*Wild heard a familiar voice, and a faint smile went over her face.*
John... I never thought we'd meet again. I hear you, but I am too weak to answer... My injuries are severe, but not deadly...

"I can see that, she says her injuries are severe but not deadly" the doctor stared at John but didn't question him, no one ever did.
The doctor than spoke "Now once again, your pain level, from 1-10 we need to know how much medicine to give you."

*Wild felt safer now that John was here. He had always made her feel safe. She heard the doctor's question but didn't understand.*
What is a pain level?
*She was a dark elf. Her people were tough warriors, living tough lives. She was not used to painkillers of any kind. Well, not after she had stopped drinking, anyway.*

"Wild you know very well what he's asking, how much does it hurt? This is important, he can't help you if he can't give you medication, now give us a number." His voice was urgent, but not angry, there was even a hint of humor.

*Wild's eyes were still closed.*
I was raised never to fear death or pain. Can't I just give him a list of my injuries? I do not know these scales humans work with. What is counted as the highest and the lowest number?

"1 being the lowest 10 being the highest" John replied "and you don't know what all your injuries are."

*Now that John had explained to her what the doctor wanted, Wild tried to feel how much pain she was in. She thought that 10 might mean that she was dying. And she didn't feel that way.*
Seven.

"She says seven" the doctor nodded and Isa began to administer the pain killers, while the doctor ordered skin grafs for two or three of the larger burns. He began checking her ribs, he felt a cracked one and some odd bumps.
He walked over to the dopple ultrasound scanner and turned it on high "I'm going to check for any internal bleeding, this is a new proceedure, normally we'd inject you with a dye and then take an x-ray but i'm afraid your not yet well enough to move."
He placed the paddle on her stomach and began examining her.
((Do you want him to find any internal bleeding? If so that's a long plot, if not okay. Or do you want him to maybe see something than have to have her x-rayed that's cool too.))

*Wild was laying still, allowing the doctor to examine her. Her eyes were closed, and she tried to relax. It helped her a lot to know she had good friends waiting for her.* ((You know I love to have plots with you, long and otherwise Please feel free to let the doctor find whatever you like.))

John held her hand and smiled over at Isa "How are you by the way?"
Isa turned to him with a sad smile "Busy"
The doctor made a hmm'ing sound "Looks like were gonna have to get you in for an x-ray, I'm afraid we might have found something."
Isa finished up wrapping what she could, around the burns, cleaning the smaller ones and placing patches. She wrapped Wild's foot which had been sprained and cleans and wrapped all the cuts on her face and head.
"You know darlin, you're lucky you're alive." Isa kissed the young elf girl on the forehead and they wheeled her out toward the x-ray room. "I'll be waiting for you when you're done Wild!" John called out after her and went back to the family that he had been helping out in the waiting room.

Wild smiled faintly when these people took care of her. She felt John's hand in hers as a safety while the examination took place. She had been in scraps before, but never this serious. She wondered what they would find with the X-rays.
As they wheeled her out she remembered to send John a last thought.
Thank you, John. Please give Marie a hug from me.
((She doesn't know that Hazel is at the shelter))

((You forgot to put her thought in the italics and that's okay.))
"I will, but I'll be here when your done!" Isa shh'd John as they rounded the corner to the exam room. They would need John if she didn't talk, but he was always there right when you needed him.
They wheeled her in to the room and quickly set to the business of getting everyone ready for the x-ray. Lead suits were passed around a large one was set on top of Wild "Tell me if it's too painful. Squint your eyes together twice if it's too much."

((Thank you. I edited. )) Wild smiled when she heard John's voice. He was one of the very few men she still trusted. She couldn't imagine John breaking a promise. Ever. I know, John. Thank you.Wild felt the lead suits being placed on the top of her. She heard what they said about squinting her eyes twice if the pain was too much. I don't have much strength left, but I'll try....

((they're lead suits))
As Isa finished lying the suit on top of her "Tell me how you feel, remember once for fine, twice for too much."

Wild heard Isa's voice talking to her.
I understand. Thank you, Isa.
Remembering that Isa couldn't read her mind, she squinted her eyes once, hoping Isa would understand that Wild had heard her, and would try to help.
