Injuries and Anger

[Zora Lee]

She had been riding Caryn for a long time. But now she was somewhere on the ground. She didnt know how she got there, she just knew that she was alone and weak. She looked over at her hand and saw that her hand looked like someone had chewed on it a few times. She had gotten so angry at Rionos that she didnt stop to think about what she was doing and just let the glass stay in her hand and let it bleed freely. She faintly remebered seeing the blood flying as she rode Caryn away from the Tower. But she had been so upset that she didnt care. Rionos's words still stung but she knew that he was angry at her for what she had said to Maezyl. She tried getting up, then felt Caryn nuzzle her. She smiled slightly and reached up to pat Caryn giving up on trying to get up, "I'm alright Caryn...I think."

[Alder Zotithla]

He walked through the Swamp and just had a sense of trouble and looked around, and then seeing a familiar horse and sensing a familiar aura across the bog, he sighed and then waded through whatever muck was ahead of him and came back up and knelt beside her."Zora, what are you doing here?" He frowned and eyed her hand."Right..." He scratched his ear and then put his hand over her, willing her to heal, holding her wounded hand, summoning his energy to heal the hand so it would stop bleeding.

[Zora Lee]

She sensed someone nearby, but she was to weak to sense their aura. She tried to look around but ti was a feeble attempt. Not till she heard the voice did she know who it was. She was still hurt and angry by what he had said to her, but she knew she was in no condition to make him go away. She looked up at him and smiled weakly, "I decided to go for a ride...among other things. What are you doing here?" She watched him try to heal her hand and shook her head, "I dont think that will work Alder. There is still glass in it. I think by this time its deep too."

[Alder Zotithla]

"Figures, I get the dud for healing powers. How about I just get the pain over with, I know I can do that pretty well." he sighed and then eyed her hand, whipped out his dagger and dug around for the glass, prying the pieces out.

[Zora Lee]

"You don't have the dud healing powers Alder." She watched him and winced when she felt him digging around in her hand with the knife. She closed her eyes and looked away trying to hold back the cry of pain that was fighting to get out. She clenched her other hand around Caryn's reins, trying to forget the pain.

[Alder Zotithla]

"Well, you should have been healed, but apparently that's not so." he frowned and then plucked the rest of the glass out."There, not going to try and heal you again since it didn't work the first time." He ripped the bottom half of his shirt and wrapped it tightly around her hand.

[Zora Lee]

"It probably didnt work cause your power's know I'm not worth healing." She bit her lip as he dug the rest of the glass out. But she wouldnt allow herself to let on how much pain she was in. She felt him wrapping her hand and looked back at it, "Thanks Alder." She tried to sit up again, but it was a useless attempt. She had lost to much blood.

[Alder Zotithla]

"Yes, of course, not worth healing, heaven forbid." he shook his head and tended to the horse."You're an idiot for running away like this you know." He shook his head some more.

[Zora Lee]

She looked at him and sighed, "Its not worth the head ache right now Alder. So don't start." She looked back at Caryn and then back at him, "I wasn't running away. You have no idea what happend but it wasn't me running. I dont run, I'm not a wimp." She felt a bit of her energy return and sat up, feeling like she had just ran head first into a brick wall.

[Alder Zotithla]

"Whatever it was, it was stupid." he shook his head."Of course it's worth the headache Zora. People are going to wonder where you are, they'll worry and all that, like people do." he shook his head."Like I said, an idiotic move on your part."

[Zora Lee]

She looked up at him angrily and then shook her head, "No Alder they wont becaue everyoen is pissed at me. First I yelled at Mom. I said horrible thigns that I didnt mean. Then Rionos, he told me to leave. And Dad, he is probably shooting fireballs after hearing what I said." She sighed and felt a tear fall down her cheek, "They don't want me there."

[Alder Zotithla]

"Oh of course they don't after keeping you right? If that was the case, they would have just thrown you away in the beginning or something." he shook his head."Zora, who CARES if people don't want you anyway, you make it seem like it'll be the end of the world. All you do is make me mad, you know that?"

[Zora Lee]

''Alder you dont understand, what i said was horrible. It doesnt help that I was drunk and out of my right mind." She looked up at him, "I care Alder! I don't want to end up like Them, they werent wanted and I think thats why they did what they did! I want to be wanted to be apart of my family again." She sighed and looked away from him, "It's not surprising that I do. But I dont mean to."

[Alder Zotithla]

"Yeah, well, you're wanted there, that's why thinks like that HURT!" He growled angrily."You know, for supposedly liking me Zora, you're horrible at showing it." he shook his head and just rested against Caryn.

[Zora Lee]

She rubbed her head, "WEll they all have a real funny way of showing it. Especially Rionos, he told me to leave and if I go back now he'll probably jsut try kicking me out again." She looked up at him surprised, "Alder...." She sighed and looked away, "It's because I dont know how to go about showing it. Everytime I do it goes horribly wrong. I always end up making you angrier."
