Jedidiah:
The night was similar to any other moonlight passing; rather peaceful as one would expect a exuberant forest. The walk had a very relaxing effect for him, allowing him the quiet from the typical noise or craziness from the city. . . He mused in thought as he studied the surroundings; what new foods should he learn to cook? What builds or plans can he enact that would improve the house? Sure, he has a stairwell, but he does not want to invest in a ramp or a assistant seat to be able to climb the stairs. . . . cant let himself be encouraged by those sorts of improvements as much of a warmly welcomed comfort that might be. . . .he can still walk. . .and he has to keep doing so if he wants to improve the state of his leg . . or whats left of it . . .
OH but perhaps he should redue the wiring? He will need to label somehow which goes to which light but not having to walk across the entire house to turn a light on would cut time wasted looking for the light in the dark. Then there were other thoughts. . . should he start considering building a greenhouse? something to play with? Though it made him laugh the more he thought about that one. . . .someone might think he was preparing for an apocalypse. . . .
Though he does not have much of a green thumb. . . . .and does not know what plants to start with. . . perhaps a later date whenever he gets to reading up about those potential hobbies. Occasionally he would hear the small hunter stalking some smaller prey near by before stopping as he walked by. . . when he pasted, it would continue to move. . . An owl that swooped infront of him to grab a random mouse. . . .
It was like a wilderness documentary. Calming and fascinating at the same time. . .

August had been growing more confident in his exploration of all that Wathais had to offer. The mountains were a big draw, it felt good to be so close to nature after living in the last city. It had contained no such escape. The fresh mountain air sent an array of smells into his finely tuned senses. One slightly metallic scent had sent shivers down his spine, at the source was a nasty looking bear trap.
He decided then and there to make it his duty to deactivate every single last one, even if it took him all night. It was horrible to consider a poor bear getting his foot stuck in one, these hunters were the real monsters.
He had success so far but this one seemed stuck. He’d hit it plenty of times with a stick and nothing. He thrust the stick down on the trap with all his might, it snapped into pieces sending his hand straight down into the trap that snapped closed over his arm. He yelped loudly, blood tears filling his eyes. This is how Christian must have felt when his arm had been ripped off. Except at least August’s arm was still attached but if he couldn’t get free, it was going to end in a very bad morning. He looked around hopelessly, light glinting off his eyes. His heart dropped when he saw his mobile phone sitting just out of reach, the damn thing had fallen out of his pocket in his attempt. Lawdamimbo.

Jedidiah:
As he walked, he did not expect the sudden loud cry for help. . . was not too close, but. . . it stopped him. . .was that a deer? or a person? . . was that a super? Well, considering the last few months, he would not be surprised if it was a super or a regular person. . so he walked towards the direction of the scream. . " hello?" he called. due to his size, he could not help if he accidentally broke some branches, like how 4-6 foot people would at times accidentally break branches when they pass through. .
He moved carefully as he looked around to see if he could find something or someone if they need help. . . He did not want to accidentally step on the person or animal. .

August gritted his teeth with the pain, the metal teeth holding him down. It felt hot, almost like his entire arm was on fire. He’d been considering the ramifications of just ripping his arm out when he heard a voice. The sounds of movement, it sounded larger than a normal human. They didn’t smell quite human either but that was good. Less to explain when he began to heal.
“Hi? Hello? Please... help! I’m here!”

Jedediah:
He blinked before heading towards the sound of the person. . . Before seeing what was before him.
He did not give himself time to panic, seeing where the bear trap had clamped down apon . . .he needs to move the patient to the clinic to be treated. Remove the bear trap there to mitigate bleed out. . .
He moved quickly over towards the patient, being careful to not step on the patient.
"I'm here. It's OK, I'm a doctor, I'm here to help. I am going to take you to the clinic where I can properly treat you, ok? Please bare with me for a moment. " He replied. He kept his voice soft yet firm. . . He did not want the patient to become startled.
"I will need to carry you there. The bear trap will have to act like a tourniquet, at least until we reach the clinic where it will be easier to deal with the bleeding. " he explained.
"As much as I know you want it off, it will have to stay on until we get to the clinic. It will come off, just in a more controlled environment. " he assured.
He moved to pick the vampire up, grabbing the chain that connected the bear trap to the stake used to keep injured bears from hobbling off before snapping it rather easily. Small chain comparatively to him- didn't make it harder that his right arm is his prosthetic side. He tried to make sure he wasn't tugging the patient around when he snapped the chain.
"What is your name?" He asked.

August looked up at his large savior with a pained smile. The guy was unusually tall but August wasn’t sure if that made him a giant and it was kinda rude to ask. He didn’t really have a choice but to trust him.
“Lawdamimbo! I couldn’ta asked for a better person ta find me... “ August winced a little at the doctor’s words but he wasn’t wrong. He did his best to work with the man to be picked up and carried. He could feel his body trying to knit itself back together. The pain was pretty intense, vampire or no. Just because you could survive things humans could not didn’t mean it didn’t hurt the same.
“Ya not gonna experiment on me right? I mean not that ya have reason to.. heh..he .” He laughed it off awkwardly. “I’m August. Just... just a regular guy.”

Jedidiah:
He looked at the vampire, on one hand, rude, but the patient was probably terrified and or trying to deal with pain, on the other hand, something he seemed to get asked quite alot? which makes him sad. " I can assure you I have no intentions on experimenting on you. Can't do that to someone, especially when they are hurt and in need of help. " he replied. Seriously, what horror movies are people watching to think he will do that? . . . . . does he really fit a horror movie trope?
"And its alright, your not the first vampire I have treated. I might not know what kind of vampire you are, but your safe. . . .Just. . . please don't bite me. . . " he replied. "I've been told I taste like a heated rock or metal. . . to save you the curiosity. " he added. not pleasant either he thinks to suddenly be on fire from biting him. . . .though his body temperature was what? in the 700s?
He wishes it was higher so he could of went swimming with mom and the dogs in the mud house.
August was practically held within the crook of one of the giant's arms. . . with the bear trap in the hand of same arm. . .From the temperature of August's body felt, the pale complexion, the lack of 'normal' blood flow he could hear when he was near, and the considerably light weight in comparison to his height. . . .
It was safe to say he was a vampire of some sort. . . Immediately not of the Chinese variety from how loose his joints were. He was not the Australian nor Filipino variants, nor the African either. . . he was not the Japanese variant. . .perhaps European? Maybe?
"So, August, what sort of hobbies do you like to do? " he asked. He wanted to keep the vampire's mind of the pain. . . . the red cross of the clinic was in view but he was not at the clinic yet. . .He could see the glint of the glass doors of the building he build to be able to accommodate himself and others of his height and taller. . . . as well as accommodate those of normal height. "Any particular favorites in your hobbies?" he asked.

It felt very odd being picked up like he was a rag doll or something but he accepted it. He made a little oh of surprise when the giant called him a vampire straight off, he didn’t think he was that obvious. At least he didn’t have to worry about the guy freaking out later on. He was a bit offended that the guy assumed he went about biting everyone he met without permission. Not even blood thirsty vampires tended to be that crude. The guy was incredibly hot too, the heat coming from him was intense on August’s cold frame.
August tried to smile through the pain, he appreciated the distraction.
“I really like films and movies. I used to make films before I... Well ya know. Ummm I also like guns. Not ta kill anything just uh they’re pretty bombaroo. I like to collect cute stuff too but uh that’s between me and you... Dr?”

Jedediah:
He noted that the guy seemed abit uncomfortable? . . .perhaps fever? . . .something else? He needed to get him checked very quickly. . .make sure there was no infection . . .
Undead or not, vampires can potentially get am infection dispite the healing factor. . .
"You use to make your own films? That's pretty cool. " he replied. "What sort of films did you use to make?" He asked. Then when August led into the notion of 'Dr. . . ?' It clicked.
"Ah. . .apologies, I'm Dr. Jedidiah Gurulf. " he introduced himself.
Getting to the clinic was a relief. . . Moving to open the door and take the vampire into an examination room. "Alright. As promised we can start working to get this thing off of you. Do you have any allergies?" He asked as he carefully set August down on the table.
He did not waste time in getting supplied to clean and ultimately remove the bear trap. . .
But he needed to clean the area first, remove it, then clean again and check for any further damages. . .
Considering how this bear trap worked- he did not plan on cutting the jaws. . . .that would do more damage- risking amputation. . .
Nooo, he needed to cut the smaller components that allow the bear trap to function as it can. . .all the while avoiding altering the 'teeth' of it as to not shift the teeth one and within August's wound.

August grimaced slightly as he was jostled.
“Nice ta meet ya, Dr. Jed. Arthouse and horror. Last film I made ironically was about vampires. Never planned on becoming one meself.”
It was hard concentrating with the pain in his arm. At least he had no fear of gangrene or infection. The vampire body was constantly healing and replenishing itself, infections couldn’t even begin to form.
It was a relief for August to be in the clinic, the sooner he was free the better. He felt kinda guilty for imposing on this guy.
“Err nah... I’m a vampire. Used to be allergic to wool if that helps?”

Jedidiah:
He merely smiled. "Yes, this does help. . . he looked to make sure non of what he had wool material or by product before beginning. . .not wanting to cause an allergic reaction to see how sensitive he was to wool.
He moved to place a wash bin under August's arm where it and the bear trap sat. . . Given that he did not want any anesthetics, just meant one less step in this. . . but he will keep it handy if he starts showing early signs of shock. . . He used alcohol, and betadine to start cleaning the area, pouring the two one at a time onto the afflicted area of the arm. . .where the wound was. "So arthouse and horror? cool. . " he started to talk as he worked. "I've only started watching movies since. . . last year? . . Where I use to live, we did not have any form of cinemas or theaters. Internet wasn't exactly as common as it is here, either. "
He then got some mechanic's tools out? serialized. . . and began working on the smaller mechanisms to began removing the bear trap. . "Though. . I've unfortunately. . or fortunately? found myself to be quite the chicken when it comes to horror movies. " he mused.
This was obviously not his first bear trap removed, seeming to have a level of familiarity with the inner workings of the trap to not waste time outside of seeing how August's arm is positioned within the trap, itself. "What were some of your movies called? " he asked. "I've been trying to collect recommendations all around I guess to 'catch up' on what I've missed. "

August gaped a little at Jed’s confession. Haven’t seen many films and a chicken to horror. It made him a little sad but he was quickly distracted by the pain caused by the alcohol, it seemed a little unnecessary and he wasn’t even sure how his vampire blood would take it. The pain went quickly it seemed as his blood rid itself of the intruding elements.
“Well there was me film ‘Stop’ and uh The Vampyre... Well that’s what people called it anyhow. I wanted to call it Lychgate. I reckon they’re on YouTube if ya search. What have ya watched so far?”
He avoided looking at Jed or what he was doing. It was better not to know.

Jedidiah:
There was a pause in thought as he was trying to think of the list of movies he had seen so far while he loosened the iron vice like grip the trap had on the vampire's arm. . . "aaah. . . .there were three Russian movies. . . a few kong fu flicks, and there was this horror movie that was in German. . .it translated to 'the lost'? " he noted.
in a audible clank. . . the jaw of the bear trap began to slack. . . . the once death vice of a grip the trap had on his arm suddenly loosened. . with this, Jedidiah wasted no time in opening the jaws and placing the trap aside, before assessing the wound. . . "now, will you need some blood to help your wounds seal properly? " he asked, still, he grabbed for gauze and what not and moved to stem the bleeding. . . the wound cleaned prior and some bits re-cleaned. . . . now was a matter of not letting the vampire bleed out before he has the chance to heal. . .
assuming he has an accelerated healing capacity.

August was impressed with Jed’s movie choices.
“Lawdamimbo! The Lost is great. Ya quite a connoisseur! If ya ever need a movie buddy let me know! I can introduce ya to a whole hoard of great films.”
August winced a little as the trap was removed but his vampiric blood was already at work. There was much less blood than one would expect, it was already clotting and knitting flesh back together.
August nodded, he could feel the hunger rising already as blood was spent on healing.
“If ya have any bags it would be greatly appreciated. I ain’t very old so ah I tend ta need more blood for this kinda thing.”

Jedidiah:
"Well, im always open for suggestions in what movies to see." he replied, he was happy to see that the distraction was working- August did not seem focused on the injury. . . This was good in his head since the injury would although still be serious, because it is not in the forefront of his thoughts, it will not seem as painful. . .
When he was asked if he had blood bags, he nodded. "Yes, I do keep a few on hand at the clinic in the case of a need for a blood transfusion or if a patient happens to be of an vampiric nature. " he replied. . . He did treat a few. . . .not too many, but a few. . . .two of which did try to bite him, hence the warning he gave August preemptively. . . .It was also how he knew of what the opinion was on the taste of his blood was- not that he was interested or wanted to know.
Nor did he want to go through the quarantine, paperwork and the testing for vampirism he had to go through when the two incidents occurred. "Just give me one moment to go grab you a bag. " he nodded. He then left to go retrieve a blood bag and document it. . . .before re-entering and offering the blood bag to the patient.
It was an o type blood, from a perfectly healthy donor. Though this raised the question to him; was he registered? Or should he call up WSDA for assistance? He was not attacked, yet he was injured. . . The bear traps might of been for supers, the bias he has for a group of hunters that have been chasing patients into his clinic leads him to that inicial conclusion. . . yet the bear traps could of also just been for that purpose since there are bears in the area as well as a few buildings along the tree line that have reported sightings of such. . . .
Hell, a bear did try to attack a staff member, to which he chased off to protect the staff member . . .and to see if he could tame it? adopt it. . . .something of the sort.
In the case of non assault type instances. . . He typically offered up meeting the patient with a civil worker, alot of cases, Simon, to register and help them. . . .He pulls call for them in the medical wing, after all. . . Though he has not made any prognostics for them, done any of the sort of surgeries for them yet either. . . . either they do not know, or they do not need this. . . .Not something he was going to push since he does do such in his own practice.
Probably a question to ask when hes not bleeding on his floors. . . . .and not under duress from the injuries sustained from the bear trap.
