That's good to know, you had me so worried.

[Which she shouldn't be, but she was anyway. Having a teenager step in and save your life is one thing. Dragging him into a potentially dangerous situation where he ends up injured as well? Different story.]

[the_dancing_dork]

[Hearing that made the blue-masked tutle's cheeks redden a bit. but instead he turned his gaze to the ground.]

You shouldn't have been, fighting guys like those natives is nothing new to me. It was you that I was worried about.

[anelegantmyth]

You mean this thing?

[She raises her shirt a bit to reveal the blood stained bandage of hers. Poking it for added effect but wincing right after.]

I-It's nothing to worry yourself over. I'm a tough girl, I've been through worse.

[Ok maybe that was a lie. As far as injuries go, she's had every possible injury you could get while travelling the pokemon world. But never in her life has she ever been stabbed. EVER.]

[the_dancing_dork]

[He wasn't convinced.]

Are you sure that you want to be out here? I mean I don't want you to make the wound any worst than it already is.

[anelegantmyth]

Leo, sweetie, if I didn't want to be out here I wouldn't waste all that effort getting out of bed and walking. Besides...I promised Gaius I'd take it easy. This is me taking it easy.

[She slowly leans against a crate and look out at the horizon.]

This wasn't the first time I've been attacked by locals. Here I thought that part was over.

[the_dancing_dork]

[He didn't seem to catch that last part.]

Okay, sorry. I just... don't want you to be in anymore pain then you were then...

[All because he couldn't stop it from happening.]

[anelegantmyth]

I got stabbed in a world where hospitals don't exist, and I'm going to have to live with a week-no, a month long recovery process that doesn't involve pain killers, proper medication and a sterile environment that won't cause possible infection.

Gaius poured some of Gan Ning's nasty rum on my open stab wound. I'm pretty sure I won't experience anything that could top that level of pain.

[the_dancing_dork]

[...and that did nothing to make him feel better.]

Okay, just... don't push yourself too much, okay?

[anelegantmyth]

[A weak chuckle. She was sure she'd be hearing that line over and over for the next few days]

Don't worry about me, Leo. I won't be getting myself into danger any time soon. I can't even get out of bed without her help. [Pointing to garchomp.]

I'm pretty sure you won't even see much of me after this.

[the_dancing_dork]

[Still not helping.]

Oh, umm... okay. I guess if you say so...

[anelegantmyth]

I was told there were ruin on the island. So I thought I'd check them out before we leave. I never got to see them. But I assume I was close since those natives attacked me.

Then you showed up...what on earth were you doing there anyway?

[the_dancing_dork]

I had been checking out the island when you and those natives ran past me. I figured that something was wrong, so I went after you. Good thing I did, I was able to get there before anything bad could happen... at least at that moment.

[Because he sure as shell wasn't able to hold them all back.]

[anelegantmyth]

[She smiles weakly before wrapping her arms around the teen. She gave one to Gaius for patching her up, so Leo deserved on too.]

You saved my life, Leo. I owe you big time.

[the_dancing_dork]

[And now he was blushing even more.]

Umm... i-it's fine. You don;t need to owe me anything, just happy to help. [Then he looks back at the ground.] Besides, I wasn;t able to stop that guy from stabbing you.

[anelegantmyth]

Nonsense! I thought I was going to die back there and you saved my life. The stab was my fault, I wasn't paying attention. But I'm still here and I'm still breathing, Leo. That's enough.

[Slowly, she lets go and kisses the top of his head.]

I'll make it up to you. I don't care if you don't want me to, I will.

[the_dancing_dork]

[If his face wasn't already as red as Raph's mask, he's pretty sure that it was now.]

I... okay, but you don't have to. I mean I'll let you fi you want to, but... there really isn't any need to repay me.

[anelegantmyth]

[The champion goes quiet for a bit. Sucking in a deep breath and clutching on to her side. For a moment, she had forgotten about her stab wound. But with the lack of proper medication, the pain decided to hit her like a ton of bricks.]

Urgh...stupid.

[the_dancing_dork]

[Leo had also gone quiet, but hearing Cynthia in pain made him alert again.]

Cynthia, I think you've been out long enough. I think it's time that you go lay back down.

[anelegantmyth]

I'm fine, Leo.

[A quick shift on her seat and she was back to and probably failing at ignoring the pain.]

Besides, look at that beautiful sunset. Don't make me miss it.

[the_dancing_dork]

[He groaned. Honestly, she was as stubborn as his brothers!]

Fine. But as soon as it's all the way down, you need to go back to bed. Okay?

[anelegantmyth]

[She holds her side and chuckles, trying to ease the pain a little. Honestly, this kid was adorable when he started acting like everyone's leader.]

Last time I checked, Gan Ning was the only man allowed to boss me around.

[the_dancing_dork]

Well if you want to play it that way, I can go get him to get you to go lay back down.

[And he'd do it too.]

[anelegantmyth]

[Insert dramatic gasp here, then a wince because wow that hurt.]

Leo, that's blackmail. How dare you do that to your elders? Tsk. Naughty.

[the_dancing_dork]

I'm doing it for your own good.

[anelegantmyth]

Well fine then, I'll go back after the sunset. But that'll mean you won't see me anymore...well ok maybe you will after two weeks...you get the idea.
