Tedan managed to somehow stumble to the red tent on his own power, Fear shield all-but gone and various bite-marks, claw swipes and other such injuries from bugs large and small oozing blood and pus. He didn't quite leave a trail behind him or anything, but it was close. And he was using Ardavan as a sort of crutch. Once inside the tent, he stopped for a moment, wavering back and forth on his feet until he spotted an empty cot.

Then the Sun trainee headed straight (more or less) toward it and collapsed.

"Thank you and its nice to meet you as well," Tori said softly with a little smile as Molly put her own blanket around the Lifers shoulders. With that second blanket Tori did feel warmer and she was grateful for it as well.

Tori meeped softly as she was pulled into a group hug as she was totally not expecting that one bit, but she didn't resist either. After a few seconds Tori was also wrapped her arms around the others and hugging them. "Thanks guys I really needed that," Tori said feeling a little more like herself she still wanted all the books but it was less now. Aklin murred as he was happy that his hunter had at least of now stopped retreating into herself, later on they were going to have a talk after they were back on the island.

Bix gave everyone a last squeeze and then finally released them. "I'm glad you guys are okay." His voice was a bit softer than usual but it was to be expected. They would all be haunted by what happened, it was almost a definite. He spied Gale on a cot with Eva beside him and was content to know he was okay. He didn't need to bother him.

Unfortunately the albino hunter saw Tedan collapse into the tent. "Help me guys?" He hadn't even bandaged himself yet but felt strong enough (with his friends help) to hurry to axe-weilder's side. He looped Tedan's arm around his shoulder and dragged him to the cot he'd just abandoned.

"You guys don't need to wait around.." He was unsure if they had things to do, other people to check on. "I'm going to make sure someone helps him.. then maybe get some bandages. I feel better though.. I think."

"Yeah, I've been working on convincing him not to provoke people every time he opens his mouth. Results are mixed." Jordan snorted. "Maybe as a group effort. ... I just grabbed the nearest person I saw; probably would've been smarter of me to partner up beforehand, but that wasn't a real organized run."

He relaxed a little more. Harrison was warm. "No idea. Long enough for us to take a nap, I hope, anyway."

She noticed. The trembling of his hands--it was hard to ignore when his fingers were curled around her own like that. She didn't say anything, but she clasped his hands together between hers, giving them a firm squeeze. Though silent, she hoped that the look on her face and her gestures would be enough to convey her feelings to him--It's okay, and me too.

Maybe some would see it as a weakness to be afraid, but Eva? Eva thought it was what made them human. Their compassion was what divided them from those monsters.

She drew her hands back, smiling and giving a little nod of her head. "Yeah, get some rest. I think someone is coming over now, so..." Eva turned to briefly eye the Hunter who was headed their way, and then looked back to Gale. "If you need me, just call me or text me. I'll be there if you need help or if you just want someone to talk to, okay?" She pressed her lips to his forehead in a chaste kiss before taking a step back.

Her own eyes were starting to feel a little heavy, but first and foremost, she needed to find Reine and Otto. After that, she could get some much-needed rest.

...Until things inevitably went wrong again, that was. Considering their job and their track record, Eva was more than a little prepared for something terrible to happen again.

Jude meandered on in pausing for a half a second to watch the other life forms around him before he just went about getting bandages and the like for his minor scrapes and owies. He was feeling a bit hollowed out and used up but with his constant expression of sadness and disappointment in the world it was probably hard to tell if he was feeling anything at all.

So fatalistic.

He wandered to an empty cot and started to attend to some of the wounds. Maybe he'd look into other things in a few moments. Stuff to keep him busy.

"Yeah, well, some stupid s**t is more likely to end in asskickery. That's the kind we're trying to cut down on." Jordan was smiling, though. He'd been a little apprehensive about whether Rep was going to be a touchy subject, but the brief period of cookie-induced camaraderie seemed to have muted any lingering awkwardness.

He sighed. "We were supposed to look disorganized, and I guess we succeeded. Damn, I still want to see if some of the other intermediates might be willing to help me with getting some of the chaos under control when we get sent out on big missions. When we get back." If we get back. He fell silent a moment, then went on, "It ought to be easier to sleep here, anyway. You want me to track down a blanket or something?"
