James pushed himself to his feet, waving to the heavily-armed woman looking over at him. "Heh, sorry about that..." He took a chair next to Azana, leaning in close.
"Is everyone here that paranoid...?"
"This WAS a battlefield, you know," Azana retorted with a smirk, "but not really. I never really got her story, but I know she's a vampire...probably some residual infighting." She signaled to whoever was operating the bar for two glasses of red wine and began to weave her tales on the Plains of Torment and Barton Cliffs...

"Nectar quickly," said Angeles her eyes glowing as she shot up and towards the two men. She was not coming to the attack though as she helped Erik off of Ultima's shoulder. She hissed slightly at the scent of blood and caught Ultima by the arm, he looked ready to fall. She looked over at Zulma who was already working on getting the medical supplies and Angeles began to walk the two men towards the stairs towards the medical room.
"Zulma," said Angeles looking at the woman, "why is the medical room downstairs?" this was something she really wanted to know but she could wait for the answer. she could not carry Erik and help Ultima down the stairs at the same time while her powers were gone.
"Indara," she said and the moth transformed into a humanoid figure and lifted Ultima up into her arms. Together they brought the two downstairs.

Ultima didn't reply. Erik couldn't speak or move, which made things hard on Ultima. He swore he heard Erik talking. It was too faint to hear. He closed his eyes and thought to himself. "Am I always injured near the deadly vampire?" His entire world flipped and left from his sight.

Zulma followed downstairs.
"Because the entrance for the medical center is on the other side at ground level. The Inn was never intended to be the way to access the medic room." she answered with a shrug. She found it a pain too to have the stairs...but oh well.
Once Erik was on a bed, Zulma did not lose time to rip off his shirt. Nice... she thought.
"Angeles, go back upstairs and have a drink." she said then added. "Thank you."
The innkeeper was already pressing on the wounds while Celine was taking care of Ultima.
((The truth is that I said the room was at the same level, but someone else said downstairs (don't remember who nor when) and so it became downstairs...lol))

"Uh-- Um, I've never really learned to prepare nectar, Angeles, I apologise~"
MacPere poured twin glasses of deep red wine, taking them to the awaiting patrons. "I do apologise for the wait..." He lifted the glasses to rest atop his head. "... Have we had the pleasure of meeting before~?"

Azana chuckled in delight at the balancing act, stopping to concentrate when the tender asked about her.
"....Once, I think, though I never properly introduced myself. Azana Brown, and this lunatic over here is James Taylor."
"Not lunatic...GENIUS!" He replied with fervor, "Ingrate...if it weren't for my smarts, you'd be dead ten times over by now!"
"Fine line, Tech...fine line. And you would be...?" She asked, noticing that he was almost always here. Was he on staff, or did he just have a thing for Zulma, the head innkeep?

Erik clutched a shard of metal so tightly, it cut him. When he opened his hand, the metal was black and glowing with energy. He'd taken it off the samurai. He couldn't see anything at all. His eyes were opened. "What...Who's there?" He asked, trying to brace himself, the movement caused him extreme pain.

"MacPere is thy name, it is a pleasure to meet you both~" MacPere took up a hand from both person and pressed a kiss to each. "If you are in need of anything, do not hesitate to bell, it would be my delight~ Do enjoy your drinks."
He strolled back to the bar with a wink at both, particularly Azana, and opened the kitchen door; attempting to make Angeles' needed nectar.

"Don't move." growled Zulma at Erik pressing him back on the bed. Her hand on his bare chest felt very hot, his skin was burning. The man was in bad shape and she could see that the wounds were not simple physical wounds, some magic was at stake. She did not like it.
Celine was cleaning Ultima's wounds with clean clothes. He was not in such a bad shape as his brother but he did not look great.
"This is Zulma, Erik. Do not worry." she spoke softly as she tried to clean up the wounds with holy water. "It might hurt a little." she warned him.

Angeles went back upstairs as she was told. She paused on the stairs briefly and brought her arm up to her gaze. She bent her head slightly and licked the blood off her coat. Her eyes closed as Erik's memories flooded through her mind. She licked the palm of her hand next and watched Ultima's memories next. She shuddered slightly and continued back up the stairs, continuing to lick herself clean. It was probably an unpleasant sight to the people upstairs but it was all she could do from running back downstairs and attacking the two injured men.

Azana found herself blushing slightly as MacPere kissed her hand, though more amusement filled her when he did the same to James. So he's just a flirt...I'll keep that in mind.
"I have never had a guy kiss my hand like that..." He commented absently before taking a sip of the wine. "But he's got damn good taste."
"Told you you need to get out more...now, where was I...? Oh, yeah, the grizzled old shaman!" She continued her tale, careful not to leave out a single detail...

Erik cringed as the healing magic of the water took effect. It had little effect, but there was something. The cut sent a shock through Erik, down to his arm. He dropped the metal as it heated intensely. His sight came back to him. "What happened to Shade?" He asked. He felt her hand on him. "You've a gentle touch for one so firm." He said lightly.

"Your brother is fine. Celine is taking care of him." The young nurse was doing everything for Ultima to be healed soon.
As Erik flirted with her, Zulma smiled. "I see that you are not losing your grip on the essential..." she smirked back but her eyes were still worried.
She took a clean piece of fabric and dipped it in Holy Water, she used it to clean up the blood from his wounds. Soon the water was clouded with red and the fabric was not white anymore.
She took bandages and wrapped Erik's hand and any wounded parts of his body. She gave him a glass of holy water to drink.
"Here, drink." she said, putting the glass in his non-wounded hand.

James and Azana were laughing in moments, especially as she got to the part where she approached the temple.
"...That fireball was going back and forth through those portals like those cartoon chase scenes. The only way we got through it was with her excellent aim. She hit that door like it was right in front of her, and then I was squeezed to the other side of the door somehow."
"What's it feel like...to be squeezed like that?"
"Think apparating in the Harry Potter books, but more sudden and a little less nausea-inducing."
"So what happened inside...?" He asked, taking a sip of his wine. Azana seemed to be waiting until he had finished his drink, which meant she didn't want a spit take...this was going to be good.
"I died." She took a sip herself to let it sink in.
"What?! That's it?"
"No! No no no...I was only technically dead, apparently. Cerberus was a Death and Void element user...whole temple apparently had the effects. Didn't even feel it...Hades had to tell me." She had to explain how Hades could be there if he was dead and cremated, and how the heck he expected the plan to work.
"That's one of the looser plans you've gone with..."
"He didn't give me a choice! Started running up the stairs before I could even protest...so I chased him. Got there just in time to watch him burn to nothing."
"Like--"
"Soul death, yeah. Completely, totally gone. Unmade. Nothing makes you hesitate like watching that kind of display." She was silent for a moment, remembering the fallen comrade before raising her glass. "To Hades, Marked SIN warrior, traitor, and savior of Gaia."
"Cheers."

Coming down the stairs, Joseph gave a short wave to everyone he knew, trying not to think about those few briefs moments of being human. Spotting Azana, he made his way over. He heard the thing about Hades, also giving his own silent gratitude.
"Hello, Miss Azana. I hope you are well." Taking notice of the unknown male next to her, he gave a greeting as well, introducing himself afterward.
Looking over at MacPere, he asked, "Hey, MacPere, if it isn't too much trouble, could I have a glass of water?"
Turning back to Azana, he asked, "So, how is it going?"
