Rayne smiled slightly and brushed the hair from his face. "He's delirious", she muttered before helping him up. "Come on... lets get you inside".
Rayne didn't look back to see what the other knight might be doing, she didn't care. As far as she was concerned.... she didn't care what he thought of her. She wasn't going back to the army... she had just proved it by killing a sceithian spy. Even if the kill had been enjoyable.
The dhampire set the human down on the bed and had a look at his head, being surprisingly gentle compaired to what she had displayed earlier. She frowned when she saw that he was bleeding, then thought for a second. It was worth a shot.... Rayne pushed back the sleeve of her shirt and bit into her own wrist!
But she let go instantly before holding it over the wound, allowing a couple of drops to fall before wiping away the blood on her wrist. She thought.... that with her blood his wound would heal faster than normal..... or so she hoped. Rayne then held a wad of bandage to the wound and moved to look Eric in the eye.
"Eric", she said quietly. "I need you to focus.... what day is it?" She was checking to see if he was still delirious.... thinking that it might have passed by now.

Eric grimaced when the bandage touched his forehead. The birds and stars were gone, but were replaced by a pounding headache. "saturday, i think." He racked his rain for the answer. "Please dont do that gain, at least not in front of me. Isnt it funny? Im used to blood and gore from people i help, but the second i see someone die, i freak out. Ah, the irony." He closed his eyes as a fresh wave of pain washed over him. "What you did was right, though. I only wish i had the chance to get him." He said laughing, but then crying out in pain again. He reached into a table drawer near him and withdrew a bottle of leaves, then took some out. "Im going to sleep now. These will put me out, and help the headache. Mind stayin here while i sleep?" he asked, sliding a hand out to hold her wrist.

Rayne looked down in surprise when Eric took hold of her wrist. Every muscle in her body became tense... almost as if she was about to rip his hand off for touching her. No one had ever dared try to touch her unless they were healing her. Other than that.... she never let them. But this time.... seeming as she was trying to make a good impression on everyone she didnt react. Even though it was the wrist she had bitten ((he didn't see her do it))... for someone who was normally immune to pain, a dhampir bite was nothing compaired to the real deal, but Rayne couldn't deny that she was in pain. "Atleast not yet..." she finally spoke up. "I need to clean the wound first".
Rayne removed the bandage from the wound, most of the blood had been soaked up but it still needed to be cleaned. She moved over to a wash basin and dipped a clean rag into it, soaking it through. She rung it out in her hand before coming back and gently dapping the wound clean. "I'm sorry if this stings".
After a minute or so the wound was clean and Rayne could see it better. It was already healing.... her blood had worked! She almost sighed in relief... instead she just smiled slightly. "Now you can sleep", she muttered quietly. "It's clean".

Eric saw her reaction and withdrew his hand quikley. "Uh...sorry.. i was just...checking your pulse." He saidquickley, blushing a bit. When she started dabbing at his head, he winced, it did sting, but he just took it. After she was finished, he craxked the bottle and took out the leaves again. "If your tired, feel free to use any of the beds around here. blankets are under each. And while i sleep, i trust you to not bite me." He chuckled at the last comment. if she were a normal human, that would have come out wrong. Before waiting for a response, he quickley ate the leaves, and his vision started blurring. As the delirium came back, his hand went out again, almost on its own, to give her hand a little squeeze before going limp.

Rayne turned her back to Eric when he fell asleep, smiling slightly. She was only smiling because she was glad that he was ok.... or atleast thats what she convinced herself to think. She cracked her neck before taking a look at her wrist... her pale skin was stained with blood. Gently with the rag from before she dabbed the blood away and wrapped a bandage around it. Then she pulled her sleeve down to hide what she had done.
Rayne had to admit that she was feeling somewhat tired and decided to relax abit.... but being part vampire she naturally took to the roof like a bat. Sitting upside down in the corner of the room with her hair hanging down Rayne meditated quietly, letting each of her muscles relax. But she kept watch on everything outside, taking note of her horse finally turning up... atleast she didn't need to tend to him, atleast not yet.

OOC: I can work with that.
About two or three hours later Rayne woke up feeling somewhat dizzy. Well... not strange seeming as she was hanging upside down from the roof. "D*mn human inheritance", she muttered quietly before jumping down to stand upright on the floor. Then she took a swig of old blood from a flash that she kept hidden in her boot. To her it was an instant cure for dizziness. Quickly she returned the flask to her boot and looked over at Eric, wondering how much longer he would be asleep for.

Eric was dreaming in his sleep. At first, he was walking along a pleasant forest path, with birds in the background and a murmering brook next to him. Then he was stadning in front of a familiar building. it was his home. He walked in to find his mother and father, sisters all sitting at the table, seemingly waiting for him to sit down. He then was upstairs, but it was night. There were screams and smoke in the air. He then heard his father yell. He runs down the stairs to find his kitchen ablaze. He watches then as a pirate stabs his mother in the stomach.
All of a sudden Eric awoke with a jerk and yelled out. "No, Mom!". Her was sweating, and was scared and crying, but he realized he was just in the hospital. He laid back, still crying a bit. He looked around, and saw Rayne looking at him. He quickley wiped away his tears and rolled over.
OOC: might be the first time anyone heres about his past.

Rayne frowned slightly and walked over. She put a hand on Eric's shoulder lightly and rubbed the back of it with her thumb. "Eric?" she asked unsurely. "Are you ok?" Her voice was quite, as if attempting to comfort him about something she had no clue about.
She didn't know what had scared him... but she knew fear when she saw it, or smelt it. "Nightmare?" she asked, certain that she was right.
Suddenly Rayne felt helpless. But it wasn't the traditional helpless feeling. All those cases she was able to over come.... but this was different. Something was convincing her that Eric had seen something from his past.... most likely his family. Rayne had never seen this before.... and she couldn't say that she understood either, her mother had died before Rayne could remember her and her father Zhao had died at Rayne's own hand... slaughter by her own blade.
Rayne's eyes became glazed over as she fell into the memory. Her father, believing her birth a sin for being half human and attempting to drown her. In the struggle Rayne had only reacted... no thought involved. She remembered blood splattering across her face as she swung the sword, slicing Zhao's head clean off. Then water logged and dazed Rayne ran off into the darkness of the street. That had been two years after her sister, Zarita's birth... Zarita being born 1683 years after her own. Rayne had been 1685 when it had happened. She had never understood why Zhao had waited so long to redeem himself of an apparant sin, but the point was that it had happened, and Rayne had stopped it.
Rayne shook her head to snap herself out of it... better to leave the past alone in her case. Instead she turned her attention back to Eric.

D nodded and walked into the room to Rayne. "Look I understand about you, Im not so sure about the Army either. I will not say a word of this to the king. I too have doubts about the armys cuase. A old friend of mine Armond brought that to my attention and im beging to think hes right... If you wish for me to stay I will or I can go.."

Eric felt her hand on his back. "Its nothing, you wouldn't want to hear about it." He looked over at theother person in the room. He didnt know who he was, nor did he care. "Ill let you guys talk." Eric got up and went to his office, dissapearing behind a stack of leaflets and boxes.

Rayne watched Eric go before turning to D. "The king holds us both highly..." she said. "He'd have us both killed if he found out that you were here". Then she decided on something that she never would have prior to the battle. "Go back to the king.... tell him I'm dead".
Then she ran off after Eric. She found him in an office and walked towards him. "What did you see?"

Eric paused in his work, facing a large stack of material. "You wouldnt want to hear about it. It's very deppresing. " His eyes darkened, the memories returning. "This isnt the best time, and i have great friends, but iv'e never told them." He turned to look at her, meeting her gaze. "I barely know you."
