Gin sucked in air between her teeth in pain. The bullet fell to the floor with a slight “clink”, making her shudder. Gin looked at Keldan, her eyes widening.

“All I’m wearing is this blanket, Keldan,” her voice was quiet, almost a whisper. His face reddened but the knight nodded.

“We still need to bind the wound so you don’t lose too much blood, Gin.”

She gulped and nodded. Keldan tugged her along gently, checking each door to see if it was unlocked. They came up on a locker room and shuffled inside. Keldan searched through each locker and found a soft t-shirt and a pair of floral leggings. He shoved the clothes towards Gin and turned around , letting her change. Gin was almost finished changing when she noticed there was no hole for her tail.

“Keldan, do you have a knife?”

“What for?”

“There’s no hole for my tail,” Gin said, her face burning. Keldan shook his head and passed back a knife quickly. Gin made a light slit in the back and pushed her tail through.

“Okay, I think we can bind it now.”

Keldan turned around, and, with a torn t-shirt in hand, bound my wound very tightly. So tightly that tears ran down my cheeks, getting caught in my short fur. Keldan looked up and brushed the tears away from Gin’s face lightly. His fingers hovered over her face, his deep eyes staring into hers.

“Where are you from?” Keldan asked softly, a lull in the high danger that we had experienced letting us breath. He touched my ear, tickling the top.

“Northern Texas forest,” Gin said lightly. Keldan nodded, but a crash interrupted their small, baby conversation.
