Brigil blinked before standing up, her shoulders straight as she barked, "Erin! Get over here now!" A man in his mid-thirties came trotting over luging a black colored bag with him. Brigil took a step behind him as he knelt beside him and began to gently examine the head wound. She paled slightly when he removed her scarf, which was stained with blood. She grabbed his hand when his fumlbed on the sandly floor. She frowned outside at the storm at a particularly loud rumble. She dusted away the dust that fell on her head from the room and looked up doubtfully.
"Lady Audra, are you sure these caves will hold? As stupid a question that sounds...."

"Lady Audra, are you sure these caves will hold? As stupid a question that sounds...."
*Audra stared down at Gryffon, speaking softly so that not many people would hear her.* "I'm not sure of anything at the moment..." *Such a tangled web of emotions had been woven inside of her in mere minutes that Audra didn't know what she was doing any more. She kept trying to pull herself out of it as she had always done but was finding it much more difficult for some reason. Her eyes caught a small light toward the center of the cave and her head immediately snapped up. Alden had managed to get a fire started.* "We should move him closer to the fire... He needs to get dry and stay warm..."

Brigil nodded and grabbed him by the shoulders with a grunt. Come on ray. You had better wake up quick... With Audra's help she managed to half-drag, half-carry Gryffon over to the small fire.
She looked at Erin hard, "Well?? Whats the diagnostic Erin?" He pushed his long black hair back as he said, "Hes lucky that he didn't get hit any harder. We just have to keep him dry and warm." Brigil's voice faltered slightly, "What of.....what about his injuries?" A few other crew members added, "Aye. How soon will he be back up on his feet?"

"Aye. How soon will he be back up on his feet?"
*Audra didn't want to hear a doctor's answer to that question so she spoke up before he could.* "Gryffon's strong... He'll be back to normal in no time..." *I hope... She quickly left for a moment so that she wouldn't have to hear any more about Gryffon's injury... Instead she decided to work... Work kept her from thinking. She got a small metal pot from Alden and filled it with all the water that was in her own canteen. She returned to the fire and set the pot over it to allow the water to boil. She didn't want to take any chances of infection. She took two clean rags from the crew's supplies, tossing one of them to the surgeon that was tending to Gryffon.* "When the water's finished, make sure that wound of his is clean... I may not be your captain but I don't want to.. take any chances." *Audra's ears were deaf to any replies that she might have gotten. She simply took a seat by the fire, gingerly moving her broken arm in front of her so that she could examine it.*

Brigil wrapped the blanket around Gryffon's form tighter and looked over at Audra. She noticed the way she was gently and gingerly testing her arm. She tapped Erin on the shoulder and said gently, whilst pointing at Audra, "I think she may have hurt her shoulder. Please see to it. Thank you."
She sat beside Gryffon, in such a way that he was between her and the fire. She sandwiched his hand in between hers and raised it to her mouth, her mind feverently praying that her brother would get through this.
She looked up when Audra said, "No please. Its not necessary." Brigil spoke up when her eyes darted to hers, "Lady Audra, please let him see to your arm. It would be for your benefit."

*Audra winced slightly as she examined her forearm... It was bent slightly but it wasn't that easy to notice... Definitely broken... She looked up and frowned when the surgeon came near her.* "No please. Its not necessary."
"Lady Audra, please let him see to your arm. It would be for your benefit."
*Audra lowered her gaze for a moment, sighing softly.* "Fine but as soon as you're done you should go back to Gryffon and keep an eye on him..." *She flinched as the man gently lifted her arm, looking at it before checking her wrist for a pulse. Apparently not pleased with the results of such an examination, Audra knew what was coming next. She'd had one too many broken bones in the past...*
"Ready...?"
*Taking a deep breath, Audra turned her head away from him with a swift nod. A burst of white hot pain shot through her arm as he reset the bones. She cried out softly but quickly bit her lip, tears springing to her eyes. She quickly recovered and turned to face him again.* "Mmm... Yeah... Thanks. I can take it from here." *Audra quickly ripped her torn sleeve off of her shirt, using her rag to clean the few scratches on her arm. She set about making herself a sling for her arm, all the while shooting nervous glances at Gryffon...*

Gryffon groaned loudly as a faint light began to slip into is gaze. He opened his eyes and immediatly closed them with a heartfelt groan. God his head hurt so bad. He winced as he willed strength into his tired limbs and started to sit.
He was shocked when he found that he couldn't sit up and he heard a familiar voice saying, "Easy there Captain." He felt soft but sure hands helping him sit up and he slowly opened his eyes to see Brigil supporting him and Johnathan sitting in front of him. He blinked again and asked hoarsly, "What happened?"
An unfamiliar face said, "You got hit on the head pretty hard by a falling branch. We brought you to the caves as fast as we could." Brigil called over Audra as Gryffon winced and added, "Please not so loudly Bree."

*Audra's head immediately snapped up when Brigil called out to her. She scrambled to her feet, hurrying over to Gryffon and the others. She was surprised to see him sitting but couldn't help but feel relieved that he was awake... Suddenly a little uncomfortable, Audra stood back slightly, wondering if she should wait for those closest to him to speak with him before she did...*

Gryffon nodded at Audra and asked, "Other than my injury, I hope that no one else from the crews got hurt?" His eyes widened slightly when he saw her torn shirt and asked, "What happened? I hope that you didn't injure yourself."

Gryffon nodded at Audra as Brigil shifted behind him sligtly. "Why don't I go check on the others?" Gryffon nodded gratefully and added dryly, "Not like I can."
He gestured for Audra to come closer as he asked, "I hope that no else was injured other than me....." He stopped when he saw her expression and then her arm. He asked quickly, "Audra, you were not hurt bad were you?" His voice was colored with his concern for her.

"Audra, you were not hurt bad were you?"
*Audra was surprised at the amount of concern in his voice... She took a seat at his side, shaking her head.* "No... It's just a broken bone and a few scratches... You should worry about yourself right now, not me. I... Um... I mean we... want you to get well as soon as possible." *She paused a moment before quickly adding.* "I mean, your crew needs their captain." *She lowered her gaze for a moment, wondering why she was having such a difficult time with this. He was going to be fine... and still she stumbled over her words and couldn't keep her emotions in check.*

Gryffon raised an eyebrow at her sentence, his eyes travelling back to her arm. "I'll take your word for it. Although it seems quite bad. " He noted her slip and stayed quiet for a moment, wondering for a moment what to say. He noticed that the few crew memebers who had been sitting close to them, had also moved away. He said, "I am...honored that you consider my state of being over yours. But I have a hard head," he said jokingly.

"I am...honored that you consider my state of being over yours. But I have a hard head."
*Audra lifted her head to look at Gryffon, a slight smile on her lips.* "And for that I am truly thankful..." She managed a bit of a laugh, running her good hand through her damp hair.* "Seriously though... Is there anything I can get you? Are you hungry? Thirsty maybe?"

Gryffon placed his hand over his and said gently, "Audra. Do not worry about me. I am fine." He asked in the next breath, "You're not cold are you?"

"You're not cold are you?"
*Audra stared at him for a brief moment before answering.* "A little bit... I haven't really had much time to worry about it..."
