[Action]

[As night falls, anyone near the northern edge of the village might spot a figure slowly limping his way towards the southern reaches of town, headed towards House 25. Closer observation will reveal that it's Arumat, battered and bleeding and dragging his right leg as he doggedly trudges on in silence. There's a makeshift splint on his injured leg; the pants leg beneath it is flattened and soaked with blood from an unknown injury. It's obvious that he's in pretty bad shape. However, any offers of help will likely be met with an angry glare... he's focused on one thing and one thing alone, and that's getting back home.

Of course, Arumat being Arumat, he won't announce his return once he reaches the house. Instead, he'll drag himself to the couch in the living room, where he'll collapse, too exhausted and in too much pain to manage the trek from it to his own room.

... and yes, he left a nice blood trail from the door to the couch. Have fun cleaning that up, Myuria and Draco.]

And as soon as they get healed just enough, you're going to charge out and do something stupid to get injured again. [Myuria and Draco are like two peas in a pod. She's busy with the healing still.] So you stay still and let us work.

[Arumat will just heave a very audible sigh, but he'll remain sitting to let them get at his wings.]

Don't blame me if you wear yourself out.

...as much as I hate to say this, I think Arumat has a point. [He gives Myuria a look.] Don't wear yourself out, I can take over. Just...you know, don't go away. [In case Arumat tries killing him or something.]

[She glares at both of them, first Arumat, then Draco.] Get me some blueberries.

[No worries, he's too worn out to protest any of this or even glare back. In fact, he might be starting to tip forward slightly...]

[Wand. In your face.] Don't you dare. [But he removes it then and storms into the kitchen, hunting to see if there are any blueberries around. And if not? Yeah, he's a wizard. He'll transfigure some! Hell yeah transfiguration! He comes back with a bowl of blueberries and a skeptical look.] And...why?

[More healing to try and keep him coherent. She's not in the mood to argue and she just wants this over with. She hates the aftermath of Mallynappings. However, she's relieved to see Draco return with the blueberries.] Thank you, Dragon. [Going to stop to eat a few, quickly.] They're rejuvenating when you've been using a lot of magic. [Feeling slightly better, she'll go back to healing.]

[He's definitely tilting now, but he's making a valiant effort to remain upright. Arguing any of this is probably the furthest thing from his mind right now. Still, if Myuria starts looking like this is getting to be too much for her, he won't hesitate to stop her.]

[Draco's busy keeping an eye on both of them, using a bit of his own magic to work on Arumat's wings.] You are not allowed to overdo it, and you are not allowed to pass out yet. Not yet, at least.

[Myuria's not going to let this wear her down - or at least if she does, she's not going to admit to it.] I'll heal him until he's close enough to normal.

[It's hard to tell which one of them is being more stubborn at the moment. Either way, despite how out of it he currently is, he's going to reach out to grab Myuria's wrist with a grip that's surprisingly gentle for a man of his strength. (Which could also have something to do that he's about as strong as a wet noodle right now.)]

Save your strength and finish the rest later. I'm not going to die overnight, if that's what you're afraid of.

We're not nearly that lucky. [Not that he wants Arumat to die, of course, but must keep appearances. He's still going about with a few healing and cleaning charms.] Worst case scenario would be if we left it untreated, it'd become infected and everything would be worse than when you came home. Now, I highly doubt you want to deal with that on top of everything else, do you? I think not.

[She's caught off guard by his gentleness, and that actually causes her to pause.] He's right. The faster we deal with this, the sooner we'll all be back on our feet. [She smiles a little bit.] Besides, if we stop now, that means we're going to have to force you to sit still later so we can finish the job.

And you'll be off your feet if you use up too much of your energy. Rest and finish the job tomorrow so we don't end up taking care of you instead.

[He's just sort of pushing her hand down now to emphasize his point, though still gently.]

[Draco's fairly convinced he's the only one listening to himself, so he's going to continue with what he's doing, just keeping an eye on what Arumat's doing to Myuria. Hey bro, you have to play nice with his surrogate older sister.

[She yanks her hand away and continues with her healing.] I've managed to heal you just fine before, and this time, I have help. I'll be fine.

You'd waste your energy on Death himself, even knowing he could take you with him?

Stop with the Death references, will you?

My thoughts exactly. I'll be fine!

Then you're a fool, just like him.

Says the one who dragged himself home and would rather lose his limbs. Right, I'm the fool.

[Myuria reaches out and touches Draco's shoulder to try and calm him down. She's got a wistful look on her face.] He means Crowe. [It's his form of a compliment.]

[Arumat makes a soft sound of assent, golden eyes betraying the slightest flicker of surprise. She's perceptive, he'll give her points for that-- then again, Crowe was important to both of them. It's only natural that they'd understand each other on that matter.]

[He falters for a moment once he realizes that, and he immediately calms down.] Ah. Right. [He'll just shut up and continue with what he was doing, since clearly it's not his place and he respects Myuria enough to know that.]

[She rubs his shoulder briefly before returning to healing.] You must be feeling really back if you're up to being nice.
