Volf laid back in the bed after Lilly left the room, the words that she had said to him was something that made him think about how he was acting and speaking to his brother and Dreama. They were looking out for him, and had his best intrest in mind. He sighed and closed his eyes thinking about everything that Dreama and Trooper had done for him, and how he was behaving towards them. He had gotten out of bed twice when Dreama had told him he needed rest, and then thrown a lamp with his bad arm causing it to be hurt more. Volf was upset at himself, but he knew better than to leave the bed again because that would cause Dreama to be upset with him even more than she was right then.
Dreama was in the kitchen with Trooper when Lilly walked into the kitchen. Trooper was sitting at the table holding an ice pack to his eye, and Dreama was sitting across from him with her head in her hands upset and fustrated. Lilly walked over to Dreama and gently touched her shoulder. "His shoulder was alright just some seeping is all, though later he might need some pain medications." Dreama nodded her head and sighed softly. "I just don't know what to do about him refusing help. Though I know he's trying to protect us, but he should have someone there to watch his back."
Trooper nodded his head and set the ice pack down. "Dreama right now he's fustrated and upset at himself for putting you in the line of danger." Dreama sighed and closed her eyes as she but her head on her arms. "It wasn't his fault that we were in danger it was those vampires who tricked him and then tricked us." Trooper nodded, " I know Dreama, but he sees it as a failure and then upsetting you twice really messed with him as well. You know he can't stand to upset you and having you angry at him, he's right now probably trying to think of a way to make it up to you and also to come in here without getting into trouble for being out of bed."
Dreama looked up at Trooper and nodded. "You are right, it's just he needs to stop being so hard headed and set in his ways." Trooper smiled and looked at her, he reached over and patted her hand, "You should just give him some time to stew and think about what he has done and what is going on. Then when you go to check on him, he will be in the right frame of mind to talk about having me go with him when he is able to go out and hunt again." Dreama looked at Trooper like that was a pretty good idea, "I think you are right about that plan Trooper."
Trooper smiled and nodded his head. "You know that I am the one with brains." Lilly smacked Trooper on the back of his head. "You need to learn to be modest Trooper before you get your ass handed to you." Dreama smiled softly, and then looked down the hall to her bedroom, she was worried about Volf and what he was feeling. Lilly sat down beside Dreama, "He will call for you when he needs the pain meds Dreama,let Volf stew about what he did and said." Dreama sighed softly and nodded her head. "I know it's just he really will wait until the pain is too much for him before he asks for anything. He wouldn't have let me give him those pain meds if he wasn't in so much pain in the first place. I am just worried about him laying there in pain, I know how to read him and how much he's feeling the pain."
Trooper nodded his head and looked at Dreama's lost look in her face and saw his fiance holding her hand and rubbing her back. Trooper stood up and walked out of the kitchen down the hall to Dreama and Volf's room to go talk some sense into his older brother.
Volf looked up seeing Trooper enter the bedroom and he turned his head disappointed it wasn't Dreama coming to talk to him. He wanted no craved her touch even with her super angery with him. Trooper sighed and sat down on the chair in the room and looked at his brother. "I know Lilly chewed you out, but I wanted to talk to you about some of this that is going on. Within the year you have been home you had to have surgery for broken ribs and then the most recent injuries you aquired. What we want to do is to make sure you have someone with you to watch your back and you do the same for them. Dreama, Lilly and I talked about it, and I am the best for this job because we trust eachother."
Volf sighed softly and looked at his brother. "I know you guys mean well, but I don't know what I would do if you were hurt as well Trooper. Dreama and Lilly rely on both of us, and if both of us were to be hurt or killed where would that leave them. " Trooper nodded his head and watched his brother. "Though if there is both of us there, we are both more likely to come home in one piece. This is something that we have not thought lightly of, your injuries are severe Volf, you really should not be even home, you should be in the hospital right now. You are lucky that Dreama was there or else I would have sent you to the hospital."
Volf nodded his head and sighed softly. " You are right Trooper, I guess we can work together once I am able to get up out of this bed." Trooper laughed softly, "It's more like when Dreama says you can train again." Volf smiles softly and nods his head, "You are right there Trooper, can you please get Dreama. I need to tell Dreama I am sorry, plus I need something for this shoulder it's killing me." Trooper nodded his head, "Alright big brother."
Volf nodded his head, "Thank you Trooper, and sorry about that eye I shouldn't have thrown that lamp at you. I know that I upset Dreama even more with doing that, she never has been so upset that she let someone else treat my injury." Trooper smiled, "Yeah she was upset, but I think she's more upset about not being in here with you, but she wants you to think about what we are proposing and make you realise that you need help out there." Volf sighed softly and reaches up holding his bad shoulder with a wince. "Yeah you are right with that I know how she is probably pacing, andI am sure that she is a few minutes away from using all the flour in the apartment to bake and reduce her stress."
Trooper nodded and stood up. "I will go get her in here for you to talk to her about what we talked about, and then you can beg for forgiveness." Volf nodded his head, "Begging for forgiveness is something that she has never made me do, but I will if I have to for her to forgive me. I have made an ass of myself." Trooper nodded "That you have big brother." Trooper left the room to go find Dreama and tell her that Volf was ready to talk and that he needed some pain reliever.
Dreama looked up at Trooper seeing him walk out of her and Volf's room, he had a smile on his face. "Well I talked some sense into that thick skull of his, and he wants to talk to you Dreama and ask for you to forgive him. He also did say his shoulder was hurting pretty badly so if you could take some pain medication for him that would be good as well." Dreama smiled and hugged Trooper, "Thank you for talking some sense into him Trooper, and I will go take care of him."
Dreama went to the treatment room to go get some pain medications for Volf before going into hers and his room. When she walked into the room Volf looked up with hope and pain in his eyes. Dreama's heart broke seeing the pain in his eyes and she knew it wasn't just physical pain, but emotional as well. "Trooper told me you wanted to talk to me, and needed some pain medications." She walks over to the bed and sits beside him on the bed. Volf nodded his head, "Yeah I wanted to talk to you and tell you I am sorry for my behavior and words it was uncalled for and unnessary."
Dreama looked to him and nodded her head. She gave him the pain medications knowing that he was in more pain than what he was actually saying. "Volf, if you are going to be acting like this when we suggest something, we might as well just plan out your funeral. We are thinking on how to help you stay alive and live with us until we are all old and gray." He nods and watching her knowing that she was saying was true.
"Alright Dreama I will work with Trooper and I told him I would work with him as well, and I won't move without your permission and help." Dreama sighed and sat beside him on the bed, "Volf I am sorry to get after you so much, but we are trying to protect you. Just as we know you are trying to protect us as well."
