concoctive | SCAWWY 😱 hawke

Aw, I'd be askin' every day.

[ manages a smile, despite the absolutely rancid stormcloud above his head for his animal crossing emojis. he'll pull out a flashlight and shine it from outside in on both eyes.

your fuckin 3 does not spell good news for hawke. ]

... probably kept her from hurtin' more people, before she conked out. But damn if you need a better weapon than yourself.

My, what a charmer.

[ before making nyeh faces at the light. nyeh!!!!! flinching probably doesn't help the raging migraine she's feeling right about now and she goes back to ooghing quietly. the despair lines in her thoughts just come back in full force ]

Better have the focus on me than the others. I can take it.

[ SURE, IF SHE WASN’T SQUISHY RIGHT NOW ]

[ clicks off the flashlight and fishes into his bag to pull out two tincture vials. ]

You any good with a dagger? [ he uncorks the vials and offers both to her. ] Drink 'em both. You and me are gonna be awake for a while until I'm sure you're not gonna die in your sleep.

[ Don't think I could take losin' you on top of Rondo and Daan this week. ]

Weapon of choice. Two of them, long as my forearms.

[ there's a slight nose scrunch but like any fantasy character, she takes a breath and downs both of them like shots ]

Maker. We really are dwindling to nothing.

Can't get you two, at least not today, but I can get you one. Not gonna be that big, though.

[ he takes the vials back once she's done downing them, corking and sticking them in his satchel. he pulls out some paper from the pyre bulletin board, along with a pen, and begins to draw.

his movements are as steady as he can make them, and he's focused on what he's doing - but he does respond while he does this. ]

... we are, yeah. Bleedin' out and then some.

Even one would be a maker blessed miracle at this point.

[ she drums her fingers on her knee, already annoyed with herself and the entire situation. this is going to be a long night ]

Can't help if I've got the hardest head in all of scawwy. Seems to be working in my favor at least. [ until it doesn't. she doesn't let that part pop up in her thoughts though ] Though, that does remind me, there is something I was supposed to mention. Daan had gave me a right lecture about it [ and then he went off and did That and she's so very angry at him-] but I suppose best let you know before the week is properly over.

Just 'cause apothecaries get called miracle workers doesn't mean we are. But I can deliver unto you a miracle.

[ somewhere, temenos sneezes at this line theft.

he pauses in his work, frowning, then looking up. he doesn't address the first part right now, considering, maybe, this is more important than doubling up on a lecture about her being more careful with herself. ]

... s'gonna be good somethin', or bad somethin', here?

[ she's absolutely not looking at him. the finger drumming picks up in beat ]

I ah, can heal. Once per week.

[ the hehe? energy is so strong right now ]

[

he reaches out and chops her square between the eyes with the side of his hand. ]

[ wHARGH-

:( ]

Maker-! I'd almost take the lecture instead.

You use it yet, this week?

[ dryly, but he goes back to drawing. ]

Don't go gettin' into trouble just 'cause you can heal! What if you need it for somethin' like the trips that happen every Thursday, huh?

On Daan, that bastard.

[ mutters grumpily about it. she smacked him across the head and what does he do??? she takes back all that concern ]

I've been sitting on it in case we needed it for something the swamp couldn't take care of, honestly. I figured to keep it quiet since I'd rather not have anyone under suspicion for mystery healings, yeah? [ and I may have forgotten for a bit too ] Then I ended up.... busy on Sunday's so it's not like I could particularly go around and see what I could do.

Go figure.

[ sighing softly, but he finishes his drawing and... lifts the dagger up off the page, making it physical and handing it to her. ]

Can draw somethin' once a week, long as it's not alive, and make it real. I don't normally use it unless I think it's important, just in case I need it Sundays, but in your case? Think you need somethin' to keep you safe.

It's good that you haven't spread it everywhere. Safe for you, especially after the slip last week.

[ o: !!!!!!!!!!!! she looks delighted by this ]

Well! Isn't that something? [ she'll figure out a sheath later but for now she's doing a well trained lookover on her new shiny ] And- as much as I'd like to deny it, perhaps having something on hand might be for the best. Maker forbid anyone home finding out just how poorly I've been doing here with just my bare hands.

[ but she does quirk a brow at him at his last comment too ]

That's what I was trying to tell Daan, but I think he'd rather have thrown me into the lake and been done with it. Honestly, I'm surprised he didn't. [ TOO SOON ]

Not as detailed as it could be, but I'm practicin' my drawin' skills. Still does the job, though, and there's some river stones that can be handy for whetstones if you root through the stream.

[ a small snort leaves him, though. ]

We get used to the things that we can do, back home. My concoctions aren't nearly as strong as they should be, and I can't make as many as I usually can. Ingredients, Dohter's blessin'... all of it's gone. [ nevermind his strength. criminy. ]

I'm half tempted to do it myself. You've been givin' me a heart attack every Saturday for three weeks runnin' so far.
