First week at work... (Open)

Changes...

Some people feared changes, other liked tham and even looked for them. Changes were tricky things, they were options that life and Gods gave the human kind to see their different ways to do something or to act at different kind of situations. Maybe the gods thought that human kind was wise enough to know the difference between what the like and need, but not many had that sort of wisdom. Also to finally decide to make a change in life no matter how small or big could be that change, it implied not only a change in actions, but of mind and heart too, if not the change wouldn't be real.

Millions of people around the world decided everyday to change something in their lives, from hair styles to carrers. One of those millions was Lilith McKinnon. Once she had decided to become a warrior, to be a deathly weapon for the Empire. But no matter how hard she tried to do it, how hard she trained and trained, she never got to be that good. Her archery was 97.5% accurate and that was before Felicity stabbed her with her iron stygean sword. Now her real accuracy was 82.3%. so her dreams of being a warrior were just that, dreams.

She had other virtues, other gifts from the gods, her voice for an instance. She could bring peace and joy or anxiety and sadness to whoever listened her singing, whatever she wanted them to feel. That was a nice gift from Apoll and maybe also part of it was from Mors, who new. For months she had been singing in the infirmary to the injured campers, but not only very recently she had realized that she would actually work in the infirmary, not only as a volunteer, but as a medical assistant.

The moment she realized she could be a better person and provide a better service to Rome and the Empire being a peaceful medical assistant, she felt anxiety, she was afraid of change, but she did it. She had a talk to Mors and asked for his opinion, he told her such beautiful words that her soul felt peace and it was easier for her to completely decide for her change of heart and career. she also asked Jason to help her, to teach her how to be a healer, Jason agreed to do it and even gave her a permanent job in the infirmary as his secretary.

That had happened only a week ago. Lilith was more or less used to the filing in the office and knew almost all the names of the healers in the infirmary by then. She also knew how to deal with minor injuries, even the ones that needed some small stitches. Jason had been amazing. But now, he got a promotion, Praetor! That was an amazing thing! But she lost her boss and teacher now Tessa had that post. Tessa was a bit more strict than Jason in both the medical and the administrative stuff, but Lilith was ok with that, she loved her new job and she was giving her best effort in it.

That day she was finishing the filing, placing the prepped files on the cart and the released papers in the right files too. The office was at last ordered and neat. "Well, finally..." she was smiling widely at her work when someone walked into the infirmary...

It was bound to happen, he was no where near being a master at stealth and hiding, but it just had to be a Mars kid that found him. The name of his friend had been dropped by a girl, daughter of Venus if he got his information right, so he decided to listen in on it. Lilith had always been volunteering in the infirmary for her soothing voice, and he'd camped outside of the building a few times to listen to it when he could, but this was different. She decided it would be a good thing to start working there as a healer. He was proud of his friend, and couldn't help but smile at the fact. He waited and listened to the conversation and Lilith's name came up only once or twice, but that was fine. It happened that while he was there he laughed, what at wasn't exactly important. It was a small hardly noticeable one, but more than enough to get him snatched up by a much larger male. Name calling ensued, and Lance took a few good hits. Then out came the gladius, Lance wasn't entirely sure what he'd done to have the male bring that out. Something about standing up like a man? Lance was standing, he hadn't fallen from those punches after all. They did make him a bit dizzy though, in fact he actually might not be standing. Lance re-evaluated himself, he was leaning against the tree a bit, but still up. Yes it was the tree, yes he was standing, so what was this guy talking about?

The sword came at him, and Lance brought his daggers out to redirect the hit to the tree. Unfortunate for the tree, but luckily the male got his sword stick there. Lance took a step back and attempted to talk to the male, who looked to be about his age just a bit more muscular. Apparently talking wasn't an option at the moment and he produced another weapon, putting a combat knife in Lance's shoulder. He didn't flinch, but instead took the opportunity to relieve the boy of his knife and ability to use his arm. With a quick well placed punch Lance dislocated the boys main sword arm, before backing up. Clenching his teeth, the blade hurt a good amount in his shoulder, but he could tell the other was having a rough time with his own. Lance again attempted to talk to the boy, but it was the female that was able to stop him. She made him go to the infirmary, and told Lance he needed to do the same. Not like Lance was planning on walking around with the knife sticking out of his shoulder all day.

Waiting until the pair was out of sight, he finally made his way to the infirmary. The knife was left where it was so it would at least partially keep it from bleeding everywhere. It was best to leave things where they were until you could actually bandage them up. He hoped it would be fine with just a bit of bandaging, if he saw correctly the back had a serrated edge. That was not going to be fun to pull out. His head was fairly well cleared up after the punches, and he wondered if he had a black eye. He'd find out soon though, he made it to the infirmary. It shouldn't have been hard to put the guys arm back in place and send him on his way, bandaging took longer. Obviously. Looking around he thought her saw Lilith. Moving closer he realized it was her, working at the main desk with all the papers well organized. Ever since Jason became Praetor and Tessa took over the Infirmary it seemed the strictness on cleanliness and orderliness went up.

“Hey Lilith! Have your own desk and everything!” he said with a smile, even if it was just the main welcome desk that belonged to whomever was on duty he still thought it'd be a nice joke to divert her attention from his bleeding arm and bruised up face.

Lilith put the last files in the right racket and smiled, she was glad she had taken that job, she felt so useful, so happy, maybe she had death and light in her veins, and she loved Mors with all her heart, he was her family and whoever tried to say something against him she would do everything in her power to stop them, but she felt good when she helped others to be healthy and alive. Suddenly she heard some footsteps coming, her heart skipped a bit, she was excited and nervous, she had helped Tessa once or twice, but that was it!

Then she heard a kid's voice, she smiled widely when she heard that voice, she didn't have a lot of friends in Camp, no matter the reason she could only count them with the fingers of her hand and that voice was of one of those freinds. She lifted her sight and looked at Lance. "Lance! is so good to see you..." but all the happiness and excitement partially diminished when she saw all the dirt, the mud and also the blood on some of the spots where he had been injured, for sure training. "well, I see you've been training hard."

Her voice got back some of the excitement, she had learnt that her attitude was something important when healing someone, she may be scared or worried, even sad and depressed, but she shouldn't let the patient to notice that, she always needed to be strong and put her best face, so they feel confident that she would be able to heal their injuries and wounds no matter what. Never really lie to them, but didn't depress them either, so she smiled again at Lance and got up walking to where he was. "Well, yeah, it is kind of a receptionist or assistant desk, but I'm so glad to have it!" she realized that she didn't have to bend a lot to check his shoulder, he seemed to have grown up a bit, that was good... he wanted to be a big man, like Levi was.

She looked at the knife in the shoulder and then walked around Lance checking the back of the wound, she saw that the knife went throught his shoulder and made a clean way out, but what worried her was the serrated blade, that was going to hurt when it came out. "well, it seems like you had a good fight against Edward Scissor-hands..." she said remembering a story her mother used to tell her when they lived in that Scottish Isle. "This will need some points and stuff..." then she moved and looked at his face, several bruises were popping on his pale skin, the worst one was a black bruise on his eye.

"ok, come. I should take that off on a stretcher." she smiled at him as she put a clean cloth on his shoulder, the place where a thin line of blood was running down. "who won the match?"

He saw the light of her eyes give way just a little to the worry, well he tried. He might not be good at talking, ever, but he disarmed two weapons from a mars kid, that was something! Thankfully it wasn't someone like charlie, and her three to eight weapons on her at all times. He wondered how she could walk around with all that metal on her. Even if she didn't have those weapons, he was fairly certain she constituted as a weapon. Don't people with certain martial arts need to be registered for that very reason? It could be an urban legion though. He wondered if she would get a kick out of it if he got her a card that registered her as a lethal weapon. Perhaps not, he didn't know her very well at least on record. He'd heard about her and seen her in trainings though. It wasn't hard finding the circles to hang around when people started talking about things, it was difficult to pull the truth from lies and exaggerations. He was still working on it though. It was something you had to find from multiple sources and try and trace back to the original, if you really wanted the correct information. Which he did always want, his dad told him imperfect information was worse than no information. “Yeah.” he said brightly, it wasn't altogether a lie to say that he was training. He was learning to sneak better, so technically it was training. He didn't like to lie outright, and would much rather keep his mouth shut. He was never sure if he could tell a lie while knowing it was a lie though, he never tried, and his mother was Veritas. He felt kind of bad if he told a lie, though wasn't her story about how elusive truth was? “They just want to keep up the team work, so you have a team desk.” he grinned, it'd been a while since he was talked to her. She seemed shorter, or maybe he had grown taller? That seemed more likely. Though he was still rather thin on the muscles department. He figured he wouldn't be big and buff like some of the more physical oriented demigods, but Mercury was the god of athletics too! So he should be able to get a bit bigger, right? “Haha, no. Just one blade in my this time, I figured coming here would be better than me messing up and pulling it out on my own. Though I see plenty of people do that...” and they end up bleeding everywhere. Sometimes you could accidentally cute a tendon doing that too. Lance kind of liked the use of his arms. Sure if one where to be cut off he'd have to live with it, but if he did it to himself on accident he'd probably just hide in the shadows from shame forever. “Stretcher? I can't just sit here on a stool I mean you just pull it out and wrap it up right?” He wasn't thinking about how you have to disinfect it, and depending on the wound put a few stitches in. He also hadn't notices the small cuts on his face from the fists, bandages or clear stitches could go there and he'd be fine though.

Notes: Sorry the delay, finally she came alive! <3

Lilith wondered how many demigods would have the common sense to think like Lance thought about his injury. She has seen a lot of demigods that were injuried in trainings and most of them thought that it would be a complete waste of time to go to the inirmary and get that injury treated in a proper way by those who knew how to take care of the wounds in a human body. Most of them pulled the swords out, damage their bodies even more, they could pull a tendon in a wrong way, or even cut it, then the limb would lose the proper movility or worse it could stop being useful in the battle sense, which she thought was the worst side of a bad treatment.


She continued checking Lance's wound and then looked at him and smiled at him in a cute way. "Well, at least you got the common sense to come and get well treated, I would hate to have to ask an Apollo child to heal you with their magic. it is better for the body to be able to heal on its own, that gives it the ability to get stronger around the wound, also it teaches itself how to react next time to defend itself from those wounds, I feel that magic healing only makes the body kind of lazy about it." She smiled at him and then frowned at his words, he was still that shy cute boy that she met so many months ago, no matter how tall he could get, he still was a shy kid inside.


"Lance, you need to sit down on a high place where I will be able to see your wound, also to see if it needs stitches or only a good tight bandage. Not all sword wounds are the same Lance." SHe said and walked with him to one of the ambulatory rooms, he wouldn't need to stay over night, she didn't think he would at least.  Then she looked at some of the Venus nurses and nodded at them, they were a great help, unless they were flirting with the Mars guys or any others. "oh, wait a min!" she said and jogged back to the files, there she grabbed Lance's and then walked back to where he was standing. "I need this to write down what happened to you and also what treatment you got here." she was very organized on that.
