” feel like it might be a bit late for that. i don’t think i’m goin’ anywhere right now regardless. “

even with the metal piece removed from her leg she wouldn’t be able to move at her normal speed- she was a liability now, dead weight that would only slow him down. even as obvious as that was to her though she knew it wouldn’t get through to him ; he had a terrible habit of not seeing situations for what they really were, of refusing to take the most logical course of action. in this scenario that would be him going on ahead alone without her dragging him down, at least then the mission could more than likely be completed. that was what really mattered at the end of the day.

” you already know what i’m gonna say. you need to go on ahead without me slowin’ you down. we can meet back up after you get it done, at the halfway point between here and where we camped out last night. “

          Well, for once he agreed with her point of view on her status, at least the first part. The injured leg had been cleaned to the best of Adam’s ability with what he had at hand, which wasn’t much unfortunately. It wasn’t pretty, and it was only a matter of time before her leg became inflamed. He knew he had to get her some real treatment soon, otherwise it could end up even worse for her than before.

          ‘She said to leave her here.’

          ‘We’re NOT leaving her, Adam!’

          ‘She did say we can meet back up with her.’

          ‘And if something happens, would she be able to defend herself?’

          ‘Kahili will be fine, damn it!’

          The internal dialogue in his head was taking far too long for his comfort. He could only picture what his eyes looked like right now, grateful for the mask that concealed the ever shifting colors. 

          Adam was still quiet as he scanned Kahili’s leg, and then lifted his head to scan her facial features. Why was she always so stubborn in situations like this?

          ❝ ......You’re light enough for me to carry. At LEAST let me find you a safer place to hide while I go finish the rest, hm? ❞

” some asshole, i wasn’t too focused on gettin’ his name or nothin’. dude was drunk and not takin’ no for an answer so i had to persuade him to back the fuck off. “

not that she had escaped unscathed, obviously. the sucker punch to her left eye was arguably what hurt the most, but kahili could take it. if there was one thing life had taught her it was that she could take a punch. bull’s concern was waved off as she peeled her jacket from her form, hissing slightly- okay, maybe the hits to her ribs hurt more than the eye.

” don’t worry about it, come tomorrow i’ll probably be good as new. “

—- [ ☣ ]

        ❝ Rrrrghhh,,,,, So some unknown asshole did this....? ❞

        What had always angered the bull was how Kahili always seemed to minimize it. He was scanning her features, trying to see if there were any OTHER injuries she might ‘shrug off’. Thankfully, there wasn’t anything else of note, or at least he thought so until she removed her jacket.

        ❝ Let me help you, Kahili. And that’s not a request. ❞ Adam took the article of clothing from her, trying to see where else she had gotten hurt. How she always managed to attract trouble? He couldn’t understand it. It wasn’t fair to her.  ❝ Perhaps you can describe what he looks like.  ❞

@rougetxurexu / plotted!! / first encounter.

the white fang, an organization that brought together faunus of every age, but with varying degrees of loyalty. ruby knew of them, having heard of them from her fellow members, and witnessed a few working together with her mistress. however, the faunus that follow her mistress seemed disinterested, almost indifferent, about the need for equal rights between humans and faunus. youta, a crane faunus didn’t seem bothered, and tyrian, a scorpion faunus, well, she wasn’t going to touch that subject of conversation. she just didn’t think there would be any need to interact with them - they had their own agenda and it didn’t coincide with what they wanted, what salem desired.

but when cinder brought up using them, ruby went along for the ride; she was back up, after all, and as back up she tagged along in case it got messy. youta went with her, acting like a bodyguard of sorts but also, well, it made sense for him to come and try to smooth over any conflict. unfortunately, neither of them were able to do that as cinder used her logic, her ideologies clashing with the acting superior - a tall man of red hair and an ivory mask - and practically promising harm to his people. 

wrong move.

as cinder’s group fell back, following her, ruby stepped aside and made a notion for her companion to stay back. she needed to face this alone and with a deep breath, she entered white fang camp and cleared her throat to signal her entry,

“adam taurus,” she beckoned, back straight and expressing the need for confrontation. “can you spare a minute to re-negotiate?” 

—- [ ☣ ]

          ❝ Oh, another little human, hm? ❞

          Cinder wasn’t going to give up, was she? Why were they so persistent? This time, he had to admit, it was interesting that she was coming forth alone while everyone else seemed to stand back. Motioning to the other members of the White Fang standing nearby to be careful, to be ready, he scanned the features of the silver eyed girl, as if trying to see right through her and her intentions.

          ‘I wonder if she knows about her silver eyes.....’

                    ‘I wouldn’t chance it. We’re going to be careful. Even if she IS like us....’

          He knew they were rare beings, and admittedly, curiosity was compelling him to inquire about her. He knew that would be a foolish action, however. She might not even know how to CONTROL her own strength, and that in itself was something to be weary of, even if he could confidently take her on. Right now, he was keeping his hands on Wilt and Blush, lest she try ANYTHING out of the ordinary. Adam was ready.

          ❝ And what exactly do YOU want, hm? Aren’t you Ruby Rose....? The scythe wielder....? ❞ The redhead questioned, his comments scathing and cold,  ❝ If Cinder wasn’t able to convince me, what makes you think YOU’D be able to talk me down? ❞

❝ I can take care of myself. Worry about your own self, Blake. ❞ Shoving out of her grasp, the masked faunus grimaces, glancing down at his injury. It didn’t look too great but... It wasn’t fatal. He’d live either way.

life had taught her early on that she could take more than her fair share of punches and keep going. she was good at pushing through pain, at making herself go until she was physically incapable of it anymore ; it’d saved her ass more than once over the years. yet it also meant that her wounds were among the last to be learned about by those around her, her focus always more on being certain that those she was with were able to be patched up and okay rather than herself. some might have thought it made her seem selfless ; really it had more to do with how little value she placed in her continued existence.

jacket was carefully slid off leader’s shoulders and put aside for the time being, hem of his shirt lifted so that she could better inspect the wound. it would likely need stitches once they made it back to camp and it could be properly treated ; for the time being the best she could do was retrieve a pack from where she’d stashed it earlier ( making this a fall back point had been a good idea after all it seemed ) and proceed to dig out some bandages, gauze, some rubbing alcohol and cotton swabs. dampening the swabs she looked up at the bull, raising a brow.

” ‘s gonna sting- brace yourself. “

she waited for some kind of signal that he was ready before carefully starting to clean the wound and the area around it, tossing bloodied swabs aside to the ground when she was done with them. by the time she’d finished she had a nice little pile starting to form, gauze carefully pressed over the wound as she began wrapping his abdomen with the bandages.

” ‘m fine, i’ll deal with my injuries when we get back to camp. none of ‘em are too bad. “

liar that she was, even she knew she was downplaying the extent of the cut across her back. she could note its severity by the way her hands trembled and how clammy her skin felt- as long as she could make it back to camp though, it was fine. she just had to push through a little bit longer.

—- [ ☣ ]

          Oh, that was Kahili of course. Adam shouldn’t even be surprised at this point that she’d forgo her own wounds to take care of his. Adam opened his mouth to say something, but then closed it when he saw her already getting the supplies for tending to his wounds. He’d get back with her on that later.

          ❝ Okay. ❞

          Adam had always had a high pain tolerance, but he knew, that no matter what, this was going to fucking hurt.

          He nods at the girl, mentally prepares himself, and takes a deep breath to brace himself for that inevitable burning sensation that would ravage his raw flesh, hopefully kill off any risk of infection. No such luck though, right? Right before she poured the antiseptic, Adam’s eyes darted to the side, and he quickly snatched up his jacket and stuffed the fabric in his mouth. Couldn’t take any chance of some damn human hearing them.

          ❝ !!!-- MMRF! ❞ Adam tossed his head back at the instant shock and bit down on the jacket; he could’ve sworn it felt like his skin was on fire! He knew it would hurt but FUCK. The initial pain died down after a few moments, but it still lingering as a throbbing burn that radiated from his abdomen to the rest of his body. He looked down, impressed with how quickly and efficiently Kahili seemed to patch him up, but still grimacing at the entire debacle.

          Just, how could he even have let this happened to either of them? Adam was still disgusted with himself for letting it even happen.

          ❝ No. ❞ Adam insisted when he felt he had recovered enough, picking up some of the gauze and antiseptic.  ❝ This is my responsibility. Let me take care of you, okay? ❞

"You are an idiot," The serpent scolds, soaked to the very bone as arms are coiled beneath the bull's own, his body dragged like a rag-doll through the shallows. "Bested again by a -kitten- and her rat." Dojan spits now, forceful when tugging Adam's body upon the river's bank and carelessly dropping the Faunus onto his back. Though, a silent peer follows, noting Adam's features uncovered; and that alone causes a snort to flare nostrils under his own masked face. "I know you have not died yet."

@soularena​

Good thing Adam was barely conscious and couldn’t quite hear what Dojan was saying, because if he could, the snake would not be allowed to hear the end of it. Heck, Adam would likely address it later. He was not one to tolerate it, even if he DID save his life.

But at the current moment, Adam’s just glad to be alive.

The strike from Blake’s weapon had caught Adam off guard in the worst way possible, and everything that happened after that had seemed to be a blur. He remembers collapsing into the river, and washing away for a bit before he felt strong hands yank him out of the water. All he could do was just lay there, noting the throbbing pain in his lower abdomen. He wasn’t dead yet, so... She had likely missed vital organs.

Damn.

          The monkey Faunus was, more or less, standing at attention while he awaited his orders. Leaned against the wall, arms crossed and tail swishing in boredom. Another reconnaissance mission, most likely…very monotonous jobs that relied on his uncanny ability to come off as cheery and innocent. He was only seconds away from rolling his eyes but his attention was captured by the request. Oh? So his potential was being recognized?

          “About fucking time,” he grumbled, but he pushed off from the wall, fingers intertwining to twist  and push out in front of him, cracking the joints. Deft hands, skilled and willing to do dirty work, had grown rusty from lack of use and he looked forward to breaking the long hiatus.

          “How many? And how…severe of a lesson are we talkin’ here?”

—- [ ☣ ]

It really did seem like the monkey faunus was proving himself. Adam had seen his extremely convincing facade before, almost inclined to believe it himself if he didn’t know the full truth of it all. Sun had also shown time and time again how loyal, and how efficient he was. It was time to test his limits, to see just how far he was willing to go on his own for the Cause.

At his response, Adam just gives an amused scoff, and then a knowing smirk. Perhaps he WAS truly ready....

❝ Use your own judgment, Sun. ❞ The bull replies, knowing that Sun would be completely aware of the implications of the words.  ❝ I’ll give you full freedom over this mission, as long as you come back with proof that they, and other humans, ‘have learned their lesson’, so to speak.❞

it was hardly their most dignified of retreats ; in truth kahili probably wouldn’t have left had adam not taken a few hits of his own. leaning down she took a brief look at the wound- she could probably bandage it up well enough until they made it back to their main camp. her own cuts and wounds were rather minor in her own opinion, nothing that her aura wouldn’t be able to heal once it actually regenerated. worst of her wounds was probably the cut she’d taken across her back- she could still feel the blood on her skin, the sting of each movement. but she’d survived worse.

“ c’mon, lemme help you get your jacket off so we can see how bad it really is an’ i can get it patched up well enough ‘til we make it back. “

—- [ ☣ ]

Admittedly, the bull felt MORE than pathetic for retreating. He shouldn’t even be hurt! He was Adam Taurus, a trained warrior from birth, with an immensely strong aura. Even if it was a last resort, there was always that nagging feeling in the back of his skull trying to convince him that he could’ve done something more, and not be a pitiful coward for running away. That alone hurt more than his injuries.

But, he was also feeling immensely dizzy right now. Damn. Looks like he was losing blood. Not enough to be fatal, but enough to make the world seem blurry around him.

❝ Okay... Be careful... ❞ The bovine faunus responds with a grimace as he begins to adjust his arm to try and painlessly as possible remove the jacket.

❝ What about you, Kahili....? ❞ He questions, trying to peer over her shoulder. He had seen her sustain some injuries herself, and yet she was more focused on him it seemed. ❝ Make sure you’re okay as well... ❞

every inch of her hurt in a deep throbbing kind of way, as if her bones themselves were as bruised as her skin. it was entirely possible they were- getting thrown like a rag doll into the side of a large metal shipping container could probably bruise bones. the caracal didn’t bother attempting to sit up, barely having the energy to keep her eyes open.

       The snake always had something to say, something to taunt the bull with. It never intimidated the redhead. Instead, he always just smirked in reply, sometimes saying how much he would look forward to it, sometimes saying that he’d like to even see Dojan TRY. Their relationship, whatever it was? Adam didn’t really care. He didn’t want to put a label on it. All he knew was that it was fun being with Dojan.

       And right now, it was one of those particular moments where he was in a teasing mood. He bared his teeth in a large grin, shaking his head in mocking disbelief. ❝ Somehow, I’m more convinced that you’ll be leaving bite marks... Not just simple little hickeys. ❞
