Chapter 110: Asking for a little bit of help
"Lord Blackburn, I’ve treated the areas to the best of my ability, so you may put your clothes back on." Sam seemed excited to hear that, and rushed over, practically getting on top of Draken to get to Cass. Draken sputtered, but quickly jumped over the back of the loveseat, rocking it as he used his weight and strength to do so.
Cass nearly fell backwards and the loveseat tilted with his movements, but Draken made sure that the loveseat went back to normal, laughing at Cass’ shocked expression. Even Sam was shocked at his actions.
"What? He rushed me, and I wanted to get out of there as quickly as possible." Cass stared at the other man, his heart racing. Any trace of sleepiness he had was wiped away with Draken’s actions.
"You nearly gave me a heart attack." Cass accused and Draken’s humour faded. He reached towards Cass, pressing his fingers against his pulse. He only placed two fingers against his throat, but the pressure, and the realisation that his fingers were so...thick, had Cass thinking that maybe he wasn’t as much in the clear as he thought.
"That’s not good. I don’t want that to happen." Draken murmured. "Mmm, it seems okay. I think that’s a normal heartbeat for a human." Draken mumbled and Cass didn’t know what to say. Draken turned to the Doctor. "Do fairies have a different heart rate than humans?" Draken asked, serious, and the Doctor sighed.
"Most humanoids have a similar heartbeat, or range for a healthy heartbeat. I don’t think that Lord Blackburn should have any worries. When I listened to his heart, it had a healthy sound to it." They confirmed and Draken nodded. He turned a grin towards Cass.
"Don’t scare me like that. You have so many health complications that I worry about anything. A wind could blow you over." Cass wanted to argue, even glaring back at Draken, but given his current state there was nothing he could say. Especially since all of this was self-inflicted.
While they had been speaking, Sam had been hard at work getting Cass dressed, starting with his bottoms since that was honestly the most embarrassing part for him. He couldn’t believe he’d hurt himself like that. He hadn’t even brought up his ass. That was something he didn’t want to discuss with Draken around, and even Sam wasn’t aware of how bad it was.
The Doctor was busy working away, having pulled a small table out of the magic bag that they carried, and was crushing something up with a mortar and pestle.
"Draken, stop saying that. It’s very insulting. You wouldn’t say that to anyone else, would you?" Cass said angrily, Sam helping Cass slid his pants up and over his hips before buttoning up his pants. Cass felt a little better since he wasn’t exposed to everyone anymore, and Draken chuckled.
"How about I stop calling you that when you have a bit more meat on your bones? With my hunting abilities, it’ll take only a month to change you from a twig, into a healthy human. One with a bit to grab onto."
