“You should sit down,” Blue pointed out, looking at a nearby couch sitting in a pile of trash. It was ratty, but large enough for Alexander to lay. Blue was already tugging lightly on the other’s arm in that direction.
Alexander follows, stumbling a little. He glances at his hand where it was a little see through. He takes a breath and sits down in the couch, taking a few deep breaths.
Blue walked around the small dump and found slightly broken cup. It was enough to hold water. Blue rinsed it and filled it with clean water, remembering what Izzy said earlier. He raised it up to Alexander’s lips, “You should drink it.”
Alexander takes the water and nods in thanks. He gently lifts the water to his lips and drinks it, the pool water helping his sore throat. "Thanks." He says softly.
Blue filled the cup up with more water and set it beside him in case he needed more. He kneeled beside Alexander. Blue’s hand occupied itself by picking at the threads falling from the broken couch, “Thank you. For saving me.”
Alexander chuckles. "Yeah. Of course." He says softly, his hand gently taking Blue's. He looks up at the sky and sighs softly. "We'll make a base here. Bring people in that need shelter. Think you can help me with that?" He asks, glancing at the male beside him.
“I can help,” Blue said, happy to be helping people rather that hurting. “I can summon clean water, and I can go find people and bring them here,” Blue looked up at the sky too, and slowly stood up, but his hand was still entwined with Alexander’s. He slowly looked down at Alexander, purpose in his eyes, “I’ll go and find people who need help. You stay here.”
Blue’s hand left Alexander’s, and he went to where the smoke rose up to the sky to find people who needed help.
Alexander nods, smiling a little. "That works." He says softly, glancing at the other. He watches the other leave, and his smile falters. He shuts his eyes, releasing a pained sigh as he relaxes. He wanted to give in to deaths temptations, he was so weak and tired. He had used more than what he should have and now his body was paying the price.
Blue scavenged the battlefield for the living, hiding from the invaders at the same time, and ended up finding a group of five humans huddled together, two of them bleeding badly. One was cut across his torso, unconscious, while the other lost part of their leg. The group made their way back to the shelter Alexander was at, but one of them died along the way. The one who lost the lower half of their leg kept going though, and was set gently on the ground next to Alexander’s couch. Blue started making a turnicate, while one of the humans kept the poor female calm, a strip of clothe in their mouth. Blue himself was covered in their blood from helping carry the female here.
Alexander was still, only his rising and falling chest the only thing showing he was still alive. His eyes are shut, his lips slightly parted. He was obviously in pain, but it was more of a spiritual level than physical. His physical body hurt a lot though, and he was covered in blood, the aliens, and his own.
Once Blue finished the turnicate, the others took over. He wiped the sweat off his head and stood up, feeling accomplished. The female was going to live. He looked at Alexander to smile, but instead found himself at Alexander’s side when he saw the male. His hands hovered over Alexander. What could he do? He knew nothing of what Alexander was dealing with… He turned his arm into cloth and rested it on the other’s forehead. He hoped the coolness would help in some way.
Alexander groans softly, feeling a coolness on his forehead. He relaxes, his eyes slowly fluttering open. He winces, swearing softly under his breath.
“I’m here,” Blue whispered, brushing his cloth arm lightly on Alexander’s forehead, “What can I do? What hurts?”
Alex shakes his head, "I-I'm okay… I just need to lay here for a little while…" he manages. He groans softly, resting a hand on his stomach.
Blue looked to the humans who weren’t injured, “Could you bring more injured here?” Two humans left, one staying and comforting the one who lost a part of their leg. Blue turned back to Alexander and rest his chin of the couch next to Alexander. His summoned water and got his cloth hand wet. He wiped of the blood off the male’s handsome face, “I’ll stay here for a bit.”
Alex nods, "Thank you…" He says softly, his silver eyes shutting. He relaxes slowly, his body going limp as he allows himself to rest. He was glad Blue was at his side. "Izzy…" He calls softly. She appears, and he motions his eyes towards the injured. She nods and heads to work.
Blue smiled softly as he watched Alexander’s closing eyes. The humans came back with more injured, and more able-bodied to help retrieve the injured. But Blue didn’t leave his post beside Alexander, rather, using his water from a far to wash away the blood and clean out wounds as best as he could. The little sheltered area became a well functioning medical unit after an hour. They even found a doctor and two nurses in the carnage that could help with more serious wounds.
Izzy sets a hand on Blue's shoulder. "You need rest." She says softly, kneeling next to him. "You have done much today. Now go get some rest." She smiles gently at Blue. Her eyes are filled with concern.
Blue released a deep breath and responded softly, “Okay,” So Blue positioned himself to sit at the edge of the broken couch, his head resting on the cushion until he fell into a exhaustion induced deep sleep, and his hand slowly retracted and became physical, falling to the ground.
