📜 for Thancred & Ryne!!

The prompt: Thancred, tending to Ryne's wounds: How would you rate your pain? Ryne: Zero stars. Would NOT recommend.

[oathofpromises]

Ryne released a heavy sigh, surrendering to the inevitable as she accepted being transported towards the area that would serve as their temporary base. She observed the gunbreaker, his gaze fixated on the very branch that had caused her stumble, envisioning it as the inaugural addition to their campfire. A laugh emitted from the red hair lips. If looks could kill that twig would be destroyed into tiny little pieces. Thancred possessed a profound sense of protectiveness, a natural inclination to shield and safeguard. He had always been so nice to Ryne, even treating her like a daughter. Which was a huge part of the reason she decided to take on his last name. A way to always have Thancred, her father, with her no matter where they were.

"The pain is not too severe, probably just a minor sprain. After a brief rest, I should be able to resume our mission. I apologize for once again imposing upon you with all this. I know how worried you are about the others especially after the fight with Hades."

Ryne couldn't deny that she was also worried, especially about Stella. The Au Ra had absorbed an immense amount of light, to the extent that it nearly engulfed her very soul. Even the teenage girl could tell how concerned Thancred was too for the Warrior of Light, despite the fact he didn't let it show on the surface.

"Do you seriously think Stella is alright? I noticed how eager you were to make sure she was okay before we took off. How's the healing process going for your own wounds? I know you took a few blows during that fight"

Ryne was primarily concerned about Thancred. The longer the Scions stayed here, the more it would harm their bodies. Although it didn't appear that they were in a major hurry, the teenage girl couldn't help but notice how slow Thancred was becoming. The other day, she almost caught him falling over, but as usual, he acted like it was nothing to worry about. Ryne never forgot the fight Thancred put up to exclude her from the action. She reasoned at the time that it was because he didn't trust her or even actively disliked her presence. An naive part of Ryne didn't want to think about how she'd been convinced that this one man loathed her with every fiber of his being.

The girl winced when she examined her ankle and realized it was swollen. As she endeavored to speed up the healing process, a green aura surrounded her hand. This entire trip was her idea, and she was just getting started by being hurt again. Ryne wondered if the Warrior of Darkness had ever experienced anything like this.

'No wonder the people avoid coming here.'

Thancred couldn't help the amused huff that escaped him at her words, a hand coming to rest atop her shoulder as they traversed the empty expanse beyond the wall. No, he didn't imagine people wanted to venture beyond the looming frozen tidal wave of pure light, where nothing but WHITE met the gaze as far as the eye could see. Still, after the discovery of Eden, Ryne truly felt there was a chance to heal the Empty and bring LIFE back to the land.

Guiding her so as to keep in step with himself, the Hyur glanced up at the sky, noting how low the sun was beginning get. She was right, it would be time to set up camp so as to wind down comfortably and not trip--

Ah... well, perhaps his thoughts brought this little mishap to fruition?

"Oh dear-- Here, arms around my neck. Quick, now." He ushered the girl SWIFTLY into his arms, lifting her effortlessly so as to not irritate her ankle any further. "Are you alright?" There came that familiar expression of concern, eyes searching her visage first before trailing over to the twisted appendage. With the dying light, it was hard to ascertain the extent of the damage done.

A FIRE-- He would need to build a fire first and get her seated comfortably.

"Rest here, for a moment. I'll make us a fire and properly assess the damage shortly. Does it hurt...?" Came the inquire as he set her around the remnants of their prior night's camp... though, not before readjusting his coat around her shoulders to ensure she was properly covered and SUFFICIENTLY warmed in the meantime.

The FIRST victim for their fire would be that offending piece of wood to have tripped her in the first place.

[ GIVE ]  for the taller muse to place their jacket around the shorter muse’s shoulders,  the garment essentially ‘swallowing them whole.’ 🌸｡*ﾟ+. From Thancred, for Ryne ♡

When Thancred and Ryne decided to break off from the group for a bit to investigate into the Empty. The red head had figured it would be in ruins, but never pictured it was this freezing. Teeth chattering, the oracle tried her best to not show how cold her body was. It made her sigh at not having anything extra to wear over her white dress. At the mere thought of her attire, Ryne recalled her time at Eulmore. They only provided the bare minimum. Not that most would guess that simply off appearances. She could remember there were days she would be barely feed anything at all. Even when she was offered food, the girl would refuse to eat. It wasn't that she was ungrateful, merely cautious. They merely wanted Ryne close, too afraid someone might use the oracle powers to put an end to the sin eaters.

The red haired girl's thoughts were disrupted when she felt someone place a jacket around her shoulders. Right away, she could tell it was Thancred's white jacket. So, he had taken note of her change in behavior since they arrived here. Ryne was sighing at how obvious she had been, not wanting to bother him, yet he already had seen right through her. The young girl was pretty easy to read, not like she had the best experiences in the past.

"Thank you Thancred..I'm sorry to trouble you."

This whole thing was her idea, there was something pulling the girl here, and she wanted to know what. Thancred, was kind enough to accompany her here yet maybe she did pull them into even more trouble. Not that they weren't used to that by now. It was certainly a large undertaking, one they would probably require the Warrior of Light's help on too.

Gripping the jacket hanging on her shoulders, the girl decided it was best not to refuse her father's offer of a jacket. He would only worry more, and that was the last thing the oracle wanted. After zipping it up, the white gunbreaker coat looked way too big on Ryne. It stopped just under her kneecaps, if she was any shorter the ends of the jacket would most likely drag along the snow.

"I never imagined this place would be so...cold. It's almost like a wasteland...no wonder the people avoid coming here."

But if there's a chance they could change the fate of this land, Ryne wanted to try. She had felt too helpless during their battle with Hades. Too many times, everyone else had stepped in to save her. It was the girl's turn to save this land.

"Dad, do you think it's silly to come here? I know we should be helping the others after everything but...I just know in my heart that restoring aether here will help the people of the first. Maybe one day allow them to live here again..."

It was after saving the Exarch, that Ryne decided to take on the name Waters. She had asked Thancred if he would officially adopt her, and of course he playfully teased Ryne about how the young girl was already much like his own child. It didn't escape her notice at how a light seemed to return to his eyes. The other had been through so much, and she hoped one day he would share more of his story with her.

"It's getting late, though, perhaps we should set up camp for the night?"

At least, that is what she had figured Thancred was going to suggest, given how dark it was. Something this land hadn't seen until the Warrior of Darkness and the Scions managed to defeat every single light warden. In the middle of talking Ryne winced, as she felt her ankle trip over a stray log hidden underneath the snow. Leave it to her to end up spraining her leg just as they were planning to settle down for the night.
