RP:The Diseased Halfling

Part of the Rounding up the diseased individuals Arc

Part II (Myrall and Hikaru)

Balcony As you look around, you are standing on a balcony overlooking the mountains. The balcony is comfortably large, allowing space for quite a few people to come and enjoy the view. A single wooden chair sits right next to the banister, and begs to be sat in, asking to relax and take in the view from its resting place. You are only around ten feet from the mountain directly below you, and it seems as if it was pure snow, although none of the cold can be felt here. Magic must be at work here, because the snow is so deep you see no forms of rocks or anything sticking out of the snow anywhere. There are doors to the east and to the west, as well as a stairway leading down. Taking a deep breath of the fresh air helps you to decide on what to do. A diseased halfling with red blisters is here.

Myrall carefully approaches the diseased halfling, a slight jerk of her head indicating to Hiakru that she is to try and creep round behind him.

Hikaru follows Myrall as they look for diseased people of the lands. As Myrall suddenly stops the half elf vampiress blinks and looks in front of them only to see a child, or what Hikaru believed to be a child when in fact it was a halfling. Never having seen one before she looks over to Myrall and whispers silently, "T-that child seems to have the dreaded disease, M'lady..." As Myrall creeps forward Hikaru slowly moves behind him in effort to help the dwarfess catch him in case he decides to make a run for it.

Myrall keeps her voice as soft and soothing as she can as she nears the creature "It's all right friend, we wish you no harm. We are only trying to help you. “As she takes a step closer, the halfling takes another step back towards the waiting Hikaru.

Hikaru furrows her eyebrows and isn't exactly sure of what she should do. As the halfling nears her she opens up her arms and slowly closes them around the poor creature, hoping to settle the halfling down she hushes, "T-there, there... W-we only wish to help you..."

Myrall gives a small encouraging nod of the head to Hikaru, she would smile but realises that beneath the scarf the other woman would not see it. As she closes into a position near enough to the halfling, she suddenly reaches out and grasps the creatures arm in her vice like grip. Panicked by the priest’s sudden movement the halfling tries to jerk away from her, crashing backwards into Hikaru. "Stay yourself friend, we only wish to help you." looking over his shoulder she apologises to Hikaru. "Sorry about that, I didn't want to risk him making a bolt for it."

Hikaru’s eyes widen as Myrall grasps the halfling so harshly only to cry out in pain as the halfling kicks her in response to being grasped like that, releasing him she backs away and rubs her leg, hot tears treating to escape her eyes, "Ouch!" Shaking her head she restrains herself to yell at the poor creature and looks over to Myrall, "N-now what..?" She moves forward and grasps his other arm firmly, making the halfling spasm and kick wildly around himself once more.

Myrall gives a nod of approval as Hikaru grasps his other arm "Now we either gentle lead him, or frog march him to the CDC, depending on how co-operative he feels." she gives the man's arm a gentle tug towards the stairway "Please sir, twill be so much easier if you come with us willingly, I swear to you we wish only to help. There are people, good people with the means to cure you of what ails you. Is that not so Hikaru?"

Hikaru nods and slowly start to move as well, pulling the halfling's arm gently, "L-lady Myrall is right... W-we only wish to help you... I-I have also had this illness you suffer from, friend... A-and this very nice Lady by your side helped me get well and cured me... D-do you not wish for that as well...? I-it will only get worse otherwise with terrible rashes and open soars..." Hikaru cringes and shudders as she thinks of it.

Myrall starts to manoeuvre the now somewhat calmer halfling towards the exit "My friend here speaks the truth, tis not a nice future you have in store if you do not allow us to aid you."

(In the Lobby of the CDC.)

Myrall and Hikaru lead the now quite placid halfling into the friendly looking lobby of the CDC. Letting go of his arm for a moment, she takes a couple of paces forward, and cough to attract the receptionist’s attention. Her voice still muffled by the scarf. "I believe this gentleman could benefit from the services of this facility madam." she motions for Hikaru to bring him forward.

Hikaru holds the halfling firmly as Myrall releases him though he has stopped to make any fuss about being here. As Myrall gives her the sign she moves forward with the poor creature and stands next to Myrall.

Myrall pulls down her scarf slightly and gives the receptionist a small smile "I am afraid we do not have a name for him, he is just some poor unfortunate we found wandering around the frozen refuge. I trust you will take good care of him." as the receptionist call for what seems to be a nurse to take the halfling through, the priestess turns to Hikaru and gives a small sigh of relief. "That is one less for us to worry about. Thank you for all of your help."
