[✚] Infirmary

Hangeng was seated on one of the more comfortable chairs in the infirmary though anyone who considered being stuck or in the infirmary a place of comfort was mad, in his opinion. He grabbed one of the many ointments that the ringmaster had managed to collect in his many travels around the world. The scent was soothing and it eased the ache of his knee that he had strained in the practices he had scheduled the day before. The pain wasn't something he could not handle, but the discomfort that partnered with every step he took were getting on his nerves. He smothered the skin around his knee with the paste like substance before wrapping it up with white gauze.

A few drops of blood hit the floor as she searched for the first aid kit. Amber had cursed multiple times after failing to find the kit. She was known for being ready but for the first time, she didn't have any remedy in her room nor in her pocket.
"Where is that damned KIT!"

Amber entered the infirmary slowly. She hadn't been in this place for awhile and she didn't know who works there anymore. There was no one around. The place was empty. That was the only time she felt at ease. Her body relaxed but she winced when she moved her right arm.
She wasn't being careful when she was training one of the cubs. Amber had been careless and didn't see the cub poising for a strike. In the end, she got bitten on the shoulder. The cub was punished for it and isolated from the rest of the tigers she cared for.

"This will be a problem." She muttered. She didn't know where the bandages are and her shoulder was bleeding a lot than she expected.

Hangeng sighed as he walked behind the ringmaster, making sure the other wouldn't fall again or anything else. He furrowed his brows, wondering how his own feline family were doing. He puffed out his cheeks suddenly feeling something on his leg and looking down he saw Devon, purring to get his attention. He lifted the cat into his arms, still following the man an he scratched his cat behind his chin.

"In the meal tent and my room," Onew answered, rubbing the back of his neck sheepishly. "'My baby must be so hungry..." he muttered to himself as he darted from Hangeng's side and limped onwards to feed his cat. Poor Kira, he thought... guilt clawed at his chest at the idea that his cat had to suffer because of him. This was the only thing that didn't confuse him, this cat, and he wasn't even treating him properly.

Hangeng sighed heavily as he pushed himself up to sit and slide off. He rubbed his face slightly as he stretched his back. "Alright, alright," he muttered as he tried to locate Kira though he stopped and looked back at the ringmaster. "Where do you keep the food?" he asked raising a brow.

Onew had almost drifted off into sleep when he realized he had yet to feed Kira. The little kitten was probably starving. With a jolt of surprise and a little shout he rolled off Hangeng, falling on his as he missed his landing and hit the floor. "Oof!" he groaned, scowling at himself as he dragged himself into a standing position."Hyung! I forgot to feed Kira!" he shouted, nudging the other awake.

Hangeng remained quiet, thinking it would be best for the other to fall asleep. He wasn't tired as the other was, but he'd pretend to be asleep if it would get the other to rest. He yawned, closing his eyes as he moved his arm to hide his eyes from the light. His chest moved up and down, slowing down.

He didn't have any intentions of going further, knowing he could kiss Hangeng but to sleep with him was something he still would have saved for one person for a long time. The ringmaster contented himself by lying his head on Hangeng's chest, closing his eyes as he relaxed. "We're gonna end up falling asleep..." he murmured, breathing in a nice big breath to relax his heartbeat which had been racing moments ago.

Hangeng shut his eyes tightly, trying not to focus on the friction but on the kiss as he returned it. He didn't need to make this more complicated than it already was; they were in a sense friends with benefits though they didn't nor did he think they would take it all the way. Hangeng wasn't sure what they were; they were just there for each other. He pulled back when he needed air and forced himself to relax.

Onew didn't object when Hangeng pulled him on top of his body. It made it easier for Onew to connect their lips. He moaned softly and tangled both his hands into the elder's hair, unconsciously shifting his hips around as he did and causing friction between their bodies. It was nice... Not heart melting or fire work inducing, but pleasant, and he wasn't going to deny the kiss for anything in that instant.

Hangeng returned the kiss and the second kiss, though he kept himself from speaking. He stayed still before deciding that it would be best for the other to lay on top of him so he wouldn't rub his knee on something by accident. He gently pulled the other onto him, closing his eyes as he relaxed running his hand up and down Onew's back.

He on Hangeng's tongue softly, dragging his hand over Hangeng's chest and letting it rest on his tummy. "Thanks..." he murmured softly when he pulled back for air, pressing his lips back to his hyung's and moving them slowly. He sighed into the embrace, loving how it felt to reunite as such with someone again. He wanted to climb on top of him but his leg stopped him from doing so.

Hangeng, didn't have much of a choice in his opinion when the other told him to kiss him. It was an order of the boss and he felt the hand behind his head push him towards the ringmasters lips. Rather than retort he complied and pressed their lips together, eyes closed as he slipped his tongue inside the other exploring once more.

Onew to his side, not content with just a little peck. He was feeling quite needy, perhaps because he was injured or just lacking in any form of affection in these past months. "Hyung... Kiss me..." he murmured, pressing his lips to the bottom of his jaw and pushing his hand into the elder's hair.

He nodded his head, wrapping his arms around the ringmaster and brought him close as he relaxed. Hangeng thought of it as a miracle that the other had yet to be marred by scars by now; the ringmaster was so clumsy. He kissed Onew's head sighing, before he opened his eyes and stared out into space.

Onew waited patiently as Hangeng bandaged up his leg, trying to hold back his winces as he cleaned out the scrape. When he finished, placing a small kiss to his leg, the ringmaster reached forward and tugged Hangeng down onto the cot with him, burrowing his face into his chest. "Thank you," he murmured, breathing in the scent of his hyung.

Hangeng had went to gather a few of the medical materials before he heard the other cry for him. He walked over and settled besides him, slowly lifting the male's leg onto his lap and beginning to clean the blood and disinfecting it wound. He then wrapped a bandage around Onew's knee, giving it a small kiss as he patted his thigh. "Be careful alright."

Onew clung to Hangeng tighter as they entered the infirmary tent, not wanting to let go of this free ride though the pain in his leg called for more attention than his need to cuddle did. "I am dying," he retorted to Hangeng as he wiggled around to get himself off the elder's back. He moved slowly, hopping onto one leg and collapsing onto the closest cot to him. "Hyungggg~" Onew called out, grabbing at thin air whilst reaching out to Hangeng.

"Oh? So you're all the fun and bores of a drunk guy without the alcohol?" Onew asked, quirking an eyebrow at Jonghyun. Admittedly, holding a conversation made it easier to tolerate the pain though sting it still did. "And don't worry about any of that silly glue, magicians don't need anything but a top hat and their hands," he giggled, hoping he didn't come off as too strange. He really wanted to get out of the infirmary, however, and was getting restless sitting there having his minor wounds tended to. There had been some fun times in here, like when he'd filled the place with balloons or tried to bounce a pogo stick from one bed to the next, but at the moment, it was dull. He'd even exhausted his stash of cookies in the cupboard by the far wall so there was nothing left here for him to do, save maybe spray paint on the blank, white sheets. Nonetheless, it all led to one conclusion: he needed to go have fun. "You don't seem like one whose probably into this kind of stuff, but I need to go have some fun. Would you like to accompany me?" Onew asked, shrugging off the others hands, smiling to show his gratitude, but he couldn't keep it up any longer. He wouldn't be able to bandage himself without looking like a zombie so now that they were disinfected, he would just have to let them be.

"I'm sorry..."
He muttered again for what seemed like the hundredth time already. This time it was because Jonghyun knew completely from experience that cuts from shattered glass, while not major in the least, could sting and burn like hell fire. Another reminder of his failures, but Onew was clearly trying to lighten the mood, so he would respect the ringmaster's wishes.
"I think we all have our moments, really. For me, I'm impulsive, if that wasn't obvious enough. It tends to give me the word filter, or any kind of filter to be honest, of a drunk guy. You wouldn't believe the trouble I've gotten into. I hope your supply of super glue and shaving cream is hidden in a very safe, very idiot proof place?"
He chuckled quietly, the smile still on his face and a little less forced now. Just a little. Jonghyun didn't really do well with the happy type of people. But there seemed to be another side of Onew that just made him tolerable. Or maybe the ringmaster was just plain crazy. Either way, he could possibly learn to adapt and get used to this stuff.... although the cat and possibly cats would always make him feel really uneasy. That could and would be worked around, at least.

Onew was a bit surprised that the other boy had taken initiative so easily as usually he was used to being the leader figure who took care of everyone. However, he didn't have many objections and as the cuts were a bit bothersome and on his hands he figured it'd be best for someone else to take care of him. The bed was comfortable under his bottom, making at least part of his experience better. Though the cuts were shallow, JongHyun hadn't lied about it stinging. He felt like Satan was crawling through his skin and trying to eat all that was left in him. "Aish..." he muttered, gritting his teeth so he wouldn't wince and hinder the other boy with guilt. "You'd think that me being a clutz would make these things easier since I always get hurt," he laughed, hoping to loosen up the mood.

"Oh."
Was all he could answer, mildly disappointed about not being able to meet this Luhan character. But then, it wasn't like he even knew what the guy looked like, and Jonghyun wasn't the type to get attached to people or try to seek out their company just from a description. Definitely not. He was currently too occupied with subtly avoiding the kitten on the floor as well as watching his new.... comrade. Companion. Something like that. He would have tried to help Onew with what he was looking for, but sadly, his shorter than average height wouldn't be of much help when reaching stuff on the top shelf.
"No, I'm fine, thank you for asking. Please, let me handle that."
He said with a slightly forced smile, gently pushing the other to sit down on the bed and crouching in front of him, examining said person's hands. Fortunately, there wasn't any glass imbedded in the skin, so he took the supplies from Onew and dampened a cotton ball with the disinfectant.
"This... might sting a bit.... sorry..."
He muttered, dabbing at the small red streaks and wincing to himself. This couldn't happen again, ever. Jonghyun would make sure of it.

The ringmaster chuckled, shaking his bangs out of his face as he let Kira down so the kitten could go find something to entertain himself. He would only need a bit of disinfectant, some polysporin and band-aids to treat his tiny cuts which he could all find in the cupboards. "Don't worry; stuff like that doesn't happen any more. We've found a pretty good balance in our circus," Onew said, swinging open the largest cupboard doors and reaching on his tiptoes to the top shelf. "Don't bother looking for Luhan, though... He transferred to a different circus this morning to do a bit of work with the performers there as they were pretty sick," he added when he heard Jonghyun calling out for their nurse. "Do you need any medical treatment or is it just me?" he asked as he pulled the stuff out and headed to a bed, his smile never faltering.

Jonghyun was starting to find this rather interesting, and yet frightening. After all, it was hardly normal for anyone to be able to smile and mention a psychopathic killer who had been running around their home. Even less so considering that the knife thrower had practically confessed to being one of the more dangerous individuals. What kind of powers did this ringmaster possess, to be so confident? Or was it just pure childish innocence? The latter seemed far more likely based on Onew's mannerisms, but Jonghyun of all people knew that looks and appearances could be deceiving.
"That's.... wow. Um, sorry for bringing that up..." He mumbled, stepping inside of the tent and curiously looking around.
"I'll keep that in mind, though, about this Luhan guy. Sounds interesting.... Hello? Is anyone there?"
He called hesitantly, stepping forward for two reasons. One was to get a better look around, and the other was to get away from that cat Onew was holding that still freaked him out.

@Seohyun Baekhyun turned and went over to get an ice pack for the girls leg. She was new and got hurt, it made him feel bad. Maybe he should have told her to stop. "Here." He said as he came back over and placed the cooled pack on her hurt leg.

@Baekhyun Seohyun winced as a sharp pain shot up her leg, moving it was not a good idea. Why did she have to lose balance and fall of of that rope? "Thanks," she whispered, her voice strained with fake cheerfulness. Seohyun had never liked to act hurt or injured in front of others in fear they would worry, causing her to fell like a burden.

Baekhyun walked in with Seohyun hanging on his shoulders. He still couldn't believe she hurt herself, she was doing so well. "Alright we're here." He said and helped her over to the bed. "You should relax some."

"Hello? Is there anyone here? Pleaseee! I've got a gusher on my head!" Onew pouted, pressing the cloth more firmly on his head and grimacing when he felt the blood squish between his fingers. He had stupidly fallen when trying to renovate his room and had knocked over his book shelf which had momentarily knocked him into a loopy spiral. When he'd come to and the world had stopped spinning he realized he'd cut his head and come along to this place where he intended to get fixed up while meeting the new nurse simultaneously.
