Ren didn't know how they were able to fall asleep either, after all that. The alcohol probably helped. They woke themselves up when they tried to roll over and yelped themselves awake from the pain. They were finally able to take a closer and more objective look at the injury. It looked like....they'd dislocated their shoulder. They sat up slowly and left the room, trying not to touch Zane. For several minutes, they wandered back and forth in the empty halls containing the other bedrooms, figuring it wouldn't be much different from what might possibly be the rest of their life. They snuck past Ivory to the kitchen to get Tylenol for their shoulder and the headache it had been drowning out, then stood in the doorway, watching Ivory from behind.

Ivory turned her head. Of course she could sense them. "Your shoulder's hurt..." She stood up and walked over to them.

"Ah-" They took a step back nervously, not sure what she'd do, and winced at the sudden movement. "...y-yeah....I jumped th'fence and...fell."

●

She looked at it. "It's dislocated." She held their shoulder. "Hold still, and you might want to bite a towel or something."

2016-06-24 01:19:05

🌀

"...I know...wait....are you gonna--" They jerked back, away from her grip. "C-can I get a towel /first/, you didn't let me--"

●

She grabbed a clean dish towel from the drawer and handed it to them, then grabbed their shoulder again. "Putting it off isn't going to help you."

🌀

"...I know, I know, I know, it's just.....gonna hurt......" They tried biting the towel but their fangs went all the way through and almost into their lip, so they took it out and folded it a few times before they tried it again, completely tense and waiting for the inevitable agony.

●

She leaned them against the table and with a loud crack, popped it back into place.

2016-06-24 01:23:25

🌀

They screamed through the fabric, and the second they could move their left arm without pain they clutched at their face, shaking.

2016-06-24 01:24:03

●

She turned moved them over to face her. "There." She took the rag out of their mouth.

2016-06-24 01:24:57

🌀

They were breathing quickly and shallowly, squeaking a little. Their fangs dug into their bottom lip now, sending a bit of blood down their chin.

2016-06-24 01:26:05

●

She used the rag to dab the blood away.

2016-06-24 01:26:36

They mumbled "Thank you" and lowered their hands a little. They didn't know what to do now.

2016-06-24 01:28:22

●

"You're welcome."

2016-06-24 01:30:05

🌀

".....I'm sorry.....I'm sorry for....."

2016-06-24 01:31:17

●

"It's okay....Are you okay?"

2016-06-24 01:33:32

🌀

".......no......I think Lance killed her, though......."

2016-06-24 01:33:59

●

"Yeah...he does that. Did she hurt you? Physically, I mean?"

2016-06-24 01:34:56

🌀

"....I don't think so......I didn't...notice.....she got my b-boxers off, but...."

2016-06-24 01:35:57

●

"But nothing else? She didn't actually do anything?"

2016-06-24 01:36:54

🌀

".......no.....but it was scary.....and she almost...."

2016-06-24 01:38:27

●

"She almost....?"

2016-06-24 01:41:10

🌀

".......she had mine off.....she was going to get hers next.....I just barely...."

2016-06-24 01:41:41

●

She placed her hand on their cheek. "Well it's not going to happen again."

2016-06-24 01:48:06

🌀

She touched them. They immediately reached out and hugged her tightly, burying their face in her shoulder.
