Trevan was leaving the Hard Rock Cafe from getting something to eat for lunch and was getting ready to head back to his place to check on his email and see what kind of jobs he can find.p]

Laeren'ithe was grateful that her partner had agreed to cover her patients for the rest of the day... Just one more glare of disgust from the very people that she spent hour after hour and day after day making sure that any illness they came down with lasted as short a timee as possible, the very people whose broken bones she set and whose torn wings she bandaged and mended, and she thought she'd go absolutely apenuts...
She didn't really see Trev as she trudged towards the Hard Rock cafe, wings wrapped tightly around her shoulders so it looked more like an irridescent wrap than anything else.... She'd noticed that she drew a little less attention to herself that way even if it did make her wings sore after a while....

Trevan knew the way back to his apartment like he knew the back of his hand. He had walked it every dy for the last month and it had become second nature to him by this time. He had to find a job that would give him enough cash to last him for awhile and get some better equipment.
Trevan was thinking about what had happend to his last paycheck and did not notice the young lady heading his way. If that idiot had been alert and watching what he was doing I might have a few bucks in my pocket but, Ohhhh Noooooo, He had to be watching our targets daughter rather than watching my back like he should have been.
About that time *THUD* He runs right into the young lady and over she starts to go.. Trevan was not thinking and reacted by grabbing for her arm to catch her from falling to the hard sidewalk and misses just shy of her arm. Instead he feels something a bit softer then flesh brush his fingers as she keeps going.

HG....
Laeren'ithe Ishlantael (GloryChan)
(3/7/2007 12:05:56 AM)
If she saw just one more person that knew the truth of her shameful existance, she was going to be more than just unhappy... The stress was bad enough day by day, but this entire month was at last three times as bad.... The month of her birth...
Why can't they just ignore me? I know they want to.... Mother never wanted me because of what I am... Father's always despised me because o what I'm not....
Her thoughts were interrupted by a rather solid blow that translated to a shoulder plowing into her right shoulder... then pain radiating from a point in her wings that had been wrapped around her arm...
As she felt herself falling, she tried to roll away from landing on er wings, but realized a little too late that wasn't possible with them wrapped around her like they were...
Anoter blossomming flare of pain in her wings, the section wrapped around her other arm, and she gasped, the sound filled with the pain she was feeling as well as the surprise of being barrelled into unexpectedly.
What Trevan would see as she sat there on the ground trying to keep the tears in her eyes rather than letting them fall was a young lady with fae wings but ears that were pointed more in the elven fashion than in the way than could hape with some Fae... The wings fluttering weakly as they unwrapped from around her, a fair rip on the one side that he'd grabbed for, and the other obviously scraped at the ver least... Both sides were bleeding in a slow ooze that just about guaranteed that they should feel like they were burning... Like a split lip or a skinned knee. Or both, would be more accurate.
Trevan Brenner (tedk32)
(3/7/2007 12:15:07 AM)
Trevan looked down at the young lady that he had barrelled into and noticed that the wings protruding from her shoulders were damaged and bleeding. He felt rather stupid at that point for not paying attention to where he was going. Eventhough he was not one to go out of his way to help someone ,(unless he was getting a decent price), he knew that it was his fault and felt like he should do something .
Trevan Knelt down beside the young woman, "Oh excuse me miss. I was not paying attention and did not see you. Here let me help you up. ",
Trevan reached a hand out to her and half arched his back in preparation to get up and pull her up.
Laeren'ithe Ishlantael (GloryChan)
(3/7/2007 12:25:17 AM)
She looked up at the rather pale man that was looking down at her, her eyes widening a bit as she watched him move towards her... kneel down...
Her wings flutered weakly again, a faint trembling showng in them as they oozed a little more. Violet eyes widening a bit further as he reached out to her to offer a hand up.
"It's my fault..." She murmured in a small voice as she let him take her hand, still in shock... Not from the fall, nor even from the pain of her wing injuries.
Why is he helping me....? Can't he see that I'm not worth his concern?
Trevan Brenner (tedk32)
(3/7/2007 12:31:53 AM)
Trevan helps the young lady to her feet and takes a step back then looks her over.
"You know miss, I do believe that your winds just may need medical attention, There is a hospital just up the street there.", pointing in the direction that she just came from, "If you would like I could escort you there and make sure that they take care of your injuries."
Trevan could have just helped her up and then went on about his own business but, he was responsible for her injuries after all, and it never really hurt to do a good deed once in a while. But that was just the way that he was.
Laeren'ithe Ishlantael (GloryChan)
(3/7/2007 12:38:57 AM)
She was careful to keep her eyes down, tears still too close to falling for her to feel that she was safe in looking up at him... this man, this vampire that was far too kind to her.
She wanted to tell him that she didn't need any help, that her wings would be just fine... But from the fact that her right wing was now throbbing pretty steadily, she knew that he was right. No matter how embarassing it woul be, she'd have to swallow her pride and go through with it if she didn't want to risk getting an infection...
She sounded absolutely miserable in a way that had absolutely nothing to do with her wings and their wounds...
Trevan Brenner (tedk32)
(3/7/2007 12:41:38 AM)
Trevan took her gently by her right arm, "It is just down here.", then slowley started leading her to the hospital.
"My name is Trevan and you are?", He looked at her as he spoke.
Laeren'ithe Ishlantael (GloryChan)
(3/7/2007 12:48:04 AM)
His gentle touch was more than a little surprising to her, the fact that he seemed to truly be concerned about whether or not she would be alrigtht.... She fell into step with him and made sure that she kept up. She didn't want to give him any reason to not want to help her anymore, as shocking as that was.
The fact of the matter was that her state of shock was allowing her to not notice exactly how much pain she should be in right now. There were so many nerves in those thin wings!
"My name is Laeren'ithe..."
Trevan Brenner (tedk32)
(3/7/2007 12:56:19 AM)
"Well, it is nice to meet you Laeren'ithe, even if not under an ideal situation."
They were approaching the entrance to the ER. "Here we are Miss Laeren'ithe." He lead her into the ER entrance and was careful to make sure that her winds did not hit the automatic doors as he lead her between them. walking up to the Reqestration desk in the ER Trevan told the Nurse behind the Desk, "She needs to see someone about her wings." Then looked at Laeren'ithe to take over.
Laeren'ithe Ishlantael (GloryChan)
(3/7/2007 1:05:47 AM)
She looked more than a little uncomfortable as they walked into the ER together, unconsciously walking a little closer to Trevan.... He was far too nice to her....
When the nurse looked to her for details, she gritted her teeth and spread her wings so the nurse could see them. The left wasn't really problem, but the right wing seemed to really have the nurse concerned....
Trevan Brenner (tedk32)
(3/7/2007 1:17:34 AM)
The nurse takes all the information that she needs from Laeren'ithe then asks about her insurance and who will be responsible for the bill.
Trevan speaks up, "Ma'am, I will pay the bill for her treatment and any other costs that are incurred." He reaches into his back pocket and takes out his wallet, reaching into the wallet he produces a thin plastic card, which does not resemble any credit card, and hands it to the nurse. "If you will call that number and give them the 8 digit number on back they can verify any financial information that you need to collect on the bill.
After the nurse takes the card and places the call she hands the thin card back to Trevan, "Thank you Seargent. If you will wait in the waiting area there, someone will be right with you."
Trevan lead Laeren'ithe over to a set of benches that were sitting back to back so that her wings would not be scraping up against a wall then waited for her to take a seat before seating himself.
Laeren'ithe Ishlantael (GloryChan)
(3/7/2007 1:26:53 AM)
The nurse's questions were a blur to Laeren.... She wouldn't remember exactly what information she'd given by tomorrow at the very latest. She just wen through it all from moment to moment....
The fact that he was going to pay for everything kept her in that state of shock as she let him lead hm over to the set of benches that'd been put in place just for any Fae that might have injured wings to keep them from having to injure them further in the wait to have them seen to....
Slowly settling down onto the bench, she looked down at the floor, shivering a little and sitting closer to Trevan than she might have done in ordinary situations.
Trevan Brenner (tedk32)
(3/7/2007 1:33:18 AM)
After an unusual 2 minute wait the Triage Nurse comes out and calls Laeren'ithe's name. There were other people that had been seated in the waiting room when they had come in and they were still there.
After a quick examination the triage Nurse leads Laeren'ithe through a set of double doors and into the examination area. He refuses to let Trevan through considering he is not Immeadiate family. "I am sorry sir, you will have to wait out here."
Laeren'ithe Ishlantael (GloryChan)
(3/7/2007 1:40:37 AM)
Even if she would have had the courage to try to insist that they let Trevan back with her, claiming that he was family, then it would have been more than obvious that he wasn't. He was neither elf nor fae, and that was all that she was... Elf and Fae twisted together....
After she was led back, it would only be about 20 minutes all told before she made her way back to the waiting room where she'd left Trevan waiting...
She looked pretty miserable still, with the spots on her wings patched up, bandaged as carefully as possible, and with a prescription clutched in one hand...
I'm so stupid....
Trevan Brenner (tedk32)
(3/7/2007 1:45:33 AM)
"They got you all patched up I see, I hope that this has not completly ruined your day. If you would let me make it up to you, I could use a cup of coffee right about now but, I could buy you lunch if you don't mind."
Trevan noticed the perscription in her hand and reached out to take it. "Here, Let me get that for you.", Then he stood up and waited to find out if she felt like eating or not.
Laeren'ithe Ishlantael (GloryChan)
(3/7/2007 1:52:42 AM)
She looked down again as he reached towards the prescription, letting him take it without any argument. The shock had worn off most of the way, but it was still amazing to her that he'd helped her out at all, let alone this long...
"Maybe I should let myself get banged up more often, if it means lunch with someone that's so nice..." It was a weak attempt at some humor, and a small way to show that she was appreciative of what he'd done for her so far....
Trevan Brenner (tedk32)
(3/7/2007 1:55:42 AM)
Trevan just smiled at that and asked, "Anywhere that you prefer for food."
Laeren'ithe Ishlantael (GloryChan)
(3/7/2007 2:02:16 AM)
"W-... well, I was headed to.... the Hard Rock Cafe...." But that was far too expensive for him o cover just for an apology for something that was actually her own fault! She didn't deserve a lunch with someone as nice (if dellusional) as Trev seemed to be...
Trevan Brenner (tedk32)
(3/7/2007 2:15:59 AM)
"Great, then it is settled. I have eaten there everyday for the past month since I got back from ... ... err.. ... .. Out of town business."
Trevan had almost forgot that he was talking to a civilian there for a moment and almost let details of his last mission slip.. He would have to be more careful in the future so that there would be a future.
Trevan and Laeren'ithe headed back to the Hard Rock Cafe and got settled into a nice table with a special Fae style chair for her wings.
Trevan ordered his coffee and let Laeren'ithe order what ever she wanted to. He did have enough cash left to handle this small thing and a few others. He knew that his next job would be just around the corner or at least as soon as he got home and checked his website.
While they were waiting for the food to arrive, "So Laeren'ithe, What kind of work do you do?"
Trevan Brenner (tedk32)
(3/7/2007 2:33:10 AM)
Trevan just looked at her for a moment letting the fact that he had caused the doctor to need a doctor... Now he really felt stupid for not paying attention earlier.
"Well, I am in the Pest Removal business.", He had not lied at all and at the same time not told the complete truth. The truth was that he did remove pests, just not the kind that most people think of when they hear the word pest.
Trevan flashed Laeren'ithe, a slight smile, "I have to appoligize to you for not watching what I was doing earlier, I was thinking about something entirly diffrent then what I was doing. I hope that you can forgive me."
Laeren'ithe Ishlantael (GloryChan)
(3/7/2007 2:39:10 AM)
"What kind of pests do you remove the most?" There was nothing more than simple curiosity in her voice... Either she had a hint of what he did for a living or she didn't, it was hard to tell either way.
".... forgive you?" She honestly sounded shocked that he thought that he needed forgiveness for anything. "It was my fault! I wasn't watching where I was going... I was just......" Moping, feeling sorry for herself, dreading the time she'd end up speding near her parents. "..... thinking about something....."
Trevan Brenner (tedk32)
(3/7/2007 2:48:45 AM)
"Well ... I have the privelge of removing the most dangerous ones around and tracking down the ones that get away. Why just last month I had to track down a Cobra..", What he was not telling her is that the Cobra was being used by the idiot that headed up some drug cartel. It was his favorite gun and would even make his own bullets for it.
Trevan just looked a bit suprised that she seemed to have such a low self-esteem. Although, he could understand it in a way. A long time ago in a time that was mostly forgotten he too had been kinda the same way. That is one of the reasons that he became a Bounty Hunter when he grew up.
The food had arrived a while ago and they were just finnishing up now... He had done had enough coffee to float a Battleship..
"Well, I better get back to my place sometime soon but, maybe we will bump into eachother some other time.", He was trying to get at least a small smile from her, He could tell that she was still kinda depressed and could not in all good consience leave her that way.
Laeren'ithe Ishlantael (GloryChan)
(3/7/2007 2:55:17 AM)
She'd eaten slowly, savoring both the good food, and the company that didn't look down on her because of what she was and what she wasn't...It was nice.... She didn't deserve it at all, but t was still nice.
She did smile slightly, softly, at the idea of bumping into him again....
"Maybe not literally, though..." She meant it as a ligh joke, and just hoped it came out that way. The last thing she wanted to do ws to make Trev feel worse about what had happened earlier than he already did.
He was far too nice a person where she is concerned.
