It had all gone wrong this time. In retrospect, Lio thinks maybe he'd been going too hard. He was on the brink of exhaustion, and his latest raid on livestock had been met with more resistance than it should have, almost as if someone had known he was coming.

He'd gotten away, thankfully, but not before he'd taken a number of blows -- arrows shot from crossbows with enough power that they'd pierced even through his scales. He'd ripped them out in flight and set the better part of a fallow field on fire before he'd flapped high enough to disappear into the cloud cover. That had been what saved him. It wasn't long before he couldn't keep himself aloft any longer, too much pain, too much blood lost.

Even maintaining his full draconic form is too much, and as he plunges to the Earth and tries to slow his descent with his wings, he fizzles back into his human shape, a lithe, slender man. His clothes are dark enough that the blood soaking them isn't obvious from a distance. He lands in a crumpled pile not far from a road through the woods, just off the trail in the underbrush. And that's the last thing he knows.

...

When he opens his eyes next, he's warmer than he expects to be. There's soft blankets beneath him and over him. He can smell something clean and earthy, herbal maybe, and light spills in setting the whole room in a comforting brightness and-- wait. He's in a room. The last thing he remembers is falling, and, oh.

He sits up all at once, hissing at the way his body protests the movement. Where is he? Has he been captured? Except no, if he'd been captured he'd be bound. Or dead. Maybe staked through to the ground. Not wrapped in soft blankets and tended to. "Where am I?" He asks the question mostly to himself as he blinks against his bleary vision willing it to clear, willing his eyes to focus.

The edge of the woods is his domain. As much as he likes other people a healer bound to the elements must be among them. That's fine by him and to the woods he lives by.

Galo glances at the sky as he sits on the edge of his window with his staff resting against his shoulder. A staff is a traditional symbol. Most healers these days don't use them. But when he'd finally been accepted he'd walked into the woods and let them guide him until a tree gave him his staff. He taps it against his shoulder as the sounds inside his home tell him his patient is awake.

His house has two beds, his own tucked away in the back of the house and the patient bed, it isn't far from the window. The floor is made of stone, and the shelves have some books but mostly every space that's safe to allow it has something growing there.

Galo is a tall man, corded with muscle and etched in the blue green tattoos that form vines and whorls of water over his chest and back. Another traditional symbol of his craft. One no one forgets. To be inked in such a way to make a pact with the earth and mother nature never likes to be double crossed.

He drops back into the house and gently lays his staff against the edge of the window. "Oh, you're awake. Thought you'd be down a little longer." Galo crosses the stone floor and sits on the edge of the bed the air growing lighter around him as he gathers magic to him, tapping his own reserves. He'd used so much last night to pull this man from the edge of death.

"You're lucky. The elements don't scream for a healer that often, but they did it for you. But don't try moving around much. You lost a lot of blood and you're still full of holes."

His brow furrows as he watches him shift about. His fingers twitch to reach for him but he knows better. Until a patient allows it he will not breach the distance.Some never let him and leave before treatment is finished. Those make him ache inside to do more.

Galo studies him, noting the faint glint of the man's tattoos he'd seen last night. Fire mage. He had to be. His parents had tattoos that looked like that. What little he can remember of them. Worry flicks across his face as he starts being sure this would be one of the people who leave before he can finish his work when the other man reaches out and touches his tattoos. Faint heat brushes against his senses. Definitely a fire mage.

"You were unconscious when I found you out by the road inside the woods. I wouldn't have found you if I wasn't looking. So, you know what comes next. I have to tell you the rules. You can refuse further healing. You can get up and walk out that door and I won't stop you."

He holds up a finger, his green eyes fixed on his. "If you agree to stay, you're only fit for travel when I say you are. And from the state of you that's going to be a while. Pulled you up from death's riverside! I can't heal you further until we build back up your reserves and mine!" He waves his finger and glances to the side as tree roots curve around the edge of his window and stretch down to the floor. Galo shoves a bowl of water over with his foot. The roots settle in it and he resumes right where he left off.

"But no matter who comes calling for your hide I'll send them packing. You're my patient! I'll sear anyone who thinks they can just walk into a healer's domain and take their charge." He says and flashes him a feral edged grin. Then he deflates a little into his more professional face. "But if you decide not to stay I'll get you set up for the road and see you off. I'll do what I can to make sure you got a fair chance."

He sags a little in relief then straightens back up, nodding once. "Alright! Don't worry about trouble. Right now, you need rest. You know how a healer of my kind does our work right?" Healers like Galo encourage the natural processes of healing to speed up using the body's reserves and their own magic. They do what they can to help that process but like nature itself. There must be balance. If the body is beyond saving it just is.

Galo gets up and walks to the center of his home. The pool of water in the center ripples as he approaches and picks up the tea kettle from the bench. He hooks it onto the stone hook above the water. A plant curves around the edge of the stone and offers leaves to him. He takes a few and drops them into the pot as a stream of water flows up into the pot itself. "The name's Galo by the way."

He looks over his shoulder, his grin back in full force. "Galo Thymos of the Burning Circle. Hope you're hungry. This pain draft I'm brewing for you works better if you've eaten. Works great without it but," He shrugs and sits on the bench, pressing his hand to the kettle itself. He murmurs soft words that sound like the whispers of a river's stream. His magic rises up, flowing through the air and filling it with the heat that is his own element, joining with those in the room. Wind, water, Earth, and his soul's fire.

"Always better to do the best we can."

Galo narrows his eyes at him and concern flickers in his eyes. He's never been a subtle person. His worries show on his face. Will he have to fight Lio every step of the way to save his life? Well, he's never been one to back down from a fight. Not when a life is on the line. "Yeah, you feel fire from me. My soul's always burning! I'm the flame in every spell I got. But don't change the subject."

He points at him and scowls with his shoulders back and head tipped slightly up. He's got his own pride. It shines in his green eyes. Only fools annoy their healer and this one is riled up. "The draft is so you can sleep! Which is what you should do after you eat. The more you rest the more times I can coax your body to heal faster. But only if you listen!"

Galo wags his finger once and gets up, padding over to a stone slab in the floor. He kneels down and pushes it aside. "You agreed to stay and take the full treatment. You a meat or plants or both kind of guy?"

There’s no missing the way Lio perks up at the mention of meat. Galo smiles to himself as he hauls up a bucket of water from the depths of the hole. He had went fishing earlier while Lio slept.

He sets the bucket by the hole and the slab slides back into place. “Then listen harder. I’m taking the steps to help you mend. You gotta trust that. Or you doubt a healer’s word?” He looks over his shoulder, his eyes sparking.

But the sparks fade as he sighs and reaches into the bucket. “Not that you’d be the first or wrong. Healers are people and they can be bias too.” Galo pulls the fish out and pins it to the stone slab. In seconds its fight is over. He slides a knife out of the side of the bucket and sets to work descaling the fish.

“We could compromise here. If you have problems with my suggestions, tell me. Tell me why. I’ll work with you and earn that trust.” He cuts the head off the fish and sets to making the cuts he wants to make. “That work for you?”

The sky is shades of orange and red bleeding into deep purple when Galo wakes up. He had fallen asleep half between in half form and for a moment doesn’t know where he is or what.

The second of panic passes and he sits up with Lio in his arms. His wings open then sweep around his mate as he climbs to his feet. “Hot springs,” He murmurs as he moves to climb to his feet. He can tell the eggs are alright.

They don’t need checking and the promise keeps rattling around in his head. Get to the hot springs then let everything else be somewhere else. For a time.

Galo pauses at the doorway, glancing back. The eggs are nestled in the flames. Safe. His shoulders relax.

He turns and walks across the hall. The room across the hall is lit by glowing crystals along the walls that brighten as he passes. His claws scrape on the stone as he approaches the steaming pool at the far side. He sets Lio down on the edge and sits down beside him.

Galo peels off his clothes and drops into the water with a hiss. “Yeah, this is exactly what I needed.” He turns to face Lio with his hand held out. “Come on.”

He stops and stares as Lio peels out of his own clothes. Tight pants and a coat give way to warm skin and toned muscle. His eyes are drawn to the dark scales forming patterns over it like guidelines of where to touch.

Lio’s happy sound goes straight through him and he presses closer, wrapping his arms around him. He dips his head and mouths at the back of his neck. His wings settle on either side of his mate as his hands slide down his shoulders and sides. “Mm, okay. This our home now.”

He leans into the touches to his scales and pulls Lio closer, wet skin rubbing against skin. His hands slide down and hook under Lio’s thighs. Galo hoists him up onto him and walks to the small shelf by the springs edge. He settles into it, pulling Lio into his lap.

A low growl rumbles in his chest and he runs his hands up Lio’s back, into his hair. Galo leans in and kisses him, teeth grazing his bottom lip. His groan is low and full of want. He ducks his head and kisses Lio’s neck in little pecks that turn into teasing bites on his way down to Lio’s chest.

He wants to hear Lio cry out for him.

Waking up is difficult when all he wants to do is cuddle Lio and keep dozing. Galo wakes by degrees. The forest is unhurried, patiently waiting for him like an old wise friend.

He bares a bit of fang at the open air, heat rolling out as he exhales. Wing a dragon feels like some puzzle piece fitted into place. This is what he was missing. He strokes a hand down the middle of Lio’s back as he opens his eyes. The nest is in gloom.

He can still see just fine. He raises his head as he breathes in. The kids are safe. Their eggs are all warmer and he can feel how they respond to their flames. He doesn’t know how long it will be until they hatch. Instinct says a while but shorter than normal. The blessing of the world.

He scents the air and makes a small noise that’s closer to a snarl.

Other dragons are near the lair. He pulls the fire lord, his mate closer and buries his face against his neck. He internally checks the time. Early morning. He reaches down through his druid abilities to the forest and it reports that while dragons are close they aren’t trying to enter. It seems they just wish to be near.

His hackles that had been rising, settle. He shifts to allay on his back with Lio on top of him. He drags his fingers through his hair and down his mate’s narrow back.

“Keep sleeping. They just want to feel safe.”

Being safe is new is a painful thought. Galo holds Lio close and wraps his wings around him. “Yeah,” He can feel it too. Their kids are aware enough he can-

His eyes fly open and he jerks up, holding Lio close as the knowledge hits him like an open handed blow. “I can feel them...” He breathes. Galo shakes a little from barely contained glee and excitement. His hands run down Lio’s back as he buries his face against him.

“I can feel their minds.” Sleep is forgotten. He blows a tiny puff of flame and breathes in. “Forest says we got another week? Maybe?”

He wraps his arms around Lio and nuzzles his neck. Before it felt like a dream. A good dream but a dream. This is real. His children. Lio’s children are real.

He rumbles low in his chest as he says, “Yeah, we’ll be ready. Seems like we really need to talk to Gueira and Meis as soon as we can. They know all that prepping for hatchling stuff. Or know someone of the flight who does.”

And he has to consult with the Arch Druid. A baby druid is soon to be born. He lets out a happy noise. Yes, this is a good day already.

If possible Galo grins wider and hugs Lio tighter. His grin is radiant as the sun coming out. “Of course! You need to know the circle anyway so we can work together to bring dragons back into pacts! And because dragon druids will be part of circles too!”

But not just that. He nuzzled Lio’s face with the side of his own with a low happy rumble of pleasure. “And they need to know my mate and partner anyway. It’s important to me for you all to know each other.”

He blushes as he ducks his head and steals a kiss from him. “How about that be the thing we do today? I was gonna go to them soon anyway. We got a druid to be that will hatch soon. And the others will want to know if I’m okay. I didn’t exactly talk to them since I dropped that bomb about Kray.”

He sort of fucked off after that. Galo coughs and looks to the side. “Ahh, I should have checked in.”
