He felt rage consume him. He was going to kill this girl, she was the reason for all his suffering. The reason for the pain he'd endured through the last few years, why he was considered broken goods. He had been the best of the best. Now he struggled to keep himself in the game, he was still elite, but few employers would trust him when an uninjured man could be bought for a lower price.
But he didn't kill her, he hadn't the energy for it. Instead he hobbled his way toward her and whispered hoarsly in her ear.
"We're even. Now go get some wire and a needle, you're sewing this up..."

She stood without a word, the bread falling to the ground. She swayed on the spot for only a moment before hurrying off to the kitchens where she searched desperately for the head housekeeper who helped her find what she needed.
Catriona tripped down the stairs she was running so fast, thankfully not breaking or losing anything, but managing to rip her skirt rather nicely; she didn't even know she could run so fast. When she got back down to the stables she was red-faced and looking rather worse for wear.
She hurried to his side, putting down a bottle of the strongest spirits she could find along with everything. She'd been told that wounds doused in spirits never became infected and, to the best of her knowledge, this was true.
She didn't look in his face as she doused the needle, wire, and a clean cloth she had picked up in the kitchen along the way.
With that she turned to him expectantly, waiting for him to expose his wound so she could fix him up.

((I'm done for the night))
She was quicker than he expected, "That's a good girl.." he said as he removed the leather cuirass. Among the numerous scars this one was obvious a long red gash across the left of his back, he was bleeding profusely now.

Making his way around the castle he finds the stables and walks in seeing a few people. "oh.." he says a bit surprised. "uhh..." he blinks a little confused aswell. "I take it I missed something..." he says quietly and rubs the back of his head.

((rawr D: ))
She blushed and averted her eyes. However, she remembered that she was supposed to stitch him up.
As gently as she could she swabbed his wound, knowing that it would hurt regardless, but not sure how the spirits would affect it. Rather squeamish by nature, this was not a job she would have chosen to do. Anything from a medium-grade cut and up made her nauseous, so seeing his exposed flesh with flashes of white bone here and there made her regret eating those small bites of bread.
Holding the edges of the cut together with one hand, Catriona began sewing it up, grimacing at the work. She finished after what seemed to her a long while, dabbing it one last time with the rag.

 There are no such things as coincidence.Evacy came back with bandages and wine. "Ah, I guess I was a tad too slow." she said, seeing that Catriona had already fixed Pix up. "If you need this to support his back," Evacy said, putting the bandages on a box. "it's right here." She would have poked fun and or teased Pix about his wound, but sensing the tension in the air, she silently left the wine for Pix to drink, if he so wished. She walked back to her room, singing a minor song under her breath. 'What an interesting turn of events...' There is only hitsuzen

((Sorry for general unactivity today, I'll try to be on for a while now))
Birds chirped as Lucas napped, midday sunlight streaming through the window. Gerard the butler knocked on his door rapidly, and Lucas awoke.
He felt a little better, but he was still frustrated at Pix. Not as much so, but the bitterness was still there. At least he could see straight and he didn't have a headache anymore.
Rising up out of the bed, he opened the door and rubbed his eyes. "Hello, Gerard," he said, as pleasantly as possible.
Gerard smiled. "Good afternoon, Master Lucas. The Lord General wants to remind you that the meeting with your guests was scheduled for ten minutes ago, as of now."
Lucas cursed. "I forgot. Tell him I'll gather them up as soon as possible."
Gerard nodded and was off to relay the message.
After his bath Kai had taken the opportunity to wash his clothes and clean his boots, gloves, and chestguard off. He was in the dining hall, feeling very refreshed. He munched on some grapes absentmindedly, noticing how good the food tasted.
Lucas came in, looking very anxious. "Hey, hey hey! It's time for that metting with Boss! Lucas grabbed Kai by the arm as Lucas went to find the others. Still holding the grapes in his hand, Kai continued to snack on them as they searched.
