Once she finished, she moved away from the girl, wiping blood off of her hands. "There, weirdo. You're all good. Quit screaming." Yeah, she had a terrible bedside manner. Whatever. The girl didn't understand her anyway. "I'm going to go join the other survivors. You better get back to your…tribe? City? Village?"
"?"
Celestia jumped, startled by the sudden appearance of a male and a young boy. Tentatively, she nodded.
"Um, yes," her eyes darted to the young boy whose leg was bleeding, and she bit her lip, taking hesitant steps towards the boy. "Can I… um… can I have a look?" she pointed to the wound. Although Celestia knew she wasn't a doctor, she could clean injuries and tie a bandage properly.
"Er, s-sure." Robin took his hands away from his leg, his heart pounding when he saw blood on his hands as well.
Celestia grabbed a spare bottle of water and took out a cloth from one of the bags she and Skye had taken from the plane. Soaking it in water, she removed the bloody bandage from the boy's leg and started to wipe it off.
"What's your name?" Celestia asked, trying to keep the boy distracted. "I'm Celestia. You can call me Cels if you'd like. That's Skye."
While she talked, she took out a medical kid.
Bless them for keeping these kits…
"This is going to hurt a little, okay?" Celestia murmured, taking out a disinfectant and a piece of cotton. "Thankfully, you don't need stitches, but make sure not to put weight on your leg for at least two days." she dabbed the cotton on the wound, biting her lip when the boy flinched. After she was finished, she carefully wrapped a bandage around his wound. "There you go… If there's anywhere you need to go, be it to relieve yourself or to get a breather, ask one of us to take you."
"M-my name is Robin. Have you seen my parents?" Robin had started to consider the possibility that his parents had been killed, and it brought tears to his eyes. This all just felt like a horrible nightmare, but it was real. This was a nightmare he couldn't wake up from in the morning.
"I haven't seen your parents yet," Celestia said carefully. "Skye and I haven't searched yet. You're the first two survivors we've actually found." she rubbed his head, feeling sad for the boy, but at the same time, she felt admiration for how he was handling this. Celestia hadn't had the time for the event to catch up to her yet; she tried keeping herself occupied, but Celestia knew she would be alone with her thoughts sooner or later. Robin was scared and terrified, but he was handling it nicely. However, she cursed the fates for ruining a young boy's life, for taking away his childhood at a very small age. She hoped he wouldn't isolate himself out of despair, but with the spark in his eyes, Celestia could tell he just needed support.
"Oh… t-thanks anyways…" Robin winced as his head gave a sharp jab of pain. It felt like he was starting to get a migraine, and he knew that wouldn't be good in this situation. He held his head in his hands, trying to get the pain to dissipate.
"You should rest," Celestia murmured. "You've lost blood. Here, eat an apple. You should sleep after you've finished it."
Robin nodded and ate the apple quietly in a corner, his legs drawn up to his chest. Don't cry don't cry don't cry…. They're… probably fine. He thought to himself, but there was also the voice of doubt in his mind. They're definitely dead, and now you're stuck on an island, injured, with people you don't know. His head throbbed again, and he just tried to ignore the pain to the best of his ability.
Celestia took a deep breath, trying not to think of her family. She thought of her boyfriend and how he was faring, no knowledge of whether she was alive or not. She thought of her sick mother and her stepfather, and she thought of her twin brother and two younger siblings.
No, Cels, this is not the time to be thinking about this, Celestia told herself, shaking her head slightly. The saner I remain, the quicker I'll get home.
Not wanting to leave Robin alone to his thoughts, Celestia sat down next to him. She said nothing and neither did Robin, but she still sat next to him to show him that he wasn't alone.
Robin glanced up at Celestia, his eyes shining with tears. He was glad that they were able to be in each others company, but also comfortably sit in silence. Well, comfortably as in the silence didn't seem awkward. Robin was still in quite a bit of pain. Eventually, he grew tired and fell asleep, leaning on Celestia's shoulder.
When Celestia felt a weight on her shoulder, she felt a little surprised, but relaxed when she realized it was only Robin. The boy had fallen asleep.
Celestia smiled softly.
He must've been tired… Celestia thought to herself, keeping still, making sure she wouldn't wake him up. She put an arm around his shoulders and laid him on her lap to make him comfortable, especially so he wouldn't wake up with an aching neck.
"Was it just the two of you, or are there more?" Celestia asked the older boy in a quiet voice.
(I assume you're talking to Fin?)
(I assume you're talking to Fin?)
(You assume correctly, but where is Fin?)
(I assume you're talking to Fin?)
(You assume correctly, but where is Fin?)
(Not sure)
(I assume you're talking to Fin?)

(Not sure)
(Oh well.)
(Hello? Fin? Help ussss)
(Hello? Fin? Help ussss)
(We need you!)
(Fiiiiiiiiiiiiiin)
//still open? cause I’m bored Nd no rps are active
//still open? cause I’m bored Nd no rps are active
(Yeah I think so)
(Sorry, I was asleep)
Fin replied, “No. There’s two girls somewhere on the beach. I’m about to head back to them, actually, and we think one of them is a native to the island.”
(Sorry, I was asleep)
Fin replied, “No. There’s two girls somewhere on the beach. I’m about to head back to them, actually, and we think one of them is a native to the island.”
(It's okay)
Celestia nodded.
"Native, huh…" she mused to herself. "Are they friendly?"
Skye stood up. "I'll come with you," she offered. "I need to do something to distract myself."
