A Bloodied Diabi
Tallulah was playing with the adorable little hatchlings of the clan that he was staying with when he first caught the scent on the wind, that of blood. It was heavy, meaning there was a lot of it... and it was a scent that was too familiar to Tallulah, he'd smelled it before. He looked from side to side, breathed in deeply, then looked down to the little keinling, "Wait here." He said, giving them each a little nuzzle before he rushed forward, toward the scent of blood. The scent was far too thick, it meant that the one that was bleeding was doing so heavily, something that terrified Tallulah to his very core. Why... what had happened? Eyphah had left with his orbs vowing to come back more powerful then ever but now he was injured? Had the ritual not gone accordingly?
The moment he spotted the Diabi Drakein he gave a cry of shock, watching the manner in which Eyphah crash landed in the sand before forcing himself to his feet, his eyes wild, snarling as he went. He was trying to get home to his clan, that much was certain, but if he would make it, that was the question. Quickening his pace the Peisio Merkein closed the ground between then, gathering power to him as he did so, preparing a spell. The moment he was close he shifted himself so that he could catch the snarling Diabi against him, carefully, not wanting to rough him up anymore then he already was. Looking at the bleeding Diabi Tallulah gave a soft sound in his throat, "Eyphah... I have you, hold on..." He said in what he hoped was a soothing tone of voice before he cast the first spell, this one able to heal him though only to a degree. He gathered his strength, casting a second time, this time at least able to heal the wounds over that Eyphah had been given, stopping the bleeding.
Eyphah gave a rumbling sound in his throat before his weight collapsed more fully on Tallulah. His eyes sank half closed and he went still, seemingly realizing that he was safe at the moment. No reason to fight any longer, he'd made it back, he was in the protective grasp of Tallulah and he was able to see others coming their way, his mother among them. Only when he saw her did the last bit of his raging adrenaline seem to fade away and he was out.
A cry escaped from the large Gaili Drakein as she saw her son in such a state, quickening her pace, "Ah! Eyphah?! Is he alright? Is he dead?" She demanded of Tallulah before leaning in close, sniffing at him, "Ahh... what is this...? Aiskala? In Eowyn...?" That made no sense at all, why would they be here? Wasn't it too hot here for those ice crawlers? The mere thought that they had dared to come here to Eowyn to attack her son, if that were the case she would see to their wholesale slaughter she thought to herself darkly before she moved to pick her son up with her tail, laying his limp form over her back, "We are going back to out clan home, gather everyone!" She called out to those around them before her dark eyes were back on Tallulah, "Come, Tallulah, you will work on healing my son. It is up to you." She said before the entire group was on the move, abandoning where they hanging out toward a more mountainous area, a place where they would be able to go into their caves and stay safe and out of sight. If they were in fact under attack by those ice crawlers they would need to be ready for it.
Tallulah gave a nod of his head, looking between Eyphah and the blood that was soaking into the sand. He had no idea what had done this but whatever it was it was powerful... something that intimidated him just thinking about it. When he was given the task of healing Eyphah he had only nodded, it was something that he would have done regardless, even if it exhausted him completely. He would use all of his power to make sure that Eyphah was made whole again he thought to himself, hurrying to keep up with the Drakein Clan as they made their way toward the safety of the caves. He hoped that the got their quickly as he wanted to set to casting another spell on his teacher to help him more. He'd dragged him back from the brink but he felt that there was still more that he could do to make sure that he didn't wake up to find himself crippled by whatever had attacked him. No, Tallulah wouldn't allow that to happen! He would save his friend no matter what!

Eating Fish with Tallulah
Two large, tasty Erlkin were what Eyphah would wake to when he finally came to. They were sitting nearby, their scent tantalizing to his senses, but he couldn't quite reach them even when he reached out a clawed forefoot toward them. Damn but he wanted those fish he thought to himself in a somewhat dazed manner. He snapped his jaws at the fish, as though beckoning them to flop their way into his mouth, before he gave up and just grumbled instead. Stupid fish, didn't they know their place! The place that was in his mouth! It took him a moment to really focus passed the closest fish and he saw Tallulah there. The pretty colored Merkhora was tearing one of the fish apart into smaller pieces, even going through the trouble of removing the bones, and for a moment he wondered why. Why go through so much trouble for something that he knew anyone could just chomp their way through? Didn't the sea dwelling Merkhora subsist mostly on fishy things?
It was as Tallulah picked up the pile of fish carefully in his jaws, bringing it over to Eyphah, that the Diabi realized that the well prepared fish wasn't for Tallulah, it was for him. The sea goer had fetched and prepared fish for him? It was something that he would probably need to thank him for, huh? It was one of those things that he at times had a hard time dealing with but this time would be rather easy, wouldn't it? Especially since he knew beyond a shadow of a doubt that Tallulah had mostly likely been the one to save his life. It wasn't only just the fish but before that too. He looked up at the Peisio as he came closer and said, "Seems we are... even now... huh?" His voice felt so hoarse and gravely, a sound that indicated that he had been out for some time.
Tallulah gave a bit of a jump, nearly dropping the fish, before turning to look at his teacher. After what he'd said seemed to filter in he gave a bit of a smile, "Yes, it would seem so." He murmured, tail swishing behind him, "I was so worried... I'm glad that you are awake, Eyphah." He set the fish down carefully within the Diabi's reach before asking, "Are you able to eat it? Should I help to feed you?" He would do whatever was needed to make sure that the Diabi pulled through and not just because the clan leader, as well as the clan itself was breathing down his neck a bit. No reason to worry too hard on all of that, not when he'd of put his all into healing Eyphah even without all of the 'encouragement' as it were.
There was a moment where it appeared as though Eyphah were debating over the options given to him before he finally said, "I think I will be able to do it myself." He knew that he was exhausted, even though he felt as though he'd been sleeping forever, but he wasn't going to let that drag him down. No, he had to do this, at to feed himself, to regain his strength! This fish, a most wonderful and unexpected gift, would be the first step toward that. Leaning in his opened his mouth and closed it around a mass of the sweet, fresh Erlkin, lifted it up and tilted his head so that he could swallow it down. No reason to bother with chewing, not when Tallulah had so helpfully removed the bones from the meat. There was no reason not to just gulp it down as quickly as possible... well, save for the threat of choking. That was really the only thing that stopped him from trying to swallow it all down in one bite. Instead he forced himself to take it slowly for now.
"Seeing you eat is a good sign. The fish will help you to get stronger and regain your strength in a way that my magic is unable to do." He told the Diabi, knowing that there were just some things that had to be done the natural way, one of those things being recuperation after such awful wounds, "Ahhh... Eyphah, if you don't mind me asking... what happened?" Those wounds were so strange and he just couldn't really figure out what had caused them. They were beyond anything that he knew personally.
Eyphah paused a moment, starring down at the fish, teeth gritting, eyes narrowing, before he spat out in a hostile tone, "A two-legged wench attacked me! I was just trying to get some food and she stabbed me in the back! Vile creature, I swear I will make a stew of her one day!" Shaking his head he went back to gulping down the fish, crunching down on it now as though imagining it was the pink haired female that he was chewing up instead of fish.
Tallulah gave a slight wince before he leaned in, giving Eyphah a little nuzzle,"I am glad she didn't finish you off." He murmured, having been so worried about Eyphah for so long. The idea that a two-legged female was wandering around attacking their kind wasn't something that sat well with him. They would need to be more careful, keep their guard up, and not go too close to that sort if they were going to be so violently dangerous toward the other species of the world. It was no wonder a lot of their kind seemed to hate the two-legs so much. Tallulah never really had much in the way of contact with them but after this incident he couldn't say that he ever wanted to really get close to them if this was what htey were like. Best that he avoid those sorts if he wanted to continue on in the world unheeded and unharmed.
Turning his attention back to Eyphah instead of fretting over the dangerous female he said, "There is another fish if you want me to tear it up for you." He offered, then added, "Once you are done eating you should probably get more rest. It's good that you are up and coherent but I don't think that you are good to go quite yet." He would much rather that he stay resting for a good time yet, whether or no the Diabi actually did so though, that was the question.
Turning to give Tallulah a glance Eyphah finally said, "I will eat all the fish you have to offer, Tallulah, and if rest if what you suggest I suppose I can do that." As much as he didn't really want to lay around anymore then he knew he already had. Still, even just eating was exhausting to best that he listen to his healer, for now at least. Two Erlkin later and the Diabi was once more snoozing away with Tallulah looking after him, leaving only once to update Eyphah's mother on his progress before swiftly returning to his side.
