DANNY • WEREWOLF MEDIC • TAGGED; Mark, Aspat
xxxxThat was a blow to the chest. Danny had to genuinely pause for a moment before slowly looking back at Mark. Mark had been the previous Beta, hadn't he? So he must've been close with the alphas. That made Danny shake his head a little slowly; the passing of all the pack members had definitely been running across his mind. It was almost too many deaths at one time. It had never been like this before, which was confusing to him. What was suddenly happening to where everyone was being wiped out? Danny clutched the phone in his hand tighter, gritting his teeth and inhaling deeply just to try and get his mind to calm down. The way he was burning right now, under the skin, wasn't a good sign and he really needed to be calm for the patient in the basement.
xx"I'm sorry about your loss, Mark." he said quietly, once again looking up at the other man. "Everything seems to be going downhill lately, for no reason. I'm hoping that it'll all be over soon." he added, trying to disarm the extreme amounts of sympathy and 'pity' in his tone. Some people hated seeing others give them emotions, he'd noticed, and considering he didn't know Mark? He didn't want to start this future-friendship off on the wrong foot. Shaking his head slightly, Danny looked at the door to basement that they were now approaching. Danny decided to do a quick check of everything when they paused at the door; the flashlight was on and working, there were clothes, bandages, antibiotics, peroxide, bandage clips; his eyes scanned the entire list in Mark's arms before he was slowly nodding. They had everything except what Adam had advised. He didn't want to make the hunter think that they were down there to torture him or something. Alas, hunters were unexpected and despite him hoping for the best, he wasn't sure what exactly was going to happen.
xxDanny nodded at Mark's comment, feeling a little nervous under the layer of protection he was being offered here. "Understood." having someone concern over him in this sense was a new feeling; it wasn't like he took a guard with him every time he went out to buy extra stocks of medical supplies. Either way, he appreciated everything that Mark was willing to do, even while he wasn't an actual pack member yet. Danny watched the door open slowly and, without hesitation after it was fully opened, walked into the darkness. The flashlight illuminated the wooden steps that descended downward, his eyes steadily adjusting to the growing darkness. The darkness wasn't the only thing he was aware of right now, he could also smell an overwhelmingly large amount of blood. Fresh blood, to be exact. This made Danny kick into his natural, medic instinct of wanting to help whoever was wounded. It was an instinct inside of him that was old as time and almost uncontrollable sometimes.
xxReaching the level floor at the bottom, Danny shined the flashlight down the rest of the steps for Mark before he was off and scavenging around for a light switch. It took him a couple moments but soon he was turning the switch on and looking above him to watch everything spring to life. Turning the phone off quickly, he spun around on his heel and felt his heart take a leaping dip. The hunter in the cage looked absolutely horrible, to say the least. Danny stared at the hunter before shaking his head and looking at the actual cages in the basement. Cells? He'd never been down here, for context, and this made him feel a certain type of way. Definitely a certain type of way. Of course, judging the style of this pack was not on his list of things to do right now. It was time to try and get acquainted with the hunter so he could figure out what to do. Moving closer to the front of the cell, he took mental note that hunters weren't necessarily trustworthy; they'd do anything to get away from certain death.
xxxxWaving a little to the injured person in the cage, he stood in front of the thick bars carefully. "To start this off, neither of us are here to hurt you. I'm Danny, a medic for the pack, and I just want to make sure you don't die in this cell anytime soon." he explained briefly, pausing to look at Mark. "I think I'm one of the few in this group who would be upset to hear that you've bled out." Danny wasn't too sure if Mark would take offense to being introduced, so he held off on that introduction. Finished with his own small talk, however, he gave Mark a little nod to signify that he could speak, if he wanted.
