"First let us focus on getting a room somewhere, and then I'll see what I can do about a doctor. One that's willing to travel and is unbiased would be the best option," Salem said, thinking out loud more than actually talking to anyone. He knew those requests where probably not going to happen, but it was worth a shot. First though, they would need a room to stay in.
"Well, if it isn't Salem Restins!" a voice suddenly shouted and the raven haired calgor's head snapped towards the direction. His face paled considerably at the sight of the person heading their way. Salem usually kept a happy go lucky attitude, but this calgor right here could suck the happiness out of the most buoyant of individuals. Sometimes he wondered how the water calgor had even become a government official, he always seemed to do more harm than good in their peace talks...and then Salem would have to try and smooth things over again. "Peace talks weren't suppose to start until next month. Why are you here?"
"Something came up," Salem said softly. Drawing his brother closer to his side and out of the other calgor's sight. He wasn't happy to see the water calgor but they could at least get Blitz some help. "I need a favor."
The water clagor practically beamed. "Salem Restins wants a favor from me? Ah, the only thing that would top this is if your smokin' hot older sister wanted a favor from me."
He put on his most sincere and brilliant smile before saying, "She'd rather die first, I can assure you."
"That really hurts, Salem, you say such cruel things with such a kind face..." the mood sobered up quite a bit after a few heartbeats. "What is it that you want?"
"Some place to stay and a doctor if you are able."
"Very well, follow me."

Shizuo could already tell he wouldn't like the guy. "Come on kid, Saki, let's get going." He helped Burner along following the stranger. "How do you know this guy Salem?" He kept his eye on the man as he walked. "Diplomat...... old friend? And how does he know your sister?"

Burner just wanted to lay down already, but managed to shuffle along at an acceptable pace thanks to Shizuo's help.
"Unfortunately he is a diplomat," Salem responded back. Remembering the times he'd come to their house to stay when they were discussing peace talks. "When the meetings for peace are in Kalama my parents are nice enough to welcome him to our home...that's were he met Seraphina."

"I'm sure she didn't take a liking to him." People in the street gave the group dirty looks. "We're really not wanted here, those peace talks didn't go well did they." He trudged along helping Burner keep up. "How much farther." Shizuo practically growled at the diplomat that led the way. "We've been walking for about an hour."

Saki walked along side looking at Burner. She placed a hand on his shoulder trying to comfort him. "We'll get you help Burner don't worry." She tried to comfort the younger boy. "Would you lay off the guy Shizuo, he's already helping us, not many would do that in this city."

"They didn't hit it off, let me just put it that way," Salem said, because it was the truth even if he watched their new companion flinch a bit at the statement. "They actually went somewhat well, but moods take a while to change and so another meeting is going to be held in Kalama after this one. Hopefully things will go better with both meetings..."
"You certainly have a moody companion," the diplomat noted dryly as he glanced back at Shizuo. Finally they stopped in front of an estate. "Here we are, sorry for the long travel, but here you will get the best medical care we can offer and a nice place to stay."
He turned to finally look at Blitz before shooting Salem a look. "What sort of trouble did he get into this time?"
That was a loaded question and it took a lot for Salem not to respond back curtly. "I have a feeling you know..."
"That would explain why you are here then..." Ushering them inside it didn't take long for Blitz to be checked on before getting put into a room.
He was pretty upset that they were here of all places, but as soon as his head hit the pillow the teen was practically out. He hadn't even slipped under the covers, just fell into sleep on top of them. Taking a blanket from a stack of folded ones, Salem covered his brother with it to make sure he didn't end up freezing cold.
"You know he's still considered a criminal here," the water calgor reminded from the doorway. "I'd keep a close eye on him, Salem."
"He's not going to do anything, Van," Salem said, his brother could barely walk, but then it dawned on him and he rubbed his temples in weariness. "That's not what you meant. Never mind."

Shizuo growled at the man's insult. He did his best to stay calm and took out a cigarette. "Thanks for the help."

"It's no problem," Van said, looking toward Shizuo before glancing at Salem. "I'll leave you to look after him then."
The raven haired calgor nodded before taking a seat next to his brother.

"He's certainly odd isn't he?" Saki took a seat next to Burner's bed. "They really must have done a number on him." She looked at him worry filled in her eyes. "I can't imagine what he went through." She pushed some hair out of his face. "Where are we going to stay, surely he won't let us stay here."

Salem nodded, that statement was more true than Saki probably realized. The elder brother watched Blitz's chest rise and fall faintly beneath the covers. Simply glad that he was still alive. "I wonder what Deluge wanted from him..."
At her inquiry about accommodations the noble stood and turned. "I'll go ask."
Making his way towards the door he exited quietly. It didn't take long for him to return. "He said there are guest rooms just down the hallway and that when you wish to go to them simply ask a servant. They've all been notified."

Shizuo let out a breath of smoke as Salem left the room. "I've seen the way you look at him Saki...." He looked at her holding his cigarette off to the side for now. "Don't do it, it will bring nothing but pain to you." He had seen the way she looked at Salem whenever he walked into a room, how she watched his every move. "He already has is eyes on someone else, I'm not trying to be a jerk, this is for your own sake." He turned staying quite as Salem came back in. "One of us should stay with the kid. He might wake up in the middle of the night."

"I think I'll be staying, "Salem said, looking to the other two. Blitz was his brother after all and he wasn't entirely sure he could just simply leave the red head's side. He believed he was having over protective big brother syndrome currently. He more than likely wouldn't be leaving his brother for extended periods. It might get on Blitz's nerves at some point, but he would just have to deal with it.
Noticing the looks of his own attire-smudged with grime and blood-the raven haired calgor looked sheepish. He hadn't noticed until just then, but he had been focused on far more important things. "Oh dear, I'm quite the mess..."
There was quite a bit of blood in fact, splashed down his front and side from where he'd held Blitz and cared for his wounds. He looked towards both Saki and Shizuo. "I think I'm going to go wash up and change. I will return quickly."
He stood and gave one last hesitant look at his brother. Assuring himself that Blitz's was with friends and would be perfectly fine the elder brother made his way to the door.

Saki blushed slightly at his comment. "What do you know." She stopped herself mid-sentence as Salem walked in. "Maybe Shizuo should to. His clothes are a little dirty from carrying Burner." She nodded as Salem left the room. "Why would you say that Shizuo? Why on earth would you think I liked Salem?" Her blush didn't really help her argument.

It hadn't taken him long to clean up-more due to the fact he didn't want to leave Blitz's side for extended periods-and before much could happen the raven haired calgor was back, fully clothed in his second set of attire and blood free. Though he hadn't even properly dried his hair, water dripped down and off of damp strands of raven dark locks. At least he'd brought a towel with him and began to dry it. Quickly scrubbing it over the black strands of hair it managed to look more like Blitz's spiky mess of hair than his own, and he quickly rectified that by running his fingers through to smooth them out. Directing the statement at both he said,"You're more than welcome to use the facilities down the hall to get cleaned up if you wish."
Hanging out of the doorway he pointed out the directions. "Go down that hallway and then take a left. They'll be right there."

"I notice things Saki, I'm only saving you a little heartache." Shizuo nodded at Salem as he walked in. "I suppose I could go now." Shizuo breathed and released a puff of smoke from his cigarette. "I don't suppose they have a change of clothing." He had only brought the clothes he was wearing. "Or something to wash my clothes with."
