"Sorry," Alpha-7 said, relaxing her body slightly, "Just...venting some frustration."
The pain in her arm was starting to subside, if only slightly. Alpha-7 tried closing and opening her hand, doing her best not to move her arm while Tulio continued. She could feel the pain intensify just slightly as her fingers closed into a fist. No doubt, she wouldn't be able to do any heavy lifting in this condition, let alone fight. But even if she weren't wounded, Maria would no doubt put her on suspension. It wasn't going to be easy explaining this to her. It was just fortunate for the boy that Aidan and Tulio were here. Nothing in Team-X's supply could've helped him at this point.
Alpha-7 turned to Tulio, "Thank you. Both of you do great work here."

In no time, Aidan had some liquid medicine ready. He just hoped it worked. If he couldn't numb Andrew's pain while he healed him a little bit, he wasn't sure what else he could do. He just had to get him stable, until a skilled magic user could be brought in. "Alright, drink this down, kid. It'll make you feel better," he said, tilting Andrew's head up. He couldn't believe the little boy was still holding out. For someone so young, he was pretty resilient.
Tulio looked up at Alpha-7. "It's okay. You're not the first one to feel this way, believe me." It was kind of typical, to see stuff like this in the medical world. A patient would be brought in, and somebody else would often fret about their safety, maybe even snap at anyone who tried to come near them. Tulio knew they didn't mean it. They were just stressed and worried. "Okay, that should be good for now," he said, pulling his hands away from Alpha-7's arm. "I'm gonna put a bandage on it, just in case," he said as he reached for some lying on top of a shelf. "And you should probably stop by here later, just to make sure it's starting to heal." If Alpha-7's wound didn't get any better, they might have to get a magic user involved. But right now, finding one for Andrew was the priority.

Andrew weakly looked at the liquid medicine that looked sloppy and smelled like rain water, he knew that it was within the branch of Alchemy through medicine as it was the reason why his family got massacred in the first place for being accuse of witches. He didn't want to remind himself of that memory and that he had no choice but to allow himself to drink Aidan's medicine, even though it's gonna taste weird.
The child opened his mouth and took a large gulp of the medicine, while resisting to the taste until he finished it. The drinking of the medicine made him feel woozy because of how it tasted like while not trying to lose his lunch (if he had one).
He has his hand still gripping on Kasturi's dagger for the whole time and never let go of it.

It looked like the boy was going to be okay. Aidan had given him some medicine to help his wound, and the boy seemed to give a look that gave Alpha-7 a fair idea of what the liquid tasted like. She was less worried now, though; she surmised if it tasted bad, it was probably good for him. It was the same joke she'd heard Caroline make long ago. She couldn't help but crack half a smile at the thought of her old mentor. She missed her, especially during moments like this, she would've known just what to say to help comfort her.
As Tulio began bandaging her arm, Alpha-7's mind began to wander. How did she end up here? How did this situation spiral into this mess? She knew the answer, it started with a fight. A fight she started. Alpha-7's smile slowly faded as she mulled over the serious error in judgement she had made. It seemed like more often than not, she was relying on her fists to solve problems. This time was no different, she was trying to use those same fists to convey her feelings to a like-minded child...and an innocent got caught up in the crossfire. The guilt she felt was an all too familiar companion for her, and now, her mistakes almost resulted in someone's death. In the back of her mind, she could see the blurry after-images of her nightmare begin creeping back to the foreground of her thoughts.
"I messed up," Alpha-7 said aloud, "I really messed up,"

((Should we start wrapping this up? I'm okay with whatever you guys want to do.))
Andrew still didn't look that great, but at least he wasn't in so much pain anymore. Aidan had to take some comfort in that. He just hoped that he would be alright until they found a magic user.
Tulio glanced up as Alpha-7 spoke. He wasn't sure if she had spoken to him or herself, but either way, he caught was she was saying. And it made him frown. Alpha-7 couldn't beat herself up about this. Of course, he didn't know all the details, but he knew what it was like to drown in self-loathing, and he didn't want Alpha-7 to get like that. "Hey, it's nor your fault," he said. "Andrew's attacker or whatever, he's the one that hurt him. Just keep that in mind." They had to put the blame on the bad guy, and the attacker was it. After all, what kind of person would attack an innocent little kid?

((I think we can))
The label of Kasturi being called an 'Attacker' made Andrew snapped his tired eyes a little to the person who called his older sister figure the killer, he already said to them to forgive Kasturi from what she'd done to him and yet they still blame her from the incident. He glared at the man in blue for seconds before he then looked up at the ceiling and close his eyes once more. The child wanted to yell at the man, but the fatal injury restrained him to do so. He looked down on his abdomen that was now stained with his dried blood, good thing his hypothesis of Aidan's healing ability can at least do something to the Dainsleif related injury a little....but it wasn't enough to completely heal him. His whole body, er, almost his whole body, was stained with his own blood, from his mouth to his shoes. Kasturi's dagger laid beside him without even letting it go. He wondered what will happen to him once he recovers from the fatal wound, and even wondered how Kasturi was because of what she did.

((This will be my last post for this thread, sorry for dragging it out))
Alpha-7 took in a deep sigh. Tulio didn't know, how could he? All he knew was that the kid was hurt, and she was the one who brought him in. She was certain he wouldn't have been as kind towards her if he knew the whole story. A part of her felt as though he deserved to know the full scope, about everything that lead up to this point. Despite that urge, however, she remained strangely silent. Whether it was a lack of courage or a lack of energy, she didn't have it in her to fess up. After staring blankly at the floor for a few moments, she decided it was time to leave it be. The boy was taken care of, everything was fixed, no need to dwell on it any further. This would just have to be another piece of baggage she'd drag with her.
"I gotta go," Alpha-7 said flatly, "thanks again for taking care of him."
She was slow to pull her jacket back on, as she turned towards the exit, doing her best to hide her face from the others. Her steps were sluggish as she trudged out the tent, only stopping for half a second to glance back towards the boy. Then, she was gone.
