Welcome to Gaia! ::

Kara winced as Chris started to correct her about the reason for Rio's blackout. Before he could finish his sentence, she surreptitiously elbowed him hard in the ribs, her eyes flicking to the storekeep meanignfully. He paused, then continued.

"Not here!" She hissed. "Time to go. Pick him up." She said, nodding to Rio so the others, who didn't speak a bit of Yoan, would understand. With another benign smile at the suspicious storekeep, she left, the men trailing after her.

Kara kept her eyes open for Chris's brother or any of the others as they walked down the street. There had to be somewhere safe...anywhere. Her eyes fell on a large building with a bell and heavy double doors. It looked like a chapel, or sorts. Hesitating only slightly, she headed up the stairs and knocked on the doors. Priests on her homeworld often helped travellers. She only hoped it was the same here on Yoan.

Kara walked in the chapel, followed by Chris and Cheoro. She bit her lip and looked at the priest, noting his tired tone of voice.

"I hope we're not interrupting anything..." Kara started. "My friend needs help, and I didn't know where to take him. I'm not much of a healer...just field dressing and the like. He's been cut by a sword and..." She trailed off, nervously, her eyes searching the priest. She half-expected him to throw them out or refuse them aid. But some small part of her dared to hope...

Chris and Cheoro set Rio down and Chris looked at Masion and said, You wouldnt happen to have anything to dress wounds would you?" Chris almost immediatly kneeled down to pray but stopped suddenly remembering that he never really enjoyed church because of the long sermons. Chris then looked at Kara and said, " Do you think Rio is going to be ok? I mean he has been through an awefull lot recently."

Kara nodded and stepped aside so Cheoro and Chris could place Rio where indicated. She stood to the side and watched the priest carefully. She didn't trust any Yoan, for a very good reason, and she wasn't about to start now. But still...he seemed helpful enough. Kara gave a sigh and decided that they didn't have any other choice than to trust the man. Rio needed help, now.

"I'm Kara, and I was at one point." She replied to the priest. "That's Chris and Cheoro is over there, they don't speak Yoan very well." she gestured to the appropriate person. Her eyes fell on Rio, and she paused a few seconds in thought. "And his name is Morgan." She improvised. She didn't think his name would really matter, but then again, she didn't know much about Rio, really. She figured it was better not to take the chance. Besides, if the priest really meant to help, then he'd be better off not knowing everything. At least that's what she told herself.

"He'll be fine." She assured Chris. "Probably." She muttered under her breath.

Chris said in a calm voice, " The first time i was attacked by my brother Gahn here on Yoan i thought that i could end it but apparently he survived. Next time we face him, Im going to beat his brains in so hard that he wont know which direction is which." Chris then after hesitating for a minute, Kneeled down on the kneeler and began to pray for his family.

"Ah, he must be Thurien," said Ngurt, observing Chris.

Kara frowned and put a comforting hand on Rio's forehead. He was burning with a fever. She gave a sigh and looked up at the priest.

"I don't know much about medicine. Chris is something of a doctor, but..." She glanced over at Chris's kneeling form. Her eyes strayed back to Rio, a worried look in their indigo depths.
