Kyrian was looking for things...pretty things. Perhaps shiny things. Just things that were from Matori for his shark. He hummed as he walked along. Having to leave his bag to allow for better balance. Rukeia was back there watching the bag as Toriu stalked along the ridge to watch his Momma. Kyrian hummed a little tune as he looked around for something to bring to Mano. He let out a happy squeak as he found a stone that held pinks and golds. He bent down to pick it up. It was a palm sized stone. He smiled as he tucked it away into his pouch where he had the stone of blues and greens.
He saw another stone. One of greens and purples it seemed. He walked over to where it was nestled between two rocks. He reached down to pluck it up. Only to find that it wasn't a stone...but a baby Bushi! He found this out as he felt a sudden sharp pain in his wrist. Buckling he caught the stone with his other hand to see a baby Bushi hanging from his left wrist. He whimpered. "Oh...I'm sorry sweetie. I didn't know you were sleeping...ok. Let me go and I'll put you right back...ok..."
He waited a few moments. Later on, he'll look back on that as a idiot move. Right now...he didn't. The baby eventually let go. Kyrian feeling a bit wobbly, put it back where it was before stumbling his way back towards where his bag was. He felt Toriu dart to his side. He breathed out. "Tor...Mano...go...Mano..." he was led back to the bag where he promptly collapsed by it.
Toriu meanwhile took off as soon as he could. The green radaku scenting for Mano. Bolting to where the male was by some grace of a deity watching over Kyrian. Toriu let out a yip that was unique to him. Hoping that Mano would hear him and follow.

Mano was fishing for what he hoped would be lunch when he Toriu arrived, dancing around his feet, making a ruckus. it was something that had him starring down at the little beast, trying to figure out exactly what he was up to. It wasn't as though the beast didn't do this a lot, trying to get his attention, and it tended to be because someone was bothering Kyrian. He set to reeling in his line before he asked, "Is someone trying to steal away my Honey again?" He asked of the radaku. Instead of getting his usual answer which tended to be Toriu being displeased and eager to get back the radaku looked... different. There was something about the way that he was dancing around, the way he was whining, that it worried him. Had something actually happened? Was someone actually picking on Kyrian in a way that the blond didn't care for? It was something that had him setting his rod down so that he could scoop up his trident instead before he moved to chase after Toriu. He wasn't sure what was going on but he had a feeling that it wasn't good. A few moments later he was arriving where Kyrian was waiting for him... laying in the dirt. He gave pause, his eyes going wide, before he rushed forward, "Honey!" What was going on? This was definitely not the usual way that Kyrian was found when he was waiting for him. He wasn't posed all cute, wasn't looking flirty, instead he was just... laying there. Mano flipped his weapon around, stabbed it into the ground, and took a knee next to the Wind Tribesman, "Honey? Are you alright? Talk to me!"

Kyrian heard Mano's voice, a bit muffled but it brought him to for a few moments. He weakly rose up to look towards Mano with a soft smile. "Mano...uhm..." he looked confused before pulling himself to half-sit. He lifted the bleeding wrist to show the other. "Bushi...baby...I...I think I scared...Don't feel good."

Mano reached out to take hold of Kyrian's hand in both of his, looking the wound over, before he said, "Ahh... that's not good. Those things have a venomous bite." Kyrian really shouldn't have been messing with a bushi of all creatures, especially a little one since they didn't know how to regulate their bites. Instead of just getting a bit warning n** it looked like the thing might have chewed on his wrist instead. Not a good sign, meaning they would need to get him looked at quickly. Reaching into Kyrian's pack he dug out a water skin, popping it open so that he could pour it over the wound, rinsing it out best that he could do. Once the wound had been rinsed out he got to his feet. The pack was put over his shoulder, Kyrian was scooped up into his arms, and then he took hold of his trident, "Alright! Let's get moving. Toriu, keep an eye out for anymore dangerous creatures." He said before hurrying back toward the village that they were staying in at a dead run. Bushi bites weren't deadly but they were most definitely not fun. Kyrian might end up feverish and sickly for a while... but if they could find a good healer then it should be something manageable. Something that had him asking for directions to the 'best and closest healer' from the very first person that they ran into.

The young Radaku was quick to follow Mano's orders. Keeping pace with the bigger male till they got into the village. While in Mano's arms, Kyrian shivered slightly feeling a chill of some sort. He looked up to the water male. Smiling weakly. Honestly, he lucked out with this guy. Kyrian snuggled into Mano's grasp to make sure he didn't weaken his beloved. Once they were in the village Mano was quickly directed to a small hut on the edge of the village. As he got closer a sudden cry of a Kinfa followed up by a large shadow washing over him was his greeting. The large bird that landed was various shades of off white...almost like a cloud. "Stratus! You start picking fights with would be customers I'll have your feathers for a bed set!!" a female voice sounded off from the side of the hut. The wind female that sauntered out was stunning in her own right. Kyrian's hair was far longer than her's, her hair only brushed her shoulders. Paler by several shades. Their eyes were the same brightness, tho her crystals were pointed as well...they were far darker. She blinked as she watched Mano walk up. Brushing off dirt from her overskirt. "What happened?" Her eyes were on Kyrian, tilting her head to observe the slight shiver. "More importantly...what bit him?"

As he headed for the healer's place he noticed the kinfa that was flying overhead but it was something that barely even registered for him. He was too worried about Kyrian to worry about the not so local wildlife that was flying about and making noise. He'd worry about that later, right now he needed the healer to fix Kyrian up! A moment later said healer arrived in front of him, a rather good looking woman, but it didn't really seem to register either. Instead he held Kyrian out toward her as though he weighed nothing and said, "You have to fix him!" Realizing that the healer was good looking was going to have to wait until later and all flirting was currently on hold. All that mattered in this moment was his Honey and him getting to feel better! After that then maybe he'd actually see the healer as more then just the person that was going to fix his Honey. "Eh? Ah! It didn't bite him, it chewed on him! I swear if that shelled jerk was about when I arrived I'd of dropped kicked him!" He declared, then shook his head and said, "It was a baby bushi or so Honey said."

She blinked at the Matorian male. "Ok...its not deadly...or shouldn't be. The baby's bite is more to ward off would be predators. Come inside." she led the male in humming as she pointed to a slightly higher than usual bed. "Lay him there, if he's awake. Keep talking to him." As Mano moved, Kyrian opened his eyes a bit weakly. Looking up to his beloved. He let out a soft sound to let the other know he was awake. The Healer blinked as she glanced back. "He's going to be slightly weak until I can get this elixir into him." she spoke as she ground up a few plants. Sprinkling them into a small pot that was set over a low fire. She let it gently boil before clicking her tongue. A Tintural waddled into the room, she bent down to pluck a herb off its back before turning. "He needs to chew on this if possible." Kyrian was trying to keep his focus on his mate for the moment. He could hear the female, though he didn't think there was a healer here.

Mano followed the healer inside, his eyes dropping to look Kyrian over, a look of worry in his eyes. Even if the woman said that it shouldn't be deadly that didn't mean that he wasn't going to worry about Kyrian. He was so small and cute and petite! That meant that the venom would effect him more and that made him want to go kick some bushis... but he doubted it would go over well on any side. As such he would hold off on that for the time being. Instead he turned his attention to the woman who was giving him orders, the first one being to lay Kyrian down and to keep him talking. He moved to do just that, sitting on the edge of the bed after. Reaching down he took Kyrian's uninjured hand in his, giving it a kiss, "You need to wake up and talk to me, Honey. Healer's orders." He murmured, turning to look over at the woman who was telling him that Kyrian was going to be weak until she got him an elixir. There was that part of him that wanted to tell her to hurry it up then... but realizing that was quite rude he merely nodded. "See? She's going to get you fixed up in no time." He told Kyrian before he was distracted by the odd, miniature bushi that walked into the room. He found himself starring at it, taking in the garden on its back, before he starred at the herb she was offering him, "Huh? Oh... yeah, I should be able to do that..." Reaching out he took the leaf and offered it to Kyrian, "You're supposed to chew on this, Honey, it will help. I'd offer to take the first bite but... I don't know what it would do to someone not suffering a bushi bite."

Kyrian opened his mouth to take the leaf in. Starting a soft chew he made a face. The leaf was bitter, but he could feel that he was more awake because of it. He managed to shift to sit up a little. Leaning towards Mano as he let his injured hand trial out to the side. The Healer smiled as she walked over, picking up the hand to look over the bite. "Its not discolored. Meaning this was most likely a baby not out of its first year. Which is good. That's before the venom really gets toxic." she placed the hand back on the bed. Turning to finish making something that seemed along the lines of a tea. Walking back she smiled. "Drink this, with that leaf in your mouth." Kyrian made such a face at that. The wind bard looked up to Mano with a pleading look. After a moment he nodded, letting the Healer guide the cup to his lips. Softly sipping at it. Mano would see that Kyrian was not happy with this taste.

Mano gave Kyrian a bit of a smile and said, "Even if it doesn't taste good you have to eat your medicine, Honey. It's for your own good and you know it." He lifted a hand, soothing it through some of his blond locks before he glanced over at the woman as she arrived with the elixir in hand that she'd made up for him. He gave her the space that she needed to help to feed the mixture to Kyrian. The stuff smelled strongly of medicinal herbs which in and of themselves smelled quite bitter. It was something that he was glad that he didn't have to take himself though he didn't say as much. Instead he gave a smile and said, "You're doing well, Honey. Don't worry, it's almost done." Looking to the healer he asked, "Is there anything he can eat or drink after to rinse the taste of our his mouth? Or would that dilute the medicine?" He wanted to help if he could but if it was best that he didn't mix the medicine with other stuff then Mano would understand. He wouldn't like being unable to help but still, whatever was best for Kyrian's health.

Kyrian swallowed the rest of the drink before making a displeased noise. He then looked up to Mano, gently tugging the male closer. When Mano got close enough he pressed a little kiss to the male's cheek. "Thank you for worrying." he muttered. In the back of his mind, Kyrian knew Mano would do this for anyone he cared about. For now though it was a comforting thought that Mano was focused on just him for now. He looked to the female Healer noticing a few similarities with himself. He smiled at her. "Thank you for the help." She chuckled. "Its what I live for, sweetie." she enjoyed moments like these. Watching a mate so protective over their chosen. With a soft hum she thought. "He can, eating after this is highly recommended. That way his body has fortitude towards fighting the sickness that is going to hit." she poured the liquid into a larger container. "Have him drink this...in whatever manner you prefer, at least twice a day." she nodded towards the cup she handed them. "Use that as a means of measuring the amount. If he seems to get weaker instead of stronger..." she knelt down to pluck a few leaves off the small turtle's back. "Have him chew on one of these while he drinks. Or just grind them into the next cup."

Mano gave a bit of a smile, "How could I not worry, Honey? You know that I love you the most." He said, wrapping his arms around him, hugging him tightly, and nuzzled against his golden hair. Kyrian really was a cutie, one that he wanted nothing more then to snuggle tightly, and drag into his lap. He knew that he had to hold off though since he knew that Kyrian needed to recover which meant not getting dragged around by Mano and his desires. Turning his attention then to the healer he listened as she told them what it was that they would need to do going forward. How to give him the medicine, what he could eat and drink along with it, and so on. There was a lot to be done but Mano would do every last thing that was needed and then some to make sure that Kyrian was made healthy again soon. Until that time though he meant to look after his Honey. After taking everything that the healer had to offer to them he said, "I will make sure he takes his medicine, rests up, and gets better." Turning to give Kyrian a glance he asked, "Should we... go now? Or can he rest here for a little while?" He didn't want to rush Kyrian off if possible but if they had to leave now then he would see about carrying him to the inn they were staying in so he could tuck him in.

Kyrian snuggled into Mano, wanting nothing more than to go back to their room and just sleep on the bigger male. He hummed weakly as he listened to the healer. She really knew what she was doing. With a soft inhale he looked up to Mano. "Can we go back to the room? We might be able to get a good meal there." if he had to build up fortitude he wanted to be where he felt remotely safe. The healer nodded. "You can head out now, if you feel that your current homestead....you do have a proper home right?" she paused. "I would highly suggest you find a private place for the two of you. A lot of the inn keepers are bit weird about sickness of any sort in their establishments. If you don't feel free to use the room right back there..." she pointed to a small hallway. A Poscuta skittered out to help point the way.

Mano shifted in place, looking as though he was thinking on it. Now that she mentioned it there was that chance that they wouldn't be allowed back into the inn if they thought that Kyrian was ill. He sure looked it after all... and there was a chance that they wouldn't believe him if he said that it was just a bushi bite. Well, not just a bushi but it wasn't an illness... but would they believe them? "I... we don't have a place of our own yet. I'm working on it but at the moment we're staying in an inn..." Mano said, struggling to find the right words do to his worry for his Honey. How he wanted nothing more then to hug him tight and assure him that everything would be better soon. First they had to figure out where they were heading since the place that Mano was working on wasn't finished yet. It wasn't ready for people to move in despite the work he was putting into it. "Huh?" Mano turned to the woman, eyes going wide, "AH! Yes, please... we need that, need the room. It will be best for my Honey to rest somewhere like this as opposed to an inn where he might not be welcome... and if anything goes wrong you're here to help." She was a healer after all and she had the ability to keep Kyrian safe just in case something happened, in case the bite wound got worse, or in case the medicine didn't agree with him.

The Healer blinked at the male. "Well, go put him back there. I'll keep him here as long as you need me to. I honestly don't get many clients." she shrugged as she turned to get the bed ready for the bard. Kyrian looked up to Mano. "You found a homestead. So that's where you've been vanishing to." He was here now which is all that mattered. The bard shifted to lean into his shark. "Either way, you're here now which I'm thankful for." he let out a soft moan as his head throbbed. "Mano...I think next time I'll need a bodyguard to keep me out of trouble. This sucks."
