Raeri was either scarier than she though, or Allan was fairly skittish, because just as Raeri barked at him and grabbed at his shoulder, he backed up hastily, clumsily, and obviously painfully. The Vantha man stumbled and fell, cracking himself quite impressively on the ground. However impressive it was that he did that, Raeri was slowly realizing she had jumped to conclusions. She only meant to keep her hold clean and safe with her help... apparently she was fighting her own intentions. She cursed softly under her breath as she reached down and grabbed at Allan's arm, and doing the best she could to hoist him to his feet. "By Morwen's name, you needn't beat yourself up so badly. Here, come with me." Raeri was panicking, yet manage to keep a composed outward appearance. She had to at least appear in control, since she really wasn't.
After they managed to stand Allan up, Raeri refused to let go of him. She'd seen head injuries before, and knew that they could mess with people's heads a bit, understandably so. "Here, let me clean you up and stop the bleeding. It's not that bad of a gash." Raeri, believe it or not, had no medical knowledge of any sort, yet she was correct. The blood wasn't flowing too quickly, which meant he surely wasn't going to bleed out anytime soon.
More or less, she felt responsible. Yet she'd be damned if she would apologize. He was acting suspicious (to her) after all.
Raeri's modest home in the Skyglow Hold luckily wasn't far. She led Allan inside, led him to the only chair in the small one-room apartment, and started digging around through her husband's chest for, well, anything that could be a makeshift bandage. "Don't you dare think about trying to leave before I get you fixed up either." Raeri wasn't about to go running through the hold, hunting down her patient. |
