. There was a small store not far from here they could get some first aid supplies there he thought as he walked along.

"You don't have to worry, I am not like I used to be either, so you changing doesn't bother me." He murmured, motioning to the scars that Ciaran could see that were all over him, the worst ones being the two thick ones on his back from where his wings had been ripped off.

If you asked Duncan all of the Techs in that place needed to be beaten to a pulp... He gave the boy a bit of a smile when he felt him relax. He looked down at him a little worried that he might have passed out but realized that he was just resting.

"Hmm? Ahh... its a long story." He told his friend, "Something I had to give up to save someone so it was worth it." He blinked a couple times before giving a chuckle, "Yeah, I have to say that I like my skin better like this as well." Though the scars that marred his skin annoyed him just a little, because he wasn't able to get more hits in against that spider...

"We aren't to far from our destination, so just relax until we get there." He told his friend.

"I wouldn't have thought I could either. One of those things you don't know you can do until your doing it." He said with a bit of a laugh, doing his best to hide a blush. He was to old be blushing and was a guy at that but Ciaran was right, he was very much in love.

"Here we are." He said, as they stepped inside the small store and walked toward the aisle where the many first aid products were kept. He knew where it was all kept since he was often in need of such things due to his temperament. He gave a smile, "Let see..." He gathered a few thing up that they would need before heading toward the front counter to pay.

Duncan gave a little shake of his head, "It doesn't bother me to much, I am actually rather good at first aid since I have to do it often enough on myself." He assured his friend, "All the left over supplies I can take home unless you need them."

He tucked the changed away into his pocket before he set Ciaran down on one the counter, out of the way so other customers could still pay for their things and instantly he was opening the supplies he'd purchased, "Hold your arm out for me?" Duncan had to concentrate hard on the task at hand as the blood made his hackles rise... the scent always got to him. The fact that he could ignore it though was a good sign that he was finally gaining true control over that part of himself.

Duncan looked the wound over, wondering how in the world Ciaran had managed to get such a wound. He wrinkled his nose before he took out first a bag of gauze, opening it up and took what he needed. It was soon soaked in peroxide and the cloths were used to clean the wound, "It might sting a bit." He warned his friend as he went about cleaning it. Once the wound no longer caused it to bubble up showing that it was clean he set the bottle aside.

"Alright, now for the TAO and the bandages." He told the envy spawn before doing just as he said he was going to do, slathering the wound with the antibiotic ointment before he wrapped it with a bandage, "Done."
