Camelot's words about keeping the kids away from blood made Hug-bell face palm. "Camelot we can handle a little blood. We're senshi." Okay little was probably an understatement as to what was going to be coming in but still.
Hug-bell waved at Valhalla. "Hii~ we came to help." She reconfirmed with a nod and looking at Zirconia she smiled before trotting over to drop down the supplies. There were a few bags stuffed full, "Zirconia made sure to get lots of things." She said to Valhalla in a whisper.
Hug-bell reconfirmed Hygiea could heal too, "She might not can heal the bone though..." Hug-bell said after a second, "Iunno how much her herbs can heal, but I guess we'll find out." She smiled.
"Yup I can help *********>!" She wasn't sure what all she could do besides hand ********* bandages and what not but surely they'd find enough stuff. She paused noticing Zirconia seeming to be quite for now and nudged the cat softly, which in it self was brave knowing Zirconia.
"Yup our cats can kinda do that." Hug-bell confirmed for Eric. "Iunno why but I guess it's because they occasionally actually need hands for things. It's useful."
There was a pause, when Harmony started, "Look you, we're senshi and we came to help now then you're hurt so Hygiea is going to help you. We deal with this stuff all the time because we fight the bad guys and we're the heroes." She stared at the lady indicating she wasn't going to take any more back-talk from people that thought the chibis couldn't do anything. She then smiled softly, thinking, "Hygiea maybe you could lend your kitty plush to her ((Harmony)). It might help her not feel so worried about having to be patched up."
She looked at Layton before taking the girls unhurt hand. "Please come over here so me and ********* can help, okay?."
((Sorry I caught a mess up in my typing with Hug-bell speaking about Harmony.))

"She..." the girl with the cat ears said in a clear tone "...has a name, as Hygiea had pointed out. My name is *********." Though the boy was having a natural reaction to her shift in appearance, the girl didn't seem to be too put off by the pointing finger of the boy (Eric). She just simply put her hat back upon her head, then listened to the words offered by the eldest of the knights (Camelot).
She nodded to his words, seeming to consider what he was saying. The simple movement of the nod caused her collar to jingle pleasantly, as if to contrast the seemingly gloomy feel. "I will keep the girls away from what they are not able to handle, but you would be surprised what they can handle."
A hand briefly ruffled Hygiea's hair as she chimed in. "She can heal others, though the extent of her powers is along the lines of flesh wounds. And light painkillers." Her green eyes glanced to a vaguely familiar face of a knight who had been at the camp (Valhalla). She did not have any extended interactions with him, but with all of the chaos, it was understandable. "Do not expect her to mend the bones... but she will do the best she can at the moment!"
Spinning on her toes, she turned to face the girl who had offered a mildly snide comment (Harmony). With the lack of a tail, ********* nearly looked like a normal girl. "I do not mind you badmouthing me, but we all came to assist you. Beggars cannot be choosers, and these girls are here to help, just the same as any Senshi."
Having offered her two cents, ********* then made her way to the girl she had been directed to assist (Layton). The silvery haired girl seemed to move light on her feet, and to any who were not familiar with her, it might have seemed strange that she was barefoot. Once she was next to the girl, ********* nodded to her. "Hello there... my name is *********. Tell me... where along your arm does it hurt?" Using her own arm, she extended it, then pointed to the middle of her upper arm. "Would it hurt somewhere about here?" The guardian allowed Hugbell to take this girl's (Layton) good hand in an effort to guide her someplace a bit more comfortable.

Camelot looked at Harmony as she spoke, letting Valhalla do as he wished. They both wanted order, and they'd find it eventually. At least they were on the same page. He smiled and nodded his head, though it always made him feel a bit silly when someone asked him that. Like he was playing a game and everyone believed him, somehow.
He would earn the title one day, he kept telling himself, and then it wouldn't be so strange to say he was, in fact, a knight.
A real one.
"My name is Camelot. This is Hesperis. We're knights, yes. And that's Valhalla. We'll keep you safe, Miss Harmony, just rest now and let us tend to your wound."
He looked at Hygiea and smiled. She was young, certainly, but she seemed eager. Did that make it okay for her to be there, in the middle of all this chaos? Because she seemed to want to? He wasn't sure how much of is she understood, or if he was underestimating them all.
"Could you help us with this wound?" It was covered by a towel, at least, though the blood stains were evident on it and on her clothes. It seemed to have slowed, though, if not stopped altogether. There was magic in the air, after all. "With your healing... ah." He looked at Hug-bell as she spoke, nodding his head thoughtfully. Well, it was too late to back out now: if they wanted to help, then they would be made use of.
"Let's not condescend to the confused, pained civilian with a bone sticking through her skin, okay?" he said, using his Dad voice to chastise Hug-bell, and then *********, behavior, though his Dad voice was soft and warm. He knew she meant well. "We are the good guys here, but patience goes a lot further than gruffness. They're scared enough already, and have been through more than we know, I imagine."
********* explanation of Hygiea's skills confirmed his hopes and he nodded his head. He wanted to relieve Harmony's pain so they could wrap the wound once they had cleaned and done whatever they could for the bone. But he didn't want to torture her, so painkillers of any kind were a great help.

Oh. Maybe she should have explained her power just a little bit more, though it seemed that HugBell and *********> both seemed to have taken care of that. Hygiea still winced a little, apologetically to both the knights but was easily soothed back into contentment with ********* hair ruffle - that was new and having the catgirl complement her in such a manner felt really special.
As asked of her, by several people now, Sailor Chibi Hygiea made her way towards disgruntle Harmony - totally forgetting her bag on the floor where she previous stood. The girl seemed just as displeased with them being there as Virgo had but she took it in stride now. How many times had they gotten comments about their age? Really, it was getting old. Still, she held out her pink cat doll towards the broken ribbed girl and smiled, "here, hold this for a sec." Perhaps a little bit of a jibe, but really she needed her hands free and she was tired of it sitting around her belt.
Clapping her now free hands, Hygiea stated her spell with a smile "Herbal Remedy!" and when her hands split apart, a little orange herb glowed in a small yellow orb of light. She held it in her hands for a moment, satisfied with her work before she held it out to Harmony, "I think you need to eat it for the painkillers part to work." She hadn't actually seen that aspect in action, but it felt like the right instructions.

Eric winced.
"Right. *********. Sorry... Not being much help am I?"
He pushed himself up standing again. His ear was bleeding again, blood was slowly making its way down his neck.
"Is there anything else I can do?"

"Ah! No, sorry. I didn't really expect her to be able to mend bones... I was just hoping for some kind of pain relief. Sorry, I think I got a little carried away," Valhalla quickly apologized, not wanting to seem like an idiot and assuming that the little senshi could mend bones and such. Ah, not that he wanted to underestimate them. He just hadn't heard of magic like that before...
He watched as everyone went to work helping the two young ladies, and he ran over to the pool of water with the bucket to fill with water and bring back.
"Your ear..." he winced, eyeing Eric as he spoke up, and Valhalla picked up a towel to soak into the bucket of water and ring it out. "Here... you're bleeding, you need to put this against your ear until it stops," he instructed, holding the cloth out for the young man to take. Ick... he really didn't like the sight of blood...

Zirconia had kind of been hopping around to give glaring stances in all directions. Not at anyone in particular, just as space in general. She had never been this far out in space, even in her own universe, and it was weird.
But then Hug-Bell nudged her and she came back to reality, giving a noting glance to Valhalla, her friend, and another knight she'd encountered before, Camelot. the civilians were mysteries, but given the exchanges between everyone, it was one she didn't want to jump into. Even though she had a thing or two to say about teenagers looking down on chibis, she kept her mouth shut.
Taking advantage of space, Zirconia shifted into her own humanoid form with ears, tail, and all, able to stand at her full 5'8 inches rather than hopping around on her paws.
She crossed her arms and watched Hygeia heal and ********* and Hug-Bell do their thing while she basically just stood there a few steps behind Hug-Bell.
She didn't think she could be of too much use, but hey, as far as she was concerned she was only the babysitter.
Well, until she saw Valhalla dealing with Eric and she had to correct him in true Zirconia fashion. Or at least interject.
"Why is his ear bleeding?" It came out less critical than usual, though. She was genuinely curious since something like blood from the ears was an image firmly embedded in her brain as something squicky like massive brain injuries or perforated ear drums.

"Ah.. Right..."
Eric looked dazed by everything that was happening, so he just held the cloth to his ear.
"So uh. Magic eh? I guess thats all there is too it. I mean, Cats turning into people and stuff must mean that somehow magic is real, right?"
He really didnt expect Vallhalla to respond, his question was vague at best. He stared around the room, really overwhelmed by everything.
"Its all magic..."
He looked at the woman that had also just been a cat.
"Punctured eardrum lu- er ma'am."
He had resisted the urge to call her luv. He didnt want to be turned into a toad.

Valhalla blinked in surprise, but was soon smiling brightly when he heard Zirconia's voice coming up from behind him.
"He's got a-- What the hell are you wearing, Zee??" he sputtered, turning to stare at her, expecting to see a fluffy cat, but seeing a woman with ears and a-- "You have a tail..." WELL, that was different... She had nice legs though-- but it was his best friend and he had a girlfriend, what the hell....
"Uh... yeah... what he said," he mumbled after Eric's explanation, still staring at... what was usually his best friend... sans the tail and ears and eyes that were much too bright, much too similar to his own color to be Zia. "So... Wow... uh... huh..." This was definitely a different look for her...

Hug-bell had called out Barnaby from thin air now, "hold on a second, I'll make a place for you to sit." She told Layton. "Comfy Teddy Catches!"
The child called her normal attack and the bear grew large enough to comfortably sit an adult. "Here sit on this, it'll be more comfortable than a table while we fix your arm. Oh, and try not to sit down too hard he shrinks if he's hit hard enough." She warned as an after thought.
Then suddenly she heard Valhalla's voice. "Valhalla!" She cried looking back towards the page, if he'd actually looked at both the girls and took a moment he'd probably noticed both had yellow eyes and lalic hair. "She's a cat named Zirconia." There was a sigh, obviously the child had to keep Zia's friend in line. He shouldn't be breaking cover like that in front of civilians.
There was a pause however, as the child stared at the fact Zirconia was now human. Well cat girl, which was pretty awesome and she had a nice dress. However, now wasn't quite the time to comment on the outfit choices of her babysitter. Her eyes were still narrowed on Valhalla daring him to call her Zee again.

Zirconia put her hands on her hips and just glared at the poor unfortunate soul who called her ma'am. Not that she would've been too much happier with 'Luv'. It was pretty hard, if not impossible, to win with her.
She rolled her eyes when Valhalla called her 'Zee' and commented on her outfit, but Hug-Bell corrected him first. Part of her was hoping he would take note of her yellow eyes and take the hint that his buddy wasn't exactly home right now.
"Calm down, Kiddo," She said, apparently not too worried about the slip. Even if they were inclined to, no one was going to hunt down her human persona based on that one syllable.
But she did turn her attention to Eric again, the ignorant human who apparently needed to be enlightened. "It's less magic and more that we just come from a different planet than you," She told him, "But magic definitely exists," And all she needed to prove that was to casually gesture to the chibis.
She was half tempted to offer him something for his ear, but then it felt awkward with the other injured civilians around, and just kind of hung back again, willing to dig around in the bags her packmule had been carrying if asked but not exactly announcing her helpfulness. Again, just there to be the babysitter.

Hygiea nearly dropped her glowing orb when she noticed Zirconia take human form. Seeing how she was still getting used to ********* doing it, a new transformation had her pretty much transfixed and staring.
The dress, the hair, the ears the tail. Hygiea was staring, eyes wide and in awe. "Wooooooow...."
[I have to go to work, but if you yell at her to get back to work.. assume she did xD; ]

Camelot hadn't known the guardian cats could take human forms until today, but he was trying to take it in stride until he could corner one and ask them about it later. For now, he had things he needed to focus on.
Maybe Zirconia, if she felt like talking to him again...
"Ah, excellent job. Thank you very much," Taking the herbs and thanking Hygiea on Harmony's behalf, he smiled and seemed to be proud of her ability to make the herbs. That was a useful talent to have, to be sure.
His attention returned to the injured girl on the sleeping bag, letting the others do as they needed to while he and Hesperis tended to Harmony. It had been long enough, and he imagined she was getting a little frustrated with all the distraction.
"Here," he said, helping her to sit up without actually sitting up, just lifting her head enough so she might be able to swallow the herbs without much difficulty. "Take these."

"Right... Aliens and Magic..."
This was a hard day for Eric.
"So, if you're not too busy to explain, where are we? Are we in some magic castle, or on another world? And how did we get here?"
He didn't mind bugging the cat woman as much, since she didn't seem as busy as the rest. He wanted to tread lightly though, he was still worried one of these magic types would turn him into a newt. Now that there were aliens, the concept of having his brain eaten was on the table.

As soon as Varya got to Virgo, she was ushered into the infirmary. Which isn't necessarily something that she minded, and the sight of water made her want to do nothing more than jump straight into it, leaves or no.
As a clueless civilian, Varya had not had any experiences with monsters, Negaversers, Senshi, or Knights. Meeting them now, in the midst of everything, was just another weird thing. Though, it was significantly less weird than a giant space whale. Or turning purple. Or a rainbow road running through space. Or arriving just in time to watch a talking cat turn into a human.
Maybe she needed more than bandaging. Right now, Varya felt like she needed professional mental help. "What the hell." Grey eyes blinked owlishly as she moved closer, right arm hanging limply at her side. At least it wasn't her dominate hand. Deciding to ignore the cat for now, she turned to one of the other folks in odd garb, eyes resting on what seemed to be the oldest of the gathered crowd (Camelot). It was to him that she went first, hoping to make some sense out of everything. "I...I need some help with my arm." Var gestured to the bloody appendage a bit meekly, not knowing what else to say.
