Death and Rebirth: Roleplay with TheNovaSwag #2

Chapter 30

M:   Askad chuckled, "Those two remind me of my littlest brother and I, he was just as adorable as Wales was."

Not wanting to spend more time procrastinating, he gave Uskaine's legs one more look to make sure he didn't miss anything, then checked that he was comfortable and had enough water and pillows before leaving for the infirmary.

 "I feel so helpless for Uskaine," he said to Celtica, "You know how horses basically can't survive without their legs, his have been broken for nearly a month and the doctors say he will likely not walk again. All I can do for him is make sure he is as comfortable as possible but I can't shake the feeling that he could die if his legs don't heal, he is one of only five Eternals left on this godforsaken planet, and they are all under this roof, not to mention he is my mate, I couldn't live with myself if I lost him too, but I just don't know what I can do."

N:   Celtica paused for a bit as she took the information in before answering, "In all honesty, I don't know if I have the advice since I am not like you and don't know the position you are as an Eternal, but what I can tell you is to not to worry too much," she turned to face Askad, "it may sound counter-intuitive but it's true."

She watched where they were going and continued, "We can only hope that your mate doesn't die because of his legs, but if it is the case you need to cherish every moment with him." The Celt sighed as she went down memory lane, "When my husband was dying, I worried constantly for him to the point where my only thought of him was him dying, but that meant I didn't use our limited time together to do the things we love and enjoy each other's company, and I regret to this day that I didn't do so."

She wiped a tear that began to form, and weakly smiled, "But that was a long time ago, and here I am still, poking fun at the English almost every day."

M:   Askad nodded, it wasn't the answer he hoped for but it was one he appreciated.

The two finally arrived at the infirmary, but what was waiting for them Askad didn't expect. One of the Eternals was awake, he looked very confused and fearful of the doctors that were trying to help him.

"Neflen," Askad exclaimed, he slithered over to his friend's bed and smiled, "you're awake, oh thank the gods."

"Askad," Neflen said questioningly, "w-what's going on, where are we, what happened?"

"It's a long story, I'll explain later," Askad smiled, "how are you doing, does anything hurt."

"A little, I've got quite the headache and my throat is really sore," he said, rubbing the bandages around his neck, "seriously though, what is going on, this doesn't look anything like the settlement, where are we?"

N:   "You're in the British compound," Celtica answered, walking up to his bed, "you were found along with the rest of your friends and you were brought here to be treated to." She turned to the doctor and asked about the state Neflen's in.

"We were able to treat most of his surface wounds," the doctor answered, "however, the moment he woke up, we were having trouble helping him."

"I see," the Celt hummed, and she faced the Eternal, "I promise you that these humans are only here to help you and not to harm, and these doctors swore to not harm anyone as part of their training, so you are in safe hands."

M:   Neflen looked at Celtica like she was out of her mind, but before he could comment on it Askad reassured him, "She's right, these humans are nothing like the ones we have encountered before, we've been under their care for a little over a week and they have done no harm. I promise they won't hurt us."
