Keypth's eyes were white when the first person flung open the door, her small body covering Jada's protectively, creeling. She swayed from side to side, nervously, waiting. Someone would stop looking eventually, stop gawking at her and come help. What are you waiting for?! She cried after a moment. Come in and help her! She has fallen, and I cannot get her up! Jada always got up when Krypth tried to wake her, but all she did now was moan. The dragonet creeled, torn between hovering over her, protective, instinct driving her to try and defend a threat which she could not see; intelligence telling her that the floor was not a good place to be. Not at all! Her wings spread, neck stretching out as she continued her racket, not sure what to do. She needed to make sure her- her-
Shhhh. The command was gentle, but firm, and Krypth's mental blaring shut down in immediate response to the senior Queen's gentle instruction. Tell me. All Krypth could do was croon, sending the older Gold a picture of her woman crumpled on the floor, her own golden body wobbling side to side over the Harper's form. Silence, possibly while the other Gold digested the information, and then: Stay calm, Krypth. There is someone coming.
"Healer!" the dragonet could hear a voice from the hallway, and waited until a form came to the door, her body hunching, wings spread threateningly. Jada was hurt! It was her job to keep her safe! Her job to help! It galled the Gold to be pushed to the side by necessity, and she pressed her nose to Jada's hand as the male manipulated her rider into another position, reaching for her neck.
I've been trying to wake her up. Krypth's voice was a piteous moan, and she crooned against Jada's hand. Jada, Jada, wake up. The Harper's fingers twitched, and the gold's heart(s) leaped for her throat. but there wasn't much more of a reaction. People were moving back, obeying the Healer's bark; but one of them wasn't fast enough. Krypth's screech was loud, and that final step to get that ignoramus to obey his betters!
She watched the other human- she didn't remember his name- pull at Jada's shirt, and tug at the white bandages around her arms. Creeping closer, wings at her side, she was shocked by the smell that assaulted her nose as the bandages were pulled away. The bandages were sticky, and the ooze from the scratches was a brownish-red, and smelled gross. She couldn't stop the little gagging noise she made, and it was sheer willpower that put her back in contact with her rider, her head resting loyally on the girl's thigh. Can you fix her?
