OOC Doubt Amelia/Yarrick will leave by today, though it really is up to BC. You'll have your chance yet Jhe

*Cal fills a cup with water and hands it to Roland*
Cal: You need to stay down, you're in the same condition I'd expect to find someone after they'd been trampled, 'cept you've got more stab wounds than normal there.

*Still searching the forest for ingredients*

*Trying to avoid awkward conversation topics*

*Scatach drops from a tree right next to Jordan holding various horns*

Scatach: Any of these what we're looking for?

*Right arm tries to take glass of water and utterly fails.*

To Cal:Damn.. get me up..

*Uses left arm to pull knife from chest, a mixture of blood and tar fountains out.*

*I become incredibly pale, eyes start to glaze over*

To Cal: Think I made it worse...

Cal: No gak you made it worse! *Puts a wad of napkins on the wound staunching the blood*

Uhh... *Picks away most of the horns* No, no, no, no, this isn't even a horn, no, no, no, no...Yes! Thank you! Now we just have to find the bud!

*Goes back to searching*

Scatach: Now I know... OOC AND KNOWING IS HALF THE BATTLE!!!

To Cal: I cry your pardon... wasn't thinking..

*Turns and vomits to the right missing Cal*

*Pulls from bag duct tape and does a horrible job of dressing the wounds*

OOC:GI JOOOOOOEEEE!

OOC Mate, I swear to fething God...Say that one more time...

Bic Yup...

*Keeps on looking*

[Nods and emerges from shower room with kit bag]
Already asked a porter to bring the cuddly tank. [Laughs]

[Takes Amelia's hand] Thank you for being here.

*Cal knocks away Roland's hands*
Cal: Knock it off and let me. *Begins binding wounds*

Amee: Anytime, babe. Plus, you know, I got my fun out of it... *Gestures to the pile of bed sheets and blankets thrown everywhere* That was really good, by the way. Definitely woke me up.

*Leans in and rests head on Yarricks shoulder*

To Cal: Just.. tryin.. to help...

*Remains silent as Cal works*

*leans against a wall and starts quietly humming to himself*

*Wade is playing a game of poker with a group of pirates in the bar*

Cal: You're just making it worse, this is the kind of thing you need to leave to professionals like myself or Marla

OOc: be back in a hour or so

[Smiles] I didn't just mean that. You've kept me calm, you've looked after me, and let me spend time with you. Thank you. [Kisses her cheek]
C'mon then, let's get home for a bit at least. [Steps out of room and checks out] [Ignores stares]

[Throws bags, stuffed tank and spare clothes into shuttle] [Carefully leads Amelia aboard] [Tucks a catalogue in her waistband and laughs]

So you're thanking me for all the things a wife should do? I did it all because I love you, and we're getting married. And I would do it all again.

*Looks at the catalogue*

*Turns over to a folded page*

A jacuzzi? Why would you want a ja- Oh my god. That is not a jacuzzi...

You're not obligated to do anything. [Hugs Amelia as the shuttle starts up] I'm grateful that you do, okay? [Laughs]

*Hugs back*

Don't ever go believing that I wouldn't do it. I know you're grateful too, you show it to me in more ways than one could imagine...Oh, and when is the wedding going to happen? I assume not now, because we're both dirty, and because we're due for deployment in less than 48 hours. So after we come back?

*Smiles and kisses Yarricks cheek*

Whenever we decide to do it, I'm looking forward to it.

*OT gets a notification on his phone and walks out of the room towards the landing pad*

I think you deserve for it not to be a rushed thing, and the sisters and Benny will want to have a hand in planning. [Leans back in seat] I thought you went off the idea? I'm glad you feel happier.

I'm a lot happier now. I was...Not myself...When I finally got back. I'm sorry, I never wanted to push you away...But I did. It's good to be back to my old self again.

*Wipes face off with towel*

To Cal: Think I am good.. Going to stand now... help me up

*Grits teeth and begins to stand.*

*Cal helps Roland up*
Cal: You need to rest! Not doing, whatever you think you need to do!

I'm just happy you're more comfortable. I wasn't hurt that you wanted space, I was worried by how much you were hurting.
[Slows and begins to land] Ready to re-enter the most chaotic place in existence? [Rests head on Amelia's shoulder]

It was a lot to handle...And I still haven't forgiven myself for forgetting you...I'm just happy you still want to be with me, after all the grief I've given you.

*Remembers*

I'm still not wearing anything except underwear...Think I should maybe put something else on?

*Ot stands back and watches the shuttle descend*

To Cal: I can manage.. thankee Cal.. long days and pleasant nights to you.

*Begins to walk outside, Stops and vomits up some more tar.*

*Sighs* Wish I had cigarette..

[Laughs] Underwear and a Chaos headband. It may be an idea.

[Engine slows and shuttle lands gently]

[Benny is stood on the landing pad with Kimmy and a "Welcome Home" banner made out of a sheet and glitter paint]
