Welcome to Gaia! ::

Roland remains quiet, just letting out a sigh to know that that dude who JUST kicked his a** is here to protect him while someone's there to help him out. "Lady, at this rate? You could roll me down the road and around the corner, and it wouldn't effect me for s**t. I can't feel much of anything." Roland was pretty much bored at this rate, and really would have loved to get back to the hospital. Cause, you know... he'd like to feel... something.

It was possible that the pain had shut down part of his brain enough to make his brain just... not work. "Yeah, works for me. Just not interested in being dead... So... I guess take me wherever the doctors are. That'd be great miss..."

Roland nodded, his head sorta spinning. "Yeah, seems right." He was pretty quiet, and with the addreniline overload, his body had pulled every ounce of energy he had. The sensation of those wires around his body was an unusual one, but he had no real complaints. Not really. He was alive.

So, once inside, Roland is lifted up by doctors onto a table and rushed into the Emergancy room and Mat was asked a few simple questions by nurses, like her relationship to the man, how she found him, typical hospital stuff.

Roland was quickly injected with a nice bit of anistesia.

She grimaced, then shrugged, which was hard to do in her position, and turned her eyes upward. "I just asked him whether he would like me to put an end to his pain." she said in a clear, cold voice, lifting her chin up. "Reasonable enough question, in my opinion."

(( I do not like getting stuck in one place and having whoever I am interacting with.. not show up for x amount of days ))

"Hey! You remember that.." Reiko said to the crowd that he had drawn from all this sudden action. Busy day. "The 200k isn't worth it if you gotta spend it all on reconstructive surgery."

His hands dropped to his sides and began swaying as he walked on down the street, parting the crowd like the Red Sea and continuing on.

"Strata's too hot and Aekea's the closest city? Hmm.."

Siat disappeared earlier... and was busy with other stuff.

Impossible. Reiko was gone. Sucks for Siat.

PHEW!!! Arch stared up in awe at the magnificence of the northern gate. The lanky man was humbly dressed in a raggedy travel-worn, faded dark blue kimono that was caked with the ruddy brown dirt of the dessert that was flecked with rusty spots of dried blood. The raggedy torn edges of his meger kimono whipped around his legs violently in the wind. Arch placed his fingers at the edge of his wide brimmed sakkat, and brought it lower over his eyes. It had been a foolish mistake to press on through the beating sun, and it would surely have cost him his life if her were any lesser of a man, but the sighting of the city in the distance last night had emboldened him to continue on further.

Now he was drawing on the last of his strength, and his weary body was badly in need of water and rest, despite that his expression didn't show it. Arch stretched his arms out into the air and resecured the black bracers covering the top of his wrists and hands before turning back over his shoulder behind him

"COME ON YOU LAZY KITTEN!!!!!!!!" He cried out behind him to the enourmous white tiger slumping behind him. The enourmous beast's leaf green swept back armor glinted in the high dessert sun. Her protection consisted of two rounded, swept back shoulder pauldrons, an egg shaped breastplate, and two pairs of matching anklets, all of them bearing the floure de lis of the wood elves of kalimdor. Luckily her armor wiegheed nearly nothing despite its sturdiness, though the heat and the sun were beginning to take effect on the beast, laden with Arch's equipment and weapons which were strapped to her haunches and along her back.

"I said come ON or Im leaving wihout you!!" Ko no Tsuki knew he'd never leave without her, even though, she let fly a rattling roar into the sky in reproach, and picked up her speed into a graceful sloping gait to catch up to him. Arch patted the his loyal mount on her thick bullish neck and then resumed his march towards the city gates, they'd finally made it, and the rugged journey through the dessert only galvanized thier wills as they entered the beauty of the south.

* Arch was absolutely spellbound, staring wildly about in every single direction, trying to take in every single sight aruond him, he almost ran right into a merchant's stand, and after a garbled apology in arch's clumsy (( insert native tongue )), he hurried off before the man had second thoughts. Shaking his head, he knew he'd have to be more careful from now on, not everyone in his town would be as tolerant of his clumsy absentmindedness. The trek though the dessert had depleted thier very last stores of food and water, and both he and his mount were eager to replinish them. There was only soo many days you could be satisfied with grilled dessert rat, and Ko no Tsuki was most likely fed up with having to settle with the tiny morsels they'd survived on during the journey. Unfortunately, Arch had absolutely no money, and the hunger pangs biting at his stomach wouldn't simply go away. By the way his mount was groaning piteously, she was feeling the same. *

Come on girl, I'll find us something to eat soon, all you ever think aobut is your fur and your belly

*He tried to keep her with him with sarcastic calmness, but evne he knew that wouldn't fill one's stomach. This was when he looked up from the street, and noticed the entrance to the arena. A smile crawled across his face as he stared up, and then turned back to his mount. *

THAT's how we'll get something to eat * he cried out confidently and then reached over and began to untie a long thin object wrapped in a thick brown cloth strapped along the great white tiger's long sleek sloping back.*
