25 got out of hiding when 43 said that and looked at 212. Then he ran over to her and crouched next to her, and he looked at her cape in particular. He picked up one end of it and wrapped it around his head, he didn't remove her cape, however. Then he looked to her head and pulled down her hood. When he saw her expression, he patted her on the back and gave her a gentle smile.

212 slowly uncovered her face when 25 grabbed her cape. She stared blankly at him for a moment as he kneeled beside her, then smiled meekly when he patted her on the back in a comforting gesture. Looking back to 43, she said, "That's a relief. Thank you for not trying to kill me," and hopped her to feet. The burlap doll picked up her pencil that she used as a walking stick and around the clearing nervously, as if expecting something to jump out at any given moment.
"W-well..." 212 stuttered, not sure what to say, fiddling with on of her blue velcro straps that ran across her chest. She looked at the car with a hint of fear in her eyes; was there no escaping from those giant metal monsters? They didn't attack, but they were intimidating enough to make her keep glancing at it, wondering if there were dead humans inside it like the other one.

25, Shortly after he thought she was reassured, He scurried to the wrecked car, and climbed up it. He began looking about on its hood, and out of a spontaneous feeling, he went and jumped up and down on top of the car. He quickly after starting, took heed to the fact 212 was unnerved at the car. However, whatever was going on in his mind, it certainly wasn't what she thought of the cars.
He rushed over to her and began tugging on her arm, pulling her to the large car.

43 watched 25 with just the barest hint of a smile. It'd be a while since he'd seen others of his kind, and the scene was almost cute... and why was 25 jumping on the hood!
"H-hey! Don't do that! You might damage the hood... or something might hear..." He looked around him as he said this, half expecting to see machines crawling out of the walls. Then he walked towards the car, looking up at it with a frown, then back towards the others.

212 stumbled and sputtered as 25 pulled her arm towards the car. At first she thought it might be okay, but when 43 spoke about something hearing them, she became weary again. "W-what kinds of 'things' would hear, do you s'pose?"
By now, she had forgotten all about where she was supposed to be going, and even about her friend 59 who had told her where to go (North, to the Cathedral). Forgotten about 97, the fight the 3 of them had had on the Carousel at the Park, and the injuries they had all gotten.
After catching her foot on a small rock, 212's leg suddenly hurt quite a lot, a shiver of pain running through her entire body. She gasped and motioned to 25 that she was in pain, sitting down and grabbing at the leg, looking it over. A few seconds of observation and she found it-- a tear, rather large, running up the outside of her left leg. How on earth did that happen? she thought. The burlap wasn't too frayed or falling apart where the rip was, so it can't have been too long ago. Can't remember...

25 noticed her motion to stop, and when he saw the tear, he went over next to her leg. He looked closely at the wound, then his face brightened. He opened his chest, and pulled out a needle and thread.
Then he began to sew up her leg, or rather, tried to sew up her leg. He had no experience sewing up wounds, so all that happened was that he tore the wound even more. Upon that happening, he had a fearful expression on his face and covered his face, as though he expected her to get mad at him.

212 let out a small "oh!" when 25 tried to help her. The wound just became more painful, but the action of the little doll helping her warmed her heart; she had not seen many things that did that, so this made her smile even though she was uncomfortable.
When 25 looked scared that she would get mad, 212 just smiled again and patted him on the head. "It's ok, I don't think I'm very good at sewing either." After all, who could get mad at a face like that?

He opened his face a little, and looked at her, then gave a wide smile, then hugged her, likely for her kindness. He began to run to the car and search about the interior. Shortly after, he came out with a small black box and went into the middle of the group of dolls, then set it down next to 212. He opened it, showing it had a ring in it.
He picked up the ring, and threw it behind him and began trying to pull out the cushion it was in. When it was out, he pulled several oddly shaped pebbles out of his chest and put them in his little treasure chest. He looked at 212 again, then he pulled out a talismin and looked at it curiously.

The wound made 43 wince, and 25's efforts just made it worse. "How did you get that... nevermind." He gave the car one last glance, as if it might vanish if he left it alone, and then went over to 212.
"I'm no mender, but... I might be able to patch that up long enough for you to find someone to fix it. Maybe the Saviors'll help you."
He went to his bad and pulled out a tattered piece of oily fabric, and then began to pick through the surrounding rubble for something. "Er... that's only if you're okay with that, of course."

212 nodded, saying, "Sure, sure, of course. Anything is better than this." She had zero experience with sewing and healing in general, so she was quite content to let someone else do it for her. She just hoped it wouldn't hurt too much when 43 sewed the patch on. A slightly mentally unhinged doll in pain might not be safe for those around her, and she didn't wish to cause harm to these kind dolls.
While the 43 rummaged around for something, 212 noticed that 25 was holding something strange. "What's that?" she asked, pointing to the round object. It had strange symbols on it. Something about it bothered 212; she tapped her fingers together nervously, staring at it warily but curiously.

Eventually, 43 seemed to find what he was looking for, pulling a broken metal pole from the ground. He tested its weight with a hand, and walked over to hold it by 212's leg.
"Ah... I'm not too hopeful it'll be that much better. Murphy's law."
He took the old cloth and began to wrap it around the injured leg. Halfway through he put the pole on, and then continued wrapping until he'd made something of a cast.
"It won't hold long, and if you need to run it'll get in the way... but it'll keep it from ripping or anything from breaking until we can find you someone better..."
He paused, glancing at the odd object 25 held. It didn't seem too strange, but there was something about it that made him shiver. It seemed like it was dangerous... not something a small ragdoll should be playing with.
'U-uh. What's that?"

25 looked at them both and shrugged, obviously not knowing what it was. He continued looking at it, his metal fingers tapping the metal on it, making a clanking sound with each tap.
Meanwhile, something lurked in the shadows, watching the group.
25 tapped a little too hard on one of the symbols, and it lit up, which got him curious about it, then he pressed another one and it lit up. He was about to press the last one until, "STOP! DON'T PRESS THAT!" He looked up and around, but he didn't see anything.

212 murmured her thanks, grateful that it didn't hurt at all. She struggled to stand but eventually was on her feet, only to jump as if she had stuck her finger into an electrical socket when a voice yelled "Stop, don't press that!"
Reaching to grab her pencil, she used it to help her stand again, butt aching. "W-w-who said that?" she said shakily. No one but the three of them were here, and none of them had spoken. In fact, they all appeared to be looking around for the source of the noise.
212 leaned on her pencil, glancing nervously at the debris piles around them: anyone could be hiding behind one of them, even a machine.

43 jerked as well, nearly messing up the wrapping he'd done on 212's leg. At first, he looked around as if he was trying to spot something specific... but as time passed his movements became more frantic, and began to grope through his sack. He pulled out the flanged metal pole, his fingers clicking on the metal shaft as his other hand fiddled with the snaps on his chest.
"D...don't start anything! I'm armed!" 43's voice was shaking despite the brave front he was trying to put on, his grip almost nonexistent on his makeshift club.

When 212 asked that, there was no answer, whoever she was, she didn't want to be found. 25 looked around, a little scared, he dropped the talismin he had and went to 212, still looking around. He held on to her arm when he got beside her, his eyes wide with fear. The light of the symbols dimmed. He looked around with still nothing in sight, then he began staring behind her, then turned from holding on to her arm, to just her, completely, with his lenses narrowed to a very tiny extent.
