Setting
This large chamber serves as the central dining area of the temple. Large windows line the
walls and numerous large oak table and benches fill the room. Though less ornately furbished
than the rest of the temple, the sweeping architecture and the artistic arches of the glass pane
windows leave the hall as impressive as the rest of the building.

Oh my goodness, Noah why didn't you tell me this, you could teach me so many cool tricks and ...I was upset but your ice cube statement confused me that my emotions were a bit like.. what the hell..
She spoke towards Kiyomi..
You know.. that could freak some people out..
Noah shrugged, "It's kinda complicated, but basically I've ended up as some sort of long-stay carpark for dragon souls."
The teenager looked to Al-ice again then, "Uh, I don't think I can reliably teach you anything. I'm still working on learning to control things myself."
It was only a matter of time before they were coming.. Now where is that host of this area..
Exiting the area.. she brought a vial out from her sleeve and drank it..
They're coming from the hills from behind..
He watched Al-ice leave. "Uh, alright. Bye kid."
After the scream you could hear a howl..
coming from outside..
Noah peered towards the back of the dining hall, "Rhea? Rynhart? Anyone?" he called, raising his voice to try and be heard, "If you're around, there's some kid screaming outside and some sort of howling. I'm going out to check on her."
It never hurt to be safe. Noah was hardly a master of defending himself still.
SOMEONE HELP ME ,please I beg you!
"Rhea!" he shouted loudly through the temple.
Moving inside, Adriaan lay the girl atop the only flat surface available, one of the wooden tables. Strips of cloth had been bound about her leg to stem the bleeding from the open wounds, but even a casual eye could see that the leg was broken.
Scrapes and bruises adorned the side of her face, and on arm hung at an awkward angle.
"I'll do what I can, but she's burning up," Rhea said.
Shrugging off her coat, she passed it to Adriaan. While Rhea was no healer, she had the medical experience of a doctor at least. Rolling up the sleeves of her shirt, she paused to tear the tattered bits of the girl's pant leg wider to reveal the wound.
"What happened to her?" she asked.
Needless to say, it made it very loud and woke up sleeping hunters. Hunters that had nothing better to do due to a recent spout of laziness, and were resting on a staircase that was hardly used, with their face essentially stuck to the wall.
But the shout awoke the sleeping hunter, otherwise known as Loyahl, and he shot to his feet with the vigor of a herd of wild antelope. The room he was assuming the sound originated from was on the other side of the temple, and he managed to reach it within seconds, recognizing not only its owner, but the urgency of it.
Inside said room, he found two people he recognized, to his relief, and a third that lay looking rather savaged on the dining table. He had some experience in doctoring, but his knowledge of it certainly didn't extend far enough for somebody as mangled as he was observing.
If anything, the wounds he would be able to treat were the moderate abrasions and cuts, and maybe the leg, depending on the severity of the break, but he assumed by looking at the state of the arm that it was beyond his help.
Several thoughts ran through his head as he maneuvered to the side of the table opposite of Rhea, next to Adriaan, with a surprisingly calm stride. He opened and closed his mouth a couple of times before actually mustering words.
"This was no wild animal."
The furrow of his brow and the quietness of his departure betrayed his his own thoughts which echoed the words that Loyahl had uttered.
"I need some warm water, and bandages," she told Adriaan who moved off without question. "And gorroot. It'll help bring the fever down."
"Uh... what is a gorroot?" he called over his shoulder as he riffled through cupboards haphazardly.
"Second cupboard on the left," she called back. "Boil about an ounce of it into a cup of water."
"Loyahl," Rhea spoke up again, glancing towards him. "If you can help get over here, if not, give us some room."
Unable to climb back up herself, she instead vomited heavily, barely managing to stay conscious whispering desperately she said, "Fairies, help me... please help me."
And so he stayed, removing his cloak as he maneuvered himself again, tossing it to the floor before reaching to the side that Rhea was on and looking around for any form of cloth before using his teeth to tear at the sleeve of his shirt and ripping it off. He handed it off to Rhea and pointed at the girl's leg, using his now free hand to unclasp the metal plating that rested on his neck and also handing it to Rhea.
"You know how to make a splint, I'm guessing. Just make sure it's tight."
He then slid down the length of the table to find himself near the girl's head as she finished vomiting, and rested a hand firmly on her naval as he used the other to lift her torso and place her partially on her side. Didn't want to have her drowning in her own vomit.
After that, he waited for the things Rhea requested from Adriaan so he could treat the lesser wounds.
Abandoning his rather unsuccessful search of the cupboards, he swapped places with Rhea, restraining the girl as best he could upon the table.
Rhea meanwhile swept away, ruffling through the cupboard and pulling out several herbs that she tossed onto the counter. Several were sprinkled into a clay mug of water, as she forsake boiling them in favor of faster administration. The concoction would be quite bitter as a result, but should serve as a potent combatant to the fever while dulling pain - that is if they could get it into the girl, and if the girl could keep it down.
"Make sure she drinks it all," Rhea instructed as she passed it off to Loyahl.
Moving away, Rhea put some water on to heat while washing her hands up to her elbows under the running water. The water wasn't heated out here in the temple, but it was better than nothing.
