"ouchie"

Liress starts to pluck at the bandages that cover her entire chest and wrap around her back, "Ehh... it's starting t'itch."

OrionDouglas wonders what's with the bandage. She looks a Liress, a frown on her face.

Liress shakes her head to Tia, "Not yet. That weird elder chic thing secreted something into the wounds. It's taking longer than I thought to heal."

Liress had a close encounter of the weird kind earlier tonight, ODie. Some chick kicked her arse.

Liara looks over at the odd sight of her sister in bandages " What the hell happened to you ?"

Liress blinks at Liara, "Had an argument, though it seemed awfully one sided since I was the only one doing the talking."

[Liress] "Umm... had a weird kraken tattoo... greenish blue eyes... skeletal... cuz Adesia sorta acid bolted her repeatedly."

[Kashshaptu] "Oh my ... that sounds like the one your mother just took home"

Liress blinks and winces, clutching at her chest, "Sunnova.... BITCH! That stings!"

Liress growls lightly, "Daughter... ? Ugh..." She sits back down slowly, "The girl kept calling me sister and wanted to steal my li'l ounce of elderhood away."

Liara shivers slightly, a single action that no doubt Wulfey would feel as she looks at Liress. " The girl can steal elderhood ?"

Wulfechylde looks sharply at Liress at the mention of elderhood. Her arm tightens imperceptibly about Liara's shoulders, drawing her closer into her embrace

Liress nods to Liara, a tear of minute pain dripping down her ebon cheek, "Yeah... she can smell it on people, too. She wanted mine but I wouldn't give it to her."

OrionDouglas would get involved, but for the fact that it's an Ebonclaw family thing.

Liara seems to stare dreamily off into space, the next words coming unbidden. " I wonder if she can be made to restore it."

Liress shakes her head to Liara, "Harvester... that is the word that comes to mind when I struggled with her. I do not think she would give any portion up. She was rather relentless."

OrionDouglas notes it's that and the fact that all but two members of said family scare her.

Liress lays her head back, "I need some new bandages." She comments to herself and noone else.

Liara glances up at Liress and begins weaving soft enchantments, the girl is somewhat of a healer and if there's one person she does know the physiology of it's her own sister. She attempts at least to alleviate the wounds and accelerate the healing

Liress blinks and watches Liara, "Ouch! Careful..." She pouts, all of the wounds oozing a viscous yellowish liquid.

Liara gets to work quickly, such things are in some way simpler with her sister, it's really all about replacing undifferentiated tissue so that her sister can reform the bits torn away. Her spellcasting is quick and efficient, blanketting the wounds with spells of her own design to cure Liress and Lanen specifically.

Liress blinks at Liara and bites her lip and nods a little to ODie. Extra healing wouldn't hurt. The problem is, she doesn't really know why she can't heal the wounds on her own.

Liress notes that's only part of it, ODie. As Liara works on the spell casting, little blood soaked, barbed thorns start to come to the surface.

OrionDouglas notes that the best way then is to contiually clean the wounds, this is something she can do.

Liara works quickly using spells to pluck out tiny thorns and discard them with practised skill...however even doing this seems to be exerting her still child body and she's beginning to perspire. Of course Liara being who she is she carries on despite the growing signs of fatigue

OrionDouglas looks to a empty space besides Liress and concentrates... a globule of water comes into existance... It grows and elongates, so that it resembles Liress' torso...

Wulfechylde begins to look more concerned as Liara shows more and more signs of fatigue.

Liress will of course intercede, "Liara... stop it right now. Don't make me get forceful..." She nods to ODie and then looks to Liara, "Let her try... you can't exhaust yourself like this. It isn't at all healthy... "

Liara steps back and nearly falls, her black skin nearly paled to a dark grey and all she seems to feel is anger at herself " Dammit, I should be able to do more."

OrionDouglas stares at the water, willing it to grow and move... she moves it so it encases Liress's upper body ((which is where the wounds are, I guess))..

Wulfechylde steps in behind Liara, catching her before she falls and supporting her weight..."Liara....Don't....Not now"

Liress winces at Liara's tone and closes her eyes. While the healing energies helped, the thorns were rather toxic and quite painful. The water seems to cool her a bit and she sighs. The warmth of the wounds make the water steam and nearly bubble.

OrionDouglas draws the heat away from the water, keeping it the same temprature as a swimming pool.. She wills the water to swirl in shape, so that fresh water is constantly washing over the wounds.

Liress keeps her eyes closed as the water washes bit by bit of the infection and toxicity of the thorns away, little globules of yellow floating around in the water.

Liara frowns and then seems to almost collapse inwardly, drained by such little things

Wulfechylde catches Liara up in her arms and carries her carefully over to a couch beside Liress', laying her out gently on the sofa.

OrionDouglas sees the imperfections and draws them away, adding in fresh water to replace what was lost. She breaks out into a sweat as she forms another globule of the impure water..

Liara sobs softly to herself and curls up on the couch, shaking with emotion and exhaustion. " Useless, I'm just damned useless."

Wulfechylde 's brow creases even further as she leans over Liara, stroking her arms and shoulders with her palms "No Liara...No. You're not useless, not in any manner..."

OrionDouglas speaks, although it's broken, disjointed. "Liara.. I felt that.. way once."

Liress senses Liara near and hears her crying and immediately opens her eyes to look at her, even trying to get up during the 'washing' of her wounds, "Liara... please... not useless..."

Liara sobs softly " There was a time I could hold suns in my void and swallow worlds...now I can barely heal someone. Oh the song, how much I miss the song. It used to permeate me, guide me but now I hear nothing...nothing except those proper to a useless mote of flesh and bone

OrionDouglas swears slightly as Liress' sudden move almost breaks her concentration. As it is, she shifts the water ball to once again surround Liress..

Wulfechylde finds her eyes filling with tears as she carefully continues to rub Liara's shoulders and down along her back...But she finds herself speechless, not ever having known the true immortality Liara once did.

[OrionDouglas] Even.. mortals... have happyness. Know your past... *she shivers slightly at this* but know that it is behind you, look... to the now

Liress ' pain increases further with each utterance of Liara's empty voice, jerking herself off the couch to her knees on the floor, "Liara..."

Liara wraps her arms around Wulfechylde before giving her sister a saddened smile, finally bring the hollowness under control " Liress, you remain sitll and concentrate on being healed."

OrionDouglas wonders if it's okay to dispose of the growing ball of filth, and wonders the best way to do so.

Wulfechylde gets up from her kneel, sliding onto the couch and lifting Liara gently into her lap, wrapping her arms and wings around the delicate form, cradling her.

Liara leans against Wulfey but seems to have the tears and sadness under control now, the veneer sliding back into place over the empty, yawning pit of her emotions

Liress looks to Wulfey, then Liara. She frowns lightly and slaps at the cleansing water bath that surrounds her upper torso, oddly becoming angry.

Liress splish splashes while trying to part the water from her body, "Just...get it off of me!"

OrionDouglas moves the water away and draws any remaining impuritys from it.. she dissapates the rest.

Liress notes the wounds are still there, but the icky part seems to have been alieviated... her skin has also begun repairing the damage, though slowly.

OrionDouglas would be glad to see that she was of use.. if she wasn't unconscious.

Kashshaptu sets her glass down, stands and walks over toward Liress, stopping by Orion

Kashshaptu looks at Liress calmly and smiles "Please calm down", then kneels down by Orion

Liress growls a little at Tia and pulls herself up to standing, immediately stalking away. Grateful she is not... at the moment.

Kashshaptu ignores the growl as she glances at Orion .. she would help pick her up and get her to a couch, but she couldn't do it alone ..

Thisel moves to the couch quickly but with a waiters step so that Orion doesn't feel the steps, and lays her on the couch. "Anything else?"

[Thisel] "I don't know Tia.... She seems to hate my guts alot for only trying to help."

Kashshaptu looks at Thisel "Some are like that around here" .. shrugs .. looks at Pard and waves a farewell

OrionDouglas sits up and automatically leans against Kash, not really aware that Kash isn't who she thought was there.
