As Lilu became still, falling into Scyler’s arms, Dark panicked and reached for an arrow. They were already turning against each other and Lilu was their only ticket out of there, he needed him alive; the other not so much. Still slightly breathless from the run, he didn’t raise his bow but held the arrow tight in his hand, prepared to throw it. Even Ryo tensed after witnessing the demon’s actions, but wrapped his transparent arms around Dark, protecting him and preventing him from attacking.<br/>Scyler explained himself and the couple relaxed. Dark returned the arrow to his quiver, feeling slightly embarrassed and looked towards the ground again. An idea struck him; the fortunate thing about being in the Wolfrum faction was the unlimited supply of natural remedies.<br/>“Wait,” he interjected, while crouching to the ground and picking leaves. He examined the plantain leaves and placed in his mouth, wincing at the taste. He spat out the chewed green mush into his hand and held it out to Scyler. “It’ll help with the wound, trust me. Just until he can heal it himself.” Dark applied the paste to the wound, assuming it was on his leg due to the limp, and covered it with an intact plantain leaf.<br/>Standing behind them on the look out, Ryo gently nudged the boys forward to encourage them to move. “They’re started to gain on us,” he said worried. Keeping the other three in front of him, Ryo lagged behind; his claw out ready for an attack. They rushed into the village, scouting out for the hostel that Lilu mentioned earlier. The hostel was one of the largest buildings within the village, they rushed inside and asked for a room.<br/>The only room available consisted of three small beds and a optional cot. Ryo and Dark exchanged a look but took the room; the couple were prepared to share a small bed as the incubus need space to himself to rest. Clambering up the stairs, they entered their dingy murky room and sighed. Nightfall had come, shrouding the village in darkness. Even if the previous town’s inhabitants had followed them into the village, it was too dark to find them now.<br/>Dark threw his stuff down and sat in the cot, he was small enough to curl into as he calmed his nerves. Ryo kissed his forehead in passing, as he headed towards one of the free beds, there he collapsed but kept an eye on Scyler and Lilu.<br/>"How is he doing?"
