Nikolai
Not all truths
Belong to the light

Nikolai's arms ached as he carried the person to the cave he'd found. It wasn't much but it was shelter and far safer than just staying out in the open. Gently laying them down he mustered up the courage to look at their neck. The Ascended instantly felt sick. Although he'd left clean incisions from his fangs, they were deep. Too deep. That explained the worrying amount of blood loss and their loss of consciousness.
Nikolai only knew basic first aid, but he had to do something. He had bandages in his bag, a habit he'd developed while still an Accepted. He was grateful that it'd stuck after his Ascension. Taking the bandages, he tore them into strips and began to tend to their injury. He did his best to put enough pressure to limit further bleeding while not hurting them.
Once their injury was tended to, Nikolai sat back against the wall of the cave to wait. There was nothing else he could do besides send a quick prayer up to the Voice that the person would survive. Eying them he felt fluid buildup in his eyes again and he hastily rubbed them away with his arm, refusing to give himself the release of tears. He didn't have the right. "I'm so sorry." The words where hardly a whisper, likely inaudible to the unconscious Attuned.

Some lie in wait
