maybe i'm foolish. maybe i'm blind. thinking i can see through this and see what's behind. got no way to prove it so maybe i'm blind. but i'm only human after all. i'm only human after all. don't put your blame on me.

mistake, mistake, mistake. the word kept REPEATING in kane’s mind as he made his way through dracborough with his hood up over his head. there wasn’t anyone after the healer but he still needed to be CAUTIOUS. the letter was clutched in his hand as he found the inn that was scribbled on the page, crumpled so tightly in his hand, as he pulled the doors opened. his hood fell back as he ignored the other people in the inn, going straight for the room that he knew purnelle would be in. a short knock, then another, two more after that. “ purnelle. ” his voice rough as he spoke through the door, waiting for her. / @pvrnelle

           she’d been making her rounds, saying goodbye to people but what really mattered was that kane came along with her. anya wouldn’t be able to leave without the healer. so as she knocked on the door to give him a warning before entering, she smiled brightly upon seeing him already packing. “good, you’re already packing !!” but then her lips seal as she listens to him speak. work ?? the nurse takes a step closer to her friend, shutting the door behind her. “work ? where will you be working ?”

kane almost immediately went back to his work station. if he were to make as many poisons quickly, he’d need the best ingredients. the labels written in code that only he understood with their drawings to match scattered in front of him as he tried to sort through them. “ the castle, anya. ” he turned to look at his friend, lips spreading into a large smile that rarely graced his face. “ the king has asked me to report to the castle immediately. i need to get started as soon as possible. he wants me to work as my father did. i’ve waited so long for this. i simply can’t believe it. ” his head shook quickly as he picked up a couple more bottles, putting them in the boxes he was packing. 

[healkane]

KANE HAD TO PACK. he knew that there was much to be done once he actually got to the castle. octavius had already requested the healer make as many poisons as he could for higher members of the army to have on them, just in case, and his energy was making him practically shake with excitement. this is everything he’d ever wanted. the falkreath family name was finally being recognized once more. the knock on the door came to no surprise to him, what was surprising was that it was anya on the other side. “ come in, come in. have you heard the news? positively brilliant, you know? finally i get to work, actually work anya, and do what i love. ” / @casscl

casscl:

as comfortable as it is to be home in ironhaven, she longed for all the people she’d met during her plenty of voyages. she’d taken some stale bread from the the tavern bins and sat outside, despite the rainfall. anya pulls at the bread– hard as it may be– before throwing it to the birds that waddle on the ground before her. the crunching of steps on the pebbles causes her head to whip up in surprise. “oh ! did you come to feed the birds as well ??”

“ why would i come to feed the birds? they’re supposed to feed themselves. the nature of life, anya. you shouldn’t disrupt it with bread pieces. ” kane spoke as he approached the girl, seeing how quickly she could get frightened just from the footsteps of another. he didn’t understand how someone could be so scared. the healer moved so that he could sit next to his friend, looking at the sky instead of the birds. “ being home is strange. how can home be so strange? maybe it isn’t really home. ”

magnus-blackhart:

Truth be told, Magnus had just a vague idea of who this man was but he was sure he had seen him around many times and since he was from Ironhaven that was enough for the prince. “I am very glad to be home, I had missed and well I also think we were away too long.” He was very glad that everything seemed to be perfectly fine in the Kingdom.

the healer nodded with his words, looking over at the prince before he spoke. “ i think that i have to agree with you on that one, prince. we have been away for far too long. ” a small shake of his head and kane took a moment to realize that he had only really interacted with the other members of royalty, not magnus himself. “ i’m kane, a healer in your region. i don’t believe we’ve met before. ”

magnus-blackhart:

Magnus was extremely pleased to be back, it was just great to be in his kingdom, away from annoyances and though he would miss some people but at least the ones he liked most where here with him so everything was fine now at least for the time being. He smiled when he saw one of those people and walked behind her. “Hey, are you glad to be back home?”

kane didn’t really feel anything being back in ironhaven. yes, it was home, but there was no attachment that kane truly had to the kingdom as a whole. just to his little home converted to mainly a greenhouse. he looked up when he heard a familiar voice, the prince of the very kingdom his mind was stuck on. ‘ i suppose i can say that i’m glad. my home seems to be in good order, so what more could i ask for? are you glad to be back, prince? ’ the healer slowed his pace, his feet matching the prince’s steps easily.

pvrnelle:

                 well, kane has a point. as she kneels at his side, she pauses to close her eyes and take a deep breathe. when they reopen, she’s greeted by the dumb smile on kane’s stupid face. she wants to bat him in the arm but that would probably be detrimental to the cause of patching him up. “ i feel like you’re laughing at me, “ she says miserably. “ truthfully, i don’t know. “ she says, taking his arm. taking the first cloth, she begins wiping the blood from his hand. “ that was a whole lot of instructions. “

‘ i am laughing at you a bit. you handle the unexpected extremely poorly. you must try to get better at that. ’ kane said the words simply, as if he was describing the weather to purnelle and nothing more. it was only because she started working on his hand that he felt so comfortable to be honest. she seemed out of the realm of passing out finally. ‘ i don’t intend for it be malicious though. it’s just humorous. ’ his smile spread across his lips again, looking at the girl from the odd angle he was sitting at. she was taller and that threw him off. ‘ it was a very simple instructions. clean, apply, wrap. you can do it. ’

[healkane]

pvrnelle:

                 purnelle gave a frustrated groan as she turned back to the bottles. “ take a breath ?? “ she echoed, the panic in her voice evident. “ you want me to breathe ?? “ it was hard to calm down when there was a man bleeding to death and he was going dellusional, to the point in which he was laughing. “ i can breathe. i can look at the pictures. i can find – “ apparently kane was as much an artist as he was a calligrapher. at least, he could colour inside the lines. “ lavender. oh !! “ she gasped, grabbing the bottle and the handful cloth and running back to his side. “ look !! i found it. “

‘ yes, i’d love for you to breathe. when someone gets this hysterical, if they don’t breathe - they pass out. i won’t be able to get this cut cleaned if you pass out. ’ kane held out his arm more when she came closer to him, a small grin across his lips. the bleeding was getting a bit worse, but he’d be good. he always was. ‘ clean my hand with the cloth first, we have to wipe away all the excess blood so you can apply the salve. the salve will take away some of the pain and actually heal it a bit. then wrap it with another cloth and tie that one on my hand. think you can do it for me, pur? ’

[healkane]

pvrnelle:

                 “ ha, “ she laughs weakly. she can feel herself blanche as she sees the true extent of the injury. suddenly, the flower is not so pretty. purnelle feels herself nodding weakly, stepping away from the scene to his bag. she feels around with shaking hands before pulling out a handful of cloth. her hands fumbled around the bag for another moment and finds a collection of bottles. her eyes scanned over them quickly. then, again. then, again. then, frustrated, purnelle looked over at kane. “ i can’t read any of this !! “

kane really did not want to laugh. he REALLY did not want to laugh. but as purnelle burst out in frustration when she couldn’t read anything, his laugh bubbled in his chest and threatened to break out. a small one, a simple one that said i’m not laughing at you but my hand is bleeding profusely. ‘ purnelle, love. please take a deep breath for me and look at the pictures. the lavender one has a small drawing of the flower on it. which is purple, by the way. ’ his lips pressed together in a thin line, attempting to stop himself from laughing again.

pvrnelle:

                  ‘ stay safe , ‘ she had chimed happily as she left earlier. the girl had stepped out for ten minutes – maybe less – just to grab some lunch for the two of them. they had both in fairly high spirits thanks to the beautiful flower that kane had found. and as she returned to kane’s makeshift lab, purnelle couldn’t help but hum a quiet little tune as she carried the basket of ale and sandwiches. as she opened the door, the sight that greeted her was extremely unfriendly. she felt as if she’d have a heart attack. “ oh my gods !! “ she gasped, putting the basket on the table before rushing over to his side. “ that is a great deal of blood. “

kane rested his elbow on his leg, holding his hand up to make sure that he doesn’t get blood on any of his clothes. he didn’t need that mix up to happen again. ‘ you would think there would be more since i have nothing to actually stopping it. ’ his eyes looked up at purnelle, lips curling into a grin as she looked down at his hand. the girl was surely in over her head at this point. ‘ stop staring at the blood, pur. i need you to go over to my bag. get out a couple spare pieces of cloth and the bottle labeled lavender salve. ’

[healkane]

the venus fly trap was something out of an ancient book. kane peered down at the plant with utter confusion and fascination. could this plant hold any sort of healing property or was it just simply one of mother nature’s beauties? his hand moved over the open of the flower, two giant leaf like petals with razor sharp edges, and hesitated for a moment. the minute you hesitate, you’re in trouble. the petals quickly closed on his hand and kane yelled out in pain. the edges digging into his skin, he could already see the blood seeping from it, and he had to act quickly. taking the closest tool he could grab, he pried his hand free from the petals just as the door to his pseudo-lab opened. ‘ funny story, well actually probably won’t be very funny to you but i certainly think it deserves a chuckle or two. this flower just bit me. and i need your help. ’ @pvrnelle

new boots squeaked on the polished floor, and a perfectly-tailored coat was straightened onto proudly squared, wide shoulders. the newly appointed duke was making his way to the dining hall for breakfast — something he had never done before. he had always eaten in the stables, or in the kitchens; not because he wasn’t allowed to eat in the castle, but because he didn’t like the looks of disdain his presence would bring. he entered the hall with a smile and his chin held high — even though he wasn’t at all sure all of the reactions to his change in status would be positive. he sat down without worrying about who was near him, and he smiled in their direction. “good morning to you. a beautiful day, aye?”

kane had forgotten to eat. there had been at least a day passing by entirely before he remembered to eat and that  led him to the dining hall. normally kane would squander himself away to eat. not because he didn’t feel comfortable around other people from a different kingdom, he just didn’t care for people in general. kane didn’t do well with other people. the chair next to made a loud noise announcing the arrival of someone new and it made the healer glance up from his food, ‘ beautiful to some, horrible to others. it’s just another day to me. ’

[healkane]

pvrnelle:

                    it’s one thing to have an idea, and another to actually execute it. but still, it wouldn’t hurt to extend a helping hand and she really does want to help him out. purnelle is silent for a moment, thinking. finally, she says, “ i could do it. “ her thin shoulders shrug, “ i could write out your research. my days are hardly full and teaching requires one have legible writing. it’d hardly be a burden to me and you’re research seems far more interesting than making lesson plans to teach a grown boy. “ 

the girl’s words made him pause. his hands stilling on the plant, putting it near him so that the warmth would still be shared between the two. ‘ you don’t even know my name. ’ kane spoke the words slowly, his head tilting to side as he really took a look at her. there was a chance they’d met before, but he didn’t know her name. ‘ how are you so sure that i’m not someone that will use that too my advantage? this is an awfully big task to take on. ’
