Jeff Guard fidgeted, holding his arm close to his side. Would it be fine? It didn’t feel fine. Maybe he could tell Jewel Guard?
She wouldn’t be able to do anything… Plus she didn’t deserv—
HIs arm pulsed. He grimaced, quickly glancing around. No one say the reaction. That was good, at least with his current shift he didn’t have to hide it so much. Maybe Knight Guard? No, he would probably see him as weak.
Jeff Guard leaned his head against the back wall. It shouldn’t be that big of a deal, sure he was hurt— HIs arm spasmed, His fist clutched tightly against his arm. But technically there was a healing bay, he shou— but he knew better than that. He hadn’t even been able to keep his lower soldier rank, even without people knowing. He was to… Useless he knew it they all knew it. He was too soft, too
“I don’t know” He whispered to himself.
Herbs? he riffled through his satchel again, knowing full well nothing he could find could fix the problem he had. He didn’t know enough, he didn’t…
His breath came out in short bursts eyes squeezing tight.
There was no way he would keep this up, but if he didn’t he would be even more useless. his brain went through the options again, Jewel Guard, Knight Guard, ignoring it. None of them would work. None of his herbs could help, what was this? a broken arm? Who knew honestly.
Maybe that herb ball he had made could have at least helped calm it down? No, no he didn’t regret giving it to that girl, she obviously was having a rough day, and her dragon almost got smashed, plus Dragon Riders were more important than Guards. They had been really sweet, They honestly reminded him of Guard Guard, back when they talked more.
He winced again, looking up at the-- sunset? he just started his last shift it shouldn’t be…?
It was long past time for him to go home.
Jeff pulled himself up, careful not to hurt or tweak, or move the arm really, as he stood up. There was no way he would sleep like this, especially if it kept getting worse. His brain rehashed his options again looking for some out of the predicament. Nothing.
except, Guard Guard was in a different district. he couldn’t get in trouble, unless, but he was off the clock right? Plus he would only talk to Guard Guard no one else.
He nodded to himself hobbling out of town.
