BURN THE BOAT BURN THE SAIL
The state of the other injured being was just as annoying as it was gratifying. Normally, he wouldn't wish harm upon anyone, not those he had seen as allies until recently. Cracking his neck with a chuff of breath, feeling tiny fires light into being along his pelt and shaking himself as if in effort to knock them out, to shed the burning cinders. There was no such luck, sadly. The fire wasn't something that he controlled, it had a mind of it's own, or it was controlled by some other entity. He didn't want to think about that.
Fixing the vampire with a stern one-eyed gaze, as much as the disorientating pain could allow for, an unwilling laugh bubbling up, "Disobeyed me? You have little choice, darling", he growled as he withdrew keys from his satchel and set about unlocking the cell, pushing the door open with an already aching shoulder. Staring down at the other, "Not just here for talk? I suppose you're right about that, I need to fix your injured ass up.", he issued a low growl to xem, licking his scarred and aching jaw. Reaching forward with sheathed claws, paw turning as he meant to attempt to cup xer chin in his paw, done in an attempt to get a better look at xer face, "You've seen better days, my dear. Much better days. Regretting deciding to attack our ship and Seven, yet?", humming as he moved to sit beside xem and drew linen bandages from his satchel as well as a container of salve. Setting his paws on the ground, he focused his attention on the flagstones below and let his eye fall to half-lid, calling upon the earth. Feeling it buck under his paws he hummed in appreciation as two young saplings burst up at his beckoning. Appraising them visually he waited for a moment, considering before bending his head and biting down on their stems, pulling his head and biting with impressive force until they snapped and tore away.
Setting them down and licking the plant juice from his fur, "Try not to move too much, Alexandre.", the Luminary growled as he picked up one of the newly grown sticks and brought it to xer broken limb, attempting to press down gently after attempting to straighten the offending leg, setting the sticks to the limb and wrapping the bandages around it, rumbling as he worked. "I do question your methods in telling us about the island. Prideful boasting?", lifting an eyebrow as he glanced to xem. He tried to ignore the haunting whispers of the voice from earlier tumbling around his head and ears, eye growing dark as his breath struggled in his lungs for the pain he was experiencing. Looking away, ears flattening slowly, "It wasn't a good move to make. I do thank you for the information though, as much as it was a boon to us, it was a curse to you and yours. I hope it's enough of a lesson.", he grumbled as he shifted through his herbs and containers, pulling them out to dress any other wounds the vampire bore. The guilt for the battle, after the bloodlust had worn off, and after the anger had simmered down, was overwhelming. He couldn't let his unfortunate captive suffer, not with good conscience.
"You're weak, Aesior. This one is a threat, and yet you feel guilt? How did something like you ever become the Grim of the new Death? You're a pitiful fool."
"Shut. Up. Call me whatever the hell you want, just leave me the fuck alone." he hissed under his breath in answer to the voice that only he alone could hear, a stinging pain in his head causing him to recoil some. Blinking profusely as his eye stung with a jabbing agony, the lion's silver iris was soon replaced by an electric light blue staring down at Alexandre. "Oh darling. Aren't you the cutest thing? I would almost feel too sad to let you go. I surely hope you didn't think that I would let you go free so easily? Sorry to dash your hopes, babe~."
