David's hand reached for the Dark-Drinker.
The pegasus would lie on the ground, writhing in pain, and shifting, until ot was no longer a pegasus.
But, a man in seemingly lanky old Middle-Ages knight armor from Earth, and a cloak that was a wolfskin, with a wolfhead for a hood.
"Oh Traveler... that dragon. That little psychotic elf lady... that damn dragon..." he cursed, panting. The man sounded younger, even younger than David.
"Who are you?" David asked.
"Fabio," the man panted, "I was supposed to infiltrate Khaom... until psychotic elf.... released that dragon..."

"...That is good to see, you know. That you care. They're family, but.. well, some people in Trayve just don't care for each other." [i]Camella sighed, patting David on the shoulder.[/i] "I'll advise against sending troops. He asks for my input too, you know."
-
David nodded, understanding, "I hope they're doing okay. Maybe I'll visit them when I am able."
-
"Certainly. But for now.." [i]Camella sighed, shaking her head a little.[/i] "Listen, you wouldn't mind if I stayed by, would you? Me being a cripple, and all. I'll sleep in a chair, if you want."
-
"No... you should sleep in the bed. You're injured, you need comfort," David told Camella. "I'll sleep in a chair," he told her, "Camella, you need rest more than I do." Such a gentleman. A fine young man. He seemed to fine with sleeping in a chair.
-
"You're so stubborn.." [i]Camella mentioned, lying upon the bed then.[/i] "So stubborn but caring, too. I hope.. I hope to see you lead a good cause. I know, you don't want to. No good man does, but.. but truly good men do things that inspire generations of prosperity."
-
David sighed, "I don't know. I don't know how to help these people at this time. I want to help them. I don't know how."
-
"You should be getting more sleep at this rate. You sound exhausted.." [i]Camella then mentioned, her left eyebrow slightly raised.[/i]
-
"Right... today's been exhausting... mostly mentally," David shrugged. He sat down at the foot of the bed.
-
"Shhh. You'll be alright." [i]Camella would say, looking up at David as she laid down.[/i] "Do you need a pillow, sir?"
-
"Please... don't call me sir," David muttered, "I'm... going to try not to think of my siblings..."
-
"It's just a.. courtesy. Sorry." [i]Camella murmured then.[/i] "I just.. respect you more, that's all."
-
"I do not want such praise," David replied. He closed his eyes, bowing his head. His dark brown hair was slightly messier than when it when its was neatly combed. Strays drooped down. The man was silent, for a few minutes. When spoke again, it was a rather, unusual statement, "I have 12 siblings."

-
Edited by Splashback77: 2/9/2018 3:51:39 AM"I'm glad I haven't been in contact with my father in a while with everything that's been going on in both Tatakais," David sighed, "He would be rather... pissed off." He heaved a sigh, "Of the twelve siblings that I have, only five of them are my blood realtives. The rest.... are from different realities than me. Of my blood siblings, I'm the youngest. The two oldest of them are the twins: Rose and Jack. Then there's Iris, the lone one. There was Kyren... and Allyson..." David teared up a bit as he mentioned their names. He sniffled, trying to hold back his tears. He shivered, as tears began to fill up his eyes, his voice becoming less calm and more shaken, and sounded a pitch or two higher, "K-kyren, Allys-son, and I... we were... a set of triplets... I.. I'm lucky... to remember them at all. I was... was the only one that... that lived of those three." He calmed down, again, wiping away his tears, "I... I... rarely tell that to anyone."

[i]Camella fell silent as she then listened to David, her eyes then widening a little, as she crossed her hands together in her silent demeanor. When he finished the story, she would rise up from underneath the covers, stand up, and then approach him and kneeled down in front of him. The knightess took David's hand then, with her unbroken one, sighing.[/i] "...When I was younger, my mother used to say "Remember me, dear". I.. I never found out why, at that age. Now I know. Infection took over her being, and we were too poor.. too poor to save her. Father drunk himself into a stupor as she begged for help, while mother would lay in bed, puking and crying and bleeding. Amy.. I kept her away from the room. I couldn't let her see.. mother. Then she.. then she never woke up from it. My father, he.. he didn't care for her. Her body sat in the guest room for a day. U-Until I retrieved a guardsmen and had it brought out. F-Father was drunk and stupid.. he was put on trial. When we were alone, before he was sent away.. he threatened to twist my head off so quickly, that it would.." [i]Camella fell silent, then, for a moment.[/i] "...I'm sorry, David. ...it's a story I've never told anyone. But you, because I respect you, I trust you with my life, I.. ...I'm sorry."
-
He seemed to understand. "Must have been a hard life. Can I give you hug?" He asked.
-
"It wasn't, I.. alright, maybe it was. And.." [i]Camella fell silent once more, before then hugging David on her own.[/i]
-
He gently hugged back, careful not to hurt her injured arm.
-
[i]Burrowing her face against his shoulder, David could feel a few tears leave Camella's eyes as she silently cried. Perhaps he was the first individual that she had been able to.. connect with, to develop a bond with. A sad thing, really.[/i]
-
Edited by Splashback77: 2/4/2018 2:22:34 PM"It's alright, Camella," David assured, "You can trust me with your tears." He fell silent as he shed a few himself.
-
[i]She nodded in his shoulder, before a sob left her mouth. She hugged him tighter, finally breaking down a little.[/i]
-
He nodded, respecting her grief. David was nonetheless caring. He cared about everyone.
-
Edited by Weeaboo Of War: 2/4/2018 6:43:56 PM[i]What felt like countless minutes of crying and sobbing would carry on, until Camella finally fell silent in David's arms, her own still kept around his being. She breathed softly, while she kept her being still. Outside, the sun had begun to set.[/i]
-
The silence endured.
-
[i]Camella had begun to fall quiet, before seemingly falling asleep in David's arms. Outside, a knock was heard.[/i]
