[font=trebuchet ms]Rin had been completely and utterly absorbed in her books that afternoon.
In this case, her reading hadn’t been just for leisure; she had been poring over medical texts, stuffing her head full of as much information as she could comprehend. If she was to be a full-time medic from here on out, she had to have the knowledge of one, which meant she had to learn fast. There had already been a vampire bite and multiple injured joiners so far- who knew when someone else might incur a grievous injury?
Eventually, however, the information grew to be too much, and she had to set the book down and walk out of her room. Some fresh air would help with her concentration, she thought. As she left the observatory, she noted with some displeasure the scent of burning flesh- wait, burning flesh? There were only a few reasons she could think of for flesh to be burning, and none of them were good. Setting her jaw, she headed toward the source of the stench, internally preparing herself to deal with third- or fourth-degree burns. Hopefully it wouldn’t be that serious, but it was best to be ready.
Arriving on the shore, Rin prepared to ask Roy and Luna what was going on.
The words died in her throat as she saw the scorched mass of flesh where Roy’s leg once was, and the fallen appendage stuck under the boulder.
”...What?” she half-shouted, her brain overclocking itself in a rush of questions and regrets. How and why had she not known about this? Moreover, why had nobody told her? Had anybody, besides Luna as of just now, even been there to see this? How long had he been out here?
Stumbling over, she stifled a fit of panicked, horrified laughter at the sight of Roy’s missing leg. ”Ah... ah, cripes, what even,” she mumbled, shaking her head. ”Okay, how to deal with someone’s cauterized wounds... where do you even find that in a medical text?”
No, she needed to focus. Clearing her throat, she said more calmly, ”Lie down. You’ve lost a lot of blood and if you’re going to pass out, I’d rather you not fall too far.” Next was... probably just to clean the area, and then treat it like a normal burn wound? Radeken would probably correct her once she came over. With a sigh, Rin said to Luna, ”Can you bring some moss or something to hold water? I need to wash this wound.”
