Arkain nods and walks with Gold away from the group in a secluded area. He could tell by the way he was looking at him and putting up a shield that what ever it was it was very important. He could very quickly tell when he laid down something was very wrong with him. He hears him cough and sees the blood. "Gold you are hurt." He quickly runs up to him and hears the irregular breathing he knew you had to have internal bleeding right away. He stands close to you with his hands on you listening to you tell him what happened outside. " A battle! Damn!  I knew it." He growls angerly when you tell him its was marines you were fighting. "You didn't. Marines! You foolish dragon." He shakes his head. He hates marines. They always put up a hard fight and are tough to kill. He sighs deeply hearing how brave you were fighting the marines to protect the group. He hugs you. Then he looks up at you a bit angry being very concerned for you.. "You are bleeding inside and coughing up blood and you say nothing to worry about? You and your damn dragon pride. You should have let us help you, instead you went off and almost got yourself  killed." He growls. " If the marines find us again they will suffer and even worse defeat. Our group is not as helpless as you may think. Each one has their own powerful fighting skills. "He shakes his head and sighs at your decision to talk to him alone.. "Not worry them. Why do you to distance yourself from them? Some of them might be able to help heal you. This stuff about the marines and you is important we should tell the group," He sighs not sure what to what to do. Frustrated that you wanted to have only his help. He shakes his head trying to figure out what to do. He hears his stomach growl. He rolls his eyes. Hes hungry too. He sighs.  "I see Gold and your getting hungry too. Maybe best that we are alone. You see, I am a healer. I am a strong healer, but you are a big dragon and your wounds are internal. I can heal you but it will not be easy. " He rubs his chin."Hummm, Maybe, just maybe. What if you ate me. Yea, then once inside you I can try to heal you. What I can't heal, the energy I give you by eating me will give you the energy to finish the job. Don't worry, I am not sacrificing myself. I can reform myself. What if, while I am healing you, the others can protect us until you are at full strength. During that time you all can plan a way to get rid of any remaining Marines cause they will be back. How does that sound, Gold?" He rubs and nuzzles you gently.
