Welcome to Gaia! ::

A warm hand on his forehead. At first he had simply thought it to be the woman who he had almost butt heads with but when he heard the rising hysteria in this voice he knew it wasn't so. He could recognize this voice no matter what. The voice belonged to Hyo. He understood some of the words coming out of her mouth. Not a lot but some... Yet not enough to understand the context of what she was saying.

Raising his head he saw the motions made by the dark skinned woman who was raising his sleeve up higher. She said but a single word and pointed towards one of the many groups of people. What had once been one large crowd had split up into smaller groups. The woman was telling Hyo to leave, to join one of them.

Taking a brief look at the man on the ground beside him and suddenly had a horrible vision of the same thing happening to her. Grabbing onto the sleeve of her hanbok with the hand that Shee had not sterilized he spoke for the first time in large company.

"Don't go."

It had a slight accent to it but otherwise correct in pronunciation. There was as pleading look to his eyes, one of fear. Holding tighter onto the sleeve he repeated himself.

"Don't go Hyo."

His eyes were soley on her. Oblivious to the commotion and other people around them.

..so apparently, he shouldn't be here.
Hyo looked at the groups that were forming themselves - he didn't really understand on what conditions were they made, but it was pretty obvious that everyone was going there, so he also should. He can always ask about it those other people.

But then, Abel moved his hand, and caught his sleeve.
And asked him to stay.
Abel's voice wasn't something he heard often. His friend seemed pretty timid for a demon, and Hyo accepted that. And for him to ask him out loud to stay...
...and the fear in his eyes... Is he dying after all..? No, it can't be, they wouldn't act the way they did if he was...probably.
He looked at the boy carefully, looking for any traces of recent wounds, and when he didn't find such, he breathed out, now calmed.
So why is he scared?
But that didn't matter much. He was, so Hyo should stay with him.
Only that woman, obviously important (probably a princess?) ordered him to go, so he should. Hyo started getting up, but...but...
He looked into the woman's eyes pleadingly, and asked "Priis, I can stay with Abel? I know not what do, but...priis stay?"

Del turned her head when she heard something about food. Del now made her choice, she is going to stay behind and assist with research. Well, as long as there is food involved, she could do anything. "Del-gerd-zaya." Del said towards Rodney. Just to make sure that she was going to stay behind. Drumming her fingers together, she could feel her insides rumble. She wanted some food right away.

Estrelas nodded to Archer. "You right, Mista Archaa. Ah take care of sheep too," she declared, then looked a bit happier. "See? We all do thing and it make me think Misstaa Ee-narr over there do well to it!" she exclaimed, rubbing her fingers, but then stopped. "Epaninny, what you do, what you do?" she asked. "You choose soon- Ah think there hungry person nearby!"

With Einar in place and being, thankfully, relatively quiet (although she knew this was just from exhaustion), Shee, a pair of shears in hand, began to hack away at the man's jacket. When that had fallen away, she took apart the shirt underneath and silently cursed the man for having such complicated clothing. The bowtie, with it's beautiful shade of pink, was discarded to the side, cut in half. She felt almost wistful and for a moment regretted it.

His torso was a mess of scars, and nestled in between the criss-crosses, right under his ribcage, was the bullet wound. There was blood everywhere. She had forgotten to bring towels, which just only now realized. Grabbing handfuls of gauze instead, she wiped away as much of it as she could, so that his torso was relatively free of blood for the moment. More gauze was used for cleaning the area; she winced as the clear liquid hit his skin, and tried to be quick about it, wiping the area dry as she began to wrap a bandage around his waist. "Lai, Asmadai, lift him a little so that I can get around."

As she was wrapping, she heard the plaintive requests of Abel and Hyo. It would have been so romantic, at any other time. She felt rather worried as she realized she didn't care about it too much. She had been spending too much time around Wraith. That could be dealt with a little later, however, she thought.

"Lokiari," Shee was again thankful for the woman's presence, "could you prepare a catheter, cannula and syringe? There's saline, and everything needs to be flushed. I think we can use a peripheral venous catheter to do this."

She didn't really know how to tell Hyo and Abel that it was fine that they stay together, as long as no one fainted again (she wasn't so sure about either of their consistutions; they seemed to be doubly delicate when put together). At least Abel could talk; she assumed he could understand some rudimentary English as well. "Mmmmm... OK, stay. But do what I say."

Boards or stretchers seemed safer than a bathrobe, but if there was nothing else. Rodney had nodded his head, feeling a little dense for having not noticed the use of it before. The woman seemed medically inclined, far more so than he might have been - and that had raised a number of questions. Was she going to stay? She seemed plainly useful everywhere. In control. In control people were good at anything!

But Rodney did not want to distract her with unnecessary statements or questions when she was clearly busy, and there was writing to be done. Sure enough, she would place herself, but he would say he needed to remember to ask her how she remained so calm.

The pencil had flicked against the paper as Rodney took name for name down. Asmadai, Johannes, Archer, Del. Four names down for researchers. The bullet name and number above their category, he'd leave the paper with them when it was all done. Lai, Mokoysis, and himself for surveillance - pending. Estrelas was cooking. Estrelas? Well, at least there was one recognizable name! He had smiled as he added the new category once he had heard the statement from the crowd.

"Alright..." He had murmured. "I've got all the names down right now. Or, the ones that I have so far." He had taken the paper, lowering his arm to his side with it as he had looked up at Johannes upon hearing the question. He wasn't entirely sure how it would work. "I ... I think it'd be good for them both to go at the same time. That's two ways to find the answer. Two possibilities is better than one possibility, isn't it?"

He had heard something somewhere within the mess about keeping a level head, about not knowing where Audun was. He thought he had heard something about a radio... That sounded smart. Incredibly so. At least to him, it had. They had to find the guy in order to do anything, and that certainly seemed a logical trick.

Lai turned back to Shee as the woman gave her instructions. He crouched behind Einar's head and slipped his arms beneath the Norwegian's arms, taking his wrists. Lai had seen the scars on Einar's arms and neck before, but never his chest. While some would be repulsed, it made Lai love the man more. He only wished he could have seen this of Einar's own will and not in this scenario, but that shouldn't be on his mind right now. He saw the wound, but looked up instead.

The Russian looked to the priest and nodded once, indicating that he was. He double checked his hold and when he was sure of it spoke up. "Yes, on three Father. One...Two...Three..." He lifted with the priest, but unsure of how far of "a little" Shee wanted him raised he went by Asmadai's lead. When the priest stopped, so did he, and he held Einar with a steady and gentle hand.
