  Charles waved hello to those who cried to him as he headed to the Followers base out in Freeside. A couple of his men had tagged along as well to ensure he was safe and to also keep an eye on his new friend. He lead Nina to the gate of the Followers, pushing the door open without much thought. As usual, it was busy as he had to stop to let a man in a coat walk past. He glanced about as he heard the door close behind him and assumed it was Nina and his minions. He tucked his hands into his pockets, licking his lips a little in nervousness. While Nina's wound wasn't all that bad, he was in a bit of a hurry. Charles desperately wanted to put Nina to work already and this was eating into what precious time he had with her.
"As you can tell Nina, these guys are very busy." He waited a few minutes until he managed to snag the coat of a doctor passing by.
"Hey, look, hate to bother ya pally but I got a small wound that can quickly be taken care of and then you can go on and do....whatever it is that you do."[/color] He motioned for Nina to step forth as he continued. "She's got a small wound on her shoulder and once you take care of that, we'll be outta your hair."[/color] Charles only smiled and didn't let go of the doctor's coat until he agreed. When he did so, Charles smoothed his suit and smiled at the man as he scurried off. "We'll be seen soon so just hang in there okay?"[/color][/size][/center] |

Nina made note of the direction they went and the sights she saw and briefly spoke with a few of the men that traveled with them. Other then that she kept silent as she followed. She started to get nervous the closer they got...She glanced at the wound on her shoulder...a nice sized gash...just a couple stitches...she did get a tetnis(SP? XD) shot earlier that year...but that still meant...needles. She walked slower and slower not going un-noticed by the guys following as some took to putting an arm around her guiding her. She was almost shoved in the door by the time they got there. She whined a bit.
"A-actually I think maybe I'll just clean it up and put some band-aids on it."
She chuckled sheepishly as she tugged at her bangs glancing around. A few snickers from the men that followed got some glares from her...which only made it worse. She looked at Charles.
"O-oh well I'll live. Just a gash..."
It did hurt like hell though...She tried to distract her mind from what she had an idea of what was coming.

Another busy day at the Fort, another day Arcade spent avoiding him. Ever since the tall lanky man caught him with Leah on Fort grounds, he hadn't been a happy doctor. In a way, Cato couldn't blame him but at the same time, he didn't quite deserve the cold shoulder for this long dammit. He had finished changing out a patient's bandage and was setting to work on sewing a rather nasty wound when a volunteer stormed into the tent and made eye contact with him. Cato sighed as he threw his head back and gave it a shake while waiting for the man to move over to his side.
"Hey. The Head Honcho from the Tops is here. He says he's got a wounded lady with him and that it should be quick and he'll be outta here."
"Yeah so? Tell him to wait like everyone else." Cato turned to the patient, expecting the other to take off to relay the message. He had begun the task of sowing up the wound and glanced up to see the volunteer was still standing there. He rolled his eyes as he continued.
"Well?"
[/color] "I....I already tried tell him that but he wouldn't hear any of it and I...." The volunteer squirmed as he spoke. Cato fixed him with an angry stare, pausing in his work. "You caved in and told him you would. Just fantastic. Just great."[/color] Cato already was feeling some resentment towards the man. "Tell him I'll be there in a few."[/color] The volunteer nodded and no doubt reported that back to Charles. Cato ensured everything was sewed up nicely and had wiped it down with their salve to ensure it would be sterilized before wrapping it up and telling the man to check in within the next few days. With a sigh, he exited the tent and it didn't take long for him to find Charles standing about. Cato had to refrain from growling as he moved over to the suited man with his goons and a red-haired woman. A quick scan and look over indicated that it wasn't his Leah and tucked his hands into his pockets once he was standing in front of them. "Sorry for the wait. I'm the only one really free at the moment to help you out. If you would please follow me to the tent here,"[/color] He waved lazily at the tent he just left. "We can take a look at the wound and get it taken care of."[/color] 'And get you, you smug bastard out of here.'[/color] He lead the party to the tent, holding the flap open for the 'merry' band to enter. [/color][/font][/size][/tt][/blockquote] [/b][/center][/move] And the fields have found a feeling || That sucks me from my gaze || And I'm living in the darkness || Where only darkness stays[/b][/move] || Nina and Charles. || Cato no like Charles.

"Honestly, I think that is what they are going to do. I mean, you did say it wasn't that bad and it can't be if you're walking about like nothing."[/color] He replied with a small chuckle. He tilted his head curiously. "What are you scared of Nina? Doctors? I assure you, these guys are nice. They won't hurt you unless they need to. Er...well not to scare you further of course! I mean.....I never mind. I'm just going to make it worse so I'll just kinda fall silent now."[/color] It was about then the same man he had stopped came back and reported a doctor would be with them shortly. It made Charles beam and he thanked the man. "Of course you'll live Nina. I'm not kidding when I say the Doctors here are the best in the mojave when it comes to patching people up."[/color] He gave her a small pat on the shoulder and watched as the doctors darted from one place to another. It was a little interesting watching them work and Charles wished he could have stuck around to see them do so. Well then again, he would watch one intently while he patched Nina up. The few minutes must have gone by quicker than he thought as the man showed up and apologized. "Oh it's fine. No worries."[/color] Charles said with a shrug. He took the lead, heading to the tent and headed inside as the doctor held the 'door' open for them. A couple bedrolls laid on the ground and there was a small medicine cabinet in the back and Charles slowly turned to see the rest enter in behind him as well. "Might as well make yourself comfortable Nina the best you can so the doctor can get to work."[/color] [/size][/center] |

Nina acted like nothing was wrong. She looked at Charles and shook her head.
"S-scared of doctors? No. I'll be fine. Yep. Perfectly ok."
At least until the sharp pointy thing came out. She fidgeted some more and gave a few more glares before she looked at the boss stumbling on his words and went quiet. Oh yeah that helped...A LOT. The pat made her feel a bit better...barely. She glanced at the door giving a thought to just bailing suddenly til she heard a man speak. She blinked and looked at him and grinned shivering. Scruffy face...piercing eyes...oh she'd let him work on her. Even as she thought that some of the guys with Charles herded her into the tent.
"You know maybe I'll be ok. Yeah. I'll be fine. I think it will heal on it's own..."
No it wouldn't it still needed minor doctor care. Despite being around two rather striking men...her fear of needles was bigger. She was shivering and didn't really notice it. She could...run out the other side of the tent...But that would ruin the tent...she couldn't destroy anything else that would add to her bill she had to pay. She gave another look at Charles and Cato and whined before settling down...

He watched each one of the party as they entered, noting Charles looked smug as usual, his thugs itching for a fight and the red-haired woman seemed very nervous. Almost hesitant like. Was she terrified of doctors or something?
"Might as well make yourself comfortable Nina the best you can so the doctor can get to work."
"You know maybe I'll be ok. Yeah. I'll be fine. I think it will heal on it's own..." The woman kind of whimpered and whined before she sort of caved in and sat down on the bedroll.
"You might be fine but it is always a good idea to double check to ensure a wound is not infected and that it will heal fine. In my line of work Miss....Nina was it?" Cato had to go by the name Charles had called her and could only hope if it was a nickname she would be comfortable with him saying it. "A wound left untreated sometimes can lead to rather unpleasant results. A removal of a limb. Rotting of the wound which would lead to a removal of the limb. A really bad infection. So on and so forth. A rather long chain of events would end up with well....removal of the limb."
[/color] He shrugged as he moved over to the cabinet in the back of the tent, eying the minions for a moment as he did so. If they so much as made the wrong move..... He shook his head to clear his mind. Cato couldn't let his anger towards Charles of stealing Leah away from him in a sense to affect his work. Besides, the poor woman would be caught in the middle of a unknown war the Tops Casino Boss had declared. He gathered some bandages and was thankful the salve as well as something to dab it with onto the wound was at the front of the shelf this time and he wouldn't have to ask Charles or his minions to get them for him. Curious, Cato glanced the suited man up and down, silently cursing that even Charles was taller than him, even if it was a couple of inches. He moved back over to Nina and kind of stretched himself out to make himself more comfortable and at her eye level. Cato didn't have to ask where the wound was as it was noticeable on her right arm, gently pulling the arm closer to him to examine it. "You were right in your assessment though. It is nothing too serious and it will be a rather quick patch up. Just sit still for a moment please. If you feel it sting a little, that means the salve is doing it's job of getting rid of any bacteria that would lead to infection."[/color] Cato took a cotton ball and dabbed it into the salve once he opened the container and gently applied it to the wound, listening to them talk while he did so.

 His mouth hung open for a good while as Charles could only stare at the good doctor as he spoke. By the time the man crossed the tent to get his supplies, he had enough time to shake off the initial shock and finally speak his mind. "E-excuse me doc, not to interrupt you while your workin' or anything but how in the hell is that supposed to....oh I dunno, keep someone calm?! Those words just....those aren't exactly helpful words. Or calming ones either. I mean....geez."[/color] How the hell did this guys end up becoming a doctor?! He'd have to ask around about this man. "I mean, I get you're just trying to make her understand what your doing is good and that you only mean well and so did I by bringing her here but good god, she's scared of doctors dammit! Don't be feeding her fear!"[/color] He wanted to smack the doctor but refrained from doing so at least for now anyhow. That and well, he had to wonder why on earth the man was studying him from head to toe. Did...did he have something on him that was out of place? Charles glanced to his men who had tagged along, the question written on his face with a raised eyebrow upon which they only shook their heads and shrugged. What an odd doctor they got. "Speaking of which, you never did properly introduce yourself to us. Ain't doctors supposed to do that? So we, you know, know who the hell we're dealing with?"[/color] And to properly complain about of course to whoever was in charge. Charles crossed his arms as he angrily watched the man set to work on examining Nina's wound. "It better be that and not because you feel like continuing your apparent trend of being an ass and decided to do something as a prank thanks to her fear."[/color] He started, clenching his hands into fists as he spoke. "Otherwise you'll be in for a world of trouble."[/color] [/size][/center] |

Nina looked at Cato and and glanced at the others. Sure having the wound healed up would be nice...and the pain gone...but the thought of the needles made her shiver. She nodded her head.
"Y-yes, though just Nina will work fine..."
She looked at Cato with wide eyes at the mention of a limb removal..she was still shaking from the thoughts of those dreaded pointy things...or having her limb taken off. That got another shiver from her as she drew back just a bit before grinning as he got eye level and winked playfully at him.
"Ah...well...at least I get to be worked on by such a handsome doctor."
She jumped and looked at Charles as he had some kinda issue with the doctor. Well he was right...though. Having a limb removed didn't sound pleasant...She blinked at Charles.
"A-ah actually...it's um...needles...I don't like needles...the doctor here...is fine in more ways then one."
She chuckled and then winced as the salve was applied. She guess it was all the male testosterone that caused the outburst or something...but she was at a bit of a loss at Charles's words. Protecting her in a way? That distracted her as she looked at him.

As the woman indeed state it was fine that he called her Nina, the suit went off on him. "E-excuse me doc, not to interrupt you while your workin' or anything but how in the hell is that supposed to....oh I dunno, keep someone calm?! Those words just....those aren't exactly helpful words. Or calming ones either. I mean....geez. I mean, I get you're just trying to make her understand what your doing is good and that you only mean well and so did I by bringing her here but good god, she's scared of doctors dammit! Don't be feeding her fear!" Cato closed his eyes and took a deep breath.
"Mr. Starkweather, I was just listing that it is best to get a wound checked out by a professional and that there are worse things than Doctors. If it made her uncomfortable, I apologize. That was not really my intention." He just had to be a know it all didn't he? Even to this day, Cato still hated people like him. How in the hell did Leah hook up with him and what did she honestly see in this man? Seriously.
"Ah...well...at least I get to be worked on by such a handsome doctor. "A-ah actually...it's um...needles...I don't like needles...the doctor here...is fine in more ways then one."
"Why thank you. But it is my pleasure to ensure a lovely lady like yourself is quite alright."
[/color] Well, at least Nina gave him an ego boost there. He set aside the salve and the swabs, grabbing hold of the gauze and began to wrap it gently around her arm and wound. "Speaking of which, you never did properly introduce yourself to us. Ain't doctors supposed to do that? So we, you know, know who the hell we're dealing with?""I am Cato if you must know."[/color] He sharply replied to Charles, shooting the man a glare before looking back to Nina. "Needles are hardly necessary if it makes you feel better for wounds such as yours. Not unless you are seriously injured and are in need of some sort of painkiler or something along those lines. Have no fear, you will not be seeing any needles."[/color] Cato flashed her a smile. "It better be that and not because you feel like continuing your apparent trend of being an ass and decided to do something as a prank thanks to her fear." He started, clenching his hands into fists as he spoke. "Otherwise you'll be in for a world of trouble.""Is that a threat sir? I'll have you know that while most of the Doctors here are quite fine with letting such a thing slide and wouldn't do anything about it, I on the other am not. I'm afraid it is you who would be in a world of trouble if you even so much as lay a hand on me. And yes, it is not an idle threat."[/color] With that, he finished wrapping Nina's wound up and began to clean up. [/color][/font][/size][/tt][/blockquote] [/b][/center][/move] And the fields have found a feeling || That sucks me from my gaze || And I'm living in the darkness || Where only darkness stays[/b][/move] || Nina and Charles. || THREATS AROUND FOR ALL! || |

 Charles made note of the man's name and listened to the small exchange he had with Nina. He was proud of himself that he could at least get him to admit he was in the wrong and to apologize. It was also about then Nina stated she was scared of needles, not doctors. "O-oh. I thought.....oops. My bad."[/color] Well that made things quite awkward now didn't it? Here he was, thinking she was scared of doctors and the doc being an ass was of no help either way still. Charles had opened his mouth to apologize when Cato shot back his own threat. His look darkened as he stared at Cato. "Is that so? While I concede you would know how to hurt me with your fancy doctor knowledge, I'm afraid you'd be outnumbered. You think my men are going to stand about and let you hurt me? You're delusional buddy."[/color] He smirked a little as did his minions. He looked to Nina as he continued. "If you're all done Doc Cato, we'd like to get going now."[/color] He had better things to do than trade threats with some doctor who thought he was tough. With that, he offered a helping hand out to Nina to get to her feet and stormed out of the tent. [/size][/center] |

My, there was certainly tension in the air. She looked them both over and mentally nodded to herself. The more words were exchanged, the more curious she got as to why that was. She looked at Cato still grinning.
"Ah pleasure doc Cato then, and don't worry about it Charles. A simple mistake is all. I...hate admitting my fears to be honest."
Nina perked hearing that no needles would be involved and smiled. She quickly left behind her nervous side and looked between the two men as they exchanged words. She let Charles help her up as him and his men left. She looked at tent flap and cocked her head and turned to Cato.
"I'm sensing hostility. But try not to hurt the one that will be paying eh Mr. Cato? It was certainly a pleasure meeting you. I appreciate you taking the time out to fix me up. Hopefully next time I see you it won't be you having to patch me up."
She gave him a wink and followed after Charles and his men.

"Is that so? While I concede you would know how to hurt me with your fancy doctor knowledge, I'm afraid you'd be outnumbered. You think my men are going to stand about and let you hurt me? You're delusional buddy."
"Oh I figure that might happen. I just think you are seriously underestimating me because I'm a doctor and you're just not used to one fighting back." He snapped. He so very badly wanted to smack the smirk off of Charles's face but Arcade would get pissed if he hurt someone on the property. He could only watch as Charles stormed off, sighing angrily.
"Ah pleasure doc Cato then, and don't worry about it Charles. A simple mistake is all. I...hate admitting my fears to be honest."
Cato returned her grin and his focus back on her. "Oh it's quite alright Nina. A lot of people aren't comfortable with admitting their fears."
[/color] He rose to his feet, the supplies in hand. "I'm sensing hostility. But try not to hurt the one that will be paying eh Mr. Cato?""I won't be. I'm afraid my own higher ups would be highly upset if I did anything to him for a number of reasons."[/color] The first and foremost with Charles being the Boss of the Tops Casino. That alone made him a little untouchable as he had vast resources to get back at Cato and possibly the Followers for letting it happen. Secondly, Charles often funded the Followers and the last one that came to mind being Leah would be very angry at him for hurting her new boyfriend. "Besides, we Followers do not charge anyone for our services. Anytime you are in need of help, please come to us and we can see what can be done."[/color] Hopefully she would be a return customer. "It was certainly a pleasure meeting you. I appreciate you taking the time out to fix me up. Hopefully next time I see you it won't be you having to patch me up.""It was a pleasure meeting you too Nina and think nothing of it."[/color] He smiled mischievously at her last sentence and watched her leave. "Hopefully. Stay safe."[/color] [/color][/font][/size][/tt][/blockquote] [/b][/center][/move] And the fields have found a feeling || That sucks me from my gaze || And I'm living in the darkness || Where only darkness stays[/b][/move] || Nina and Charles. || THREATS AROUND FOR ALL! || |
