'I understand. I appreciate your assistance even if he does not.' she answered Zephyr as she stared at Tri silently. She made no motion as Zephyr set the kit down and Tri responded to her comment. The words itself and the troop of his wings caused her to frown. She'd hurt him. She took in a breath as she barely noticed the chair pulled to her as she kept focus on Rri, watching him grab the kit. 'I doubt that he would invite your help either...'
Tri moved towards her and she looked back to see the chair and sat down. Watching him bandage her wounds, she moved a hand to his shoulder as if to stabilize herself but only transferred away wounds from him. [Wound Transferal: 12 points from Tri. Takes 6 damage herself] A few wounds appearing elsewhere, she winced quietly but said nothing. 'I am unsure if he will ever accept what you've become to me... And I apologize for that..'

Just watching Tri take the First Aid kit, he sighed a little bit and took a step back. 'I wonder if it would be too much for you to just negate my Charisma - if anything maybe so he trusts me a bit more?' Zephyr asked as he looked over to the stockpile of non-perishable food that he had stocked up in case of emergencies. Taking in a breath, he let it out slowly. 'I'm going to just do my best in being cordial'
"Are either of you two hungry or thirsty?" he offered, having a feeling that Hexxis might want something to comfort her, so he went off to shuffle through the food items to see if he at least had some sort of decent powdered hot chocolate.

Tri blinked and jerked his head up, eyes narrowing slightly at her as the pain of his wounds disappeared. He could call her out on it but that wouldn't do here or now. After a few seconds he said nothing and continued to work on her leg, being careful to clean it as best he could before placing the numbing and clothing agent before starting to bandage. He knew a healer he could call once they returned and they could deal with the bullet if it was still there and any bone injuries.
Wings tensed slightly at Zeph's offer but he said nothing, checking his work before looking up at her. "Others" he asked quietly wanting to know where her other injuries were.

Hexxis had her eyes on watching Tri bandage her wounds but didn't exactly seem attentive, or at least it was hard to tell. 'I think him even knowing you have Charisma might escalate the situation, it's not advised. Beyond that, I do not know how to get him to trust you. Or if he ever will.' She blinked and looked to Tri as he spoke, as if suddenly paying attention again. Shifting herself, she motioned to the bullet wound in her shoulder, moving to take off her jacket but hesitating then apparently deciding against removing it. "The other wounds are minor. No need to tend to them as they will fade with time." she spoke up softly then glanced to the side as if to look towards Zephyr but didn't turn her head.
"I do not require further sustenance." she then looked to Tri to see his answer but paused and looked down. This was difficult, keeping the peace that she knew could likely never be present. She just sat there, gaze focus to the floor as she thought. 'He values loyalty and trust, things that Mara does not believe can be easily given to a mercenary. It is very likely that Tri feels the same way.' The tension only continued to build slowly in her chest as she mulled over thoughts and words and things people told her, just trying to reach an understand. A solution.
'Mara told me I would only slowly break my relationship with Tri if I tried to balance between the two of you, forcing my decision as it stands now. He will not trust you because you work as a mercenary and they don't choose sides, they only work jobs without forethought of alliances.' She frowned, 'This appears to be just be how things work. I must always choose. If I desire to keep even a small part of the things I care about. Even if it's not the ideal situation I fought for, I am trying my best with what I know.'
She was silent otherwise, just sitting there.

Finding the powdered hot chocolate, he went to go boil some water, putting water into a kettle then putting the kettle onto the little stove before leaning against the wall and crossing his arms over his chest and closing his eyes. 'Well, I did say that I was going to open up a coffee shop. I can always fully retire from being a Mercenary. Maybe that'll work?' Zephyr mused before opening his eyes and looking at the two. They didn't act anything like what he knew families acted like, if anything, she was dancing around him more like someone who was trying to survive, not live.
'I don't want to fight him, I want him to like me - even if it means retiring from a job I'm damn good at...'

There was a flicker doubt when she put her full attention on him, normally he would think she was trying to hold back the pain or even just lost in thought but with what he knew now.. how long had she been in contact with him? Ever since she regained her memories?
"And become infected if they don't" he admonished quietly and waited, not going to push again if she continued to say no. Instead he watched her looked toward the ground and in a way felt grateful at at least he didn't have to know she was talking to him, even if they all knew she was.

Hexxis blinked, a flicker of deep confused thought before turning to look at Zephyr. "...i.. don't know..." she answered out loud without realizing it before she glanced to Tri then settled back to look at him. "I have one bullet wound in my right shoulder. The others are along my back which would require removal of my clothes to treat. As per your earlier request, I am now conflicted. I am not allowed to disrobe in front of men or women unless there is little choice. This may be one of those situation but I am unsure. We are inside a room as protection. Is my privacy and dignity in danger here as well..?" she appeared confused if only a glimmer of the expression on her face. 'I don't want either of you to fight. I want you both to get along. But as Mara insinuated, I don't get to choose that.' she frowned, everything being so confusing as she learned that life itself and the world she lived in had far more complicated multi-faceted rules than what strict rules she had under Haven's influence: an almost unnerving fact. "Please advise." she spoke softly, just looking off with a slightly disheartened look.

Zephyr looked over to the two, but kept his eyes on Hexxis, though as she spoke of the earlier request, he couldn't help but snicker a little to himself. Though, he quickly put his hand to his mouth and waved the other one. "Sorry." he smiled a bit then looked over to the kettle, hoping that it wouldn't whistle at a tense time. 'I won't fight him...maybe by some chance, he'll end up at least tolerating me.' he mused a little bit.
He would have suggested that he could teleport away for a bit, but he had expended all of his teleports just to get all three of them to the dead drop.

Tri stared at her silently as he knew that would come back to bite him at the worst time. A soft snicker behind him make him twitch his top wing down a little to look back at Zeph hatefully before returning to Hexxis. "Just take off your jacket and i'll work on your back while you're in the chair." he said simply, unlocking the brakes on either side of the chair and pushing her forward until she was facing a corner then locking the brakes again.
He pulled at his shadows and felt nothing as he tried to reform the puma or the bird and nothing, pulling a faint shiver of fear through his wings for a moment. He was used to not being able to use his powers but that was always connected to a collar. With a sigh he kept his back to the Merc unhappily as he flared all his wings to cover her from sight and waited.

'I am unsure. I could only hope, but I cannot make promises on the actions of others. Too many outcomes, too many variables.'
Tri instructed her to just remove her jacket and moved her to the corner, her own mind falling silent as she took off her jacket and rested it in her lap. The spread of wings behind her made the corner darker, and with not much else to focus on, her mind began to race, remembering flickers of images of being trapped, darkness, and the inability to breathe. She leaned forward, tensing up, the strain from the two others in the room not helping her increasing anxiety as her breathing increased slowly then gradually became more rapid as she began to wheeze within shallow breaths.
She closed her eyes tight and instead of the usual response of fear to curl up and make oneself smaller, she shoved her hands forward against the wall, ".. no.. NO STOP!!" she screamed out suddenly, a deep fear in her voice that she never had shown before, tears filling her eyes quickly as she began to cry. The resistance of the brakes on the chair not creating much distance between the wall and her as she shoved at it with both hands and legs, pain surging through her shoulder and leg as she tried to get further away from the wall as she could. "HELP! NO!!" she was screaming, her actions nothing near resemblant of how she would normally act, fear driving her actions, wheezing and coughing like she couldn't breathe. '..no no no no.. make it stop.. i need to get out.. i'm sorry... no... please... just make it stop...i don't want to be here again... i need help... please...' her thoughts continued erratically without thinking about the fact Zephyr could hear her thoughts as she sobbed and struggled, her entire body shaking.

Turning to watch the flair of the wings, he looked away for a moment, though as she heard the scream, his eyes widening as he heard the thoughts echo through his head as well. "s**t s**t s**t s**t, this isn't good - get her out o the corner!" he shouted, Taking a step or two forward, he stopped for a moment, then moved to the chair to unlock the breaks. "She might - she might be thinking she's trapped again.."
'It's alright Hexxis, I'm here - focus on my voice.'

"Again?!" he snapped his wings down flinching slightly from the closeness of the merc but moving forward around her furling his wings in to look less threatening. "Hexxis... You're safe" he said quietly, looking between Hexxis then the merc and finally landing on the merc's face over her head, glaring slightly, not knowing what -again- was but knowing it must his fault.
Grabbing hold of the arm rest once Zeph let go of the break he pushed lightly so she could see the rest of the room.

She could hear voices of those concerned about her but it was all too hard to focus with her mind already racing. How it was dark and she was not in the open, she was underground and she couldn't move.. couldn't breathe. She was hyperventilating as the chair was pulled around toward the more open room and her immediate response was to push herself up from the chair without regard for anything in her way, taking two steps toward Zephyr before pain shot through her leg once weight was applied and she fell to the ground. Hexxis was coughing and put a hand over her mouth like she was about to be sick through the waves of dread and churning in her stomach. She continued to try to stand, her dizziness only making it more difficult as she couldn't get the strength to stand back up again even despite her efforts. '..zephyr help... i don't want to be in a box again... i'm sorry... i can't move... it hurts... help.... im scared..."
"...i... cannot.. breathe..." she muttered, forced out through painfully short wheezes and sobs. She tried to grab at anything to help her try to stand, just to get up, scared and disoriented.

Moving to try and catch her, barely being fast enough to catch her, he slid to the ground and pulled her close, focusing on her and her alone. To hell with Tri when Hexxis was in such a state - she was the one he needed to focus on. "Deep breaths, Hexxis, it's alright. I'm here. You're not in that place, you're here. With me." Zephyr whispered, forgoing their mental connection for now, his gut telling him it would be better for her to not have it all be in her head. Putting her head into his shoulder, he wrapped one arm around her to rub her back, just wanting to comfort her, to let her know that he was there for her.
"Deep breaths..it's okay, I'm here, we're here - deep breaths..." He continued to whisper, soon eventually rocking with her gently, his own heart breaking at seeing her like this.

Tri looked pained as she moved to Zephyr instead of him when he was the closest one of the two. That thought was quickly pushed aside when it looked like she wasn't going to make it. Moving forward he reached out to try and catch her only to have the Merc rush in fast enough that he hit his arms into the Merc's back before he pull them away.
With their back to him there was a look of real pain as he stared between them as hsi wings furled in slightly and still not understanding why she was reacting like she was...what terrified her? Drowning? Suffocation?
"Hexxis, go to sleep"
