Bane smiled at the little wolf. “You have a lot to learn. Would you like me to teach you?” Bane looked at the pup a for a few seconds. He laid himself down and rested his head upon the soft grass. “Thanks, little one.. for the comfort. But I think Devon would be worried if you didn’t return to his side. He must be like a parental figure to you” He closed his eyes, trying to breathe, but the pain in his chest made it difficult. Bruising had swelled up around the site, the surface level wounds had closed up. He went relaxed, his head rolling to the side. Bane was trying to keep the pain minimal by staying still. He then went slack, he grip on the pups hand loosened. He passed out from exhaustion.
Kai looked around worried, he felt bad that he couldn't call out to anyone, couldn't get help… its why his family had left him…because he was 'useless', 'broken'. He huffed and patted Banes head, trying to make the hellhound feel better until someone arrived. He heard footsteps heading his way, and turned to see who or what it was.
Devon came through the trees, and went over to Bane, he had followed Naize. Devon looked at Kai, ruffling the pups hair, "He'll be alright bud, its just a scratch" he said, in attempt to make Kai feel better, he could tell something was bothering the pup, and Dev could easily guess what, he knew Kai being mute had caused the kid problems in the past, it was part of the reason Devon pitted kai.
Devon walked over to Bane, he poked the hellhounds face, trying to wake him up…or see if he would wake up.
The lyer cat paced stressfully, her tail flicking and soft whines emitted from her
Bane twitched, opening his eyes for a few seconds before closing them again. He was exhausted mentally, but he weakly grabbed Devon's hand. He wanted Devon to stop poking him in the face. "I have no energy." He mumbled, barely audible. His body spent it all in healing the chest wound. Bane looked pale, and the bruises on his chest were nasty. "I'll be okay." He said quietly, his consciousness waning once again.
"well I am not carrying you, so I can help you walk back or you can lay here until you feel better." Devon shrugged.
Kai petted Naize, trying to make her feel better.
Naize heard bane, her eyes glowing as she gave energy she got from the sun to bane
Bane opened his eyes again and looked up at Devon. "Well, if you could help get to a bed, that would be great. I'd like to rest." He did his best to sit up and pat Naize. "You don't have to do that, little kitty. I'll be alright. It's better I rest." He reached out to Devon, trying to get on his feet. God, it felt like a chore to him. "Come on little wolf. Don't want to leave you behind." He leaned on Devon as he steadily walked back home.
Devon helped Bane up, wrapping his wing around to support or protect them. He sighed, grabbing Kai's hand, "Lets go"
Bane walked back home. Once they entered the house, he glanced around with one thing on his mind. Warm bed. He headed in the direction of his bedroom, dragging Devon along. The desire for a nap was strong in him and once they entered the room, he let go of Devon and flopped onto the bed. He situated himself on his back. "Thank you." He closed his eyes and lost consciousness again.
Devon gave Bane a thumbs up, and left to go to Osiris.
Kai sat down on the foot of the bed, patting and comforting Bane. He then shifted, and rested his head on banes lap.
Osiris saw Devon come back and got excited. “Where did you go? Wait—you’re still helping Bane after all he’s done to you? Strange.” His tail was wagging fast. “What happened to him? He looked dead.” Questions, questions. “Are you going to tell his girlfriend?” More questions from the inquisitive Hellhound.
Naize went up to Osiris, needing help to change back into her fluffy bobcat form
Osiris looked down at the strange critter. He gave her a little pat on the head, unsure what to do. “Couldn't you nuzzle cuz’s hand or something?” He kneeled next to the cat and kept petting her. “You’re a strange kitty. Aren't you. What am I supposed to do? Tell you it's okay or pet you?” He sighs and continues to comfort the kitty. “I'm sure cuz will be okay. It's not like death is in the air.”
Naize moved her head into his hand, purring and shifting back. Eventually, she jumped into his arms. It was quite funny. A good 250 pound cat in a mans arms
Osiris yelped and was knocked to the floor. "AH! CAT! You can't jump into my arms like that. You are a big kitty!" He moved Naize out of his arms and into his lap. He stroked the kitty cat. "You're a big kitty. I thought bobcats were small. You're lucky I can lift you." He giggled a bit. "Why were you all upset? I heard you yowling for miles. It was quite distressing."
Devon rubbed his head, "I need a break" He went to his room, flopping on the bed.
Naize shared her mind link with the hound "bane.. Bane is family.."
Osiris whined when Devon left, and he looked down at Naize. "Bane may be your family, but he is a nuisance to deal with. I don't understand the attachment toward him. He killed someone… How is a killer family? Didn't he also try to kill you…twice?" He couldn't understand Naize's attachment to his cousin, much less attachment to himself. "Why do you like us so much? We're no good beasts."
"I have no family other than you guys. I know not of the real definition of the family but it's the closest thing I have"
Devon came back, wrapping his arms around Osiris, his wings drooping, "Osie…I am tired…please give me attention" he muttered, half asleep.
Osiris titled his head. “I don’t know why I am your family. I have done nothing to you. Nice or bad. I am just a normal Hellhound with a demon boyfriend.” He sighed. “If Bane is family to you, shouldn’t you be at his side like the little wolf is? It would make sense than laying in my lap.” He continued to pet Naize. He smiled when Devon hugged him. “Well if you're sleepy, then take a nap, buttercup. Want me to lay with you while you fall asleep?” He kissed the boy on the cheek.

Bane stirred and opened his eyes. He felt the small mass in his lap and looked to see Kai’s head. “Hey, little wolf.” He petted the Pup's head. “I’ve only just met you and you’re glued to my hip.” He laughed. “Why is that little one? Can you try to tell me.. like through charades or signs?” Bane felt lonely and the wolf was company. This room was quite plain and his partner was missing. “Lis!” He called. He felt better after his nap, his body trying to repair the rest of the damage he sustained from the knife.
Naize growled softly "i caused his injury. If he hadn't found out he wouldn't be hurt.."
Kai's ears twitched, he nuzzled against Bane's hand. He wanted to comfort the hellhound, it wasn't that he was attached to Bane, he is just overly affectionate to people who accept him.
"yes, I want my boyfriend to sleep with me and cuddle me" Dev muttered, pressing his face into Osiris' shoulder.
Osiris stroked the cat. “It's not your fault kitty. He does stupid shit all the time. Nothing to worry about.” He smiled at Devon and put Naize down. “Then let's go. I'm a bit sleepy myself.” He stood up and helped the sleepy demon to his bed. Osiris laid him down and laid next to Devon.

Band giggled when Kai nuzzled his hand. “I hate being confined in bed, but if properly get yelled at if I was seen walking around.” He rolled his eyes. “I think I have enough energy to walk.” He snuggled into the sheets. “But I prefer the warm bed better. Don't you little wolf?”
Naize was dead silent coming into banes room, bouncing onto the bed a no.ent later and purring like a motor
