Tale as Old As Time [Finished]

[yamikuronue]

The wolf kicks and struggles, frantic and terrified, but he lets go of Echo to do so.

[CalamityJade]

Obsidian lets go of his grip on Lance. "Alright...shit...Lance, calm down. We're not going to hurt him." Though now he DOEs have to make sure both Lance and Echo is alive.

[accalia]

Julie inserts her body between Lance and Obsidian/Echo.

Julie: See to Echo first, If the healing took than Siegfried is still alive and while he can bear more than most i'm pretty sure Echo isn't immortal, that leg needs a tourniquet and i'm the wrong shape to apply that right now. I'll check on Siegfried while you handle Echo.

[yamikuronue]

Lance whines, pushing his way between Siegfried and Julie, though he has to stand over top of Siegfried to manage it. On the bright side, Siegfried's colour looks a lot better, and his chest rises and falls easier.

[CalamityJade]

Obsidian tore the bit of his shirt so he could try and stem the bleeding on Echo's leg. "Fucking hell...what kind of idiot does that sort of thing BEFORE we're sure it's needed." For all they knew, Siegfried might have acutally survived the bleeding...of course NOW they all that to wait for the next moon to see what the hell was going to happen. Like there wasn't enough to worry about without THAT being a problem.

[accalia]

Julie: stand down whelp, the danger is past. You did good protecting your friend here but now that he's safe we need to get a look at him to see how he's doing.

The leg wound is quick to respond to the tourniquet that Obsidian applies to Echo, soon it stops bleeding,but no clot or scab begins to form. a small glint of metal can be seen in the wound now that the blood has stopped flowing from it so vigorously.

[yamikuronue]

The wolf doesn't move, bristling and snarling as he stands guard.

[CalamityJade]

"...Right. He seems to not be bleeding out, at least." The metal concerns him, but he wasn't in a position to really press about it. Though...he did try to lightly move one side of the wound in the hopes of getting a better look at it.

[accalia]

Julie positions her body in a non threatening stance before talking to lance again.

Julie: I don't want to hurt your friend, just look at him. stand aside please so i can check how he is doing.

As Obsidian probes the wound in Echo's leg he can see that the metallic glint is part of a bullet. From the condition it's in it appears to be the remains of a 9mm hollow-point.

[CalamityJade]

Obsidian tried to see if he could get THAT bit out at least before they tried moving him. "Give me a second and I'll look after him...I don't think he's willing to let anyone close to him."

[accalia]

Julie: Fair enough. His colour is returning and he's breathing better. That much at least i can see.

Julie sits down, just inside striking distance of Lance and waits. both front paws flat on the ground, head cocked slightly to one side.

The Bullet fragment is removed easily enough, but close examination reveals it to be only about half the expected size from a standard 9mm bullet. A palpitation of the would would indicate a hard mass about half an inch inside the muscle.

[CalamityJade]

"Damn...how the hell did he manage that?" Obsidian frowned at the leg. "He's got a bullet in him...and my fingers are no where near tiny enough to pull it out." He shook his head. "We need to move the both of them back to the house...and I sure as hell can't carry them." And neither of them were conscious enough to grab on to something. "I'm gonna head back to the house. Get one of the bigger cars so we can drive them back."

[yamikuronue]

Lance remains still, though he lowers his head to sniff at Siegfried's hand, cautiously.

[accalia]

Julie: Check his left shirt sleeve. Unless he's changed his habits he'll have a knife there. As for getting back I can carry Siegfried, his frame is small enough if you use his jacket to tie him on. if this whelp will calm down long enough to listen for sense. Do you understand Whelp? Lance? I just want to get your friend his home.

[CalamityJade]

Obsidian looks at the sleeve, trying to see if he could find the knife. "Might be easier to tie this one to you." He chuckled for a moment before continuing. "Lance isn't going to trust you with Siegfried...which says an interesting thing about him, but that's not for now."
