It was already past ten minutes but the clashes in the kitchen weren't followed by another disturbances at all. As if she had just dreamed about it. Maybe.
But to make sure, she slowly opened her door with her scissor still on her other hand. She then silently climbed down the stairs in tiptoe and towards the kitchen.
Luna's heart literally stopped for a second before she found herself dashing over the lying figure in the floor. Letting go of the scissor, she had her hands hovering above his body, unsure where to touch him and not hurt him.
"J-Nimrod? Wh-what happened?" She asked him although she knew he was unconscious but the bloods on his body indicated that he was in danger. So instead of going in hysteria, she ran to the living room to get her phone and call for emergency but he grabbed her other hand suddenly upon picking up that information on her head. "Oh my gosh...are you alright?! What happened?! I'm gonna bring you to the hospital, okay?"
Nimrod only firmly closed his eyes and grunted in pain when he tried to bolt into a seat while Luna helped him to sit up.
"Don't call any help..." Nimrod said, wincing in pain .
"You're injured Nimrod! What do you think you want me to do? Watch you bleed and die?"
Nimrod only threw his head on the counter while staring at her with his bloodied face.
"I'll be fine."
"But..." Luna 's face contorted in much worry, looking at his wound.
"I'm self healing, Luna. No need to fuss over it."
"I'm not fussing you grouch." Luna said. "Look at you. Let me bring you in bed at least."
Nimrod just nodded at that while they got up slowly, never really intending to let her bear his weight but he felt so weak right now that he felt his feet gained mass more than its usual load.
Luna had let him on his bed inside his grandparent's room while she ran up to her room and get her first aid immediately.
Just before she could exit her room, she felt like someone was staring at her outside her window. But when she turned her head on it, there was nothing in there. Maybe she was just hallucinating into seeing a bird outside and just got herself down on his room. Just after she closed the door, a blue bird had flown away from window as it met another of its kind in the rooftop. Both squeaked loudly, flapping their wings in the air as they went away from the particular house.
*****************************************************************************************************
Nimrod was sitting on his bed with his upper body rid of his garment. He looked up to her when she got inside the door with her first aid kit.
Luna saw the wound right on his torso while she crouched down just below his feet. Her eyes also wondered to the wound on his chest, wondering what on earth could possibly gave him those kinds of wounds.
"What did this?" she finally asked noticing those weren't ordinary at all.
Nimrod grunted in pain, throwing his head up in the ceiling in closed eyes as he pulled out something from his wound. He threw it down the floor while Luna's eyes widened in shock.
"Are those claw nail?" she asked in aghast tone.
Nimrod didn't answer as he readily collapsed on the bed with his back. Her attention was on him again as she stood up and went to join him in the bed instead and saw him still closing his eyes firmly while his face bathed with sweats.
Opening the kit now, she first got the alcohol and cotton to clean up the surrounding bloods on his wound .
"There's no need, Luna." he said when she began cleaning the wound first on his chest.
"Shh. Let me do this at least since you refused hospital." she said while her brows furrowed in concentration.
Nimrod was left staring at this strange human again before he turned his attention to the ceiling.
"What happened to you, Nimrod?" she asked then while she proceeded on putting some betadine to his wounded chest. But he wasn't answering at all which made her looked up to him. He was just staring at the ceiling blankly. When Luna saw how his face was sweating, she looked for her tissue first then wiped those away off him. This stole Nimrod's eyes to her direction now.
"Is it painful?" she asked.
"No." he said.
"I'll do it quick, okay?" she said gently.
Nimrod just scrunched his nose to her before she chuckled, returning back to tending his wounds.
It took a while before she was done in the last wound on his torso, putting some gauzes and bandages on them even though he said it was unnecessary.
Closing back her aid kit, she looked at the claw nail in the floor and picked it up. By closer look, it looked like it belonged to a large kind of animal. She turned to Nimrod's direction who was staring at her all along.
"So, any clue as to how you get this?" Luna asked but he still didn't say anything while she heaved a deep sigh. "Right, you maim grouch." she stood up from his bed and went to the door .
"Hey smidgen." he called out while she turned to him, expecting him to be charming and say his thank yous. "Next time you come here, wear your pajamas. I just saw your panties while you're tending on me."
