It had been hours since the last she saw him, though she really wasnāt one to necessarily fret or worry if someone disappeared for hours to days. After all, she was often the one who vanished into thin air out of her own whims. Alas, this time was different⦠She was on the receiving end;

Not a word need be said- only silence rang through the house as she hurried along to grab whatever first aid kit they had lying around. Digits grabbed his hand as she dragged him to the living room and forced him to sit on their couch. She knelt before him and took out a handkerchief to first take off the excess blood. Lips curled to showcase a bittersweet smile towards her beloved, painfully painted across features. āā¦ā¦ā¦ Welcome back, Itachi.ā
Her expression ⦠he could read every exact emotion she had experienced upon seeing his condition.Ā Even her smile brought a pain into the heart of the male.Ā He really allowed himself to fall so easily, yet he also knew that he could win the battle despite his injuries.Ā He didnāt underestimate them, oh no.Ā He just did not know the potential of those chains.Ā At least he had one quick way to deal with them.Ā He was unfortunate to have had to wait too long to pull out such a card.
āā¦. Lacie.Ā Despite everything, the matter was settled.Ā This area is safe from the danger that was approaching.Ā I was⦠just foolish to hold back.Ā I knew better, yet I still waited until the last second.Ā The chains⦠are sealed awayā¦Forgive me for my careless behavior,ā he spoke out as she attempted to clean up his wounds.

Noticing she hadnāt cleaned his face properly, she decided to lean in and lick the small splatter of blood away from the corner of his lips. ā..... Nevertheless, I am happy to hear youāre alive at the very least. Harmed and injured, but I trust you to come back to me,ā Lacie spoke against his lips before pulling away to continue cleaning the half-dead male.
