It is a new day, TOIRE carefully check the surroundings before leaving.
While she helps you keep things in your backpack.
Upon being known out of danger, TOIRE returns to her.
Both, they enter the forest, until now they have avoided the main roads and move away from the people, there is very little they have stopped to rest, in the RIVER TOIRE could fish but, not to note their presence there, they ate it raw, it was a little unpleasant to swallow, although the two know that it was better than nothing In addition, it kept its nutrients intact.
In the afternoon, they walk near a fence, over time, TOIRE notices that she starts to fall behind a little.
It is not very noticeable but, TOIRE decides to stop, she clarifies that she can continue, although they both know that it is not, the wound of her, still bleeds and continues to stain her bandages, must find a more discreet place to rest, the young woman insists that, not necessary, TOIRE reminds her that reviewing her wound, besides, although it is not so hot, they have been walking for hours and that it is not for discussion.
He is the one who takes the reins of her care, this takes unprepared to the young woman who blushes a little of shame and discomfort, somehow likes him to take care of her, also uncomfortable feeling somehow accepted, when she was always raised in a regime away from sentimental ties like compassion.
She doesn't like me giving him orders, but she thinks she's not in a position to complain either if she knows he's right.
They're looking through the trees.
She stops a little and sees around her, not far from there, recognizes a huge string of intertwined dried herbs that looks like a tree, as she approaches there is hardly a small entrance that from outside is not easily distinguished.
They're coming to explore.
She tells TOIRE that it is a good place to sleep, he is missed, never before saw such a whim in the vegetation.
He's a strange meddling, as if he were guided.
Although the entrance is narrow and she has difficulty getting in, they do, the interior is much wider.
Inside the ground the grass is absent, he sees with amazement, the floor of that small wooden cave is infertile, totally burnt.
The girl looks at him, tells him that there is a sad reason why the earth lost its fertility, she says that no doubt someone died right there.
TOIRE carried by his curiosity, asks: how do you know?
The young woman keeps a brief silence, looks him in the eye, earnestly and some melancholy, tells him that that string is the rest of an attack, the grave of someone who sacrificed himself, does not believe that they searched there.
Some believe it to be cursed ground, for centuries the souls of those who sacrifice still roam some of them.
TOIRE looks to the sides of the roof of the cave, as if looking for something.
The young lady tells her not to worry, maybe it's just myths.
Many of these souls are purified when they accept the fact that they do not belong to this world and very few of them take time to realize.
TOIRE embossing a smile, tells him that he already knew, which she doesn't believe him.
TOIRE covers the entrance of the gap with branches.
He stretches a little and pulls his backpack, warns him it's time for him to check that wound.
She sits on her knees and begins to take off her shirt, when she struggles with her arm on the wounded side, he gives her help so that when she removes her shirt, her faces get a little close.
The two blush a little as she felt too close at that moment, after a small pause, she turns her face.
She reacts and begins to unbutton the buttons of her dress without seeing her again, TOIRE feels very nervous, turns her eyes to her backpack, feels her hands shaking a little, she is afraid that she will notice, he must touch her to heal her, and if she feels her hands tremble, maybe she thinks badly of him.
She swells up in front of her, she keeps her gaze fixed under his face, feels strange and doesn't understand it, feels too comfortable with him, doesn't mind him seeing his naked body because when he heals he doesn't feel that he has bad intentions, although there are times when he also feels a little embarrassed , this is what you don't understand.
As long as he rips another little of her coat to make bandages, TOIRE says she doesn't even know her name, it makes her uncomfortable not knowing, is she so ugly? he doesn't think it's worse than his.
This catches the girl's attention.
She starts to take off the bandage she wears, feeling looser, the pangs come, it hurts, even if she doesn't complain, she gets a little off and gets a little red.
TOIRE asks you to keep holding the rag that covers the wound, pull the bottle, bandages and water, now he will take over, notice that the rag of the wound has stuck, so it moistens it to remove it gradually with little water, done this, comes the hardest thing, the grass that covers the wound must change it , he moistens it too.
The rubbing with the cold water causes the wound to puncture her and that hurts, the young woman endures by hiding her face from him, without being able to avoid a rictus of pain.
When she releases the dried grass that I use hurts the girl more but does not scream, emits some drowned whining, does not want to make noise, feels a lot of pain, turns red and takes a breath when it hurts a little less, when she has finished removing the grass, she asks for a moment of rest, the first note that no longer bleeds so much , so by doing a compression on the wound that he holds, he says yes, they'll wait a few minutes.
She reluctantly lets her body rest on the young man's lap.
With a voice thread, she says her name is KEKI, TOIRE really likes her name, for some reason when he pronounced it to her she was very pleased, although, he did not prove it, he finds that that tough girl must be very sweet inside in other circumstances, but he does not say so.
And he also comments that he thinks that, his name is not pretty, which seems to have occurred to them when they went to the bathroom.
After a few minutes, you feel a light breeze, you should cover the wound.
KEKI separates from the boy and settles so that he can reposition the herbs he has crushed with that medicine in his jar. He untastes the herbs and sells it.
TOIRE notices that she is very exhausted.
It was very painful and more, after walking so many hours.
He says they should rest as they won't be able to stop again, their house is no longer far away, but there's no way.
She takes the floor.
It recharges at one of the roots so as not to get hurt.
TOIRE tells her that, he's going to hunt in that region because there are better prey, coming home they're going to pick up some things they need, she's going to heal and they're also going to get to KAZIEL her horse, she's not young but, she's very faithful.
For this reason he doesn't take him far, he gets tired fast.
TOIRE sits next to her who almost instantly falls asleep.
It's been very tiring.
TOIRE sits next to her and pulls out the blanket by covering them both.
I'd really think she'd fall asleep so she wouldn't talk to him if he wasn't snoring about exhaustion.
He's getting to sleep too.
NOTE: CHOSEN do not know how to lie, they are no longer allowed if they can shut up to avoid saying something.
