It felt like he was winning the pointless argument, which he wasn't sure if he was happy about, or indifferent about. Hearing her request for assistance and the noise she made, he was about to get on her about the dramatics and how absurd it was. However, his body reacted before he could stop himself and he caught the queen in his arms. Why couldn't he have just let her fall to the ground with a thud and leave her there?!
Frowning at not stopping there, though what was he really going to do? He couldn't really yell at a limp body. Didn't give him the same satisfaction, he's tried it before. Lifting her up in his arms, he cradled her injured head against his chest, making sure he didn't worsen her injuries. He practically ground his teeth down to nothing, to keep himself from showing more weakness then he had before. Even though no one else was around, he couldn't be sure who might be within earshot.
Sure enough, on his way to the Healer's room, he ran into some Hench whelp giggling at him and accusing him of 'killing' another one. Moron.
Otrox, surly and tough that he was, normally left the queens alone. He had some boundaries. Though no one was safe from his bad moods. If he didn't have his paws full, he would have thrown something at the younger toms head. At the very least, he'd have punched him. Perhaps he would after he got Jellylorum to her new room and settled. His eyes did look down at Jellylorum, assessing her injuries. He was no healer, but due to his stubbornness, he did have to learn how to dress his own wounds from time to time.
Her head wound was the only one he noted to be the worst off. Coming into the Healer's room, he saw three others there. Two laying down, complaining about some stomach pains, nonsense; and one sitting on the bed with his leg gushing blood. "OUT...NOW!" Otrox bellowed, and the tom with the injured leg hobbled out, as well as the two stupid "Tummy ache" patients. Laying Jelly down on the closest bed, ignoring the pain in his side, he looked for the first aid supplies.
There was no way he was going to admit to dressing her wounds, or to why he would. He put some rubbing alcohol on the rag, and dabbed at her bleeding forehead. Then as soon as that was done, he grabbed the gauze and wrapped the corner of her head where her injury was. Finally, he sat down on the bed beside, with the bottle of rubbing alcohol in his paw. Pouring it into his side wound, he hissed out in pain, and sagged a little on the bed.
He needed more, but he too was exhausted from the day's activities. At least it wouldn't get infected, he thought grimly and let his eyes glance up at the ceiling as he laid down. All he could do was wait. Macavity would probably kill him if he let Jellylorum die not even an hour after she became their head healer.

Jelly's conciousness returned slowly. Strangely she felt warm, secure & even comfortable? She felt someone warm & solid next to her, but she was so tired, her body didn't even register more than safety. Part of her mind tried to warn her--tell her something wasn't right, but the stubborn female tuned it out. Still in an exhausted state from her tulmultuous introduction to hench life, she didn't even register who she was with. Slowly her battered body turned towards Otrox, & she snuggled closely against him, her arms entwining themselves around his neck. A feeling of contentment flooded her, relaxing her even further. Jellylorum gave a soft sigh of contentment & fell into a deep sleep, securely resting her head against the rugged tom's broad chest.

Otrox had been fighting against falling asleep, and for the past few hours he had been struggling against it. Though somewhere along the way, his struggle was in vain and he had drifted off. He wasn't sure when it had happened, because one moment, he was just sitting next to Jellylorum in bed, though at a respectable distance, and the next his side was warm. In his faint conscious state he was vaguely aware of an arm wrapping itself around his neck and a head on his chest. He had been a while since he found himself in bed with another body, and in his half sleep, his paws wound around Jelly's waist, his one paw slowly caressing its way down toward her butt. With his paw securely on her butt, her pressed solidly against his body, he felt sleep begin to overtake him again.

Jelly nestled closer to Otrox's body with a sleepy 'muuurr'. She was so tired still. Then her mind registered that something was. .wrong. Her paw came up & felt the soft warm bulk of a body next to her. Slowly, her mind cleared & she felt herself being tightly, but not uncomfortably, held against a hard male body. Who? Otrox?! she thought, still dazed. Her nose confirmed, it was indeed the ornery male & from the scent they were back in the infirmary. She attempted to sit up & to move away, but found she couldn't. Otrox had his paw firmly on her behind & was pressing her close. Jelly was in a quandary, part of her wanted to squeal & jump away like an outraged governess. . but the feminine part of her wanted to snuggle closer & well, explore his handsome form. She settled on doing neither. The butter colored queen resigned herself to not being able to get loose & settled down to watch her bedpartner. . soon drifting off again.

Otrox moved subtly in his sleep, his own mind finding to wake up. He was too[/b] comfortable, he was warm, he didn't have to deal with reality and the pain he was in, he could forget and he actually felt happy. Something he hadn't felt in a long time. Even unconscious though, he knew he had a bed partner. Which confused him enough to start to stir awake. He couldn't remember, when was the last time he went to the bar and left with a date? Breathing in deeply, the scent was vaguely familiar and finally the events came rushing back to him.
Shit, shit, shit!
His paw, which he began to realize with rising horror and anger, was on her butt. Taking his paw off, he got up quickly, staggering to his feet. Instantly, he began to feel dizzy from rising up way too fast. He fell down to the ground, with a small groan, and a more audible thud. Just fracking perfect. If the butt groping hadn't woken her up, his stupidity surely had. He'd stick around long enough to make sure she wasn't dead or going to die and then he could retreat to his den, or even high tail it to one of the bars. Wouldn't be the first time he got sloshed and had sex while he was injured.
Though to be fair, the alcohol had dulled his senses enough to where the pain didn't bother him. Gripping his head to make sure things weren't still spinning he almost asked how long he had been asleep, though Jelly had been asleep a lot longer. His eyes did gaze up over the bed to see if the butter tabby was awake yet.[/color]

Jelly was having a sweet dream. . one she's had before, where a handsome tom was holding her & gently exploring her body. Until recently, she could never place a name with the face. Suddenly she as wrenched out of the warm fantasy by a loud crash & a cold draft hit her shivering body. Bewildered, she sat up. Disoriented, she looked around blankly then refocused on the tom on the floor. Reality flooded back & she blushed. Then irrationally, she got annoyed with the tom on the floor. "Just what do you think you are doing?" she asked with a slight snarl in her voice. Inside, she privately assumed that either he was making some weird pass to aggravate her or because. . well, she couldn't think of another reason really--just to see if he could maybe? She pushed away the familiar ball of hurt that thought engendered. The Great Cat knew she wasn't all that attractive, but she didn't need some ornery handsome tom illustrating the point. Slowly, she stood, letting the slight dizzy headache fade before moving around too much. Looking about the room, she noted the silence & the tidy appearance of everything. Calming herself with an effort, she went Otrox & looked at him, a calm cool mask on her face. "Well, since the hordes of patients you promised me are conspicuously absent, what now?"

The surly tom made a face, before his usual mask of annoyance and indifference replaced it. The fall had aggravated his injuries, but he was no worse for wear. His eyes glanced upward at Jellylorum and he growled softly. "Oh, I just felt the need to polish the floor with my fat arse. What does it look like I'm doing? I fell." His voice was thick with sarcasm.
With a slow, and a failed attempt to look graceful standing up, he shook his mane and stalked towards the door. "They skittered away in fright when I dragged you in." He spoke as though that were obvious. Then he shrugged, his fingers tracing the edge of the counter near the front of the room. He was listening, sort of, but he was searching for more rage and gauze to take with him.
To dress his own wounds alone[/i], in the comforts of his own bedroom. "I suppose you should get better acquainted with this room, and I'll leave."[/color]

The butter queen was getting a little tired of Otrox's attitude. She was also strangely a bit confused & comforted by it. Lothario had been like that a bit, argumentative & insulting, but loyal & sweet underneath. Although, she thought wryly, she hadn't seen a sweet side to this tom yet. Firmly, she stalked over to her prey. . umm. . first patient. Cooly, she looked into his face. "Well, if the other henches are afraid of me, then perhaps I should earn it." With that--knowing she was taking a huge risk, she reached for his largest injury & put her paw squarely on it. "Before you go anywhere, I am treating this." she said stubbornly. "It will just ruin my reputation if you go off & die on me." she said a gleam in her eye, adding a small dig. Jelly let go of his injury & started her preparations for cleaning it, & got out the stitching supplies. She wasn't hopeful that the overly stubborn tom would hold still long enough for this, but it was worth a shot. Advancing on the large male she gestured to her exam table, "Would you prefer the more formal attempt at this or shall I deal with your injuries where you stand?" She had the audacity to look a little amused. "If you run away before you let me do this, I will just follow you you know, & that would just be embarrassing for everyone." She giving him a surprisingly beautiful smile, "feel free to swear & complain for a bit longer, if it makes you feel better." she added teasingly.

((Because it's never going to be good enough! Here's the best I could come up with. *headdesk*))
Otrox watched the healer with a keen eye. He was wary, more because there were now two of her and he felt woozy, but he did see enough of her fiery streak to know she'd probably be capable of anything. At being proved right, he had tried an arrogant smile, but the pain that flooded from his wound (from her paw touching it) rushed through the rest of his body. He gave out a grunt , and the arrogant smile didn't reach his eyes and finally faded after holding it for mere seconds. "Or you'll earn your scary reputation if I do go out there and die." He spoke through gritted teeth, panting through the pain.
It wasn't anything he hadn't felt before, but only through his sheer stubbornness kept him from screaming out in pain, or passing out from it. Was probably the only reason he was still talking and insulting others, more precisely her. "You mean where I sit...?" He cocked an eyebrow at her, but helped himself up from the floor and practically fell backwards onto the nearest bed. His eyes were still trained on Jelly, unsure what to really make of her. She both intrigued and infuriated him, and he hadn't even spent a full hour with her yet. Looking at Jelly through half-lidded eyes he chuckled darkly to cover up the residual flicks of pain he was experiencing. "Follow me, eh? Don't tell me, you're already sweet on me. And no. Faster you patch me up, the faster we'll be out of each others fur."

(( your post is wonderful X2, so there. )) Jellylorum refused to falter under the tom's thunderous look. Inwardly she winced, scolding herself for losing her temper a bit. She also gave an inner grumble at his intransigence. why couldn't toms just do what was best without all this fuss? she wondered. Still, that was probably made them so darn fascinating. A thought the butter calico would never voice out loud. The matron quietly started her treatments of Otrox's wounds again--her gentle hands belying her sharp tongue, stifling the pang in her heart from the casual comment that he'd love to get away from her. Her mind unwillingly going to how lovely it had felt to lay beside him & be held & touched. She hadn't had that since . . well since Lothario had died. Her stubborn chin went up as she again denied the softer side of her nature, & she answered acerbically, "Let's get you patched up first, then you can escape my evil clutches. Of course, you did promise to Macavity that I would be safe here. . .how do you plan to accomplish that little task?" She gave a tiny shudder at the thought of that killer, Darkstar & his cold, dead eyes. Now that tom was one she didn't want to be anywhere near--ever. she thought, again refusing to voice her concerns aloud. If she couldn't count on Otrox, then she would just find a way to manage. that was all. "Not that I am trying to prolong our association mind you, but I would be unable to perform my duties if I were dead or badly injured." Carefully, the slender queen placed the bandages binding the last of his wounds. There, you're done. Now, why don't you run along & get out of my fur, so I can treat the real patients."

Otrox was still for once, as he felt her gentle paws on his body bandaging up his own injuries. His thoughts were swimming chaotically in his mind, but he resisted voicing anything out loud. He had his own reputation; he was a loner,...and the occasional slutty drunk. But he usually saved that side of him at the nightclubs in the city. Only a few henches had seen his slutty drunk act, and didn't seem to care much. Not if they valued their lives. But if it got out that he was even nice...nicer to the jellicle healer, he'd be a joke. Didn't matter that she was technically a hench at the moment. Still, with the intense pain he was feeling, and his damn stubbornness wouldn't let him pass out, he concluded that he wasn't really thinking straight.
He slowly raised up into a half sitting position on the bed, after she was done bandaging him up. He hadn't even processed the task of keeping her safe, and how that implied to him, before she was insulting him and basically throwing his ass out the door. "Real...patients. Well geez, darlin'. I didn't know I was a flipping figment of your imagination." He growled gruffly, beginning to move himself off of the bed he lay on. He was fairly certain that she could have just patched him up from the floor without him dragging himself to the bed in the first place. "Tell me, darlin'. After you passed out, how do you think you made it to the medical ward? For that matter, who do you think bandaged your own wounds?"
Otrox grumbled to himself. Oh she was in for a rough visit if she was going to treat all the henches that way. "Take this advice for what it's worth. You can insult me." Otrox cautiously moved into her personal space,"Hell, be as rough as you like with me, honey. I can take it as well as I can dish it. However, the rest of our eclectic community is full of over-sensitive, whiny punk ass babies. If you treat them the same way you're treatin' me, then even a bodyguard won't be able to keep you safe." His jaw clenched in frustration, figuring the little spitfire wasn't going to listen or heed his warning. And why should she? She didn't know anything about him, no one did.
"Just give me something for the pain, firecracker. Then you can watch my ass as I walk away."

The slender healer tensed a little as Otrox got closer to her--crowding her slightly & drew in a slow breath. bad idea! he smelled waaay too good, but Jelly wasn't about to back off.
She had managed to keep things professional as she had been tending his wounds--but she had to admit (only to herself of course) that he had an extremely rugged body--made for explorations of a certain sort. .
Jelly sharply reined in her wayward imagination as she realized in horror that she was softening towards the ornery male. Instead, she lifted her indomitable chin & looked at him coolly. Now was Not the time to be admiring a tom, especially a hench & especially an antagonistic hench! she scolded herself--careful that no sign of her thoughts appear on her stubborn face. besides, what would a male like him want with an over-the-hill plain female like her anyway? She could still hear her mother's scathing opinions on males & Jelly's lack of attractiveness echoing in her head. The butter calico resolutely banished the painful memories & calmly inspected Otrox's physical state.
Hiding her momentary weakness behind arrogance& sensing there was more truth behind his words than he was willing to admit, she nodded stiffly. "I will bear your words in mind." Turning she went to the cabinet to explore what pain relievers she had on hand & settled on a mild analgesic made with willow bark. It was bitter but effective, & had the added advantage of not making one drowsy. She measured out a few days worth of doses & sealed it into a twist of brown paper.
She offered the package to him. "Here, this will relieve the pain without making you sleepy. I have a feeling any weakness of that sort can be dangerous here." The small queen started to turn away then stopped, feeling a bit guilty over her sharp tongue, adding softly, "and thank you for tending to my needs, I do appreciate your help. You are . . welcome to stay if you wish. I will try not to be too difficult."
This time she did turn away & busied herself at the medicine cabinet familiarizing herself with what was stored there, sneaking one long look at his very fine ass. . .
