It was his turn in the guard shack. Seemed that pledges were trained in security and so here he was. Reading a book and eyeing the monitors every once in a while. Truly it had been a very slow and boring night. So boring that if the sound of the motorcycle's exhaust hadn't happened at that particular moment, he might have fallen asleep.

But the sound does permeate his hearing and he sits up. "Crap." he mutters, knowing that he could get in trouble if he had fallen asleep. Getting up from the chair he was planted in, he stretches, hands over his head.

With a yawn, he walks to the door of the guard shack and peers out just in time to watch the helmet come off and dark hair come tumbling down. A double blink and a raise of his brow, but he remains silent. Grabbing the notebook from the counter, along with a pen, he steps out of the shack.

He has to cover his mouth to stifle the laugh. She was talking to herself? Finally clearing his throat he cants his head slightly and speaks. "You could just say who you are?" with a laugh. "And you're in front of the fraternty compound."

He watches with a mild amusement in his eyes, but attempts to keep a straight face so as to not make her feel any more embarassed and uncomfortable than she already was. "Actually you'd be surprised at how many people ask that." he shakes his head.

"A.J. you are in Rhydin, a city within itself and that's all I really know about it myself. I've only been here a short while." he shrugs and walks towards her and the bike slowly. He was assessing the situation and it seemed she posed no imminent danger to himself.

As he approaches her, he shifts the notebook from right hand to left and extends his hand. "I'm Tyler, Tyler Redfield and it's nice to make your acquaintance." he smiles. "If the brothers can be of any assistance, please don't hesitate to ask."

As she stepped forward and into the lamplight, he shook her hand and then released it. A frown creases his brow at the wound to her neck and he cranes his own neck to get a good look.

A low whistle and he steps to the side and puts his arm out in the direction of the shack. "Let me see what I've got in there, as far as first aid stuff. Maybe I can get a healer out here." He looks between A.J. and the guard shack.

"Come on inside. You'll be safe in here." he smiles.

He listens to her, eyes never leaving the wound on her neck. He was assessing the damage with a trained eye. "I'm not worried about a scar so much as infection." he nods slowly and continues to step to the side.

But then he walks into the shack before her, as she had asked. He starts to rummage through counters to find the first aid kit. By the looks of that wound, there wasn't much he could do. But, he could at least clean and dress the wound if nothing else.

Looking back over his shoulder as he finds the kit, he waits for her to come into the shack. And when she does, he rises and holds up the bandages and some peroxide. "It's not much, but it'll do in a pinch."

"Have a seat." he motions to a stool near the counter. "Just how did you do this anyway?" as he slides on a pair of latex gloves.

"Infection should be a worry." he shakes his head and starts to dab the cotton bolls onto the top of the bottle of peroxide, then advances towards her with it. "Nothing worse than turning septic or gangrene." Then he gently swipes at the wound on her neck. Indeed, it was not a fresh wound and already had started to heal. But as the peroxide goes to her neck, it starts to bubble.

"Alcohol is good, but it doesn't get oxygen into the wound and flush out the bacteria and other germies that are in there." he contentrates on what he's doing. Tossing the bolls into the trash, he lifts a few more and dabs them on the top of the peroxide and continues cleaning the wound. "Man, whatever you did to that tree, it surely didn't like it." he laughs.

"Yeah, well that's how most people get into Rhy'din. They just suddenly wake up here, not knowing where they are or how they got here. And it's funny that most decide to stay put." he shrugs then tosses the bolls into the trash. "Let me get a bandage on that and you'll be good to go."

He goes back to the first aid kit and lifts out some gauze and tape. He removes the rubber gloves and replaces them with new ones before walking back over to her. "So, you staying somewhere?"

"Ah, yes, gangrene is very nasty." he nods, continuing to work on her neck and shoulder. He listens to her talk as he applies the dressing. It wasn't pretty but it was sterile and it would keep out any further infection while the wound healed.

Once he was done, he leans back against the counter and removes the rubber gloves. He nods, listening to her speak. He smiles back and shrugs. "Maybe a tree limb caught up under your helmet?" he shrugs as well, it was just a suggestion and seemed logical enough.

He nods once more, then picks up the phone. "Let me talk to Jay, there's a house just for the ladies of the guys that live here. Maybe you could crash there for the night and then tomorrow head on out." he looks down once Jay answers and he tells him the situation. He hesitates and nods. "Thanks Jay. I'm sure she'll appreciate it. Have a good night." Then he hangs up the phone.

"Just sign in and I'll give you direction to the girl's house." He looks up at her once more and picks up a clipboard with a pen attached to it. "And you might want to try looking in the market place for a job. O'Dell's Deli is always hiring and there's even small apartments above the shop." He grabs one of the Pi Omega Pi business cards from a holder and he flips it over. Writing a name down, he holds the card out to her. "Take this to Sadie when you get to the deli. I'm sure she can use another set of hands." he smiles as he holds out that card.

Once she's taken the business card, he steps back and towards the entrance to the shack. Button pushed and the gates to the compound start to chug open. "Alright then, just go through the gates and stick to the main road. The house is about two miles down, on the right."

He gives her a lopsided grin. "You'll know it, Evi had it painted powder blue. She'll be there, but she's use to people coming and going so it realy shouldn't be a big deal."

Stepping outside of the shack, he gives another smile. "Enjoy your stay."
