"Splint's fine I guess," he said slowly, biting his tongue to keep from making noises as the doctor pushed and prodded the fracture. He had to stop biting his tongue before he bit through it, and when the pressure released, he felt blood well up from where he had bitten it. He swallowed it down. "I'll try not to shift it anymore."

Patrick nodded, and got his bag. Pulling out his supplies he took a hold of Kieran's arm again and begun to make the splint. "And would you like anything for the pain? Adrian doesn't seem like he needs it right now."
Adrian frowned in his sleep when he was moved and placed down on his brother's lap. He clung to Kieran's legs, continuing to sleep.

"Yes," he replied, not knowing how much more of the burning pain he could put up with. It hurt even worse as Patrick straightened the bones and wrapped them up, but there was slight relief as the shattered parts stopped sticking into his flesh. He rested his other hand on Adrian's head, lightly petting his hair.

Once the werehorse was done putting a splint on Kieran's arm and put it in a sling across his chest, he returned to his bag. Pulling out a syringe and the vial of morphine, he lightly took a hold of Kieran's free arm, injecting the pain killer into him before placing the weredragon's hand back onto his younger brother's head. Leaning back and packing up his bag, he stood frowning down at the pair slightly. "There's nothing else I could do for either of you now....I guess I should leave before the guards come and see me standing here not doing anything."
Lorcan lifted his head up off the ground, looking at the chattering Weres with narrowed eyes. Standing up, he stood and stared at them. Too bad they had managed to take the other Were away from him. He would have finished eating him, even if he had died from the blood loss first.

The feeling of eyes on him stole Kieran's attention from the doctor to his other... oh god, did he dare even acknowledge that thing as his brother? He knew that somewhere buried in that thing, there was Lorcan in there. Maybe. Still. He doubted that Lorcan would even care to remember.
Where had he been this whole time that would possess him to do such things? Never mind if they are brothers, why would he do that to any person or creature.
He looked back up at Patrick, giving the werehorse a nod. "For whatever it's worth, I am grateful for what you've done." He really did mean it. What would the alternative be? Watching Lorcan make a meal out of Adrian from what he hadn't already.

Lorcan stared at the older weredragon, tilting his head to the side. His gaze was cold and calculating. The older one didn't look to be as easy prey as the younger one. Even with his missing eye and broken wrist, Ice doubted he would be able to take him down on his own. That made him weak, didn't it? Thinking he wouldn't be able to take down the were.
Patrick smiled slightly. "I wish there could have been more I could have done for the both of you." He picked up his bag, frowning as he glanced over his shoulder. "I have to stay on certain people's good sides if I would like to be able to come see you both again." The werehorse didn't go into detail about who's good side he had to stay on, but it wouldn't have been that hard to figure out. Going to leave, he turned around and bowed slightly to the weredragons before exiting their cell. A guard came shortly afterwards and locked the cell.
Adrian stirred in his sleep. Blinking, he saw the guard was leaving. Raising his head slowly, he froze when he saw Lorcan was staring at them. "We can't stay down here...." He looked away from the one brother that wanted him dead and to the brother that wanted him to live. "What are we going to do Kieran? Is there any way for us to get out?" His gaze searched his older brother's desperately.

"These cells were built to keep dragons in, and we are in human forms as it is," he said quietly. But there was the chance small things could go where large ones could not. Why hadn't he thought of that sooner? Was it curiosity holding him back from an escape or something else? Fear perhaps? He had never known fear before, and he doubted it was that foreign emotion that plagued him now, but something was there, clawing and eating away at him. He grimaced at the thought of being immobilized by his feelings. The only way to keep his brother safe was to attain their freedom. But what of Alice? She wasn't safe. Could she be harmed if they attempted escape?

Adrian tried to keep himself calm, tried not to let his fear overwhelm him. "So....we're stuck in here? There's no way for us to get out?" His voice shook. He couldn't help being scared. Kieran was sentenced to death. He was going to lose his brother if they didn't get out, and then there really wouldn't be any reason for him to stick around. Without his older brother he wasn't going to get through any of this. With some effort he pushed himself up into a sitting position, leaning against Kieran. "There has to be a way to get out....it can't end like this," he spoke quietly, staring across the cell and at the brother that was staring back.

"Shh," he said softly, trying to calm Adrian down, and also not talk too loudly else the guards hear them. "We'll think of something. I won't let you die here. Not today, or ever. You'll die old and happy in another seventy years. How's that sound?" Better than this, he thought his own answer. He looked around slowly, trying to gauge their surroundings, but the prison left no obvious signs that it could be broken through.

Adrian pulled his gaze away from his twin brother, shuddering when he saw Lorcan lick his lips. He refused to believe that he tasted that good. He gripped Kieran's arm, glancing out of the cell and out to the rest of the dungeon. "That sounds great. As long as you're still with me in another seventy years." He honestly didn't like thinking this far into the future. Right now he didn't know what the next few hours would bring, or the next few days or weeks if he managed to get that far. Thinking about years seemed like a promise he couldn't really keep.

"Why don't you go back to sleep," he said softly, leaning back against the wall. "We both could use some rest. No sense trying to plan anything in such states." He looked down at the ground with hazy vision, grateful that the pain was beginning to fade as the morphine kicked in.

"I can't go back to sleep," Adrain frowned, still hanging onto Kieran's arm. He was tired, and really wished he could fall back asleep. The hair on the back of his neck stood on end, and he didn't have to look back towards his other brother to know he was being stared at still. 'How can I go to sleep when he's still looking at me like that?"

He looked over at Lorcan. The other boy's eyes were rather unsettling, making his own hair want to stand on end. He glanced back at Adrian. "I won't be sleeping for a while. I'll keep... an eye on him." It's all I've got, really. He shot a death glare Lorcan's way. It pained him to. He knew it wasn't Adrian, but it looked so like him it was almost scary.

Adrian still wasn't sure if he was going to be able to sleep or not. Kieran saying he'd keep an eye on Lorcan did calm him a little though. He closed his eyes, and tried to sleep. When he heard the growl coming from the other cell his eyes snapped open. "Is he trying to keep me from falling asleep?" Was it possible that this was what the other were was trying to do? For what?

He was also startled by the glare. "Maybe," he said, tightening his grip on Adrian's shirt. It was more of a gesture of anger, like clenching his fists or snarling, but he did not want to show anger. Lorcan seemed rather pleased in causing them discomfort.
Addressing the other now, he called out, "Do you know who you are?"
