"Duram! Where are you going?!" Kukiko couldn't keep up with her little troublemaker. The light snowfall quickly turned to a bitter blizzard, and they were caught in the middle of it. What was supposed to be a quick walk to enjoy some fresh air, turned into her chasing her Roati around in some really bad and ever worsening weather. She shivered and pulled her furs closer to try and warm up a bit before continuing. She could still see Duram looking back at her, but the blizzard was making it hard. If this gets any worse, I wont be able to see him at all! "Come on, Duram, we have to get out of here!" She shouted over the howling winds.
As difficult as ever, Duram pressed forward, causing her run after him. What's gotten into him? He's stubborn but not usually this stubborn! After catching up with him, Duram bleated and headbutted a strange looking mound of snow. "Oh, what in the world Duram?! You dragged me all the way here for a snow covered rock? I mean it's a weird looking rock, but still! It's too cold for this!" She kicked the rock, but to her surprise it was somewhat... Squishy...? Kukiko pushed the snow away to reveal a bloody boy as she shrieked. She slapped the boy's face several times to see if he was alive. "Hey, what are you doing sleeping here, mister?! Come on, wake up!"

Kukiko retrieved some bandages and salves from the other room. "Mom, I need hot water and some rags." Her mom nodded and went into another room. Kukiko turned to her new-found patient and was surprised when she saw the boy had taken all of his clothes off. "I see we are eager to strip..." She shook her head and started cleaning the boy's wounds after her mom brought the materials she asked for. Like an ebb and flow, she dipped the cloth in the bucket and wiped his cuts, applying gentle pressure to the wound to try to stop the bleeding. Thankfully the cold had kept the blood from flowing too much, so stopping the bleeding wasn't too bad.
Once she felt the bleeding stopped enough, she applied some of the healing salve. "Oh, this will probably sting, you should brace yourself." She knew her after the fact tip wouldn't help, but no one said sarcasm was her weak suit. After the salve was applied, she wrapped the cut in bandages.
"Well, I guess that's all for now. You should rest a bit." She took the bucket back to her bathroom to dump the bloody water and wash her hands. He might actually make it, that is if whatever struck him wasn't poisoned... That was probably the worst case scenario, but she didn't think this was the case. Ah, well, we will just see how this plays out. She headed back to the guest room to check on her patient.

It was as if his mind was being ensnared in a miasma of pain and confusion. Zyphire's body was covered in a dense, cold sweat that mingled with the crimson rivets of blood that seeped from his various wounds. The biggest one, the slash that cut up his arm from elbow to shoulder, was caked in a mixture of ice and dried blood - something that almost made it seem as if his arm was paralyzed inside a natural cast. As his body laid there on the bed a slow warmth began to revitalize him and he even felt his fingers twitch as his body was stimulated by the warm water that was enticing his blood to flow once more.
Zyphire was beginning to awaken to reality yet he wished to withdrawal his awareness once the stinging pain caught his attention. As she applied the salve his upper body jerked upwards in reaction to the unwanted intrusion, something that created even more agony than the salve, "Ouch!" He hissed through clenched teeth, the noise of escaping air followed by a few rather unchaste curses, "Thanks for the warning." He managed to quip before laying his head back down on the pillow. Even if he wanted to be grateful for the girl who had saved his sorry a** the shifter was still too irritated from everything that had occurred - the pain, the nearly freezing to death, the fact that he had even allowed himself to receive such severe wounds, and dammit it was cold! So much for being adjusted to the weather up here. Well perhaps now that he had donated even more blood to the land it would be willing to fully adopt him and accept him as one of its children. Bah. Who needed Zena's blessing to roam there? I'll do as I damn well please. He harrumphed to himself before attempting to turn his head so that he could stare after the girl who had disappeared from view once more.
But would resting in a strange household be ideal? He snorted at her words before turning again to stare at the ceiling. The wooden beams were still fuzzy, a side effect of nearly dying he supposed, but it seemed that he was in a well established place that was almost akin to the manor that his cousins owned. Speaking of which was he even anywhere in the vicinity of Talisia's home? That had been his destination until the blizzard swept over the lands and sent him astray. Now he had almost no idea of where he was - the thought of which caused the shifter to sigh before slowly turning so that he could stare at that doorway again for the girl to enter from, "How's it look, doc?" He managed to whisper the tease as she finally came back inside, his gaze bright despite the pain his body was currently experiencing.

Zyphire rolled his eyes, "Thanks for the update." He quipped before pausing to glance over the Zenan. Now that he wasn't in a hazy fog of pain he could actually admire how cute she was and obviously that would prompt any cheesy flirtations, "Though I suppose I could have been confused for a moment since it looks like an angel saved me. Are you an ice fairy perhaps?" He grinned towards her, "Too pretty to be an average gal."
But his grin did falter as she commented upon how he received the wounds that she was beginning to bandage, "Oh trust me the blades were sharp enough. What saved me is how I dodged most of the blows...well for the most part until some thug came from behind and knocked me forward." He winced as she touched a tender area that was bruised, "Needless to say that they received double what they gave me." Those dirty bastards with their cheap tricks and underhanded attack patterns deserved to lose their heads - they were fortunate he allowed them to walk away in one piece. Well save for the man whose fingers he may have cut off with a good upper swing...but anyways!
"You could call me darling, handsome, or even that if you would like." Replied Zyphire with a chuckle, an action which caused him to wince once more, "But if you want my name it's Zyphire. What about you, angel?"
