In a move even he knew was uncharacteristic, Peregrine had taken the time of everyone boarding the boats to keep to himself. Rather than wanting some privacy or quiet time, it was more self preservation - that Glass girl had quite hurt him, and now they were even more closely kept together, he doubted it would take much for him to rile someone else (or her again) up enough. And if that happened then, well, it simply couldn't happen. Once Albanes and Madeline boarded the boats, his eyes were drawn to them. Peregrine grinned to himself before sauntering over, his grin simmering to a smug smile. "Now which one of you was the little self appointed nurse?" He said, knowing full well it was Albanes. It just was more entertaining this way. @innsjo (glass🎸+ darcy🖋+ npcs❄) @Mads|Roque🩸+Hannah🦈+Madeline

Maddy gave him a slight look- clearly no one had ever confused her and Albanes before. She pointed over to her partner with her one hand. "Albanes is the healer here. I'm just tagging along." Madeline said. @soul | peregrine 🎭 + ekmeros 🎻 @innsjo (glass🎸+ darcy🖋+ npcs❄)

"And I'm not a nurse, I'm a dedicant. The Head dedicant." Albanes corrected, though she didn't appear as if her pride was wounded. Instead, she glanced over Peregrine. "Is it just the bruise on your jaw that you need healed?" @Mads|Roque🩸+Hannah🦈+Madeline @soul | peregrine 🎭 + ekmeros 🎻

"Mm hm, yes of course, dear, what a very important job you have." Peregrine chuckled, completely blanking Madeline now that he had his answer. "Yes, my poor bruised jaw. Luckily my pride and ego quite easily survived," he snickered as he leant down over them. "The sorts of people you're inviting to this island, so violent, so cruel." @Mads|Roque🩸+Hannah🦈+Madeline @innsjo (glass🎸+ darcy🖋+ npcs❄)

'This guy is.. Whiny..' She wasn't all that surprised to see him ignore her- that was pretty par for the course by now. Best to let Albanes do the talking. @soul | peregrine 🎭 + ekmeros 🎻 @innsjo (glass🎸+ darcy🖋+ npcs❄)

Albanes ignored about ninety percent of what Peregrine was saying, and tenatively approached him. "Well, if that's the only injury, this should be quick. May I touch your face? I... kind of need to, in order to heal your injury." @Mads|Roque🩸+Hannah🦈+Madeline @soul | peregrine 🎭 + ekmeros 🎻

Peregrine chuckled at her question. "My, my, nurse Albanes, you're so forward." He chuckled, stepping closer to her as well and leaning down. Not so she could touch his face easier, just to mock her height. "But I suppose you may, dear." @Mads|Roque🩸+Hannah🦈+Madeline @innsjo (glass🎸+ darcy🖋+ npcs❄)

"..." Madeline glanced between the two of them. She had things she wanted to say, and faces she wanted to make at this weirdo, but she managed to keep it all under control. Until he would say something outright threatening or gross, she would stay silent. @innsjo (glass🎸+ darcy🖋+ npcs❄) @soul | peregrine 🎭 + ekmeros 🎻

Albanes didn't respond- not wanting to provoke Peregrine into saying anything that made her more uncomfortable, and simply put one cold hand over his jaw, where he'd been injured. As soon as their skin made contact, Albanes's veins in her hands in her face lit up a brilliant, shining gold. Peregrine's jaw would go numb with warmth, then instantly begin to feel better. Only seconds passed, and Albanes moved her hand back. "There you go, that should fix you up." @soul | peregrine 🎭 + ekmeros 🎻 @Mads|Roque🩸+Hannah🦈+Madeline Peregrine is restored +7 hp

Once the glow subsided and his jaw felt much better, Peregrine chuckled, straightening up as Albanes retracted her hand. "I see you were top of your class, darling." He tentatively rubbed the side of his face where it had hurt and raised his eyebrows, mildly impressed. "You're certainly teacher's pet, aren't you, head nurse?" Now his gaze flickered over to Madeline. "Tagging along to learn a thing or two, then? You must be the class clown, you certainly look like the part, sweetheart." He smiled very unpolitely at her. Albanes wasn't fun to make fun of alone, he decided. @Mads|Roque🩸+Hannah🦈+Madeline @innsjo (glass🎸+ darcy🖋+ npcs❄)

"I am simply tagging along to protect her. From menaces." The 'like you' part wasn't said, but it was implied as her expression showed a twinge of annoyance. "If you want to offend me, you will have to be more creative." @soul | peregrine 🎭 + ekmeros 🎻 @innsjo (glass🎸+ darcy🖋+ npcs❄)

"I'd appreciate it if you didn't speak to my friend like that." Albanes added, her voice still. She ignored Peregrine's attempts to rattle her. "Is there anything else I can help you with?" @Mads|Roque🩸+Hannah🦈+Madeline @soul | peregrine 🎭 + ekmeros 🎻

"Why ever would I wish to offend you when you've opened your quaint little home to us?" Peregrine continued to smile. "And no, thank you very much for your service, darling." He blew Albanes a kiss with a satisfied chuckle as he began to turn on his heel. "Perhaps one day you'll make an adequate doctor." @Mads|Roque🩸+Hannah🦈+Madeline @innsjo (glass🎸+ darcy🖋+ npcs❄)

"Harrassing Albanes like this will not give you a great reputation once we arrive. Some people may not be as patient as me." Madeline said with a slight edge, and stepped in front of Albanes. "I would watch what you say. And do." @soul | peregrine 🎭 + ekmeros 🎻 @innsjo (glass🎸+ darcy🖋+ npcs❄)

Albanes took in a deep breath, and steadied herself. She shot Madeline a thankful glance as she stepped in to defend her. "If you don't need anything else, we should be on our way." @Mads|Roque🩸+Hannah🦈+Madeline @soul | peregrine 🎭 + ekmeros 🎻

Peregrine paused, turning back to Madeline and Albanes with a soft chuckle. "Yes, dear, I can see how patient you are." Peregrine turned back around and leant down. "I always watch what I say. And do." He winked. "How wonderful to meet you two. I'll make sure to drop in whenever my handsome face gets hurt." With a final chuckle, Peregrine turned and started to walk away. Bye. Rude. Nothing unusual for him though. @Mads|Roque🩸+Hannah🦈+Madeline @innsjo (glass🎸+ darcy🖋+ npcs❄)

Madeline waited for him to take a few steps away. ".. Seems like we're not doing great on our normal person to weirdo ratio.." Madeline said quietly. ".. he wasn't as threatening as Roque, at least." @soul | peregrine 🎭 + ekmeros 🎻 @innsjo (glass🎸+ darcy🖋+ npcs❄)

"Yeah..." Albanes frowned as she watched Peregrine leave. "He definitely wasn't as violent... but I don't think I prefer having him around." @Mads|Roque🩸+Hannah🦈+Madeline
