    This is a Summer Buffet Side thread. Can we get these two related scenes put into the Lost forum Saber Sloth


    Try as he might, Anatole cannot hide the shudder and jerk than runs through him when the Onyx courtier lays a gentle, friendly, hand on his shoulder. The dwarf's fingers clench into a fist around his walking stick.

    Anatole grunts - as much as in discomfort as in surprise - and he shoots James Turner a basilisk glare before h realises who is standing at his side. Then his gaze softens into a puff of bravado.

    "I'm fine! Takes more than an Ogre to keep me down."

    The words are gruff. Anatole turns his face away so the Whisperwisp cannot see how deeply his words have affected the beaten Wizened.

    Idly, he pats James' hand - in part, recognition and thanks... and in part a crudly gentle batting away of sympathetic fingers.

    The dwarf sighs loudly when Titania drifts so effortlessly towards him. Beneath the exhalation of air is a nasty wheeze - demonstrating just how fragile the Wizened is now - and the creaking timbre of a voice becoming clogged with emotion.

    "Standing up. Which is always a good sign," he responded to the Fairest as she drew near. He huffed. Winced. Continued:

    "No. No doctors. Too many questions I can't answer. I... just have to tough it out. Argh."

    Mask

    A striking brunette in her 20s with deep blue eyes, shoulder length hair and a 1000-watt smile. Her features have a radiant beauty to them. She styles herself after the latest fashions, never forgetting to add a touch of tradition to her mises.
    Titania

    Mien

    The elegant and armonious movement of the celestial spheres is reflected upon her hair, galaxies dance across the pitch black background in clockwork-like precision, delicate specks of moondust blaze down in her wake, disappearing just as they touch the floor. Her eyes, like star sapphires, shine in tandem with the globes of light that dance around her, floating like planets swept around a Sun.

    Mantle

    A field of roses under the glistening pale moon of a star sprangled spring night. Occasionally, midnight blue roses emerge from her hair, their petals swept by a gentle breeze, just to fade into the bed of sparkling diamond moondust left in her trail by her mien, vanishing without trace soon thereafter.

    It was a display of bravado for sure. But it didn't take a clinical assessment to realize the older man was hurting and quite a lot.
    Was it an illness? An infection. The man was pained, and she couldn't stand it. Not under her watch.
    She offers him her soft hand for support. Should he accept her offer, she'll lead him to one of the tables, where they'll seat.
    "I'll treat you, if you wish", and even if he didn't, the Hippocratic Oath bound her to act.

    Skin pulled back tight against his frame and a ghostly white, eyes and mouth sucking and empty pits that appear to be without end. His shadow a deep black that seems to be driving the body instead of the other way around.

    James frowned as he saw the discomfort he’d caused Anatole, he should have expected as much and known better but he’d acted without thinking just happy to see the old man up and kicking after what had happened. Though he was trying not to think about that night, looking down, hands covered in blood. His hand pulling back quickly as Anatole gave it the pat, taking the gesture for what it was. Stuffing his hands in his pockets as a tremble began to run through them, though his face remained a placid mask.

    “That it does. You should at least see what Titania can do to help, no need for hospitals when we have competent healers within the Freehold.” He gave a nod to Titania, hoping he could at least get the stubborn dwarf to have her get a once over and see what she could do to at least ease his pain.

    Anatole listened and nodded absently, his gaze distracted by a very large Ogre and Circe passing him a flask.

    With a wince and a whimper he could not quite contain, the burned dwarf shuffled around to focus more on Titania and James more deliberately.

    "Aye. I'll take a healing if yer offering."

    His voice shifted tone and pitch before he caught himself with a grunt.

    "Its good to know the Freehold has some healers on its payroll. I mean... surely you don't do this for free?"

    There was a question in his voice and a much more curious look in his eyes - Anatole had, up till now, assumed that Titania was a typical Fairest butterfly. He was now having to alter his views.

    "And you? How have you fared... since...?" His voice drifted as he continued, turning his attention to the Whisperwisp. Anatole's battle had been close and visceral: he really didn't remember much beyond Iron Meg and her merciless grip, let alone what anyone else had been doing.

    "Payment?", she asks befuddled by his words. She gently taps his leg, trying to gauge the extent of the wound.
    "Does it hurt if I touch here?", it's a clinical touch, but devoid of the coldness of a professional. "I seek no payment, maybe you could fetch me a glass of water afterwards?"
    She sees herself treating her patient. In one future the capricious wyrd barely acknowledges her call, in another, a shower of glamour pours from her fingertips and like a wondrous balm knits the Man's injuries. It's the future she wills into existence.

    1 success

    6 successes

    1 success


    1 glam for glimpse, 1 glam + 1 WP for Spring 3. She rolled an exceptional success. With 2 successes and 2 additional points of glamour she converts Anatole's 2 aggravated into lethal. Bringing him to 9 lethal and 0 Agg, with the 4 remaining successes, she converts 4 lethal to bashing. Bringing Anatole to 5 Lethal and 4 Bashing. Gonna wait a turn to hear his reaction

    “Wait? The Freehold pays people?” He said with a short laugh hoping the joke was evident enough past his deadpan delivery. He assumed most of them banded together and helped each other out of necessity and to be unlike them. Come Anatole’s question he gave a one sided shrug of his shoulder, eyes glancing to his hand as he lied through his teeth. “I’ve been ok. Besides the obvious, how’ve you been holding up?” Facing ones own death, their mortality, was never easy. It weighed on James all the time, thinking about how much time he’s lost and will never get back.

    He took a step back to give Titania space to work, not wanting to interfere in this operation. Fate was often Fickle but it often gave you what you needed. He watched the healing magics work on Anatole, corners of his lips curling into a small smile. An actual smile from the Winter.

    "A glass of water. So little..."

    He turned his head, sharply and painfully, to the Whisperwisp.

    "What have I been doing? Learning to walk. Again -"

    Anatole had given his consent and was content enough to let the Bright One minister to his wounds. His foot jerked, aggressively, to her touch - pained and strained nerves jumping all over the place, such was the extent of his injuries.

    And then the waves of healing Glamour rolled through him.

    "OOOOOOOHHHH!"

    The Wizened shivered as the sheer volume of stress he was carrying evaporated. Almost reflexively, he sucked in a deep lungful of air, something he had been unable to do since Iron Meg smashed his ribs to pulp. He ended in a thick cough as he over-exerted his still taxed frame.

    Anatole slumped heavily on his walking stick.

    He took another massive breath.

    "Ha! Gah! Thats better..."

    It wasn't over yet. There were still wounds that needed tending.
    She takes another deep breath, before she begins her plea anew.
    This time the result is even more astounding. An ocean of thick glamour is hers to command.
    When she's done, the dwarf is back into shape. And hers... well, dark circles appear under her eyes and she almost falls from her chair. She's spent and thirsty.

    2 successes

    7 successes

    4 successes


    7 successes, with 5 she'll downgrade the 5 lethal to bashing, resulting in 9 bashing. With 2 more she'll remove 2 bashing entirely. Anatole is at 7 bashing

    He frowned at Anatole’s response, sympathy for the man. He’d been barely recognizable when they’d hauled him out of there barely breathing…He shook his head to get those sounds out of his head again, those wet, rasping wheezes. Not something he’ll soon forget if every. He’d turned to get the water as the flow of glamour began stitching flesh back together, resetting bone and he even saw the bruising begin to recede. It was a thing to behold, drawn in by the wonder of it as Titania nearly collapsed.

    He held out an arm to support her, shuffling his feet to reach for a chair slowly dragging it over for her. When she managed to sit down he pushed the panic in his brain down. Food and water. That’s all they needed, right? No way of knowing but he’d rush off to grab them finger foods and as many bottles of water as he could carry. Two in one hand, one in each pocket, the other hand holding a plate of finger foods that he sat between them.

    “Do you need anything else, I just didn’t want you to have to wait in case you really needed it.” And it was right over there so it’s not like I had to go far.
