Welcome to Gaia! ::

Ruby nodded, "all the time, everytime, durin' everythin'.........if you catch my drift. I've never even seen his eyes myself, but I do know they aren't blue. An' they're special sunglasses, adjusted for vision an' the like. They aren't meant to shade from the sun as shade the eyes from us, that an they're kinda memorabilia from his drug days. I've worn them before myself, after swipin' them. He screamed louder then a five year old forced to eat green beans, an kept his eyes clamped tighter than a nun's knees. I still think those were some of his sexier moments."

The entire shelter bustled with movement, giving no notice to Miran and his entrance, considering he was neither screaming nor covered with blood. There were some patients being treated in the front room, while others were being moved to another room. Ruby was in front treating a wounded soldier who was in need of immediate care, while trying to keep track of the short redheaded kid by her side.

Ruby jumped as Miran surprised her, appearing at her side like that. "It's the obvious sug, the big gapin' hole in his center, but I'm almost done patchin' it up, no worries. If you want to help you can move to one of the new comers, there's a few missin' limbs for a few blokes."

"Sug? Ask me to do what?" Ruby found she had a difficult time meeting the gaze. She felt herself recoil a bit, and she wasn't sure whether it was normal paranoia or a real concern. "Aaron, baby, go play hide an' seek in the supply closet."

Ruby's face paled. "No, Miran, we can't do somethin' like that. We won't do somethin' like that. I'm not sure what all you're thinkin' but I'm not gonna stand for it."

Ruby's chin went up in a stubborn pose. "an it'd be a sin for me to suffer if I left 'em, an' you know it." She stared back at his eyes, ignoring the urge to shrink away. "I ain't goin' anywhere Miran, an' if you expected I would, you don't know me half as well as you thought." Her left hand moved to grab a syringe filled with a tranquilizer. She moved foreward intending to inject it in his arm, to calm him down, slow him down, or anything at all.

"Magdala!" Ruby yelled at the top of her lungs, "Get Aaron, the children, an' the rest of the staff outa here now!" Ruby glared at Miran, but waited as the crowd of staff and the children were all herded out.

The moment the last one was out the door she dropped the syringe from her hand, and then caught it with her left, jabbing it towards his arm.

(that's about right)

"I truly wish to stop you, 'fore you do somethin' you regret, sug." Ruby said, pulling her hand out of his grasp. "An' the Miran I know, wouldn't be doin' somethin' like this."
