wandering around quietly. He liked having a place to escape to.
settles down under a tree and pulls out a book. She knew it wasn't completely safe to wander off but most people stayed in their camps.
kept quiet as he walked, but he noticed the movement in the distance. He brought up his gun and quietly walked towards the figure.
opens the book and starts to read.
got closer but accidentally stepped on a branch, cursing as it cracked loudly.
snaps the book shut and places a hand on a gun at her side. "Who's there?"
hid behind a tree, trying to figure out which side she was on.
had her nurse uniform on and a small Laurasian patch on her shoulder. She tucks her book away and tightens her hold on her gun.
caught site of the uniform and lowered his gun before emerging from the tree. He never felt threatened from nurses or anyone in the medical department.
notices the movement and holds her gun up in his direction, eying him for a uniform or any injuries.
held his hand up as a bit of a greeting. "Hej." He didn't have a Laurasian patch on him, but his uniform was pretty beat up. There was no signifier to show who he was.
narrows her eyes at him. "Who are you?"
smiled as he stood at a bit of a distance from her. "A soldier. I got seperated from the group when we were on an advance, and got caught up in an ambush."
doesn't lower her gun. "Which army are you with?"
smiled a little. "The one and only. Laurasian."
"Why should I believe you?"
shrugs. "Wouldn't I have shot ye other wise?"
...starts to lower her gun. "Was there anyone injured in the ambush?"
shakes his head. "Not that I know of. I ran because I was so outnumbered. I know when to run..."
frowns and starts to walk past him. "Maybe we can get a rescue party..."
nods a little. "There were quite a few... I could show ye where it was, or do ye wanna get another group first?"
"Let's go back to camp and get a group in case the enemy is still around."
nodded as he kept close to her, following her footsteps.
starts back to camp in a hurry. She wanted to make sure they could help the ambushed unit.
kept close to her but also kept an eye out for anyone else. He still felt a little open here.
leads the way back and approaches one of the units she knew wasn't assigned to the lines right now.
a little hesitant as he walked with her, but he kept up his apperance.
glances back at him. "You still know the way, ja?"
nods. "Back to the ambush, ja. I have a great memory."
nods before walking up to one of the unit commanders to ask for help.
stayed with her though was still alert. He knew he'd be needed to find the way back.
The unit commander starts gathering a group of soldiers and Gjertud turns to Soren. "Start leading the way."
nodded and strapped his rifle over his shoulder before heading back into the forest to the spot.
follows close behind with the unit. She was going to stay with the group to help anyone who had been injured.
got to the spot after a small hike, glancing around. He noticed some blood on branches and leaves, but didn't spot anyone as of yet.
frowns and moves a few branches to check for bodies in the bushes.
almost stepped on one, but quickly crouched and checked their pulse. "Nurse, over here!"
rushes over and quickly opens her bag, pulling out a few things and starting to treat him.
did what he could to help, mostly moving dirt and debris from the wounds so she could clean them easier.
frowns. "He's in bad shape... We need to get him to a med tent."
nods a little. "I can carry him." He carefully picked up the soldier, trying not to get him in more pain.
glances around more before turning to Soren. "How many were in your unit? What if there are more injured?"
slowly heading back. "About 7. 5 more could be out there."
nods slowly. "Get him back to the med tent and I'll see if I can help find more."
nods as he headed off, being careful of where he walked. He was curious if she'd only help the Laurasia soldiers...
finds another injured soldier and starts to treat him. "Fou-..." She stops mid yell and rips the patches off his uniform before treating him again. If she got caught treating one of the enemy...
would be thankful if he knew that, for many reasons. He knew war was deadly, but it shouldn't cherish one life over another.
figured she'd just dump him close to the other camp when she got him stable.
got the soldier to the base and into a medical tent. He ran quickly back to the group to see if he could help more.
frowns as she treats the enemy soldier. He was in really bad shape...
found her and started helping. "This one's bad..."
nods slowly and glances around to make sure no one else was around. "Was he in your unit?"
wiped some blood from his face to look at him in more detail. He was familiar, but he didn't remember from which unit. "Nej... I... I don't think so."
frowns and pulls out the patches. "I found these next to him..."
tensed a little when he saw them before smiling a little and closing her hand over them. "It's good to know not everyone is bitter. But keep 'em in yer pocket. If I'm found with 'em, I'll be shot on sight."
blinks at him. "What do you mean?"
shrugs. "He can't go to our camp. And if he's put near the enemy camp he might be killed. Ye'll need to put them back on him for security."
narrows her eyes. "You said you would be killed if you had them on you."
narrows her eyes. "You said you would be killed if you had them on you."
((There are so many plurk bloopers from alternate characters it's beautiful))
nods a little. "I just want to help him. If I do anythin' with an enemy, I'm dead. Ye have much more leeway."
growls under her breath. "No, I'd be shot dead if anyone figured out I was helping them."
sighed and took the patches. "I'll take my chances then. Just make sure he's stable."
frowns and resumes treating him. "I don't know if I'll even be able to..."
nods a little. "Is there anythin' I can do to help?"
hesitates before pulling out more supplies. "Hold his leg. Carefully..."
took his gloves off so he could get a good grip, holding it firmly in place.
frowns. "I'm going to have to amputate it to isolate the infection."
frowned before looking at the soldiers face. He was so young too... "Are ye sure...?"
nods slowly. "If we're not going to be able to get him to a med tent, it's his best hope."
chewed his lip lightly. "... I think there's a neutral town near here. If ye help treat him, I'm sure the town will let ye use supplies they have."
frowns and clenches her fists. "Even if I were willing to do that, if I don't get back to camp soon..."
nods. "Just quickly help. I'll look for a medic in town to take over so ye can get back. Ye can say we were lookin' for more of the unit and I'll be back later after doin' a final check. Ye're needed more
at base than I am anyways right now."
nods and reaches in to his pocket to pull out the enemy patches and hands him a Laurasian patch. "They won't let you back in without it."
took it and nodded. "Tak." He put it away quickly before helping the injured soldier and headed for the town.
frowns and hesitates before following him.
knew that war came with great sacrifice, but he'd do all he could for an individual. He was thankful to find the town and quickly explained the situation to someone from the town, and they showed them the
small medical tent that had been set up for soldiers of both sides.
walks with them and makes sure he is taken care of.
got the soldier settled into a bed and would do all he could to help the nurse save him.
frowns and starts treating him again, glad for the extra supplies and help.
thought that being in an actual tent would help too since there was no environment to deal with.
sighs quietly after a bit and steps back. "He's stable now..."
smiles a bit. "Great job. Ye're a wonderful nurse." He attached the patch onto his uniform with some extra supplies around. "We should get back."
cleans her hands and places the enemy patches next to the soldier. "Thanks..."
headed out, looking back to the soldier once more before leaving for good.
lead the way back through the forest to get back to the camp.
watches him as they walk.
held some branches to the side for her, just so they didn't snap back in her face.
nods in thanks and keeps close to him.
got back to the base, thankful to be on more or less safe ground.
stops and glances at him before starting to walk to the medical tent.
went to go find someone in charge to see what the next plans were, and to see if they could set up a more secure are to stop more ambushes.
