Having been ready for bed, just relaxing while reading a book and drinking a cup of tea, Flora was not expecting a knock at her door. But it wasn't any normal knock - the knock was very soft and weak. Had it not been for the fact her apartment was quiet, she would not have heard it at all.
Standing up, she heads over to the door, and makes sure it is locked before peeking out the peep hole. Not really seeing anything except what looks like a body leaning against her door, haphazardly from what she can tell. Now she was confused. Why was this person leaning against her door like that? Were they hurt? Then she hears some more quiet knocks so Flora decides it would probably be best to check on them, at least.
Unlocking the door, she gently pulls it open to see Kai standing on her door step, beaten up so badly she could barely recognize him with all the blood, bruises, and injuries on his face and body. Just as soon as she is about to reach over to grab him or say something to him, he starts to fall into her, and she feels his body become dead weight as she just barely manages to hold him up while using the door frame for support.
Feeling her breath hitch in her throat, she hears his quiet sorry, and she feels tears form in the tear ducts of her eyes because of his horrible state. Taking a deep breath, she moves them so that they are at least in the apartment, and let's the door shut beside them.
"Kai.. what happened?" She talks to him in a quiet but alarmed voice, trying her best to support him, and bring him comfort - not even caring about the blood that has gotten on her clothes or skin. They'll have to move soon, but she'll need his help for that, so she can get him all cleaned up and rested.
