The pain was searing hot, like liquid fire coursing through her veins as the arisen jerked violently to the side. A gasp of pain and eyes screwed shut as another bone snapped back into place. Her body slumping on the bed as the last of the bones finally mended into the place, and she managed to stay awake this time! A sore chuckle made its way out as she dragged a hand down her face.
"Master."
A tender touch at the hand laying off the side of the bed, limp, and the arisen turned her head over to look at her loyal pawn - a tired smile on her face. His helmet was cast aside as well as most his armor, but his long greatsword was within arms length away should he have to jump and defend his arisen, who in turn gently grabbed his hand.
"I'm okay."
His face scrunched in varying emotions as the pad of his thumb gently brushed across his arisen's bruised knuckles, a soothing motion that another pawn at the guild had shown him. His mouth opens and shuts a few times as his brows furrow, and his arisen watches with a tired sense of amusement before struggling to move to the side, her hand leaving his in favor of patting the open space on the bed beside her. She watches the internal struggle on his face for a few moments before he stands up and gently lays down beside her, his arms hesitant as he pulls her close to him. His warmth quickly lulls the arisen into a quiet slumber in a matter of minutes and he simply stares at the wall in front of him as he holds her.
He can't feel her heartbeat like most humans, and he isn't sure whether to be relieved or worried.
His arms pull her closer.
