Nazneen lay in the bed and watched Ares crouch next to her body to remove the bullet from her stomach. This was the second time but he wasn't the one who shot her this time. She just watched him casually now having regained her strength, it didn't hurt as much as when he shot her.
He dug into her stomach with the dagger and when she didn't flinch much he glanced her way to make sure she was alright. "You should be more careful than to jump into a ship of weapons."
"You could have died if I didn't."
He smiled gently, "my life is short anyway but you can live for a long time."
"What is the point if it is not with you," she said deciding to be straightforward with him as well.
A concerned expression settled over his face and he focused on removing the bullet instead. What was that?
