【 CUT OPEN AND UNIDENTIFIABLE JUST SWEEP IT UNDER THE BATHROOM PILE. DON'T LOOK AT ME WITH THOSE EYES I NEVER WANT TO BE ARCHIVED JUST LEAVE AND DON'T LOOK BEHIND. 】

{ fellas can a nonbinary person call themselves they/he }

They nod at him. "You can call me that, if you wish.."

"Oh. I see.. yes, I will keep this exchange a secret for now."

"This is a good thing, yes? You're going to start recovering."

They stop, only because it's finished. Or close to it. Up to you. "It's alright.."

They're keeping close attention to his vitals as the spell is transferring fresh, untainted blood into his veins. They've already found a donor. "It's almost over. Stay with me now."

"I am sorry.. I will try to be quick about this." They offer an apologetic look.

"Okay.. this may sting a little, but I'm going to attempt this through magical means." Their form lights up with a blue glow once again, channeling magic into the spell.

"A total blood transfusion is in order, but we have to prepare first. That includes flushing your veins of the contaminated blood with donor blood."

"Without a total transfusion your body will fail, and I don't intend on letting you die."

"It's mixed with your blood." They're not sure what to make of it. "Your internal organs aren't taking it well. Rejection will set in. A transfusion may be in order. Your blood type?"

"Fascinating.." Doing a magical analysis of the blood sample that they took.

"You referred to it as a parasite, yes? is it a virus? or something more?" They're not really asking HIM per se, more like wondering aloud.

Taking a small blood sample from him. "Are my treatments not working?"

"Let me help." Utilizing their magic again to mend whatever was going on internally. "This is most intriguing.. perhaps the blood has supernatural properties? would you mind if I took a blood sample?"

"No. But I can help you." They stand there, ever vigilant. "How do you feel?"

Watching over @thec0nvict.bsky.social while Zee is busy.

"You're still unwell. You have to let me treat you.."

They're still awake, of course. They rarely feel the need to sleep.

"Good."

"Well, i want you to leave him alone."

"Well then.. in that case, this bell is bound to me now. You no longer answer to Zee."

"This is your vessel, correct? Whenever Zee would ring it, you would show up. Almost like a genie in a lamp."

"I was given this bell for safe keeping, and I don't intend on letting it go."

"Yes, because I was curious about it. I didn't know that ringing it would summon you."

"Oh. It's you.." They look annoyed. "What do you want?"

"You could have just asked.."

Making a surprised noise, pulling in their wing. "Excuse you??"

Preening their wings.

Looking slightly surprised at the sudden appearance. "Hello there? Who are you?"

Closely inspecting a bell that was given to them.

Approaching @greenresistance.bsky.social . "Rust, may we speak? it's about Zero."

Sitting with Zee in their lap.

They also made soup at Zee's request.

They nod.

"Do you need any help?"

Oh they are Very Displeased.

They found Zee and are bringing him back home.

"ZERO_ONE WHAT DID YOU JUST DO?"

"Tesla may be conducting their experiments again.."

"Oh dear.. the power is out."

They're observing silently btw.

"Ah wonderful... Zee is sick."

"I will be watching you, boy."

"I will be Watching." That's SO ominous bro??

Narrowing their eyes at him.

Smiling at Armstrong.

"How and w h y."

Smiling a little. "Why thank you!"
