[with Thomas]

[A day or two after this.]

There are five of the liveried guardsmen in the inn now, and two in the stables.

Kaya hid the night in a storeroom bin that used to hold apples, and is now peering through a crack in the wall into the common room and trying to find a way past them.

Except there's more fabric still, tight and binding, where Kaya would likely expect to see bare chest.

Thomas is trying very hard not to think about that, and focus more on staying alive.

Thomas does his best to help, but things are a little fuzzy around the edges and his own hands are shaking.

"It'll be alright," he says finally, trying to soothe. "I'll be okay."

He grimaces, but does just that, pressing the rag against the bleeding wound.

"Bindings," he finally gasps out.

This, he can do, even on his worst days. Gently, he guides Kaya's hands into wrapping the wound tightly.

They can talk about his breasts when he's not bleeding out, anymore.

As soon as the bandage is fastened, Thomas is doing up the buttons of his shirt once more. Slowly. Methodically. Lest his own shaking hands get the better of him.

"There we go," he says, trying to soothe the girl. "It'll be okay now, see?"

If she'll let him, he's just going to slide an arm around her shoulders now, maybe tug her close.

"This morning, or...?"

He keeps his hold loose, just in case she decides she wants to get away.

"Knew those guards were crawling all over the forest, I didn't want to see you get hurt."

He doesn't pull her closer. Instead, he scoots closer, squeezing her in a half-hug has the girl's back twitches.

Thomas doesn't say anything just yet, just lets her cry.

Thomas makes to stand, grimacing. It's a bit awkward and slow, but he eventually manages to get to his feet with the assistance of the wall of their outcropping.

"I'll have to manage."

He shakes his head, a stubborn set to his jaw.

"Won't get rid of me that easily, Kid."

She gets another hug, Thomas squeezing her against his uninjured side affectionately.

"Come on, then. We'll try to lose them in the river again."
