"Oh, ****. Oh man, are you ok?" Zoro said as he closed the gap between himself and the faerie. His hands hovered slightly over the man's shoulder and hair, worrying that touching him would cause more damage as he didn't know how badly the man had been hurt. Zoro attempted to catalogue as many of the blond's injuries as he could, but Zoro is no doctor.
'I need to get him to chopper.' Zoro thinks as he looks at the 2 worse injuries: the crumpled wing and the trap that had pierced the faeries' thigh. Zoro moved down to get a closer look at the leg. The teeth of the trap had dug deeply into the flesh of thigh, to the point where zoro couldn't see the ridges from them anymore from what he could see of the flesh around the wound, though obscured by the faeries blood soaked pants, it was red and inflamed and looked to be burned in some places.
With some deliberation, Zoro decided the best idea was to remove the trap, then bring the guy back to the Royal doctor, Chopper. He looked toward the faeries face to make sure he was still unconscious. He knew this was going to hurt... a lot. and didn't want a scared fae casting some sort of weird spell on him... again. the last time that happened he had ended up with permanently green hair, and his sister's had been changed pink. He shuddered slightly at the memory.
He worked quickly, pressing the tab and carefully removing the painful looking trap. Flinging it to the side once it was completely off of the blond. He checked the blonde's state of consciousness one more time before gingerly tucking his arms under the faeries' legs and shoulders, careful to avoid his pale wings. The blond was a lot lighter than he would have thought, but then again.. he was a faerie. He stood completely and looked around, deciding to walk toward the forest where he had originally entered the meadow. Once he reached the forest he let out a long loud whistle, to call Midnight to him.
While waiting for the ebony steed to arrive, Zoro examined the face of the man, since he had not had the chance to do so before. He had a couple minor scratches on the cheek that wasn't obscured by the blond fringe that covered the left side of his face. The rest of the blond's face made up a slender, slightly upturned nose, and a narrow, but masculine jaw that had a slight scruff on his chin.
"Heh, Curly." Zoro huffed, slightly amused, to himself as his eyes rested upon the curled eyebrows. He heard a whinny and turned around as his horse pranced up behind him, through the meadow, some of the green grass hanging guiltily from his muzzle.
"Haha, good boy." muttered Zoro affectionately at the horse. "Come on midnight, We need to get back to the palace, this guy needs some help." He quickly if not slightly awkwardly, due to the extra body in his arms. Eventually he had seated upon his horse, with the blond faerie lying face down across Zoro's legs, to avoid any more damage to the thin delicate looking wings on his back.
"Midnight, take us home." Said Zoro, trusting the horse to get them all back to the palace without his guidance. The King had spent extra time getting Midnight trained specifically for that, though Zoro had no idea why, his sense of direction was impeccable! It wasn't his fault the stuff tended to move around him.
After about 20 minutes of riding Zoro caught a glimpse of his knight through the trees.
"Oi, Brook!" Zoro called, quickly riding up to tall skeletal man.
"Oh! Prince Zoro, it is so good to see you well. you dissapeared and scared me to death...except I'm already dead." Brook finished with a laugh. Zoro groaned in frustration. He had gotten used to brook's "dead jokes" after hearing them for years, but that didn't make them any less exasperating. "Oh, who is that on your lap Zoro?" Asked brook suddenly breaking him out of his thoughts.
"I found him injured in the woods. he's really badly hurt, We need to gather the others and get him to a doctor as fast as possible." Answered Zoro quickly.
"Right! Give me a few minutes and they'll all be here~" said brook with a flair, he whipped a guitar out of who knows where, Zoro learned to stop questioning the skeleton years ago, after a piano mysteriously appeared in the middle of the woods during a trip through their lands.
Brook began strumming on the guitar and singing very loudly, so random song about him finding the missing prince. and in a matter of minutes, the other knights turned up, grinning widely at the amusing lyrics of the song, all the while Zoro scowled at the singing skeleton.
"Alright guys, let's go." Zoro ordered once the song finished and he counted up the correct number of knights gathered around. "We need to get this guy to chopper... fast."
"Alright, but this time, You're NOT leading. it will take all night if you do." Pipped in Ace.
"What are you talking about! I have a great sense of direction! It's not my fault everything moves all the time!" The knights all exchanged a look before laughing so hard, Franky nearly fell off his horse, and Luffy did.
"Haha, yeah yeah, sure Zoro, whatever you say." said ace, wiping away some stray tears. "How about we let Franky lead, Hmmm? Sound like a plan?"
"Fine." Bit out Zoro, frowning and glaring defiantly at the nearest tree. "Let's go."
Zoro spurred on his horse and began ride in back toward the castle.
"Hey Zoro...the castle is that way." Zoro blushed lightly and turned to begin riding in the direction of the pointing finger, mumbling angrily the whole way.
