Routine As Usual (Open)

[Curtis & Slity & Silvia]

DATE & TIME : October 30th - Mid Morning
WEATHER CONDITIONS : Very Cool
CHARACTERS INVOLVED : Curtis - Open
PREVIOUS THREADS ? Nope

The cool air rushed through the lightly forested area as the tree's provided minimal cover from the winds at this point. The Sun was shinning brightly down onto the island of berk but again, that did nothing to stop the coolness. It was clear it was starting to become winter fast at this point, now Curtis knew why he liked summer so much, at least it wasn't cold all the time.

Curtis made his way through the sparse forest edge as he moved inwards to the denser forest. Slity was tailing behind him quiet and just looked at his own surroundings. Curtis left Silvia at home because it was clear she just didn't want to get up from her morning dragon nap, that was fine with him that just meant one less dragon to keep track off. Even though Slity wasn't a problem anyways, always laid back and quiet half the time sometimes getting giddy and excited for the odd thing.

They started to enter the denser part of the forest, the wind was started to become more shut out because of the number of trees in the area. Curtis adjusted the two satchels he brought with him to collect as many of the herbs he could. It was starting to become winter and he wasn't to make sure he had what he needed back home so he didn't have to trek through the snow trying to scramble to find something. He could always just head down to Red Rock if he was that needy for herbs. Curtis pulled out the piece of paper from his pocket and looked at it.

" Okay.. We need Tybast... Snapweed.. Hoiste flowers.. and Fury Fire herbs. " He looked over to Slity who's ears were perked up. " How about you find the Snapweed and Hoiste Flowers and I'll get the others. "

"Right, Right Right. " Slity commented before starting to search around.

Curtis smiled and put the paper away and started to search for what he needed.

[Ethelwulf]

"breath Leroy! Dear Thor just breath!"
It had been a few hours after the close encounter of the side of the mountain. Ethelwulf and Leroy had been on patrol over the outskirts of berk, flying over the island for any signs of trouble, distress or lost vikings or injured dragons.
Leroy lay slumped over broken tree's and branches covered his wings and chest as his back lay against the cold hard ground. The side of his left wing looked to be bruised badly and bleeding with scrapes an cuts from crashing in the side of the mountain.
"If you weren't so focused on snapping the terrible terror's away..this wouldn't of happened Leroy." A hiss protruded from his lips of the downed Fell Beast; lurching his massive jaws near her face. Ethel just blew in his face to surprise him and kept tending to his wing as he continued to pick individual branches off his body. He was not so favorable of the circumstances that his wing was fractured; it would mean he'd be grounded for a while. he was used to moving on the ground, but the air was the only place he felt truely at ease without the care of anything but Ethel and him.
"Leroy...what am I gonna do with you." ethel said as she began wrapping some old worn cloth around the first digit of his wing finger. The beast lay it's head down behind Ethel, waiting for the bandaging to be done and for them to move on.

[Curtis & Slity & Silvia]

The pair kept scouring the area. Curtis was knelt down beside a bush, poking his fingers in and moving the branches out of the way to attempt to find what he needed. He looked up through the openings in the canopy and smiled to himself as he stood back up. Quietly he just stood there and looked around for a moment before he heard something faint. An animal perhaps? No. It was a voice, but a voice he was unfamiliar with. He looked over to Slity and whistled to get his attention, when he did he motioned for his dragon to come closer to him and Slity did.

"If you weren't so focused on snapping the terrible terror's away..this wouldn't of happened Leroy." He heard faintly in the surrounding area. He started to walk towards the unfamiliar voice with Slity in tow behind him. The pair carefully and quietly made their way closer and closer to the voice, Curtis' hand resting on the hilt of his sword just in case.

They snuck up to a large group of bushes and kept low to the ground and listened to the voice, one female and the other was a dragon by the sound of how the girl was talking to her friend. Curtis pushed the bushes apart slowly to look at the pair they were listening to. He raised his eyebrow when he saw the girl handling the cloth, he wasn't able to get too close of a look at the dragon though. He shrugged to himself, how dangerous can they truly be, stupid thought but still. Curtis got up and so did Slity. He cleared his throat to alert the pair in front of them.

" Hello. What happened here? " Curtis said as he moved around the bushes and closer to the pair. He was now able to see the dragon and the condition it was in. Wasn't terrible but still needed help of course.

[Ethelwulf]

With a flinch of it's wings, the Fell Beast revealed it's massive wingspan and screamed it's gurgling roar at the intruder. Knocking Ethel off her balance and on her back with a thud. Leroy lurched his neck backwards, exposing the severed sharp teeth, drooling saliva that dripped from his jaws and the fowl stench evading from black smoke from his mouth.
"Venture any closer and you will become my next meal!"Leroy hissed with the foul stench of his breath.

Ethel jumped to her feet and as swift as her feet could carry her; jumped between Leroy and the target's he had. She crossed her arms in annoyance, a bit of a bruise on her chin showing now. "Leroy Thickhide! Down." A hiss was delivered as he glared at Ethel.
"I'm sorry sir, my 'Beast' is not so fond of strangers. We were here dressing this scaly-hide's wound on his wing after an accident clash into the mountainside." She didn't dare take her eyes away from the menacing glare that Leroy had her trapped in. Keeping to her ground to show him he was wrong and not the boss.

[Curtis & Slity & Silvia]

Curtis watched the bigger dragon get up from it's resting spot quickly and snap at him. He laughed to himself as the dragon spoke to him, he held up his hand to the dragon. " Trust me, I have no wish to become your next meal there bud." He smiled at the dragon then over to the girl as she mentioned something about the dragons wounds. He gazed over to the weakly bandaged wounds and back to the girl. " Mind if I have a look at the wound? I might be able to treat it better. " He commented.

The wounds weren't that bad by the looks of them from what he could see with the bandaging on, plus the dragon didn't seem overly concerned about it either. He was sure due to the minority of the wound he would be able to fix it no problem, something more major and he might of needed more help with that.

" Im sorry about my manners. " he laughed abit " I'm Curtis and this is Slity. " he spoke as he motioned to the white fear that stood behind him watching with curiosity. " Now I caught your dragons name, but what might yours be?"

[Ethelwulf]

Ethel turned, "I'm Ethelwulf. Ethel for short. I'm one of the new warrior's for Berk and these are our first flights around the island so were not quite familiar with the area. It's very nice to meet you Curtis."She looked down at the White Fear behind him and smiled, "don't believe I've ever seen a dragon such as Slity"

Ethel put her arms down as Leroy settled himself after the small debut of the glare they had and curled his long tail around his body and wings folded, holding out the wing like it was no problem for him to move it. "I think it's just fractured and starting to swell a bit. I'm not so sure if my bandages will work for long but if you wish you can have a look..just stear clear of 'his' jaws."

"Cause I'll surely use them" Leroy grinned slightly at the edge of his curled lips, watching Curtis closely and the white dragon behind him. "You better keep your scaly claws to yourself."[/i][/color] He threatened with a gurgling-hiss.

[Curtis & Slity & Silvia]

Curtis smiled and nodded when he learned the girls name. " Well it's always nice to see new faces on Berk, and it's good to meet you. " He looked back to Slity after Ethelwulf made comment about him. " Ahah.. White Fear's are quite rare this far north, somewhat more common further south, but still rare enough. Looks just like a Night Fury. " he laughed and looked back to Ethelwulf. " The other one is back home taking a long dragon nap like usual. "

Curtis looked over to Leroy for a moment as Ethel explained not to get in the range of his jaws. As he slowly moved towards the dragon with Slity behind him, he hears the dragon. " I'm a dragon healer, or at least more of one then a lot more people. I'm not about to ram my sword into your neck unless you give me a pretty good reason to Leroy." he made comment to the dragon.

Looking down to the newly but make shift bandages, Curtis slowly undid the patchwork. Once the wrapping was off the wound, he examined it more.

" Well it's defiantly not something you just wanna patch up and move on. But it's not terrible. " He looked into one of his satchels he brought along and pulled out a few herb leaves. " Come here Slity ". Slity came closer and Curtis held out his hand with the herbs. " No swallowing. " Curtis laughed as Slity took the herbs and started chewing on them.

Curtis looked over to Ethel. " Just saves me from having to do it. Plus I think the dragon spit works better anyways. " Curtis chuckled as he took away the bandaging the Ethel used. He looked through the satchels seeing if he had good cloth in one of the pockets. " Got any questions Ethel? Feel free to ask. "

[Ethelwulf]

Ethel came to Curtis's side, kneeling down beside him and patting the non injured appendage of the Beast wing, a flinch was received but no emediate threat from Leroy was made. Looking up at him, he'd be just one big pouting beast who wasn't at all pleased with the circumstances. Ethel ignored the beast attitude, "Well for one, how have you become so good at healing, I've been here for some weeks now but have no seen those herbs before."

Leroy toke one look at his now 'attending to be mended' wing and huffed. He'd suspect he'd be there for a while and lay his head behind Ethel's side. Getting a light pat on his nose. "I don't trust them..why are you so easily trusting of these strangers.." He grumbled nudging her side lightly.

Ethel just patted his nose and continued to watch Curtis, observing each motion he has making to bandage it, and to the herb that his dragon was chewing. "He'll be able to fly in a matter of how long? we still have patrolling to do and don't wish to blow it off so easily with a minor wound.. would we be able to fly anytime by tonight?"

[Curtis & Slity & Silvia]

Curtis smiled to himself when he was asked how he got so good at healing. " Well you see, my girlfriend is the real dragon healer on the island. She's been off on other islands or too busy here on Berk to be able to go out and get things done, so I learned from her how to heal dragons the right way. And some of these herbs grow in some of the most bizarre places. "

Slity stuck out his tongue with the chewed up herbs on it. Curtis grabbed the fresh cloth he found from his satchel and grabbed the chewed herbs from his dragons mouth with the cloth. He then continued to take the cloth and herbs and wrap it around the dragons wound and tie it off.

Curtis looked back to Ethel. " Well, because it's not a terribly bad wound he should be able to fly in no time. But, I'd suggest you don't try flying until at least tomorrow night. The herbs will set in properly within an hour and they will work their magic from there. " Curtis smiled and got up. " Sorry, but no patrolling for you two tonight. Not unless you want to worsen the injury of course." He patted of his hands and put away and herbs he had left over. " So Ethel, where are you from? I've never seen your face around here before. "

[Ethelwulf]

Ooc: Wow you reply fast I love it

Ic: Ethel breathed calmly seeing the last bit of bandages going to Leroy's wing. She peered behind her back to see he's lightly dozing off and a low out-tuned purr came from his throat; or a small gurgling noise that would be his purr. Ethel smiled and looked back to Curtis, "Thank you Curtis. It's someone with a true heart to help those in need even if they didn't ask for it."

Ethel looked around the surrounding area, "I guess I'm gonna be here for the night.." she chuckled, "He usually doesn't wake up till midnight or before the sun rises. Thank you again Curtis." She looked down at Slity and patted his nose, "And thank you too fella."

Getting up from her spot in the grass, Ethel reached for her small pack and pulled out a small blanket. "I might as well make my rest bed for the night; just to be prepared."She looked over at the dozing beast; in a way she liked it when he slept. He was nicer and quiet and not so threatening to everyone else around them.

"I can't tell you how many times me and him get in a fight over something. Were like polar opposites and almost constantly at each other's throats; but he's there when I need him. Well, if you were busy before; you've helped me all you can and thank you again." she went back, sitting next to leroy's head after setting everything up for the night to come.

[Curtis & Slity & Silvia]

Curtis smiled back at Ethel and nodded to her. " Sometimes you need to help others before yourself. Sometimes its the other way around, but I believe in helping people whether they need it or not. " He commented. He glanced over to Leroy for a moment. " Just remember that it you ever need help like this again, we're just in town. "

Curtis nodded and looked around the surrounding area. " No problem. " Curtis smiled again at Ethel. When Ethel patted Slity's nose and let out a soft purr. " Your welcome " the dragon answered whether Ethel understood or not.

Curtis laughed a bit at Ethel's comment and looked over to Slity. " It's understandable. " He patted Slity's nose and head. " Well, stay safe for the night, we really gotta get back home. Gotta make sure that dragon of mine doesn't start chewing on something in the house. Remember no flying until tomorrow. " Curtis motioned for Slity to start heading back home. " See you around Ethel. "

The pair started walking off through the forest from the way they came. That was their good deed for the day for sure.

[Ethelwulf]

Ethel watched as Curtis and Slity walked off the way they came; until they were out of sight from the clearing. Ethel looked to her sleeping companion, watching as his flimsy black fin spikes vibrated lightly to his calm breath; a light smoke from his nostrils came fluently.

Looking around the surrounding area, Ethel decided to wait till the night crept up upon them both. Steping round Leroy's great wings and sitting beside his long tail; retrieving a small silverish object from her hind pocket. A small fat-ish flute with a tiny mouth piece and little holes on the side. "Might as well pass the time with some songs."

Starting with the first, it was like a slow lullaby. It would keep Leroy sleeping if he woke up again and it was a beauty to listen to.
