Radi stiffened, hesitantly accepting her support. “Back home. I’ve got some stuff there.”

“Oh? Why not to the hospital?” But she continues to walk back to the house anyways.

“There are people there, that know who I am..” He glanced off to the side. “Just..don’t question it.”

“I’m probably going to question it later,” she honestly stated. “But sure. I’ll let it slide for now.” It didn’t take long for her to return to the house. Good. The blood was really getting to her.

Radi nodded, eyes closing. “Yeah..You probably will.” And it was with those words that Radi passed out. He leaned completely into Celia.

Celia let out a squeak, or at least a noise similar to one as she felt him collapse into her. She didn’t fall down, instead keeping herself standing, albeit trying to find the best stance in order to keep him from falling. That Kreso had something on his knife..she shot a glance back.

She didn’t really want to go back again, not sure if he’d still be back there or not. She was right at the house, so the best thing for her to do was probably to get in and see what she could do. But as she tried the door, she remembered Radi having a key.

Carefully, she stuck her hand in the other’s pockets, searching for the key.

Radi stayed still, his breathing and heartbeat even for the time being. The key would be in the right front pocket.

((I don’t think the medRP that we experienced will help either of us))

Finally grabbing the key, Celia quickly yanked her hand away and unlocked the door. In a rush - it was hard to, though with someone leaning on you - she entered the house and got the male settled on the couch before returning and closing the door. Setting the keys in the tin, Celia returned to the couch and stood over Radi. She wasn’t sure what type of poison had been put into the body, but given his reaction to it, it was probably just a poison to knock out the person.

She kneeled down and lightly grabbed his arm, looking at the wound. Celia blinked at the blood - it didn’t bother her, but there was quite a bit of it. She looked around the house for any supplies she could use.

There would be bandages in the bathroom.

For now, Radi looked relatively undisturbed. One could almost say he were sleeping, which he wasn’t.

She finds some bandages, and takes them back.

Celia takes a cloth and wets it, wringing out what water she can. She cleans the wound.
I’m really unsure of what I’m doing right now…he might die..
Afterwards, she sets the cloth and kneels over in silence, debating what next.

The poison that remained in Radi’s system was beginning to disperse on its own, given there wasn’t a big dose. Still, Radi did not wake up, shifting slightly in spot.

Celia glances at him again, eyes moving towards his arm. “You know, I wasn’t probably going to do much with you, but I’d rather not have you die after a day of knowing you. Plus you’re..interesting.” She leans in, and the smell of blood reaches her nose once more. This time, the feeling is harder to suppress. She’s smelled the same blood so many times over and over and over - it’s..almost irresistible.

Bloodjaws weren’t known to drink blood, weren’t they? Well, they did have blood in their name…
She flinched back upon realizing she’d just tasted Radi’s blood on her lips. On her tongue. She hesitates for a few seconds. The blood is good. And seeing a human in a state like this…easy prey..he’d be.

Wait! Did I ingest poison? Quickly, Celia jumped back and spit out the tiny droplets of blood. That didn’t look like enough blood for poison, but..Celia still tensed, looking back to Radi again.

“I shouldn’t eat humans, no. Not on my third or so day in the city, no.” Even though she’d threatened the very act earlier. Celia slowly approached, after taking a few breaths she calmed herself down. Calm. Just..just bandage the arm.

Radi’s eyelids fluttered open for a moment, eyes scattering around the room, finding someone or something to focus on. His eyes landed on someone, leaning over him. Looking to where their hands were, Radi blinked, feeling tired. So tired, as though he’d woken up from a sleep.

“Polina,” he mumbled out. “Ty zhyvyy…?”

Polina….?

Not faltering, Celia continued to bandage up the wound. She didn’t even pause when she realized Radi woke up. Eyes on the hands, eyes on the bandaging.

“Who is Polina?”

“Polina is my..” He froze, seeming to have regained his senses. Falling completely into silence, his eyes met Celia’s face.

Your.. Celia finishes, realizing that he’s now looking at her. Without any more words, Celia stands up and backs away.

He stays still for a minute or two, before reaching his uninjured arm over to touch the bandaged one. “What..happened?” He said, after a moment.

“Poisoned.” Celia spoke, glancing off to the side. “You, I mean. You were poisoned..” she drifted off, speaking up only moments later. “Are you feeling alright?”

Radi sinks into the couch a bit more, sighing. “Yeah, I think I’ll do alright…”

It didn’t look like it had too big of an effect on him. That was good enough for her. And given that it was a small effect, it was probably next to nothing on her if she’d been poisoned in the first place.
Wait. Why do I care? Even just a little bit?
The thoughts showed up briefly in Celia’s mind, though she did not linger on them. Celia’s hand twitched absentmindedly, and she moved her other hand to holding her arm.

Radi sits up, feeling the soreness in his arm right away. It’ll probably be like this for a few days.
And he’s still hungry, to make matters worse. Radi doesn’t say much, but it doesn’t take a good eye to see the visible uncomfortableness that radiates from his being.

“We never managed to get anything to eat, did we?” Celia mumbles after a while, probably result of noticing his discomfort. “Do you not have anything here?”

“Not really.” Radi answers right away.
