Posts: 9 12/14/08 21:44:05	Tags : None Another five coppers was handed to the young man in exchange for a fresh mug. The service wasn't as fast as it would have been if he was inside of a pub, but the man always came quickly with replacements. It was the least the man could do after Milton healed his fishing wound, as it happened he had lost his money. Milton knew he probably never had any all along. This way, Milton got his payment for his work, and the man got the change from the drinks. And Milton didn't have to worry about the lawmen, who were off guarding the wall towards town a good hundred feet away. Besides, the travel had made him dirty. Not that he cared about his appearance. They'd just do worse to him for it. After all, they grabbed the faces of all who entered as if people had to pass a visual inspection. Milton had all he needed here; alcohol, the shade of a tree, and he could take his shoes off. The comfort of it all put him to sleep.

The air got knocked out of the boy who fell. His sooty grey robes did nothing to blend into the scenery and the whole body laying there was a sore sight. The thief looked up to see the man before him, his hand scrabbling left and right to try to get his attention. Before he could make any audible noises, he passed out from the pain, just barely breathing.

At first he thought that the man had passed out beside him, but, there was no mug nor scar on his face. Groaning, Milton helped himself up with the aid of the tree, poking at the sleeping boy's side. Response or not, Milton would crouch down and check temperature, heart, and breath rate as he looked to see if there were wounds or any money to be earned from helping. From his odd dark dressing, Milton assumed he wasn't helping someone for nothing. Maybe his drinks today will have been free.

He then tried to at least roll over, to do something but leave his back in a vulnerable position, but he was stuck on his belly with a side view of nothing. "Ughhh... ow..." Liar closed his eyes. He couldn't do anything, and he either had to wait for himself to stop hurting or for this guy to help him. He tried again to reach out, but all he could get was a hand moving left and right. He was still reeling.

Though he doubted there was much he could do about that, he prodded in search of what caused the pain in the boy's sides. Pushing through the skin at the cracks in the ribs, Milton grunted as he confirmed it wasn't splintered. That was good, it meant he could work easily without having to cut the boy's side open. A simple snap was all it was. Before moving his hand, Milton laced invisible strands into the area around the wound, connecting their bodies. Taking the pain momentarily, he'd roll the boy onto his back, grunting as if his own ribs were the ones broken and being pushed around. Letting the pain return to the boy Milton waited.

He could've sworn he had something to do. Maybe not. Suddenly, he found himself on his back, the pain returned. Liar grunted when it came back full force, and he felt ridiculous for worrying about some girl at a moment like this. Worry? He wasn't worried. There was something affecting him, something wrong that was making him think odd thoughts. Regaining control, the boy opened his eyes and looked up at Milton. "Who the hell are you and what have you done to me?" the boy asked.

Posts: 9 12/14/08 22:43:17	The young man stood off to the side, Milton beckoned him forward and took the mug before shooing him off. After dipping his hands one at a time in the glass to clean them, ignoring the boy's pain. "Milton." He grinned, showing stained teeth on one side. "What have you taken?" The healer took a third of the boy's pain, only to insure the answer wasn't affected. Meanwhile he slammed the mug against the tree, picking up a larger shard. Just in case, with as weak as this boy was pain, he needed something sharper than his old knife.

Posts: 24 12/14/08 22:50:39	"Taken? Right, because I need drugs," retorted the boy sarcastically. He felt some of the pain wash away. "Why is the pain coming and going so much? Usually when I hurt it's good because it's always there, but you're kind of ruining it." The boy's mouth extended widely now with realization of what he said, and turned his head to Milton. "I'm..." he paused. "I'm Lars," he said quite truthfully. Wait, he just told the guy his real name? He hadn't told anyone that in... years. "Ugh, I really must be on something." Looking straight up he tried to make sense of it. There was none to be had. Hearing the shattering, Liar looked over at Milton. "Hey, what the hell are you doing? Save me and then get something to kill me with?" He was a little angry now, and wanted to beat the guy for it, but he decided against doing anything. The thief began to watch the man carefully and no longer wanted to trust him. He laid still on his back, but he felt like he might be capable of moving quickly if he had to.

Posts: 54 12/14/08 23:05:55	He let the boy talk, not having much to say to Lars' defense. Either way he pulled his knife out, holding it in front of the boy. "If you squirm when I fix your ribs, I'll have to go inside to fix it. But if you don't like glass, I'll use this on you." It was too bad the boy was more conscious than he first thought. If it wasn't for that, Milton could have experimented and learned more from the injury. "As for the pain," he gave it back, understanding why Lars wanted it to himself, "It's yours." He even intended to leave the ribs broken for now; not just because the boy refused to share, but Milton was interested in why this boy was reaching out at nothing moments before. After having been burned by magic and unable to heal it on himself now, there wasn't a chance he'd pass a chance to understand flesh better. Even then though, it wasn't the body affected by whatever the boy took, or were the two linked together? Grinning at that, Milton continued to link their bodies further. "When did it start?"

Posts: 24 12/14/08 23:13:16	The boy said nothing. He was just watching the healer's movements to make sure he wouldn't try anything funny. "It's yours." Liar felt the last third of the pain rush back to him in an instant. It was so satisfying and interesting to feel something like this... an instant onset of natural pain that wasn't caused by something, but it really was already there. It was euphoric. The boy's body tensed lightly. He was enjoying it, maybe a little too much, but then again he had already revealed his normally well kept secret. "Amazing," he said. "You must be a healer then. Heal me," he commanded. His large grin stared out at the healer like a lighthouse to a ship. Milton asked him a question. Liar stared straight at him, even unblinking now as he thought of the answer. "I'm not sure," he said between grins. "It was probably when I gave my sandwich to that woman, or something like that. Wait," he paused, his grin dissipating. "I was going to..." The thief caught himself, not wanting to say anything bad. "At any rate, I gave it to her," he paused again. "So, it started before that, then. Probably when I took her down from the wall," he said. Whoops, that might've been too much. He began to grin again, this time with the sheepish smile of a little kid having too much fun. Saying that wouldn't hurt him that much, he could just play himself off as the hero. Maybe.

Posts: 9 12/14/08 23:35:39	Milton grunted at the boy's words, the sound both to agree to being a healer and reaction to the demand. With Liar enjoying the wound so much however, he didn't respond right away. Besides, the pain needed to stay for now. Letting his hands air dry, he listened to the boy's story, paying close attention to how his eyes responded; looking more for reactions to the poison than for honesty. Wither it was the truth, or if it made since, there was no specific reason why he was contaminated. At least, not any normal way such as consumption. "I'll heal your ribs if you stay." Milton grinned fully. Lars' own smile made the healer like this boy. He had secrets, was affected by something unknown, and continued to smile through pain Milton normally had to take for other patients. There was nothing not to like. It almost made him not want to continue with his plan, but yet, sharing the fun could go two ways. Placing the tip of the glass shard on the backside of his forearm, Milton pressed lightly, giving the credit to the alcohol for numbing him to its tip. He grinned and pushed it in, dragging a quick slice, determined to find out which way the pain would go. He had to test if the links between them could go against the natural current.

Posts: 24 12/14/08 23:48:54	Liar watched as Milton began to work. The boy had no idea what Milton was doing, or why he seemed so interested. "Well, you know... I don't really have a choice, do I?" Liar grinned ever more at the healer, his inability to move only making him giggle lightly. After he was done the healer had placed the glass shard to his own arm, and drug it across. Liar screamed as he felt it gash across the same place on his own body, Milton likely not feeling anything. The boy, against all the pain, rolled over quickly and pushed himself up against the tree, almost falling over. "That... really hurt, you know!" His breaths were a little short, but the smile on his face was spreading again, like some kind of infectious disease. "Is this some kind of telepathic thing?" The boy then stumbled forward towards Milton, nowhere near close enough to do anything. He fell over instead, and ducked to avoid the ground from hurting him. Too bad his ribs hurt him just as much. Rolling aside he returned to his position on his back and carefully pulled his arm up to look at it. The skin wasn't cut at all, he had just felt the pain of it. Liar wasn't sure if the pain was telepathic. He had faced telepathy before, and this felt... different. It could still be the same thing, however. His experience with that type of sorcery was quite limited. The boy wanted to throw a kunai at the healer now. To get away from his experiments. He didn't want to be taken for a guinea pig, though it was rather fun... But again, there was nothing he could do. So he again laid there, his short kick of adrenaline wearing off. "Fix my ribs already," the boy requested gently, his face in full grin again and starting at Milton. "Or are you going to cut us both up a bit more?"

With as slow as Lars was, Milton rushed to heal himself before the distance was too much for the connection. He even tried to pull the boy's strength to the wound on his arm. Pinching his the slice closed, the skin sealed over the now healed tissue, a line of a scar blending in with the others. He took the boy's comment on the pain as a complement for his success. This was a great advancement in skill, though Milton didn't know yet how it'd heal anyone but him. Maybe someday he'd find out if he can transfer pain between two different people; and force the mother or spouse to take the pain of Milton's patients. Turning back to the boy and tossing the bloody glass away, Milton traced a half circle around the boy's broken ribs with his finger, "No, not telepathy. Inside you there are strings, different from the veins you see through thin skin. They're fine and hard to see. I'd show them to you, but they're nearly impossible to put back in." At that he laughed, he never found someone interested in these things before. "They go everywhere, but mainly up your torso to your head." Proving his point, he put his hand on the boy's shoulder, temporarily numbing the arm. He dragged his hand downward, slowly letting the boy feel his elbow, then finally his hand and fingers before breaking the tie. As he talked he moved the broken ribs into place, "All I do is connect the strings in your body to my own with an invisible one; like stitching two cloths together. From there I can direct the sensations." The separate bones grew towards their matching pieces and slowly linked, Milton going quiet for the more complicated part of work. If the boy flinched, he'd take all the pain, not needed to cause any more harm for now. But he trusted he didn't need to do that

Posts: 24 12/15/08 00:35:54	As Milton worked, Liar felt the pain ebb away. His ribs only hurt because they were bruised from having been broken. Since they began to reconnect and fix themselves, they were no longer broken and therefore he didn't feel as much pain in himself. It was a little disappointing, but he did need to get fixed up, so he was fine with it. However, he thought the pain would at least stay for a bit. "It's... interesting," he commented. "I'm sure you've found ways to have fun with this." The man must have been something like Liar. Milton's smile could not be caused by being a generally happy person. At the thought of this, Liar grinned very much. "I like you," he said plainly. "So with power like this, why are you somewhere so random as here?" The boy wondered to himself why he was there as well. He didn't remember the events that had brought him here too well. He remembered the tunnel he escaped from every now and then, but it never brought him somewhere like here. Or maybe it changed? He didn't know. His mind was racing in circles again. It was safe to say whatever he was on was gone. Or maybe it wasn't, and he was simply no longer under control of what was messing with him. Arrgh, all this thinking is going nowhere. Wait. Am I talking in first person? I always think in third person. Hmm, I kind of like it. Haha, egotism. Liar looked a little blankly at Milton. He was having a bit too much fun internally and lay calmly as Milton worked. He was getting bored with the whole situation, just like he was before Zeric got his claws on the boy.

Posts: 9 12/15/08 01:00:03	Oh yes, he had fun with it many times. There was never a problem in finding something to do with his powers. He'd even gone as far as to link to a bar-woman while other patrons slapped her behind, leaving them to wonder while their rude action didn't gather her attention. His large grin told of just how much fun it was to feel it. "Because no one approves I extract payment from my patients elsewhere." Even if it was money, all healers were expected to work for charity, which not even most churchmen did. So, Milton had to find a land that allowed him to earn his own living. "That, and with Blythe disappearing, I don't have to follow that ugly woman around anymore. Debt paid, it seams." That Lars didn't know who Blythe or the woman was, or why he had a debt wasn't needed in his answer. Milton didn't care about why the boy was here. It was obvious from the dressings that he didn't live nearby, which meant this might not be the place for him either, but origin didn't change anything, so knowing it was unimportant. Besides, it wasn't often someone talked to him. "You did well." He meant in taking the healing.

Posts: 24 12/15/08 01:08:22	No one paid him? Liar laughed at hearing this. "And people call ME a thief. They expect you to heal for free?" He laughed again, grinning once he was done. Looking at Milton, he collected himself for the next question, his ever-present grin burning itself into the healer. "So, what do you expect from me? Or did you already take it with your little experiment?" The thief really wondered. He was still at the mercy of the healer, and didn't want to go against him... he was wielding some wicked crazy voodoo. Liar found himself wondering about the woman. She wasn't really that ugly. It seemed kind of sad that she was kept in such a bad condition... her plant was a really interesting thing. "We seem to be in similar situations. I recently came into possession of a woman, and in the same time it took me to get her she was gone. I don't really know what happen; she was the reason I started hallucinating in the first place, I think." He paused, and honestly wondered if he should say anything about the plant. It didn't really matter, so he didn't bother continuing. Milton's compliment went unanswered. Liar was busy fiddling with all of his thoughts in his head yet again, obsessing over whatever he was thinking about. Currently, the woman.

Posts: 9 12/15/08 01:26:08	Milton enjoyed a heartfull laugh at the boy's joke. It wasn't often he laughed with such strength, usually it'd get him kicked out of the pub for laughing when no one else did. But it was impossible not to laugh along with this boy. "Yes, everyone steals from the healers." But there were other ways to make them pay, of course. For a thief, Lars was well dressed, and had taken women down from walls. He wasn't curious how that worked out, but it warned him that there was a lot more to this lad's life than getting infected and falling out of trees. Listening to Lars tell about possessing a woman raised his larger eyebrow. As interesting as it was, Milton didn't care. There was one other thing he'd like to learn about as payment, however, if it wasn't a secret too. "Can you tell me more of your symptoms and how she gave you the hallucinations? Did she cut you at all?"

Posts: 24 12/15/08 01:31:13	Hrm. He was asking more questions about her. No problem, he didn't mind telling. "Well... no. I'm pretty sure she didn't touch me. In fact, I wasn't the one who brought her off the wall. My teacher did. As for giving me hallucinations, I don't know any way of how she could have, unless that plant of hers could have put something in the air that made me go bonkers." He relaxed a bit and wondered more about it. That seemed the only viable solution to this complex problem of his. "Basically, I felt the need to protect her. I didn't really care to; I just going to let her go to make my teacher angry. But, he gave her to me to take care of, and next thing I know, I'm giving her my sandwich, showing her how to escape and then getting fixed up by you." Wow, it'd been a long time since he'd lied. Perhaps the hallucinogens were still affecting him?

Posts: 9 12/15/08 01:44:55	Listening fully, Milton knew right away who he was talking about. There was only one woman who made others around her protect her; even the most evil, such as vampires. The plant verified it all. To think that, he had asked someone like her for blood once, and she could mess with the mind to that extent. Hurting his body was one thing, but the mind was his, and there was no way to heal damage there. Nodding at all the information, Milton asked no more questions. He knew all he needed about what poisoned Liar, but he never wanted to obtain more information on the ugly woman. That she was alive might start old things again, and as fun as they were, being driven around by a one-minded child got boring fast. So he most likely wouldn't forward the new information on her. He past off his chance to speak by putting his knife back into his robes.

Posts: 24 12/15/08 18:08:18	Liar coughed, a little bit of blood finding its way into his spit. He turned to the side and spit it out, a trickle of red dribbling down afterward. The thief pulled his arm up and wiped it away, replacing the arm back too his side. The pain wasn't very bad anymore. In fact, he could probably move around now. The thief sat up and looked around at everything around him to stretch his neck. He really didn't see anything interesting, but he felt pretty good, even considering the lingering pain. So, Liar got up and dusted himself off. "Is that it, then?" he asked, his flamboyantly boyish voice returning to him. It was as defiant as ever. "Silence is golden, eh?" He chuckled to himself and readjusted his robe. It was still as comfortable as ever. He checked his baldric and sash for all of his kunai, and all 24 were still in their spots. That was a good thing, since that meant Milton didn't know he was armed. "So. What now?"

Posts: 9 12/16/08 04:23:00	The boy's thoughtless rub to remove the blood made Milton smile. Too many others would have used a hanky in attempt to keep it from getting on their fine clothes, or even stay on their body. For him the replaceable patch of cloth on his robes was perfect; it kept your hands clean and let all the different patients collect on one spot. Even now his hands rubbed onto the patch automatically, though the only blood was his own. The cough itself wasn't something to worry for. If it was something serious that Lars wanted help with, then he would have asked. The demand was only to heal his ribs, and that was taken care of. Milton laughed, "Only if it's actually quiet." The next question made him glance to the broken mug, "Nothing."
