"The others are out there, aren't they?"
"I can't protect you like this," she turned her head stiffly to look at him. "So is here with me where you really want to be right now?"

"I'm a medic." he said. "This is exactly where I want to be, because those people out there, will at some point - end up in here."

Melody sulkily sunk back down again, face contorting every time she moved but then going strangely calm whenever she finally held still.
"I want to help," she told him with an unusually stern - for her - tone.
She wondered distantly if he knew now. It didn't bother her so much right now though. Everyone she cares about may die and she only proved everyone right. She was a terrible Moon. Everyone had to save and protect her. Not the other way around like it should have been.

"Well." he said. "Sometimes you just can't. Sometimes you help by staying where you are and staying alive so you can be of some use later on. You were as helpful as you can be. Learn from it." he dropped his bloody glove into a bin. "Or don't."
He moved to the tent flap and looked out briefly, the sounds were coming from much further away, it was barely audible, they were fairly safe. He went about cleaning up a little and preparing for any new patients who might come in.
"You are being a child about it. Things are what they are."

"Of course I am," she huffed and carefully crossed her arms. "I AM one. Technically."
She sighed, "I just thought everything was going to be different this time."

"Things aren't always what you think." he said, somewhat distantly.

Melody may have read just a little too much into his comment. She patted the hospital gown around her chest area and frowned to herself. "You saw, didn't you?"

Lawrence paused briefly, quirking a brow as if trying to puzzle what on earth Melody meant by her comment, mentally rewinding everything that had happened, finally realising what she meant. "Oh. Yes. Certainly." he shrugged as if unsure what to even say about something so inconsequential.
"Happens to the best of us."

She snorted loudly and stifled a chuckle that turned into a flinch of pain and silence. She held her abdomen through the covers and sighed.
"Lawrence.... I've... I've been thinking."
She slowly slid her hands to her lap.
"I mean... It's obvious there's a lot of changes going on." She paused to give him a mildly stern look before adding, "Suddenly."
"I knew from the start that my stay was conditional, and I feel like I get in the way a lot. Do you really need the added headache right now? I mean like, after we go back."

"Twice," Jordan answered Sammy shortly. It wasn't like she didn't already know how much Fear it took to create a weapon's charge, after all. "What do you mean, copying him? What's your idea?"

"No need to be so short, I haven't been counting swings exactly Rep just let me off my lead so I can play with all of you lovely hunters." She was indeed very familiar with how this all worked.
"Simple. I burn everything I've got, you get Ferros lit, use the heal and I'll return the favor." She tugged her jacket back, her artifact glowing as bright as her eyes again now that she was uncuffed. "I haven't spilled all my secrets Jordan."

"No offense intended, we're distracted." They shot a curious glance at Sammy, eyes lingering on the artifact. "We have enough shield to get a charge, but it'd be better if we had some defense." They looked around, searching for Joy or Jason, if the trainees were anywhere around.

Joy had been out of commission longer than she anticipated. The chores and the fights seemed to have taken a bigger toll on her than she first expected. So much so that it took the current ruckus to finally wake the trainee up. Her first instinct was to cuss the world blue, but then her bonded reminded her of where she was and that she had a job that needed doing.
Of course the sight of the massive thing had her wondering if she was still having a nightmare. Until she saw the others. Welp. Dream or not, "No pain, no gain!" she said, summoning her weapon and jogging up to join the group.
"No idea what's happening but just tell me who to defend!" Joy declared, then waved to Sammy, "Good to see you're still around!"
HP: 29/45
Defending: Jordan for 6

"Good to see you." Jordan grinned at Joy. "See if you can keep it off me any while I hit it again, would you?" When the huge thing swooped low again, they charged it, swinging Ferros hard and high. Joy's intervention kept the claws from hitting them quite so hard this time. HP: 30 Dmg: 8 x2 = 16 +4 = 20 Charge: 2/3 Boss HP: 487

A shriek nearby revealed that yes, Jason was around as well, having nodded off in the calm and humid forest only to be woken up by the rumbling of the large bird flying overhead. "I-i'm here!" He called out, looking disheveled, but non the less had his weapon out and opted to provide Sammy some defense since Joy had Jordan covered. The thing swooped, and this time he managed not to scream and kept the bird from raking the zombie with it's talons. He wanted to ask what was going on, but didn't want to look like a fool, so kept his mouth shut. HP: 41 Defending Sammy for 7
