ย ย ย ย ย (ย ย stop. shut up--. stop it . . .ย ย )ย โ shut the fuck up, bastard!ย โ she roared, bandage-wrapped fingers curling tightly, into a white-knuckled fist, fur-layered blankets clutched tightly betwixt scarred fingertips. kainรฉโs disheveled, cold gaze ventured about the camp , from the crackling, flickering flame that lit her surroundings , to the still-sitting, bemused visage of her travelling companion. embarrassing, sheโd muse, lithe fingers carding through her long, ivory locks, then across sweat-slicked forehead. she felt disgusting. annoyed. a myriad of negative emotions swirled within her gut. it was almost nauseating.ย โ how long was i out, manah?ย โ sheโd inquire, silently -- voice raspy, laboured. exhausted. the passing few days hadnโt been kind to them. the track from cassardis to gran soren was troublesome, especially in the colder seasons. goblins , chimera , griffins . . . theyโd dealt with them all, en masse. as a result of such, theyโd accumulated a sizable sum of gold ; and battle-wounds to match.ย
ย ย ย ย ย โ you shouldโve woken me up, damnit.ย โ sheโd start, jostling her hair in frustration. it wasnโt that she was blaming her for her reoccurring nightmares ; far from it, in fact. theyโd long ago come to an agreement that they wouldnโt mention them. they wouldnโt even acknowledge them. it made dealing with them far easier. but it had been her turn to take watch, and for manah to rest. even if sheโd suffered the brunt of the injuries the two of them shared, theyโd already been running thin on time to rest, as it were. she had to be fucking exhausted.ย โ tch . . . whatever. any sign of the big, red fucker?ย โ sheโd inquire, brow knitting in annoyance. grigori. the former bandit chief had plenty a score to settle with that son of a bitch ; and she wouldnโt allow her body nor mind true rest until sheโd exacted every single shred of revenge that burned inside of her.
ย ย ย ย ย kainรฉ gathered jagged dual blades into her hands, regardless, pushing herself to stand before pacing their surroundings, eyes alert now that theyโd been cleared of their previous grogginess. she was irritated, now -- beyond such, maybe. the situation sucked. the weather sucked. her injuries sucked. everything was just pissing her the fuck off, and she hadnโt even been awake for a solid five-minutes.ย โ rest up. once the sun starts rising, iโll wake you.ย โ tongue drew across soft, stained lips ; bandaged knuckles hoisting one of her blades over a pale shoulder.ย โ once we get to the capital, maybe we can take a few days off---.ย โ sheโd offer, murmuring toward the tail end of her proposal. they didnโt really have time for such things, but even being arisen -- they were in need of breaks, as well.
