12/2 Ice 2: Temperature Control: Medic or Mage?

[07:38] Rafa walks on up with his morning tea, and takes a seat at the first table he could see, a few people were already there but he was just try'na sit down and enjoy his tea.

"Mornin'." He'd greet quietly, pulling out a vial of sugar and mixing it into his drink, giving it a couple gentle shakes and then taking a sip.
(Rafa)
[07:40] Kuma takes a step back in surprise at the last few words that Discourse had given. "Oh right..." He'd mutter as he tried his best to calmly center himself and look as natural as possible. "Like in the new story in the paper?" He'd ask while one hand scratched his chin in a very exaggerated manner.

Lowering his voice once more as if he was dealing with something secret, the boy continued on. "By the way... Seems old man Rod tried to rally up Sudbury and give them direction as a leader like figure or something... Cause the people there to beat him up... Cameo was one and that's how he got the Town Watch's attention..."
(Paca Kuma)
[07:41] She had lack of rest; fatigued to say the least in how the Kitsune wanders within the city limits from Sudbury. Pained and red-faced, lacking her usual energy, yet the way Astrid wanders is free-flowing and smooth regardless with an air graced of a subtle chill.

Although, silver eyes do scan the immediate area, finding one she'd known of who'd been a medic, or at least with his own abilities. And so, Astrid approaches Rafa with her covered right hand in black cloth, approaching him slowly with scrutiny over his form.

"Rafa," she calls out. "Would you mind putting use your medical expertise and helping me for a minute?" The girl gestures forth that covered appendage, wincing as it moves. From the visibility of her arm, a layer of frost could be seen dressing over like verglas, painting the skin a pale blue compared to the rest of her skin.

Slowly, however, it's undressed to show that hand frozen solid, or at least enough that no feelings could be sensed within it presently. Cracks along the surface of it could be viewed, though no blood spilled. Something at least minor that isn't permanent.

"It's frozen, and I can't feel it.."
(Astrid)
[07:43] "You would be surprised the kind of information that passes my ear, my dear boy. Pretty much everything going on in this city has been regaled to me at one point or another. In some form or fashion, at least."

The rocking of his heels stops, and instead, his feet plant firmly into the dirt and grass below him. His eyes narrow ever so slightly, a coy grin forming upon his lips as Paca speaks of the rallying happening in Sudbury. He hesitates, for a moment, inhaling rather sharply, causing his staff to emit a loud noise of electrical feedback, akin to a microphone howling for a moment.

"But that, is rather interesting. What did he say to make them so irate, I do wonder?"
(Discourse)
[07:43] Zachary tyr Drake whispers something.
[07:44] Claude vey Pelleaux whispers something.
[07:44] Claude vey Pelleaux whispers something.
[07:48] Kuma started to pull an extremely over-exaggerated fake yawn. The loudness of it seemed to draw more attention than it would have if he just did nothing at all. With a soft voice, he muttered off towards the lake "Well. First kid seemed to beat him up cause he talked about leader stuff. Then Cameo beat him up for ignoring him. Seems the Town Watch viewed it as a Syndicate event so they looked highly towards Cameo's actions... But you didn't hear it from me..."

Once done talking, the boy did one more fake yawn. Straight after, he would loudly proclaim. "What. A. Lovely. Day... Nothing. Like. Doing. Nothing. Except. Watching. Stars... Guess. I. Will. Go. To. The. Lake. And. Relax..." The boys speech and mannerism clearly showed he was one of the worst actors there could ever be.
(Paca Kuma)
[07:48] Paca Kuma asks, "What a lovely night... Good lake am I right?"
[07:50] Rafa peered over to Astrid and watched as she made her way near. The bandage he'd notice covering her hand, was shining. . . Which was peculiar.

"Sure, what's going on. .?" He'd ask, setting his glass of tea down, standing up, and walking up to the girl. As she undressed her hand, the boy quickly noticed it was completely frozen. And with her proclamation that she couldn't feel anything, his mouth would open slightly in shock.

"Hnng! How long has it been?!" He'd ask in a hurry, his hands beginning to twist and contort into complex motions before he threw them forward, near the area beside Astrid.

"I don't know how much this'll do, but. . ."

And then a large blue tree, with glowing energy orbiting around would sprout quickly from the ground where he had been pointing too. The tree would carry intense healing properties, but this would only do so much.

"Hey! Guy with the blue medicine symbol, come take a look at this please!" He'd ask, his mind rolling, if he wasn't able to do anything, he had to think of a backup plan immediately. He knew from being poor that if she acquired too bad of frostbyte, she could permanently lose appendages or the entire hand if it goes on too long.
(Rafa)
[07:55] Rafa called out to one of the white-cloaked people across the pond, "Hey! If either of ya'll are healers can you come check this out!" He'd ask, hoping one of them were. If not, he'd have to resort to plan b.
(Rafa)
[08:02] Those hands scramble, as she spectates briefly, eyeing where they cast the benevolent prowess Rafa utilizes in order to sustain what damage he potentially could within the girl's appendage. Although it was truly frostbitten, albeit something still minor kindred to Zus' arm.

The one he'd called for previously had disappeared within a moment's notice, as unfortunate as that may have been. The girl paid no mind to whom it was, nor their attires, and so when that blooming mimicry of Yggdrasil appears, Astrid could feel the faintest bit of its healing capabilities within that appendage, slowly alleviating her arm from the binds of frost.

Some seem to be overwhelmed with those pleasantries, and from where Rafa stands some of that verglas layer either melts away or breaks free, falling to the ground and dissolving in the grass.

But still, it wasn't enough to free her encased, frosted hand- below freezing point, in order to heal it. The stillness wasn't something that would potentially heal over time, although integrating her circuits with such a prowess would take time.. just so she could manipulate it herself.

Then again, she'd been drained, and far too pained to manage right now! "Is there anyone else would you know that could fix this? Nerim? Or Khaine if either are around?" Her speech is weak, cracking here and there as it shows the tiredness of her disposition.

"For healing, or Khaine to try and help me.. control this if possible." Regardless, a last comment;

"And, thank you for helping with how you can, Rafa."
(Astrid)
[08:04] Rafa says, "I do not unfortunately. . "
[08:05] Rafa says, "Though I will suggest getting a campfire, or fireplace perhaps, and melting the ice first. Once the ice is melted, do not keep warming your hands with the fire."
[08:05] Rafa says, "Take your hands to a bowl of lukewarm water, and place them in there."
[08:05] Rafa says, "If you heat up your hands too fast, it could put you into aniphalectic shock."
[08:06] Astrid says, "I've tried the fire. It's like... permafrost. This was done by another mage."
[08:06] Rafa says, "Ah. . ."
[08:07] Rafa asks, ". . . I honestly have no idea, and I take it the person who did this, will not undo it?"
[08:08] Astrid furrows her brows some. She glances at the frozen hand. A bit of sarcasm laces her tone for when she speaks;
(Astrid)
[08:08] Astrid says, "Yeah, I bet the Syndicate asshole who did it would unfreeze my hand for me."
[08:08] Rafa says, "Hey I didn't know. . Maybe a friend messed up a spell. ."
[08:08] Astrid says, "Let me just go back and ask kindly.."
[08:08] Astrid shakes her head. A sigh protrudes and that rude attitude disperses, turning her expression neutral.
(Astrid)
[08:08] Rafa says, "My other suggestion would be seeking out someone else with ice magic, perhaps they could reverse it. . ."
[08:09] Rafa says, "My friend Yiron is one, but I'm not sure if he's awake."
[08:09] Astrid says, "That's why I was looking for Nerim, a medic, or Khaine Vanador, who is an ice mage too."
[08:09] Rafa says, "Drat, I hope they show up soon. .d "
[08:10] Rafa says, "It's not good for that thing to be frozen too long. ."
[08:10] Astrid says, "I know.. Gah.. I'll try to find someone. Thanks again, Rafa."
