Tamar looked around startled at Ketterdam, she only knew that Sturmhond-or Mal-made finished his trade deal with the crows, the Cargo should be on the ship, everything went smoothly up until the got attacked, Saints where was Nadia? Tamar could hear her own heart pounder so loud it blocked out all the others.
"Sister!" An voice reached out to her shaking thoughts. "Sister, you need to breathe, just breathe."
Tolya shook her shoulders lightly, shaking her aggressively would probably make her dizzy and faint, Tamar was glad he didn't try to shake her aggressively when she thought about that.
Tolya had Tamar follow a breathing exercise, after a few deep breathes more noises grew louder in her ears, one of them specifically, calling her and Tolyas name repeaditly. Tamar kept thinking it was her mind playing trick, the loud noises blending in, until Tolya looked back to, hearing the noise himself.
"Ma-Strumhond?" Tolya stammered, avoiding the slip up, he looked around the chaos abrupting in Ketterdam, Tamar looked to, she couldn't find anything until Tolya looked to her back and ran behind her, she looked back to.
"Tolya!! Tamar!!" Mal shouted, he had a scar on his forehead and ur was bleeding rarely, nothing compared to Nadia.
Mal had Nadia's arm around his neck, barley keeping her up right as Nadia had her head to the floor, Her body limp.
Tamar felt her legs move on her impulses command, Mal carefully handed Nadias limp body to her, yet still as quickly as he gave a distressed look.
"Antidote," Mal blurted out. "I need the parem antidote, when we went to the crows we were attacked, parem shot out from somewhere in the room and something kept attacking us, they seemed to have wanted Kaz, we're thankful Inej and the crows got us out to deal with them, but we need to go, we got what we wanted anyway."
Tolya fumbled with his antidote he had strapped to his belt, Tamar placed Nadia's head on her lap, her thumbs rubbing along the sides of Nadia's head, Saints Tamar was gonna kill the person who did this she swears to all the saints she will.
Tolya forced some of the antidote into Nadia's mouth and placed a hand over her mouth to keep Nadia from trying to spit the antidote out.
Tamar didn't even realize she was shaking untill Mal placed a hand on her shoulder.
"She'll be ok, Nadia's strong, probably learned it from you." Mal assured, it didn't help comfort her fully-not unless she saw it herself-but it calmed her enough she controlled her shaking.
Tolya lead Mal and Tamar back to the ship, Tamar kept glancing at Nadia in her arms every ten seconds, blood was oozing from her lip, it must've been splintered, her outfit was red from oozing blood, it made Tamar not wanna know what injuries Nadia had suffered on her chest, but there seemed to be a lot there.
Once aboard the ship Tamar immediately charged towards the Captains quarters, she still remembers when Mal had given the quarters to the 2 of them for some extra privacy and a bed to sleep in.
Tamar bursted open the door and placed Nadia gently on the bed, Nadia seemed to have slightly woken up, her words kept slurring however and she threw her forearms up weakly when talking.
Tamar leaned in and placed a firm kiss on Nadia's forehead, even though Nadia needed healing she couldn't just start taking Nadia's shirt off, that'd be very embarrassing to wake up to. "My Love? Do you mind if I take your shirt off real quickly? I need to heal your injuries and get you a clean shirt."
Nadia gave a weak nod. Tamar grabbed the zipper and began unzipping the jacket, the bloodied up jacket stuck to the I hired girls skin, forcing out a loud whimper from Nadia as Tamar peeled it off.
"Saints I'm sorry." Tamar muttered, it took her a minute but she successfully got the jacket off and discarded it, that would need to be washed for Nadia.
Next was the hard part, the button up shirt, Tamar unbottoned the bottom 3 and looked at the Injuries, there were 2 cuts on either side of her stomach, and a stab wound right on her adomen.
Tamar went on impulse and grabbed a wash cloth from the wash basin, cleaning the wounds carefully, incase of any diseases, once the access blood was cleaned off and there were no risk of any diseases coming in she started up her heartrender powers.
When she was finished there now laid 2 ragged pink scars, and a pink circle scar on her stomach where her adomen was, she pressed another kiss to Nadia's forehead, she knew how much foreheads kisses and touches comforted Nadia.
Nadia breathed in ragged breaths now, sweat gathering at her brow, but Nadia kept on fighting the pain to stay conscious, Tamar just needed to finish healing her and she could sleep, Nadia knew that.
Tamar unbottoned the top ones and peeled off the shirt again, blood had stained the whole thing at this point, Tamar reached for a towel and placed one under Nadias torso on the bed, Tamar decided to put one under Nadias hips to, if she was right there might be a stab wound directly on Nadias left side of her hip.
Tam washed the cloth quickly and started to clean up the wound that ran right down the middle of Nadias chest, it was definitely a deep cut, blood ran out easily, but Tamar was determined to help her Girlfriend.
All her focus went into heart rendering the wound, once the deep, bloody gash had became a pink, closed up cut Tamar reached for the bandages, better be safe then sorry Tamar tells herself everyday.
"Listen my love, I'm gonna need to push you up a little to put these bandages on okay?" Tamar informed her with a soothing voice.
Nadia nodded so Tamar put a hand on the center of Nadias back and slowly picked her up until she sat up right. Tamar laid the bandages on the towel, placing them horizontally and one on top of all the other that was dioagnal, then finally settled Nadia back down on the towel.
She first placed the diagonal one over the scar in the middle of Nadias chest, she hoped she still remembered everything her mother taught her as a little girl, and on how to clean up wounds and bandage them.
Tamar forced herself out of her spiral and finished the bandage, going on to the easier horizontal ones. At least those were easy to get on. Tamar though miserably.
Had Tamar always been crying? She felt her face was wet and her eyes all the sudden seemed puffy, if she was she dearly hoped Nadia didn't realize, she couldn't be having Nadia worry over her while already fighting this miserable pain.
"C-cold" Nadia whispered, it was so low she almost didn't hear it.
"Of course my love one second. You still have a stab wound on your hip, I'll need to take your jeans off to heal it."
Nadia whimpered but gave a nod, Tamar took off Nadias jeans as quick as possible, she couldn't risk a shirt getting dirty from blood during this process.
She found the wound, it was small and could be healed with just Tamar powers and left at that, so Tamar did just that.
A scar had replaced the blood wound on her hip, now she was done with the healing process, she just needed to get Nadia in Comfortable and clean clothes and let her sleep.
After a bit of hastle Nadia was in a new shirt that wasn't all dark red and pants that weren't of dirt and grime.
She gave Nadia a kiss on her forehead. "There you go my love, now rest you need it."
"Mhm" Nadia just gave a mumble and was already out like a light. Taame had to resist the urge to curl up in bed with her as she still needed to report to Sturmhond and Nadias health.
She noticed a bandage wrap-much roughter wraps than Tamar used for Nadia-around Mal's head, Saints Tamar must've been so worried about Nadia she didn't even realize how bad the cut on Mal's forehead was.
There was also a small regular bandaid on Mal's chin, and a cast on his wrist, had Mal's wrist been broken this whole time?
Tolya-who was at Mal's side-and Mal caught eyes with Tamar and strode over to her.
"She's fine, I got all the wounds healed with my abilities and wrapped them up, she's now resting." Mal sighted of relief and Tolya gave a smile. "What happened to your hand."
"Oh got twisted badly when we were attacked, don't worry Tolya got me all fixed up!" Mal tried to give a cheerful smile to play it off, but it was obvious he'd never been good at that.
"It was full on broken, it took me a few minutes to fix to wrist up properly." Tolya inquired.
"You however need to go to your girlfriend, we got far enough away from Ketterdam docks, you all can rest, I might need it to." Mal did have a tired look in his eyes, if he didn't get a nap soon he your might fall over on deck and faint.
Tamar thanked him and ran back to Nadia, she was still laying in bed, her chest rising and falling in a pattern that calmed Tamar heart.
She curled up into bed and threw her arm around Nadias waist pulling her back to her chest, hooking a leg over Nadias and settling her face in Nadias hair. Tamar could've sworn Nadia seemed to have gotten more relaxed all the sudden.
