Ruby took the rose with a soft thank you, looking it over thoroughly as was her usual habbit. She waved as he walked out the door, "Good luck...." She paused, realizing he hadn't told her his name. She gave a soft shrug, looking at the rose again, and then slipping it into her pocket.
She walked by the sleeping Alloran and poked him awake. "Didn't even bother to clean your own wounds...lazy old man."

Ruby St.Claire Ruby took the rose with a soft thank you, looking it over thoroughly as was her usual habbit. She waved as he walked out the door, "Good luck...." She paused, realizing he hadn't told her his name. She gave a soft shrug, looking at the rose again, and then slipping it into her pocket. She walked by the sleeping Alloran and poked him awake. "Didn't even bother to clean your own wounds...lazy old man." "I wern't sleepin', kid." Alloran grunted, sitting up and rubbing his eyes. "They donna need cleanin'. An if they did, I could use that water you poured me a while ago." Alloran grumbled in remembrance. "Gimme water an hope I donna realise it ain't no beer."

Ruby went back to the kitchen and came back with a tube of neosporin, and a bottle of alcohol. "Water ain't all that great for cleanin' wounds, if you don't know what state the pipes are in. At the moment I wouldn't even drink it, I was just bein' spiteful when I gave you that glass." She started cleaning some of the nastier wounds. "This'll burn, but considerin' you don't know what burnin' feels like, I'll just tell you it'll sting mighty nice."

"Git that s**t 'way from me. Go take care of one of the blokes who couldn't pull themselves this far." Alloran said, shrugging off her attempts to dab at his wounds. He took his mug, pouring a bit of the liquid on a particularly nasty gash on his arm. He grimaced slightly, pouring till it started dripping to the floor. "Tis fine. Wounds heal."

"Stupid, emotional greenmen." Ruby muttered under her breath. She headed into the kitchen, determined to make a really nice meal, and then have the satisfaction of denying it to the grumpy green fellow.

Alloran leaned back in his stool, taking another pull. He sighed, closing his eyes.

Ruby was glad they had a gass stove, and took use of whatever appliance was available. She cooked up a chicken pot pie, with plenty of carrots.

Alloran took a sniff, then sniffed again.
"Tis cruel the way you tease old men, Ruby!"
