Blood and Steel

Part 17 "Animal"

Vorgen: "Tsk...Grrrhhh... FUCK!!"
Sitting on a chair, I hissed at the pain that I'm experiencing from cleaning my wounds. The feeling of alcohol touching my open wounds felt like I was making the wounds worse rather than treating it.

A stab wound on the shoulder, a big slash wound on the back. Another new badge of honor...They just keep on increasing.

Lorderius: "You need help in there?
Said Lorderius, outside the tent.

Vorgen: " No, it's..... Alright..."

Lorderius: "Okay then. Just call me if you need anything"

Putting away the bloody rag i had used from cleaning my wounds, i then stood up.

Vorgen: "Where's the mirror..?"

Searching through my drawer i finally found it. Lifting the mirror to my face, i found myself staring at my own reflection.

A man with a face fully covered with gray bandages, only leaving a gap for the eyes.

Vorgen: "They weren't wrong when they i said i looked like a bandit..."

Black circles under my eyes still hadn't dissappeared...... Same as ever.

Vorgen: "It' has gotten real dirty now... " I muttered.

I reached for the back of my head and tried loosening the bandages. They came off easily and slowly i started to feel it again..... The feeling of air touching my bare face.

Reaching for my face i then rubbed them thoroughly. Feeling the long,
beard that i now have. My once short hair had also became longer and messier. It's time to shave.

Grabbing the mirror again and with a scissor this time, i started cutting my hair and beard. Trimming and shortening it until it turned back to my usual messy short hair and beard i usually have.

Vorgen: "Hmmm.... That's better.."

Staring at the mirror i then winked at myself. I totally regretted doing that because it suddenly active my gag reflex.

Vorgen: "Yuck....What the fuck am i doing..."

After being disgusted by myself ,i then started wrapping bandages on my face with a new one while not also forgetting to apply one too, on my Wounds.

Exiting the tent after donning my armor with my helmet in hand, The first thing i see is Lorderius. Sitting on chair while chewing on a piece of bread.

Vorgen: "Oi....."

Lorderius: "Oh finished already?New bandages huh?"
He said as he noticed the new clean bandages on my face.

Vorgen: "Yup"

Lorderius: "And you treated your wounds by yourself? Why didn't you just visit the doctor anyway? You do know that We got a doctor here, right?"

Vorgen: "Uuuh......."

Flashback

Vorgen: "I'm hurt doc"

Doctor: "Where are you hurt?"

Vorgen: "My leg"

Doctor: "Okay... Lets see..."

Vorgen: "The other leg"

Doctor: "Ah my apologies"

Vorgen: "I mean My other leg... If you know what i mean..."

Doctor: "............"

Vorgen: "Hehehe...."

Doctor: "Get out....."
