Terriana nodded, "Yes but that does not mean a lot of people do. There are a lot of people in this town that would have just stayed hidden and left me." It was true and it had happened, of course this wasn't the first time she was attacked while trying to help someone and most everyone leaves her be, even the people she just helped have. "And as for me helping you, it's the least I can do. And besides I can't just leave an injured person to die, it's against a nurse's nature." She stood and walked over to soak the cloth she used for him, chuckling when he mentioned her brother, "Yeah, you can say that again. JJ just turned 10 last week and to him, double digit age means he can go off on his own." She shook her head and twisted the cloth to get the excess water out, "Just last week the bugger tried to run out of the house, almost gave my mother a heart attack thinking the beginning of the month came early or something." She smiled then turned back around, leaning against the counter as she wiped the blood from her own cuts on her arms, grimacing slightly at the pain.

Alariel rolled his eyes when he heard the same tune Serenity always hummed coming up to the building. At the moment he was lounging on the floor which was spotted with the blood of other creatures and of humans. At the far end of the building was the rift they all came through and still others occasionally came through. They could all always go back when the pleased but very few ever wanted to, their world was boring, no humans or anything to amuse themselves with.
