She slowed up enough for him to actually keep up, moving through the brush like she knew exactly where she was and where she was going...But when you trained with Leon and Spike you learned some weird shit..Like how to find your way out of the middle of fucking nowhere....Gah! That had been horrible.....
Anyway, she eventually neared the tree line that opened up to reveal the schools dormitories. Tugging him lightly, and slowly out of the brush she moved to the front entrance....Once inside she looked at the stairs, the path she usually took because it was good exercise.......
Sure, he could use it, but at the same time, he was all sorts of busted up.....Sooo yeah....elevator time!!! As much as she hated it.
Pushing the button she had released his wrist and once more stuck her hand in her pocket, watching the numbers at the top of the elevator change as it came down from the third floor to the second.....Big school, big dorms....heh...
It didnt take long for her to climb through the sliding doors and push the 2 button...Making sure he made it in without the doors like...closing on him or something, and then as the reached the second floor she pulled her hand out of her pocket and slid her fingers into the band wrapped about her wrist.....Producing a key from it.....
In her mind it was the safest place..cause yeah..you would have to chop her arm off to get the band from her....Then kill her...before she killed you.....
Four doors down the hall, she finally stopped and slid the key into the lock, turning the knob to produce a not so girly looking room.
"Yeah dont mind the mess. I sorta have a thing about cleaning lately...."
Her clothes littered the floor in front of the closet, there were empty pizza boxes on the table and her bed was totally unmade...Not to mention the television, which she never turned off was still blaring...Some stupid sitcom rerun playing.....
Once inside she grabbed up the phone....Tossing the key into a bowl on the table beside the door.....
"So what's your pleasure?"
Dialing the pizza places number, which she knew by heart before moving over to the fridge and grabbing out a slice of....you guessed it...cold pizza and two sodas.......
Tossing him one she then popped open her own, a mouth full of pizza now in place as she put in the order......Whatever it was...Her fave being meat lovers and cheese lovers specials...Nummy!!!! Then something for him.....Not really caring she was talking with her mouth full.........
yeah sooooo lady like...heh
Once the order was done she pushed the end call button and set her soda down on the coffee table, motioning to the bed....
"Go on, sit...just..you know..Move shit out of the way if you want....I will get the stuff to fix you up..."
Disappearing into the bathroom for a bit....Cause yeah, she so needed out of these clothes!!

Being dragged along wasn't the worst of things so long as it wasn't into another class or a prison cell. So when he came along the fine establishment of a housing development he was certainly in awe. Never had he been to a home, lest one that was decently placed. His own, "Home" was in the middle of downtown where you were more likely to find a grand assortment of heavily boozed up drunks and gang-bangers than you would an honest establishment, here it looked as if you could leave your doors unlocked....like Canada. As Astrid revealed the key it seemed that wasn't the case but dragged him into the room to.
"Yeah dont mind the mess. I sorta have a thing about cleaning lately...."
"LOL Riiiiiight.."
He'd roll his eyes, perhaps it was a mess to her but to him this was perhaps heaven. Where he'd been there were needles spread out in a messy room, trash everywhere, glass, broken bottles and condoms. In the home a messy room could get you killed.
"So what's your pleasure?"
"Ummm food?" He'd say innocently not implying that any specifics would truly matter always being quite the fan of pepperoni but only managing to find left-over anchovy Pizza which he didn't like at first but over time the taste dulled down.
A pizza tossed his way. cold no doubt but Guy didn't pay mind to that his mind was rather consumed with the fact it was still perfect, unbitten into, no scrapes of trash dousing it completely normal.
*nomnomnomnom*
Gone in an instant as he settled in the corner knowing he wouldn't be touching anything there he'd settle normally, calm and controlled.
A motion from her signalling for him to sit on the bed. Awkwardly looking about as though there was another person in the room he'd slowly rise just enough to slink over dropping his weight onto the bed at a cautious corner. Again careful to make sure needles didn't like the bed or an off spring that'd stab him. for in a messy room things could kill you.
"Go on, sit...just..you know..Move shit out of the way if you want....I will get the stuff to fix you up..."
"You sure? I'll try not to be any trouble.." He'd say consciously looking about as the smell of the room was nice, not at all the vomit ridden sheets, no urine stains, it was clean. No danger?
He'd fall over backwards landing at the flat of his back with a flinch expecting the stab to be deep but rather he was met with comfort and calmness.
"ooooo..." He felt himself rubbing the sheets like a cat or dog would do.

Astrid sorta made an effort to shut the bathroom door, though not really, just a gentle nudge with her foot...And yeah thats about it...Only closing the door part of the way....
First thing first....She pulled off her jeans, leaving her in a pair of boy short underwear....and then came the top...Yeah that was so much better....
She then went about pulling on a pair of jammy shorts and an extra large t-shirt which went down to about her knees. Yeah mens clothes rocked!!!
Once she was situated, she grabbed a hair clip from the back of the sink, pulling back her hair and twisting it up behind her head...The clip used to secure it into place.
The only thing she did not take of was the band about her arm...But then yeah....Never came off.....
Anyways...soon enough she opened the cabinet under the sink, which looked like a storage locker at a hospital....Rummaging through it, she dug out a bandage for busted ribs, a little meds for scrapes and bruises that she got from her family that helped to dull the pain down....and a rag......Which she ran under the warm water once she was upright again......
Not bothering to close the cabinet, cause she was just that lazy...she then turned and made her way back into the room he was currently...the only real room there was.....
He had laid down on her bed, and the way he was acting was like he had never seen or felt anything like it...It was enough to make her wonder bout his life but not enough to make her pry...Not yet at least......
As she moved over to him, she leaned down, her body next to his as she reached toward the area his head was....A light pull before she stood back up and held her bra on her finger by the strap.....
"Yeah didnt think ya wanted that in your face."
She then just tossed it over her shoulder and set the stuff she had down, save for the rag....
"Alright, shirt off...Lets get you fixed up....When I am done with you, you will feel ten times better."
Curling one leg up as she plopped down on the side of the bed facing him, her other planted upon the floor.....

"Yeah didnt think ya wanted that in your face."
Guy eyed the bra, Bra's meant bewbies and bewbies were good. His cheeks went a rose color revealing his rather perverse imagination though never once imagining Astrid in them but rather a super model, or Ms. V for that matter.
"I'm sure Ms. V could fill those out." He laughed a bit trying not to jostle too much for fear of the springs lurching out of the bed and jabbing at his insides.
"Alright, shirt off...Lets get you fixed up....When I am done with you, you will feel ten times better."
Guy stared her down shortly, his arm reaching over his frame to cover over his bruised ribs. A slight flinch to the touch as he did so.
"Nah, I'm alright, Really I'll be fine in a few days."
Stubborn as it was, he didn't necessarily trust healers, in his world they'd all been too swift to inject you with things that made the mind bleary, often times resulting in a cure that was far worse than its worth.

She laughed at his comment about Ms. V and nodded.
"Oh yeah, she is freaking hot. Nice rack indeed."
She then shifted a bit on the bed to make herself more comfortable as she noted the way he protectively covered his ribs and flinched in the process, her brow raising as he refused to let her take care of him........Only bringing more questions to mind, but yeah, she was stubborn to...sooooo
"Come on. I promise I wont hurt you. I was taught well how to do this growing up. In fact it was the main focus of my upbringing...."
She spoke the words in an idle fashion but then she realized what she was doing and shook her head.....Her hand raising that hand the damp, still warm cloth in it....
"See? Just a rag..No harm in that right?"
She then waited...She wasn't gonna let up, but she had this nagging feeling that there was something she was missing...and she hated that feeling. But there would be time to figure that out later.
For now she needed to get his ass taken care of. She knew how much a set of ribs not repaired properly could fuck you up for the rest of your life. One of her cousins had made that mistake...They were forever his weakness....And yeah...Guy didnt seem to need any more weakness atm.....

"Come on. I promise I wont hurt you. I was taught well how to do this growing up. In fact it was the main focus of my upbringing...."
His eyes narrowed cautiously on Astrid making sure she was being truthfully honest, though being him he really couldn't tell who was a bad guy and a good guy anyways.
"See? Just a rag..No harm in that right?"
"Fine, you win...."
With a last little glare he'd lift the shirt cautiously enough to make sure that the bruises didn't split and grow with more pain as he did so. With a low grunt he'd manage the feat laying there a bit unable to move as the pain took hold. Yup his ribs were broken. Kevala's onslaught had been a brutal one.
"Be gentle..." He'd smile managing to set aside the pain as he averted his glance unwilling to see what she did.

She could have winced as she watched him if her training had taught her to just sit by and remain calm and collected. It was after all tradition in their clan to raise the daughters with the specific purpose of taking care of their warrior husbands. Bleh......
Finally as his shirt was removed and she got a good look at him, she felt this tugging in her stomach....Something was VERY off about this guys life...Not just the way that Kevala had kicked his ass, that was pretty much to be expected of that bitch...But just him in general.....
Shaking her head, she smiled, even though he couldn't see it and nodded.
"Of course...."
And so she inched a bit closer, not hard on a simple double bed, but yeah, then with the lightest of touches she brushed the rag slowly against the bruises and over his ribs, her fingers which were not covered with the rag flowing along behind it to check for the breaks...Yup...there they were......
Inside she was willing to beat that bitches ass just for the sake of what she had done to this guy...I mean come on.....But then she knew she couldn't..Not yet....
Anyways, she kept her mind focused on him at the moment, cleaning the area, which seemingly needed it, though she was guessing their little climb through the trees and then his fall were the cause for that......
It only took a moment before she set the rag down and drew forth the container, twisting open the lid and letting her fingers become coated in the mixture......
Then, with a hesitant, yet gentle touch, she slowly applied it to his ribs, and every bruise she could see....Knowing that the effects would take hold almost instantly. It was a mixture of things her family had come up with back when the clan was large and the battles were never ending.....It had a numbing agent in it as well as a healing agent which would help to clear the bruises up a bit faster than usual......
Pulling her hand back, making sure she had gotten everything, she then wiped her hand on her shirt and sighed softly....
"There, that should be making you feel better. Once you are ready, you can sit up and I can wrap your ribs, to ensure they heal right."
Her smile ever present, trying to reassure him, since he apparently had issues with people trying to help him....Hoping she had not hurt him all that much or anything.

"Of course...."
A silent promise, at least thats what it was to Guy, naive to most things in life he'd go willing with just about whatever someone else would say. Perhaps thats why he'd ended up in such a lifestyle he was in now. Stuck between bliss, and complete havoc.
He flinched away from her touch despite the carefulness she put forward. He'd hiss and moan twinging away at the pain of ribs despite the fact that her touch hadn't caused any of the pain, but rather it was his flinching that did it.
"There, that should be making you feel better. Once you are ready, you can sit up and I can wrap your ribs, to ensure they heal right."
"Wait thats it?"
He'd say realizing the hard part was over, until of course there was no real hard part involved. A silly little smile as he rolled hastily to his side groaning at the pain to his ribs but getting up all the same.
"Right-o Doc get me patched up." He'd salute her in a completely joking manner.

She would smile as he sat up, that joking manner something she knew that he did despite the pain he was in, something she was starting to like about him....A lot...He was a pretty cool guy.
When he finally sat up, she nodded, a little laugh escaping her at the salute as she shook her head and grabbed the wrap....
"Trust me, I am like the furthest thing from a doctor..and that stuff is just something my family created many many years ago."
She shrugged, sliding off the bed so that she could kneel before him, that way her eyes were level with his ribs and she could properly bandage his ribs....
"This may sting just a bit..but yeah it will help in the long run..."
She then began to wrap the thing about him, having to lean in and nearly press her head to his chest to get her slender arms about his waist in order to do such....then pulling back as she made sure to secure the bandage properly.....
When she was done, she would sit back, her rear resting on the heels of her feet and look up at him......That smile on her face once more....
"There, that should help. Now, what movie you wanna watch?"
Already up and over at the huge collection of DVDs she had, eyes scanning over them listening for any suggestions.

Guy grunted slightly keeping his hands above his head to discourage himself from shooting them downward and yanking Astrid's medical touch. The pain was sharp and hoarse stinging at his midsection begging for him to die, though in the fight he didn't remember the pain being this bad. Something about adrenaline he never quite learned but now he was developing a second sense for things. Learn from your mistakes seamed to be a trend round here.
"Ack-"
Then she'd finished up merrily skipping away yet holding some sort of facade about not really caring much, Guy supposed thats what he was beginning to like about Astrid, she was down to earth not as judgmental as the others at school had been, perhaps thats the reason for his ditching behavior.
"Ummm I don't know of any," He managed a bit shyly and starstruck at the fact that he was so out of trends the last movie he saw was probably star wars a personal favorite of his that he'd seen while in the home. "Yea you choose I'll be happy with whatever."
A smile nonetheless feeling a bit out of place where he was here. He didn't belong in this world, one he didn't understand and quite honestly feared. There was much more needed he needed to see this world.

Well then, something about his tone struck her hard in her chest...She wanted to act like it did such, but at the same time she just didn't want to make him feel like an idiot.
"Hmm...okay then....Lets see......"
It only took her a minute to grab up one of the most epix movies ever made....300.....yesh....she was lovin' that movie......
Slipping it into the DVD, she closed the lid just as the knock sounded at her door.
"Go ahead and relax some, I will grab the foods and then we will watch this totally awesome movie."
She flashed him a smile and then headed off toward the door. After she had opened the door, paid for the pizza, and managed to slam the door in the guys face...She headed to the fridge, grabbed a six pack of sodas and then the cabinet where she grabbed a bag of chips......
What? She ate alot......
Anyways, soon enough, and playing the balance game, she set everything down at the foot of her bed and then looked at him....Assuming he had stayed in place and motioned for him to scoot. If he had moved she would get into the side of her bed that pressed her into a corner and patted the part next to her motioning for him to sit......
Then grabbing the remote, she hit play and then set about pulling forth the box of pizza, flinging it open so they could both get what they wanted, handing him a soda and then opening the chips.....
"Dig in Mr. Cool...Oh and pay attention. This movie is awesome."

"Go ahead and relax some, I will grab the foods and then we will watch this totally awesome movie."
Guy grinned back in return, this guy was cool. No one had ever let him into their house, to most people he was just a raggedy starving fool who was out to ransack them or would go nowhere in life. Now he supposed he could call her friend.
"Dig in Mr. Cool...Oh and pay attention. This movie is awesome."
"Sweeet." He'd grin nomming down whatever he could manage making a bit of noise as he did so looking to her to make sure that it was alright to do so. Which he'd more than likely get a scolding, at least thats what he got at home from the nurses.
*Time Skip*
About two and a half hours later Guy was found next to Astrid on the floor in front of the TV his stomach sprawled out along the floor and his legs arched back behind him kicking to and fro with the beat of the end scene's musical ensemble. A dazed expression on his face as though transfixed by Leonidas' motions.
"WAIT WHAT THE HERO DIES!?!?! WHAT IS THIS?!" Guy flailed in disbelief however unable to avert his eyes away.
"BUT LEONIDAS IS SOOOOO COOL HE CAN'T DIE!"
*time skip*
A few minutes later.....
"Oh I get it... the Spartans just come back and beat the bad guys in the end... justice." He grinned with a childish mannerism to himself still transfixed by the power of the television.

Astrid had eventually pushed the empty pizza boxes off onto the floor and as he moved to lay in front of the television she had laid down on her bed, her head at that foot of the bed and her feet stuffed under her pillows.....
With her head propped up by her hands she turned those oceanic blue eyes to look at him as he noted the death of oh so hawt hero....A little grin coming to her face as then finally, toward the end, he caught on......
"Sometimes the truly great must die in order for justice and peace to won."
She spoke the words as her mind flashed back to thoughts of Uncle Leon. Yeah, sadness flashed through her but she just locked it away once more....
Then as the ending credits rolled, she grabbed up the remote and hit the end button, the screen going blue as she rolled off the bed and smiled...
"Pretty cool huh? Got plenty more if you ever wanna drop by and watch a few..."
She wasn't sure this guy would ever wanna step foot in her place again. She was not the best at making friends and yeah.....She figured just one day of being nice to a guy didnt mean he would except you as his buddy.
Either way she rose to stand, her eyes going to the clock. School had well ended and she cast him a sheepish glance.
"You wont get in trouble with your 'rents for being late right? I mean yeah, sorry to keep you so long but you are pretty cool to hang with."
She shrugged and headed to the fridge again, grabbing another soda.....Yeah she had an addiction to caffeine to. So sue her.

"You wont get in trouble with your 'rents for being late right? I mean yeah, sorry to keep you so long but you are pretty cool to hang with."
Guy would peel around looking up at Astrid innocently enough at her question. The thought racing through his mind to tell her the truth or lie. She'd been a nice enough person and he didn't want to make her feel bad for asking a question, not to mention a concerned question one for his wellbeing. But of course his mind flashed back to a book that was read to him in the home. Friends don't lie to one another.
"I don't have any parents... I live in the Home downtown."
He shrugged innocently watching her move about still slightly enamored by the blaring tv in the background despite being off it still rang with a low audible noise.
"Nobody really cares if I come or go." He'd lean back onto his palm staring at the tv again absently distracted.

She stopped what she was doing and just stood there a moment...her tone soft, just barely enough to be heard.....
"Yeah, my parents are gone to...."
A flashback of that night running through her mind as she closed her eyes and fought it back, shaking her head ever so slightly before she turned to face him. That smile on her face and any hint of distress or pain gone from her expression.
"Well then, you wanna go home or wanna watch another movie or what?"
She didnt know the kind of place he lived in, and from what she had been told some of them were pretty nice. So yeah, in her mind, where things could not always be so bad, it couldnt be a bad place.
Though she doubted that he wanted to stay there with her any longer than he had to. She was just a girl after all and besides that....two years at her old school and not a friend to show for it.....
Absent mindedly she brushed her hand over the band about her wrist....She missed her Father so much.......At least he always made her feel like she mattered......
Moving again, she plopped back down onto the bed, sitting there as she waited on him to reply....
