To be cared for

[15:46] Fenes says, "No."
[15:46] His redhaired guildmate would find there were some cuts across his arms and torso, relatively superficial given Revan's knowledge of how his brother fought, minimizing the damage from him blade.

However, there would be a hole the size of a hand over his stomach, his shirt and bandages would be absent in that area as a purple burn would be seen over the teen's abdominal section.

Unless touched or purposely awakened, Revan would remain asleep, his face occasionally distorting, looking almost fearful at times.
(Revan Task)
--------------------------------------------------------------------------------

[15:46] Fingar says, "Oh fuck."
[15:47] Fingar says, "Uhh..."
[15:50] Fenes says, "Give him this when he wakes up."
[15:50] Fenes says, "I'm taking a walk."
[15:52] Fingar takes notice of the new cuts on the martial artist that weren't life threatening but is then surprised by the presence of a large distinguishingable purple burn. After brief observation of the phenomena taking place he is creeped out and worried to the point of deciding to immediately wake him up.

"Revan?"

He would gently clap him on the cheek.

"Revan wake up!"

Realizing that this is no time for being gentle he tosses a slap at his face for good measure.
(Fingar)
--------------------------------------------------------------------------------

[15:55] Lilith walks over to Revans bedside with a worried expression
(Lilith Allison)
--------------------------------------------------------------------------------

[15:58] The first gentle slap would seem to cause him to slowly stir, his eyes twitching. "..Mmmh?" The second, harder, smack would kick in his fighting instincts, once it collides with his face, Fingar would see a bandaged hand reach out with lightning speed, grabbing his wrist with enough force to almost break it.

Those piercing golden eyes would glare at his guildmate, not recognizing him until all of the pain would snap him out of his dreamy state. He would collapse back onto the bed, his hand resting on his burned mid section.

".. I'm.. Sorry.. Fingar.." He would say between pained breaths as his eyes would shift to see a worried Lilith behind him. He could hardly move his body, agonizing pain he felt all over as his mana had been stolen from him. Shamefully he would stare up at the ceiling.

".. What.. Happened..?"
(Revan Task)
--------------------------------------------------------------------------------

[15:59] Fingar says, "I have no idea. Ten seconds in and you're just gone..."
[15:59] Revan Task asks, ".. That... Was it..?"
[16:00] Revan Task says, "... I thought.. It would've been.. Closer.. "
[16:00] Fingar says, "I got something i'd like to ask you to do."
[16:01] Revan Task says, ".. I won't.. be able to do much.. Like this.."
[16:01] Revan Task says, "But.. I can atleast.. listen.. "
[16:01] Lilith Allison says, "Just listen..."
[16:01] Fingar would reach out for the Lax Essence he was given by Fenes earlier.

"Don't be stubborn."

He would then offer the small container to Revan.
(Fingar)
--------------------------------------------------------------------------------

[16:05] He wasn't sure what he would be asked, but his eyes would drift to the vial in his hands. His pride would tell him not to accept it, this pain was his punishment for being weak. However, being bed ridden did not sit well with him either, his resolve to train and grow stronger burning within him.

Reluctantly, he would try to prop himself on his elbows to receive the vial, but he couldn't even manage that much. Collapsing to the bed with a grunt, he would grind on his teeth.

This is humiliating.

Was he going to have to say it? It'd almost rather choke on his tongue.. But.. He was amongst his favorite people, his guild mates. "I'm.. Going to need.. Help.."
(Revan Task)
--------------------------------------------------------------------------------

[16:07] Lilith Allison whispers something.
[16:07] Fingar says, "Oh, sure Lilith."
[16:07] Fingar says, "I am .. not much of a doctor, I am sorry Revan."
[16:12] As Lilith would see the gaping hole on his abdomen and his reluctance to rest and recover, she would ask Fingar to move in order for her to get closer. She kneels by the bedside, tears forming in her eyes, and grabs Revan's hand and squeezes it.

"W-What do you need help with... Just please rest for now."

Her voice would quiver, and her heart would sink.

"It's okay to show weakness... It's okay to lose... Please, please just stay on the bed and rest"

Her head would lie on the bed, she didn't want people to see her crying, and she didn't want people to hear her crying. She just wanted Revan to rest and recover.
(Lilith Allison)
--------------------------------------------------------------------------------

[16:13] Fenes came back into the guild hall after taking a walk, sitting on the stairs.
(Fenes)
--------------------------------------------------------------------------------

[16:19] He would feel the delicate hand squeeze his own, he wouldn't have to look to know who it was. His head rolling to look at her, he would see her glossy blues as tears began to well up. It would feel as if someone was gripping his heart at the sight.

"Lilly.. Please don't cry.. I can't stand it when you do.."

He would whisper, finding it easier to speak fuller sentences in the hushed tone. "I'm sorry.. I remembered what you said.. Choosing how I react.. But I was already in mid stride.. I couldn't.. Let him not.. Pay for his transgressions.. What he said.. About Fenes.."

His own voice would grow shaky as he admitted his fault in escalating the situation. He would grip her hand tighter, though it was still frail compared to his usual strength.

"I.. Need help.. Drinking that.. Essence.." He would say what he meant. ".. And.. I'll.. Stay right here.."
(Revan Task)
--------------------------------------------------------------------------------

[16:22] Fingar says, "Shit..."
[16:22] Fingar says, "I never seen Revan that bashed up before."
[16:24] Fenes says, "..."
[16:24] Fenes 's claw started digging in to the hilt of her sword again. Scratching.
(Fenes)
--------------------------------------------------------------------------------

[16:29] Lilith listens carefully to Revan's words, happy to hear that he won't force himself to get up and continue hurting himself. She would squeeze his hands once more before taking a lax essence from her pack.

She would then tilt Revan's head back, letting him open his mouth before slowly pouring the essence in, cautious about him choking and ready to stop at a moments notice.

As tears stream down her face, should would stay silent, trying to smile and show hope to Revan. Trying to be positive when surrounded by negatives.

"You'll be fine... I know you'll be fine..."
(Lilith Allison)
--------------------------------------------------------------------------------

[16:33] Fingar observing as Lilith takes care of Revan would look to the side for a moment.

"Revan... why did your brother sell the essence of his very own self for power?"

It was quite unsettling to him him that somebody could be capable of accepting immense power in exchange for the his sanity.

"Is that what you meant earlier when you said that you and your brothers strive to make his father proud... but at what cost?"
(Fingar)
--------------------------------------------------------------------------------

[16:34] Fenes was wondering if she would need to start to smoke or drink for a stres reliever...
(Fenes)
--------------------------------------------------------------------------------

[16:36] Fingar says, "See... this is what I meant by being helpless at times."
[16:36] Fingar says, "And by using violence over words."
[16:36] Fingar says, "But to sell oneself for power is .. an unspeakable act"
[16:48] Lilith would lift and tilt his head back, mirroring when he had done the same for her when they had narrowly escaped the Demon in Theria's mines.

He would gulp down the elixir, letting it take it's effect as the pain would slowly subside, never completely fading, but dulling.

"mmm.. I will live.. And grow from this."

It was his only consolation prize, every loss and every injury was an opportunity to learn. He finally begun to understand the struggles of his brother, the dark whispers that tormented him.

He would look to Fingar, nodding. ".. Yes.." The guild had finally met one of his brothers, seeing a possibility of how Revan could have turned out, why he was so intense at times. ".. Our Father.. Wanted us to be strong.. He made us compete.. Fight for his attention.. His praise.. He taught us.. The only path to enlightenment.. Was to throw our Spirit and Body into.. Mortal struggles.." He would go on to explain. All they saw were his bandages, some seeing the scars beneath them, but now they had met one of the reasons for them.
(Revan Task)
--------------------------------------------------------------------------------

[16:59] After letting Revan drink the lax essence, Lilith would then listen to Revan and his explanation. The reason why the brothers compete, the reason for his strive to perfection. She's already heard all of it before, and she knows fully well why.

Staying silent, she examines Revan's scars. Knowing that each scar was from a fight, knowing that each scar is from a loss, and knowing that each scar is a reminder for his failures, made her eyes soft. It's times like this she wishes she could heal someone, times like this where she wishes she had magic that could comfort someone, times like this where she wishes she wasn't born with an affinity for poison.

She looks at Revan, her eyes still filled with tears and smiles. Because in this situation, it's the only thing she knows how to do.

"I-I'm sorry I can't heal all your wounds... And I'm sorry I smile so much but... smiling is all I know how to do in these situations..."
(Lilith Allison)
--------------------------------------------------------------------------------

[16:59] Fingar says, "LIlith..."
[17:00] Fingar says, "He needs help, not hope to overcome injuries mentally."
[17:01] Fenes lowers her ears, she wasn't watching, but she was listening. she kept a frowno nher face, before closing her eyes, and hugging her legs, resting her chin on one of her knees.
(Fenes)
--------------------------------------------------------------------------------

[17:06] He would shake his head, hearing Lilith say how much she wishes she could help him, offer him some relief in this situation.

".. I wouldn't accept it.. I.. It would be too easy.. I wouldn't learn anything.. It would.. Just lead me to throwing myself in worse.. And worse situations.." He would say like he didn't already do that. ".. There would be no consequence for my actions.."

It may have sounded arrogant, or foolish for him to deny such a treatment, but it was something he believed avidly. Reaching, she would grab her hand with his, bringing to rest on his chest.

"Besides.. Your smile.. Is the only treatment I need.." He would say as the corner of his lips curled into a small one, to return hers.
(Revan Task)
--------------------------------------------------------------------------------

[17:07] Fenes says, "...Hmnh...."
[17:09] Fenes says, "...Let us help you REvan. In the future. Please."
[17:09] Fenes 's voice came from right outside the medical ward. yep, she was still sitting there on the stairs.
(Fenes)
--------------------------------------------------------------------------------

[17:11] Fingar being unable to help any way would sit down in front of the piano but refuse to play on it for now.
(Fingar)
--------------------------------------------------------------------------------

[17:16] As Lilith listens to Revan, she would shake her head softly. She still wanted some way to help Revan, some way to heal the physical injuries instead of the mental ones. She knew that not all problems and pains can be fixed with a smile.

"You'll need more than a smile if you're gonna stand up again... I just wish I could help you more"

Looking over at Fenes, Fingar, and Hans she would look make eye contact with Revan. She took out her Dragon Tooth necklace and showed it to Revan.

"Fenes is right, you aren't alone in this anymore... You have a guild to back you up. A guild that would gladly fight for you. So... Stop doing things by yourself from now on"
(Lilith Allison)
--------------------------------------------------------------------------------

[17:17] Fenes hid her face a bit in her knees while listening.
(Fenes)
--------------------------------------------------------------------------------

[17:23] There would be a huff of air, his pride already starting to show as they insist on helping more- or as he saw it, intervening. Closing his eyes, it would appear as if he would ignore their request, choosing to get some sleep.

But instead he would be mulling it over. ".. You can't help me.. Not with.. My family.. If I wish to.. Be the head of our house.. I will need to learn how to handle my brothers myself." He would say with finality in his tone, holding firm to it.

"If you wish to help me.. Help me grow stronger. That's why I joined this guild afterall." He would say, putting up that same tough façade he wanted to be known for, but the truth was.. That was only half of the reason he was here. He enjoyed each of them, he actually began to think of them more as.. Family, than friends. However, he didn't want to involve them with his real family. He knew it would only lead to more hurt and heartache if they did, in his mind, this was his way of sparing them.

He would take any abuse, breaking every bone in his body if that's what it called for. So long as it didn't kill him, he would find a way to come back even stronger.
(Revan Task)
--------------------------------------------------------------------------------

[17:26] Banri Chuuni exclaims, "Yohello!"
[17:26] Fingar merely looks at Banri before returning to staring at the table.
(Fingar)
--------------------------------------------------------------------------------

[17:26] Fenes was hugging her legs, sitting on the stairs. seemingly lsitening to something. Face hidden in her legs. a muffled voice rising up.
(Fenes)
--------------------------------------------------------------------------------

[17:26] Fenes says, "...Hey Ban."
[17:28] Lilith just couldn't understand Revan's thinking. It was so alien to her. Why not just make your own path instead of following in someone's footsteps, why create new experiences through your own choices instead of forcing yourself to do things that only hurt you.

"I don't understand Revan, why do you have to be the head of the house? Why are you so obsessed with what others think about you and your reputation when you've got people who care about you right here?"

She would then find herself shaking her head, trying to understand why it was so important to him.
(Lilith Allison)
--------------------------------------------------------------------------------

[17:30] Banri entered the room rather enthusiatically only to be greeted by what looked to be a despairing crowd.. Oh no, something happened again didn't it?

The teen silently looked around the room as if searching for the answer without awkwardly asking 'what happened?' That's when the boy would notice Lily standing at a bed side.

Then he heard her. The Allison telling Revan off of all people. That was honestly kind of surprising for the Chuuni to hear. The Task was usually a sort of voice of reason. At least in his eyes after seeing the wrapped boy stand between himself in Fenes when he was blinded by rage. Still, I guess he's human like everyone else, and those flaws seemed to fit the personality he portrated too.

Instead of saying anything further though, the Mage would move to sit next to the Ookami on the stairs.
(Banri Chuuni)
[17:40] Fene's face finally rose up from her knees, there were some tears in her eyes. She suddenly shoot up, walking into the medical ward and looking straight at Revan, past Lilith.

"You're an idiot.", her voice was shaking slightly, she was staring the bandaged man down for a few seconds before continuing.
"You made me watch. Watch him just beat you up. You really think I want that? to just sit to the side while you handle your family problems?
We're also family, Revan.. Let us help..."

She relaxed her posture, head tilting back down and ears flattening atop her head.

"We care about you, Revan. We want to help you. Don't.. focus on that position on the family too much."

She then frowned- remembering how stubborn he could be. her fists clenched. She talked out of emotion- of fear.
"..If the only help you'll allow us to give you is to make you stronger, then fine. But.."

She was shaking a bit, remembering how serious of a battle it was back there.
"...Don't expect me to not do anything.. when you're in danger right in front of me. I was scared, Revan, I was scared for you. For my guildmate for my.. family. I thought I was about to lose someone close to me, and I didn't want to let that happen."

She gave a nod "...luckily that didn't happen. And I told Valero to never come back.. There's a ban on him. If you want to talk with him still... figure something out yourself."

Her head lowered once again, before she turned away.
"We help each other. We grow stronger.. We get on quests, adventures, treasure hunts, beast hunts, whatever else- or we're going to... We will always look out for each other.. This whole situation made me think you'll never accept help from us. So please. let us help you in the future, Rev."


(Fenes)
--------------------------------------------------------------------------------

[17:58] It was almost comical, the way history repeated itself, though places had swapped. Where Revan was taking care of Lilith, saying he didn't understand her conditional kindness, she would be the one giving him the lax essence unable to understand why he was so hard on himself, the goals he was set on.

He would open his mouth to respond, but Fenes would barge in, interrupting him to express her thoughts.

..Maybe I am an idiot.

He would think, help was not a luxury he had growing up. He had no one to depend on but himself, the same responsibilities fell onto his brothers, and where they fell short, he would push himself harder to help them. Why did he do it?

Because you're a Task, son, you are destined for greatness.

As hard as his Father had been on them, it was all for the reason to make them legendary magi, just like himself. Life was full of pain and suffering, it was not something Revan was unfamiliar with.

What he didn't understand was the unconditional love they kept showing him, the desire to mettle in his personal affairs, how they would hurt for him everytime he was injured.

"... I can't stop you." He would say simply in response to Fenes, it was the best he could offer her. His eyes returning to Lilith. ".. It is.. Hard to change.. When all you've known is the path before you.. When all you dreamed of.. Is reaching the summit.. When you.. Expected to travel alone.. Never knowing what it was like to.. Have a friend.."
(Revan Task)
--------------------------------------------------------------------------------

[17:58] * You have been awarded 2 Roleplay Points! *
[18:03] Fingar says, "I will go and check situation in starfall."
[18:12] After his return Fingar would deposit small amount of things he found before calmly sitting down in front of the table keeping his face straight once again staring at the wall. While others could think he was potentially daydreaming, deep inside he was in conflict.
(Fingar)
--------------------------------------------------------------------------------

[18:13] As Hans approaches Fingar he might notice something odd, his breathing pattern is rather erratic and he's slightly shaky.
(Fingar)
--------------------------------------------------------------------------------

[18:15] Hans Hohenstein asks, "Something wrong, Fingar?"
[18:17] After quite a delay Fingar eyes Hans scrutinizing his appearance. He would only blink before looking back at the wall behind the four sofas.
(Fingar)
--------------------------------------------------------------------------------

[18:26] Listening carefully to the situation at hand, Banri couldn't help but feel somewhat responsible for the whole thing.. He was the one that suggested Valero visit Revan since they were brothers and all.. Given how upset he seemed to be about him losing an eye he figured they were on good terms. -That didn't really seem to be the case oddly enough.

"Sorry Revan.", the Chuuni apologized getting back up to his feet, "I'm the one that suggested he'd say 'hi' to you. I didn't expect things to get violent between you guys.."
(Banri Chuuni)
--------------------------------------------------------------------------------

[18:26] Fenes says, "...He's not allowed back in here or anywhere anyway anymore."
[18:27] Banri Chuuni says, "Mhm.."
[18:31] After listening to Banri's apology, she turns back to Revan looking at him. It pains her to think that there are people out there who don't know what it's like to do something together, to trust in other people...

She rubs the tears away from her eyes and calms herself down. Slowing her breathing and thinking clear, she makes eye contact with Revan.

"Well... Now you do have friends... And you're not alone anymore"
(Lilith Allison)
--------------------------------------------------------------------------------

[18:33] Fenes as well would rub her tears away, shaking her head at Revan's lack of words for what she had told him so... abruptly. She looked down, before simply walking out of the Medical ward, catching a glance towards him.
"Rest well, Rev, okay? Remember your friends."

With those words she passed in front of Banri, simply giving him a sad smile, before walking over to one of the comfy chairs set to the side.
(Fenes)
