Welcome to Gaia! ::

“Yeah I definitely don’t mind seeing Callixtus first. After all we need to get the stingers out to help reduce the amount of venom you guys come into contact with. I have some mild pain killers in the first aid kit as well. Since Callixtus seems to be in a lot of pain I don’t mind giving him or Nashira one… just tell me any allergies to meds if you have them” Samhain stated. He took the tweezers when they came back and made sure that all the stingers were out of the wounds and carefully applied some antiseptic to clean as best he had before placing the ice wraps over the bandages. He then repeated the same process on Nashira. “I wish I knew some healing spells or something but hopefully that should help and start to help reduce any swelling that might occur.”

Of course it was only a matter of time until the bees stung someone that was allergic and Claire got everyone moving. Samhain frowned when they came across a cliff and looked up. He had noticed it was rather treacherous and looked back to his ‘pack’. “If any one got really hurt I can carry them up with me if you don’t mind flying”

They had been finally clear of the bees for what seemed like about ten minutes before they arrived at the next obstacle. This time, Claire informed them that they would need to climb the boulders in front of them. Lillith sighed heavily, she had done a bit of rock climbing as a kid, but it had never exactly been her favourite activity.

The dryad did several stretches in preparation for the physical exertion, in hopes that it might aid her in some slight way. In the least it should help her avoid getting hurt.

Nashira was so glad that Samhain was there, and watched as he treated Callixtus first, then closed her eyes as he tended to her. "It could have been worse." She said softly. The bees could have attacked everyone. "Ah, Samhain, thank you so much for the treatment." She said softly when he finished and she held some ice to her stings. Claire's inconsolable sobs of panic weren't really comforting, even though she appreciated the fact that the other felt bad that people had been hurt. But really, they weren't helping matters.

After they'd had a little chance to rest, the group was marching again, and they came to a rather unstable looking rocky climb. "Unbelievable." Nashira murmured. She looked at Callixtus, wondering if he, and others were able to make it up. When Samhain offered to carry someone up, Nashira figured that him taking Callixtus was the better idea. "...Wait for us at the top?" She asked the two boys, sort of joking, but not really. By the time they all got up there, they may need a hand. "We should be careful... and I may need a hand." She said to the others before they would start the climb.

She was very glad that she didn't slip on the rocks during the climb. Perhaps it was because she was taking it so slowly because of the stings that she managed to make it to the top unharmed.

Oh thank goodness, the bees didn't follow them for long... Neptune panted when they came to a stop from their escape, fanning himself lightly to cool off. It was quite a bit warmer up here... he wasn't sure if he liked it very much. "Y-Yes, I'm okay. A-are you okay?" He looked Zahneel over, as if he'd be able to spot a bee sting or something with his eye sight.

Thankfully, despite the amount of stung hikers, things seemed to be moving forward again.

Sort of.

The boulders were.... intimidating, to say the least. He somehow managed to scramble up over the obstacle without getting injured, though! Once on the other side, he waited for Zahneel to make sure she'd be fine, too.

“That’s good to hear. While I do have medicine just in case someone is, bee sting allergies are very serious and it worries me that we don’t seem to have a plan to deal with serious injuries. I mean I know we all signed something about minor injuries but still…” Samhain trailed off after giving Callixtus the pain meds. “And you’re absolutely welcome Nashira. I’m just glad I was able to get to you guys without much incident, and could help”

He smiled as he caught Bebe's statement as she came back. “And it’s totally fine, after everything that’s happened today and everyone than we met yesterday, a little topic at that I’m planning to be a doctor is easily forgotten. I’m just glad I took the class and know a little bit on what to do.” Samhain replied to Bebe’s comment. He turned towards Callixtus again. “Don’t worry, I’m glad to help and you should take it easy. You’re doing us a nice favor by taking all the pictures so this way I can say thanks”

He did have to chuckle at Bebe’s joke. “Well I can always come back down, in fact coming back down would probably be easier. It’s a lot easier to pick up weight when you are already in the air then pushing yourself up off the ground with it” Samhain stated. However he was glad that Bebe was giving Nashira a hand since he really had to focus on keeping his footing and making sure he didn't hurt either of them . Samhain eventually got both Callixtus and himself up to the top. He hadn’t really flown them up but more glided/hopped up and used his wings for a speed boost and balance. When everyone was up the cliff thing he quickly checked them all over for injures. Luckily this time no scrapes or bruises or anything more serious had occurred.

"I'm okay," she said, smiling up into his worried face. "Honest."

Once everyone had started moving again, Zahneel felt a little better. The bees had stayed behind. Relaxing slightly, she once again raised her camera to snap a few shots and made sure one of them was Neptune as he began to scale the boulders. Watching for a moment before starting her own climb, she thought he was doing pretty well.

As she climbed to the top, she couldn't help but mutter under her breath, "At least Nature isn't trying to attack this time."

Patches liked to think she had a decent amount of stamina. She worked out and got outside often enough to at least stay in shape. This tour was turning into something else all together though. With falling rocks, bees, the burning sun, and everything else she was definitely getting worn out. She would perk up every now and that at the sight of something new, snap a picture, and than right back to the walking. She was totally happy to hear Claire announce that they had almost made it to their first spot.

"Hopefully! If anything we'll make sure you can get a lot to drink." her tail had just started to wag again, and then the came across the boulders. That was going to be a hard climb. She wanted to make sure Mahuyah could make it up first, so she waited for her friend to finish before tackling them herself.

Ugh, her upper body strength was not something she needed to boast about ever. Slowly she huffed and puffed her way up the boulder, grabbing onto what holds she could find and pushing herself up with her paws. She was panting pretty hard by the time she got to the top, but at least she didn't hurt herself.

She looked up at Mahuyah, hands on her knees and resting for a moment before continuing on. "I'm gonna be really sad if there isn't some kind of pool for me to jump into at the end of this...."


EVERYONE
Feel free to stop Patches to take a picture with her or have yours taken with someone else~ ♥
