[ as he enters the room, he notes that wolke is still slumped on the bed. whether it's due to pain or something else, he won't know until he gets closer. which he does slowly, kicking the door shut behind him and setting the tray of food aside. now he just approaches with a cup of willow tea and a roll of bandages. ]

I haven't sent for a drysian, but I still can have someone run into town to fetch the doctor, if you want. I also brought some willow tea to help with the pain. We should probably check to see if you have any broken bones too.

[ which will require possibly divesting wolke of the remainder of his clothes. and alec, who is no longer the dalnan prude he once was, still feels heat rise to his cheeks as he clears his throat. ]

To do that, we might need to get those rags off.

[fatedblood]

I'll be fine once I get rid of the pain.

[He hopes, anyway. He's pretty sure the actual cause of the pain is gone now - his arm, at least, he can put weight on again without a problem.

Which he proves by pushing himself up slightly, half rolling over, trying to get himself into an upright position, shove his legs over the side of the bed. He grimaces at the pain, but with the other man to focus on, it works. Really, he just needs to get out of his head...]

I don't think anything is broken. Just bruised. ...Tea? [He has no idea how strong willow tea is, but it sounds like it is Larp-world's aspirin. He'll take it.]

[yashel]

Take what the Lightbearer sends, right? I'm surprised you don't have anything broken.

[ handing over the tea ( he'll have to send someone into town for something stronger ), he draws closer and settles into a chair near the bed. now that all danger of injury seems to have passed, alec is curious about the man sitting before him. he's attractive, that's for certain, and his features are fair, much like his own. but other than that, he seems like any other normal person. so how he came to be in the clearing earlier is a question alec would like answered. he's quiet for a few moments, quickly thinking of ways to approach the subject in what he hopes will be the most innocuous way possible. ]

So, Wolke... I'd like to help you on your way, but as things are right now, we have a few problems.

[fatedblood]

[He would ask about the Lightbearer, but it's fairly obvious that it is some form of deity. So for the moment, he'll just sit there and sip on the tea. It's terrible, but that's the sign of medicine, isn't it? The worse it tastes, the more it helps.]

Start with the most pressing one? [His voice is still pressed, his breaths shallow to not extend his ribcage too much. But he looks better than earlier, and he doesn't feel like he'll faint any more. Hopefully, he's in full possession of his mental capabilities again.]

[yashel]

[ dragging a hand through his hair, he sighs. it seems getting anything out of wolke will be like pulling teeth, but alec has met more daunting challenges than a reticent stranger. ]

Of course. With a fall like that, you'll probably need a few days rest at least. You can stay here or I can get you a room in town if you'd prefer.

[ he watches, quietly for a few minutes before getting up to stoke the fire. ]

Once you're fully healed, I can arrange passage for you either by land, sea, or magic. Given how you arrived, I'm guessing you'll prefer the latter.

[ glancing over his shoulder, he gives wolke a meaningful look. one that says the other blond can elaborate on what the hell happened, if he'd like. now would be a good time. ]

[fatedblood]

I'd rather not, actually. [He makes a face.] To unpredictable. [Plus can you trust a mage? No. Or at least not in 99% of the cases. They always have their own agenda. Granted, so has anyone else, but anyone else won't be able to pull surprising stunts to back their agenda up.]

Particularly considering how I arrived I'd rather not leave by magic. I had not been supposed to come out that high up in the air.

[yashel]

[ okay, that's fair. though he has a lot more faith in thero's magic than he does in whoever sent wolke here, he figures it's probably for the best that they don't resort to magic again.

alec is also noting that wolke hasn't declined staying in the manor. it seems like a small win, but not worth pressing. and while alec is familiar working alongside someone who keeps everything so close to the vest, he isn't sure how he stands with this man. ]

No magic, then. That means you'll need a boat if you want to get off the island. I can definitely arrange that, though it might take a while. My tali is currently out seeing to our manifests and our ships, but I can have word sent to him once you're better.

[fatedblood]

[In other words, he's effectively trapped here unless he gets help with getting somewhere else.

The question is: Where else? He's pretty sure this isn't Kansas any more, so to speak. The feeling aside, the way Alec talks about things paints the picture of a very different world.] There is no hurry, I don't think. [Both because he cannot go back and because he doubts he could. Definitely not by travelling around this world alone.]

It taking a while is no issue. [Yes, the tea is helping. Maybe concentrating on the conversation, also. He's still in pain, but it's bearable now.] ...you said something about different clothes? [Let him get out of these - well, Alec wasn't being wrong when he called them rags.]
