Cas nodded, rolling over to the man who was awake. "What's his name?" he asked, taking his bag off and reaching into it

"Liam," Eli said. "He came back from a mission in Tennessee saying he didn't feel right, and next thing you know, there's five of us down for the count."

"Odd. I would think a normal fever wouldn't do that," Cas commented. "What was he doing, if you don't mind my asking?" he said, grabbing an IV hookup full of water out of the bag. He turned away from Eli for a moment, giving the water the same effect that he had given the water he gave Eli before swapping it for the one already hooked to the man

"I think they were helping a little river town with a demon that was destroying their boats. Maybe somebody down there was sick, and he caught it from them?" Eli shrugged. "Medic says it's hard to treat sicknesses these days because antibiotics are so scarce and there's new mutations of the viruses every year. We can't keep up like we used to."

Cas nodded. "Viruses are finicky things." He made a mental note to do his best to help restock the camp's supply of medicine. After all, what use was a god of healing if they couldn't do their job? He stared at Liam for a moment before rolling over to the next bed over. "What about this one? Have they all been unconscious?"

(PFFFT that's beautiful XD)
"Yeah. They all got sick at once, a couple days after Liam. Lenny–he's the medic in charge–thinks it was because Liam helped in the kitchen that night. "I just got sick yesterday because I was helping out in here." Eli grinned ruefully. "Can you help them?"

Cas nodded. "I…I specialize in a sort of alternative medical practice that utilizes some techniques many people have never seen before. It can sometimes be taken badly, so I tend to work at home rather than in clinics and such."

Eli squinted. "Do you mean….like magic?"

Cas sighed. "Yes. I mean magic. Many people don't like it, especially if they're being healed by it. I tend to work on a summoned basis." (gtg for tonight, see ya)

(Okay, same)
Eli brightened. "Oh, well I don't mind! I think magic is cool. Our boss….eh…he's not a big fan of it, but if you save some lives, I'm sure he wouldn't mind."

Cas frowned a little. "Your boss? He was the one that invited me in. Though I guess he had no real idea what I was at the time."

"Wellll, he doesn't mind magic people, really. He just disapproves of using magic as a shortcut. You know, to make yourself stronger or faster or whatever. He says it's just like drugging yourself. But again, I don't think he'd be opposed to you healing us, especially since nothing else is working on us."

Cas nodded. "Where I'm from, magic is common. It's used every way you can think," he said, moving to swap some more of the bags for the IV's

"Huh. The only magic I've seen is the kind demons use, and it's not very friendly."

"Well, many of the demons where I'm from are usually far nicer than you would think. There are exceptions of course, such as my adopted nephew's father, but I can assure you I try not to use harmful magic." He suddenly felt something on his lip, and he realized a small nosebleee had started. He wiped it away and ignored it, going back to what he was doing

Eli noticed and started to ask what the matter was, but got interrupted when the curtain was pulled back and Mike came in.
"There you are," he said to Cas. "What are you doing? I thought you were going to radio your tracker friend."

Cas froze. "I…Your medic seemed overwhelmed. I was just trying to help," he said, bracing himself for Mike to start yelling at him, or worse

Mike appraised Cas, then glanced at Eli, then at the other unconscious hunters. "Thank-you," he said. "I'm sure Lenny appreciates it. Is there something you can do for these guys? I'm getting worried about them."
