Keon looks up as Traeger hands him the jar. Two bags of powder suddenly appear on the table next to him. The Rider pushes back her hood, pointing to the bags.
"That is von our Bruder. Irish pottery. That von Herr Bloodstone. Cemetery clay." She nods at Ike, "He vorries. I tell him, Valkyrie will heal." She looks at Guunnar. "Make it so, or you be unmanned."
With that she turns on her heel and stalks over to Ramji. They drop into a discussion of which ghouls to call for clean up.
Keon shakes his head. "Guunnar, she will do it, you know that. A Valkyrie, even a fallen one, keeps her word." He looks down at Ike and checks the wound. "This is deep..."
"Pandora. Ike is going to start changing to stone very soon. I can already feel the weight in her changing. This is what we need. The majority of the clay needs to be the Irish Pottery and the Cemetery Clay. Add the Welsh Soil as well. That is her homeland, so it can only strengthen the mix. The clay needs to be thin, so it seeps into the tears in her muscles. As she turns, the clay will be pulled in. We need to keep filling it as she goes under." he pauses for a moment. "Do either of you know a spell to strengthen stone?"
He enlists Ob and Tori to help move her to her favorite place. They help her sit on the edge of stage. Keon kneels in front of her. "Hold on lass. Stay with us just a bit."
Guunnar pulls her wing back and Ike screams, reaching out for Monty with her good hand.. Monty is up and going for the Viking. A Rider holds Monty back, talking to him urgently. Monty nods muttering something about not liking it.
Guunnar grunts holding the wing back, keeping the wound from sealing itself shut.
"Valkyrie... I know dis hurts, but ve keep the would open, so it doesn't scar shut. Stay with us beautiful one. The Spanish one, you vant he will come to sit with you as soon as ve haf enough clay to help you, ja?"
Ike nods, tears welling as she grits her teeth. Keon watches the clock, slowly pulling out the cloth packing from the wound.
