“Wh-what..?” She looked over the small goblin, now realizing what she was dealing with. The sound of the bear startled her momentarily until she realized it was carrying.... fireworks. She took a moment to straighten out the situation. This was by far the strangest day she’d ever had.
The feeling of her brother moving brought her back around.
When he sat, she finally had a moment to see the extent of the damage to him. Honestly, she didn’t know how he was still alive, let alone moving. It might have seemed cliché, but the only thing she could think to do was rip at the skirt of her dress and try to bandage him up as best she could. She knelt behind him, a hand on the small of his back as she looked around him counting out scrapes, lacerations, punctures and general bleeding-must-be-bad spots.
She didn’t know first aide at all… but she had read stories about combat medics and priests. Stopping the bleeding first, right? Or was it…set…bones.. or… She quirked an eyebrow as her hand passed over a HOLE… She ducked her head around to look at the front of him. It went straight THROUGH… Sweet sen’jin was that an arrow hole?! Yeaaah maybe she should do something about THAT first…
Elsie stopped counting when her brother spoke to the goblin.
“Wait… THAT WAS YOU?! You shot the rocket!!”
She ducked her head, a little frightened of the bear as it stood.
After realizing it meant them no harm, she set into her first aide work.
She held a strip of the stained linen to the arrow hole, turning it this way and that trying to figure out how to wrap the bloody thing. She started to wrap his shoulder arrow wound with a long piece of fabric. Around his shoulder and under his arm.
Then she saw the slash on his chest. Elsie paled. She wanted to touch it, but didn’t. It reminded her of those pranks Tuli would play with the tomato sauce… Maybe that one should have been first? Or his hand?
“I don’t….. know what I’m doing…. We need to get you to Booty Bay, Tai.”
