				<div align="center"><strong><span style="font-size: 14pt;" class="bbc_size">Freya</span></strong></div><br><div class="floatleft">(https://cdn.discordapp.com/attachments/597972275559530517/599414480342089728/Death_Freya.png)</div> Freya finally had finished cleaning her countertop off, and cleaning up the spill her last customer had left, a kindly old woman who came by every week for her medicine. At first, Freya had visited her house every week to deliver and administer the medicine, but eventually the older woman had insisted she come to shop every week to finish her doses, say she was strong enough. The medicine had indeed done its job, and the elderly woman was moving like she was thirty again. It was beautiful really, having a customer so adamant to get better like that. <br><br>Freya dropped her rag into the laundry basket she kept by the counter, and looked around her shop. All was in order, the display cases of strange medical items, and wondrous potions were all neat. The glass of the countertop was especially clean today, and all her books were stacked neatly on her shelf. She smiled, satisfied with the cleanliness of the place. Now all she had to do was sweep and feed Linus. <br><br>The medic entered her back room, her joint brewery and bedroom, and opened the small standing wardrobe there. Linus, her half-wolf half-dog companion lifted his head briefly, gazing at Freya and her actions. As the purple haired woman pulled out the big bag of dog food, he stood, tail wagging excitedly. <br><br>“You hungry boy?” She asked, moving over to his bowl and pouring out a healthy sized portion. Linus obediently sat and waited for her command as she poured the food.<br><br>“Okay Linus, go ahead.” Freya said as she straightened up and closed the bag. Linus immediately jumped into action, chowing down. Freya couldn’t help the goofy smile on her face at his excitement. She loved her dog. That would never be in doubt, by anyone.&nbsp; <br>

Honestly he could never catch a break could he? There had been a scuffle in the streets and unfortunately he had gotten caught in the crossfire. He was lucky he didn't have to worry about driving. Soot was very competent, though he could do without her ridiculously overbearing nature. The Draven kept looking back at him every 5 seconds with the eyes of a kicked puppy.<br><br>"I'm fine Soot, it's really not as bad as it looks." Soot let out a pitiful cry at that, and McCree groaned in exasperation. "Really Soot, you act like this is the first time this has ever happened! We were heading to Freya's anyways, this just bumps the schedule up a bit." At the mention of Freya, Soot perks up and begins to walk faster than before causing McCree to laugh heartily. "You'd think you prefer her over me with how quickly you change your tune!" Soot merely snorted at McCree.<br><br>Leaning back in his seat, McCree's mind wandered to his doctor turned friend. He didn't know much about her, but he did know she was kind to him, and that was enough. She truly was a good friend to him, he hoped he could repay her one day for all she'd done.<br><br>He was startled out of his thoughts as Soot pulled to a sudden stop, looking at him expectantly as it let out a small cry. Looking around, McCree realized that they had arrived and expertly slipped out of the cart, wincing slightly as he jostled his arm. Walking to the front door, he took a deep breath and knocked with his good hand.<br><br></div>

She blinked as she called out, "One minute!"<br><br>Freya stored the bag of food away, and then shuffled into the front room to pull open the door. She was greeted by the tall form of McCree, sporting a very obviously broken arm. <br><br>"Oh boy, what did you do now?" She asked, ushering the taller man into the front room and to one of three chairs she kept nearest to the door. She waved to Soot as she closed the door, calling out "I'll come say hi in just a minute."<br><br>Then Freya got to work, rounding her counter, she grabbed a bottle filled with murky grey liquid, a roll of cloth, and a thin piece of wood. These she piled onto a table, and then she rolled said table out to stop just in front of McCree.<br><br>Freya didn't ask questions of the mysterious man that showed up at her door randomly, it wasn't any of her business. But it was a little bewildering how much trouble McCree actually got into on a regular basis. Freya sometimes wondered if they got into so much trouble as an excuse to come here. McCree seemed, lonely, to Freya at least. But that wasn't something the purple haired woman would ever say to her patient. She wasn't a shrink after all.<br><br>Freya set about inspecting the arm, planning her course of action.<br><br>"This has to go." She indicated his sleeve and held her hands just above it as an offering to help.

The pain was agonising but he'd been through worse. As soon as the coat slipped of he sighed in relief before turning to assess the damage. <br><br>He hadn't looked before for fear of making it worse but what he saw made him pause. His whole arm was already a deep purple. It hung limply by his side, useless. Attempting to flex his fingers, he was nervous to find that they wouldn't respond to his command. He glanced at Freya nervously, fearful of her reaction but he couldn't quite meet her eye. He'd thankfully never seen her upset, and he wasn't planning on starting any time soon. Instead he looked off to the side and cleared his throat.<br><br>"So Uh- I can explain." He paused to take a deep breath, still unable to look in her direction. Giving himself a mental pep talk, he figured he'd be better just ripping the band-aid off. Breathing deep one more time he continued, "I got hit by a cart."<br></div>

That was concerning, very concerning. But Freya didn't show a lick of emotion or shock as she got to work. Her first task was to find the location of the break. There was no way she would be able to properly treat McCree without magic. So she closed her eyes and focused, sending purple tendrils of smoke swirling around McCree's arm.<br><br>The magic allowed her to spot exactly where the fracture was, and how bad it was affecting the arm. The break was severe, causing the bone to jut out against a muscle, and sever part of said tissue. <br><br>"This is going to hurt. Bite down on this." Freya bunched up a rag and offered it to McCree, all without opening her eyes.

He shut his eyes tight and braced himself in preparation for the pain to come. No amount of warning could've prepared him for this.<br><br>The feeling of your muscles and bones physically moving into place is not a pleasant one. Every second was filled with excruciating pain and McCree could not hold back a muffled scream. Clenching their good hand tightly, he had to force himself not to try and wrench himself free like a wounded animal.<br><br>'Over soon, it'll all be over soon.' These words repeated in McCree's head like a mantra as he struggled not to pass out from the pain.<br></div>

Having to push or pull them back into place cause agonizing pain, and Freya hated to be the cause of such pain. <br><br>But it was all to promote proper healing, and save the arm. So Freya used her purple tendrils of smoke, and pull the pieces of McCree's broken arm back into place. Freya then proceeded to seal the break until the point it was almost completely healed. It would still need support for a few days, but McCree's lifestyle was so hectic it was safer to have the arm almost healed then to leave it with just being set. But this also meant that she would have to deal with a margin of the injury afflicted upon herself. Tho she didn't feel the pain, she could feel the heat begin in her arm as she did so, the scar that would be left on McCree's bone was now also Freya's to bear. But she would never tell anyone that this was the cost for her magic.<br><br>"Okay, almost done. I'm going to rub this on your arm to relieve the pain, then splint and wrap your arm to secure it." In truth, the likelihood of McCree reinjuring his mostly healed arm was moderate, but she wasn't about to risk a rebreak. <br><br>Freya set about rubbing her ointment on the man's arm gently, massaging it in to alleviate the leftover pain. Then she wrapped the arm in cloth, and wrapped that around McCree's neck and tied it off, securing the arm with McCree's own posture. <br><br>"Two days should be good as new. Try moving now." Freya smiled, her eyes lighting up with happiness. This was her calling. Healing others.

The bruise was still there, and likely would remain for a few weeks but it didn't throb like it had been for the past few hours. For as eccentric as she could be, McCree knew she was truly the best in the business. Relaxing, McCree offered Freya a mellow smile.<br><br>"Thanks Freya, don't know what I'd have done without you. From the look and feel of it, anyone else would've amputated without a second thought. Call me selfish, but I happen to like that arm." He laughs slightly before reaching for his coat and searching through the pockets. "How much do I owe you?"<br></div>

But that's because they don't have my skills." <br><br>Freya laughed and began to clean up, putting things back in its place. "If it swells and stays that color for more then two days it will have to be drained. Don't want it rotting out on you." No one could say Freya was modest. Although, she had earned the right to be proud of herself a thousand times over with how many lives she had saved so far. <br><br>"Don't worry about payment. That was probably the easiest thing I've done today. I'd have to do math to charge you for the cloth and its late. I would rather skip the math." Freya threw McCree a cheeky wink and continued putting her things away. <br><br>Linus padded out of the back room, licking his lips and lazily walking over to McCree. The big dog proceeded to put its head on McCree's lap for pets, huffing his greeting.<br>

Immediately he loses his train of thought, enamored by the beautiful dog in front of him. Making eye contact, he was immediately compelled by some unknown force to bury his good hand and his face into Linus' coat, groaning happily.<br><br>"I don't know where you came from but you are truly the best of your kind and no one can convince me otherwise!"<br></div>

Linus's behavior was how she had judged McCree to be a good person. Ever since they had met, Linus had been drawn to her visitor, doting on him and begging for McCree's attention every time. <br><br>Linus happily wagged his tail and snuggled up to McCree as the traveler buried his face into the dog's fur. Happy for the attention and pets. <br><br>"I don't think anyone knows where he came from. I've looked, but he just appeared one day and wouldn't stop following me. So, like the sap I am, I fed him and gave him a home, and now he won't leave my side." Freya's words where as if it was annoying, but her sappy tone revealed how she truly felt about it. She wouldn't change the companionship for the world.

He lifts his head, looking around for something that does not appear to be present. He begins sniffing the air, confused. This goes on for a second before it becomes the change he's reacting to becomes noticeable to your human senses. <br><br>Suddenly, it's like the air has shifted. It's that feeling when the sun has just risen and both too bright and not bright enough. When a thunderstorm is coming fast, but it hasn't started raining, so all you feel is the electricity in the air. Suddenly bright and inexplicably powerful, even though there is no visible difference in the room. The feeling builds, getting stronger and brighter until the very air around you feels like it's about to burst.<br><br>and then, a knock.

His body is tense and his eyes narrowed, he doesn't take his eyes away from the entrance. Usually he wouldn't bother, if anyone tried anything he was sure Freya would kill them. However this felt different. Something strong was on the other side and he didn't know if Freya would be able to handle such a foe alone. If they were indeed an enemy.<br><br>"You expecting anyone?"<br></div>

Probably a late night customer, like yourself. I get a lot of those." Freya puts a hand on McCree's crossbow and lowers the weapon gently.<br><br>"You're a bit jumpy tonight. Maybe you need a nap?" She suggests as she moves to the door.<br><br>Smiling, the medic opens the door slowly, so as not to startle.<br><br>"Evening! What can I do for you...?"

A golden skinned, ethereal man has entered the store front, white hair gleaming in the low light. <br><br>"Freya! It's been so long. How have you been? Are all the plague cases gone? Vesuvia has been so busy you wouldn't believe" <br><br>The man drones on for a while, and the electric feeling does not fade from the air.</div>

No one except Asra would enter her personal space without prior warning, and no one who ever did would leave it alive, except Asra. Freya could hear Linus growling at Asra as he entered her space, but really couldn't do much about it until she carefully extracted herself from Asra's hug. <br><br>"Linus." She commanded looking at the half-wolf. The big grey dog instantly sat at Freya's command, staring happily at her. Freya then turned on Asra.<br><br>"Its been four years Asra! Of course all the plague cases are gone" Freya threw her arms up in exasperation, flabbergasted by the white-haired man showing up on her doorstep so suddenly.<br><br>"Do you have my book?" The question was more of a demand then an inquiry, but really it had bee four years.<br><br>The last time she had seen Asra, he had asked for a book of necromancy spells. Freya had given him one, telling him he had to return it, he still hadn't returned the tome, and she still had no idea what he had needed it for.

Looking between the two-friends? probably friends- McCree immediately felt like he was intruding. attempting to shuffle out the front door, he was stopped by Soot, who he’d completely forgotten about. The Draven had forced itself through the front door, frantically looking around before its gaze fell on its master.<br><br>“Now Soot let's calm down and-SOOT NO!”<br><br>Too late was he to stop her as Soot flung herself forward, barrelling into McCree and sending him crashing into the floor. He groaned in pain as his arm was jostled, resigned to sit there as Soot scrambled into his lap and plopped herself down without a care, looking down at Linus with a haughty expression on her face. <br><br>Embarrassed, McCree looked up at the two awkwardly. "Uh- hi there?"<br><br></div>

He awkwardly reaches up to scratch the back of his head, blush coloring his high cheekbones. <br><br>"Has it really been four years? Wow, did not realize that it had been that long."<br><br>Asra definitely still knows where that book is. Really, he does. It's on Lucio's floor, burnt to ash. But he's not about to tell Freya that.

Leaning against the wall, directly to the left of the door is a woman with peachy hair. She's wearing a brightly colored, long patterned skirt that on closer inspection might actually be really loose pants. There's a heart shaped emerald hanging around her neck, suspended from a golden chain. Over her elbows rests a sheer scarf, inlaid with gold, and upon her shoulders sits a beautiful lavender snake with it's head cocked questioningly to the side.<br><br>Asra looks back at her, with a pleading look in his eyes, but she has no intention of saving him. One eyebrow quirks up, as if to say <em>in trouble already?</em>, but she remains where she is.

She knew that look all too well, the playing innocent look. Callum had used it on her every five seconds, and now Asra using it, well it just pissed her off. <br><br>"What did you do with my book? Asra!?" Her voice dropped an octave, entering anger territory. <br><br>No one pissed her off quite like Asra did, but then, it was a sort of brotherly love between them. Having bonded over plague victims and magical abilities. Freya loathed to admit it, but she cared what happened to the giant idiot that was standing in front of her. <br><br>Freya was about to lay into Asra, majorly, when he turned and glanced at his companion, whom Freya had not noticed until then. Peach hair and a shawl stood out instantly as Freya took in the woman's features. There was something... Off... About this woman. Not bad, just, touched. By death. <br><br>It took Freya a minute to understand what exactly she was sensing, but as soon as two and two made four, the purple haired woman smacked Asra upside the head. <br><br>"You dumbass! What did you give up? Was she the reason you wanted that damn book? You could have been kiled!" Freya continued to yell at Asra, laying into him like she had never done so before. <br><br>Linus meanwhile looked up at Soot and seemed to grin, his eyes sparkling in a greeting. He took a cautious step forward and a tenative sniff. Hoping to make friends.

Seeing this, McCree sighed before scooting her off his lap and stretching his hand out to Linus to smell. Slightly miffed, Soot gave McCree a look of betrayal before sucking up her pride and approaching Linus. She leaned down with a haughty look before giving him a cautious sniff. Something must have caught her interest because she immediately gave him another sniff and began to circle around him. Finally stopping, she then plopped herself down in front of him and lifted her hoove to shake.<br><br>Chuckling at this, McCree turned his attention to the three others in the room before frowning with concern. Getting up he walked over to the group and placed a hand on Freya's shoulder. <br><br>"Sorry to interrupt but, it looks like it worked out doesn't it? I know it doesn't exactly excuse whatever he did but he did it for someone he cares about right? I think in that case you should at least respect his decision. Though what do I know?" With a playful shrug McCree threw a wink at the two newcomers and waited for Freya's imminent rage to be directed at him.<br></div>

Her eye twitched violently as she rounded on McCree, glaring.<br><br>"My dear McCree, you clearly don't understand the risks associated with using necromancy magic. In which case, I'm going to forgive you," She grabbed McCree's hand and calmly removed it from her shoulder, "for entering my space. But touch me again and you will have a lot more to worry about then a broken arm." <br><br>Freya sounded completely calm as she said this, but there was a deadliness to her words, a terrifying sort of darkness veiled by the niceties.<br><br>She wasn't wrong though, necromancy was the most dangerous form of magic, and was not something to play around with. Especially if you were not practiced. One could easily lose their life, and raise mindless, brain dead, hunger driven creatures. <br><br>Freya turned back to Asra, and with a grunt of anger and disappointment, turned her attention to the woman leaning against the door. <br><br>"Hello, I'm Freya." She greeted cooly, walking over and extending a hand in greeting.<br><br>As Freya did this, Linus's eyes followed Soot, until finally she settled in front of him and raised a hoof. Linus seemingly smiling with his eyes, raised his paw and put it on top of the hoof, panting happily, and tail wagging in excitement. Had he just made a new friend?

The medicine woman blinks and then swallows again.<br><br>"Well. That is... unexpected." Freya pauses, considering this information, and then sighs heavily.<br><br>"That's a mighty large force to be messing with. How exactly did this curse break?" Freya asked, she was taking this a lot better then even she expected. But then, Freya also messed with Death, a lot. Not much could intimidate her at this point.

"Well, its possible I might be able to help. But I would have to see the patient."<br><br>Freya ponders for a moment, "And I'll need to know the whole story." <br><br>Freya tilts her head at the feeling of energy pulsing in the air, figuring the magical feeling is coming from Kai. She doesn't comment, instead turning to gather materials, no use commenting on something that she assumed the pair would explain at some point. <br>

She remains cool even as Asra brightens considerably. "Of course. We couldn't bring her with us, unfortunately. She's far too weak for that, but if it's okay with you, we could bring you to her."<br><br>Kai shoots her beaming boyfriend a look over her shoulder. She looks amused by his excitement. She smiles, an affectionate concession. "I'm sure the Countess wouldn't mind"

At the moment the items are all medical supplies and books, but for a moment the purple haired woman dissapears into the back room. She emerges with a backpack, and a knapsack. <br><br>"Well if we are going to do this, we should wait til McCree gets back." Freya says, indicating her previous patient. <br><br>Freya raises an eyebrow at the revelation of a Countess being involved. "A Countess?"

She's going to have to remember that name. His familiar is a very interesting creature. "That is fine. A couple of hours won't make or break her I think."<br><br>Kai notices Freya stop when Nadia is mentioned. Huh. That's interesting. "Countess Nadia. She's in charge of Vesuvia now that her husband has.... unfortunately passed." Asra snorts behind her and she shoots him a warning look. <br><br>She pointedly turns back to Freya as Asra pouts in the background. "The patient is a friend of the Countess' and has had involvement with the city's government in the past, so the Countess has a great interest in seeing her recovered."

Honestly the damage sounds severe, but it should be reversible." Freya nodded and continued packing her supplies into her backpack. <br><br>"Unfortunately huh? I heard about that... scandal. I assume you two were involved?" Freya smirks as she glances at Asra. It was just a thing that the white haired man was pretty much always involved. <br><br>Freya nods at Kai's explanation of the patient, considering the implications of the weight of such a patient.<br><br>"Well then we better make sure this patient gets better quickly." Freya smiles gently, but there is a veiled hesitation in her words. Like she doesn't enjoy dealing with governmental people.

Barely paying attention to anything, McCree places the goods Freya requested off to the side along all her money meant for the shopping trip.<br><br>Turning to face the group, McCree suddenly straightens at the flare of magic, body tense and ready to fight or run at the slightest provocation. His good hand slowly began to reach into his coat when Soot brushes against him with a low purr. Instantly he relaxes and drops his hand, and Soot eagerly leaves his side to greet Linus. Suddenly awkward, McCree shuffles for a bit before looking at the group nervously.<br><br>"Everything alright?"<br></div>

There's a shockingly intense look in his violet eyes. Asra is not a violent man, not an angry one, so it's a little odd to see. He meets Freya's gaze and holds it, unashamed. The gaze tells you all you need to know. <br><br>The intensity of the moment is broken by the opening of the clinic door, followed by a sigh and a tinkling sound.&nbsp; Kai and Asra both look up as McCree shuffles into the room. <br><br>"We really do appreciate your help." Kai says to Freya, answering her smile with one of her own. "And I'm sure the Countess will too."<br><br>Out of the corner of her eye, Kai catches McCree go for his gun. She snorts, throughout amused. She's used to these kinds of reactions, all things considered. Her magic has only gotten stronger since she faced The Devil, and she knows that most people can feel it. Those in Vesuvia may be used to it, but McCree is not.

Silent worry creeped into her own facial expression, but then an understanding crosses her eyes. Freya had been in that position before, too many times. Freya simply nods to Asra to communicate her understanding, before turning to meet McCree's eyes as he drops her supplies down on the counter, along with a full bag of gold. <br><br>"McCree, why is this still full?" She barely has a chance to ask the question before McCree is tensing and reaching for his gun. Freya rolls her eyes at him as Soot bumps into the taller man to calm him.<br><br>"Honestly McCree, you would think you've never been around magic before." Freya says, playing mock offended by his actions.<br><br>Freya turns back to Kai and nods, "Well, when a patient is in need, I never say no." She trails off, like she was about to say more, but the purple haired woman decides to leave it there.<br><br>"So McCree, we are going to Vesuvia. Your coming with." Freya says this with a no nonsense tone. The matter was not up for debate, no matter what the taller man said. <br><br>"I'll pay you for the trouble of course. Call it a... protection fee." Freya smirks as she says this, she imagined everyone in that room knew she didn't need protection, especially McCree, but she was not about to let him say no.

Turning to Kai, he bows at the waist.<br><br>"Please forgive me, I haven't had the best of experiences with magic. However, while Freya is one of the few mages I trust, that doesn't mean I should let my fears control me."<br><br>Straightening up, looks Kai in the eye, sincerity filling his every word. He then jumps, startled by Freya's command. Sheepishly laughing at her suggestion, he faces her with a wry grin.<br><br>"Um, Freya I have a broken arm. As you can see, I'm pretty bad at just taking care of myself. Also, even with both arms I'm sure you could wipe the floor with me."<br></div>

You can't take care of yourself right now. So that settles it, you are coming with me!" Freya lets out a small laugh, like she had been planning that result all along. <br><br>"So then, Vesuvia it is!" Freya finishes storing her medical supplies, and swipes up the pouch of gold from the counter, securing that in her bag. She then ducks, and the room's occupants can hear the jingle of more coins as she stores those as well. She pops her head up and whistles for Linus, who bounds around the counter excitedly. Freya bends and secures a small cloth pouch to the dog's neck before straightening again. <br><br>"Well I'm ready to go. What do you need to get ready?" Freya turns to McCree, a smile playing behind her eyes.<br><br>Adventures like this were few and far between for her, but when they happened, she was ecstatic.

Without a word he turns and walks back outside to make sure his Cart is prepped for travel.<br><br>Once he's sure of it's security, he returns inside, leaning against the door with a sheepish smile.<br><br>"I hope you have a way to bring my cart, I kinda live out of it."<br></div>
