When kanaya woke, it was nearly nightfall. She must have slept for at least three hours. She went to stand up when she noticed there was something on her. Eridans cape had somehow found its way on her. Kanaya was confused to say the least, somebody must have washed it then placed it on her. She looked over to eridans cocoon and saw it was empty, she came to the realization that eridan must have covered her. She stood up and looked around, eridan sat at his desk not too far from her. He seemed very transfixed on his work, he seemed to be typing in his computer and jotting down notes. "How Is The Wound?" Kanaya asked. Eridan jumped up and yelled, obviously being startled. " Jeez Kan, You can't Scare a guy like that, might givve me a heart attack!" Eridan yelled once he managed to compose himself. " I Apologize, I Was Simply Checking Up On You." Kanaya replied. " wwell, i wwill admit its better than anything i evver did." That caught kanayas attention, what did he mean by "did"? "The stitching is amazing, I'm not bleeding, and the pain is barely there." eridan told her " This one might not leavve to bad of a scar."
"While I Do Not Mean To Pry, Speaking Of Scars, Where Did You Get Such A Numerous Number Of Scars" Kanaya Inquired. Eridan let out a sigh " Like i said before, not evvery hunt goes as planned "Eridan said nonchalantly " Sometimes i misjudge distance, Sometimes i underestimate my prey, sometimes I'm the prey, And sometimes I'm simply not strong enough to kill it. So naturally, i pay the price in blood" He continued to do work on his computer and notes. "Why Have You Never Told Me, Or Your Morail For That Matter" Kanaya asked concerned. " Most of the wwounds wwere not to bad and healed on there owwn. For the wworse ones i usually did the sewwing and cleaning myself" Eridan replied still transfixed on his work " I needed your help because i had run out of medical supplies and this one wwas the wworst one yet." " You Still Could Have Told Feferi" Kanaya said. " She has enough on her plate, she doesnt need to worry about me and my fuck ups." He told her "Besides, lets be honest, Howw much help do you think she could be?"
Kanaya walked over to him to see what he was doing. On the computer was a large map, and the papers on the table held variouse coordinates. "What Are You Doing?" Kanaya asked curiously. " Tracking wwhere that pain in the ass lusus wwent." He told her turning to face her "I still need to hunt it dowwn and kill it." Kanaya was shocked, He Had just been seriously injured and nearly died and he wanted to go right back to hunting! " Eridan you are in no condition to take on any laborious task, let alone hunt a lusus that nearly managed to kill you!" Kanaya told him sternly. " Trust me, i wwould much rather sit and relax like you suggest." Eridan said plainly "Howwevver, I don't havve a choice. If i don't hunt food for fefs lusus, Thats a death sentence for evvery troll. Besides, I couldnt make her hunt for the food herself, Fef doesnt havve the heart to kill anything. I wwouldnt put her through that." Kanaya was surprised, she had never knew eridan to be so considerate. Kanaya had to admit, She Never knew eridan was such a bad ass. Though she would never tell him to his face, She didnt want to inflate his ego any more. " Tell you what eridan, you get some rest and heal your wounds, I will speak with feferi about getting food until you heal." Kanaya told him. Eridan sat and pondered for awhile " I Guess you're right, i don't care wwho does the hunting so long as you promise me it isn't Fef." Eridan told her. " Deal" Kanaya told him smiling " I Will Contact Her, Then Stay Here To Help You Heal While She Asks If Any Of Our Friends Can Help." Kanaya suddenly remembered something. "Eridan, Did Anyone Come Visit While I Was Asleep?" Kanaya inquired " No, wwhy?" Eridan asked somewhat confused. " well, earlier while you were asleep i sent a message from your account telling everyone you were injured but alive." Kanaya said confused. Eridans face grew solemn and sad " They probably saww it was from me and just ignored it" Kanaya was in shocked, did they really just ignore it? When this was over she was going to have a few "polite" words with them. However, that was a future concern. 'I Will Contact Feferi On My Account The." Kanaya old eridan. " Alright, i guess i could get some more rest." Eridan replied while yawning. He went and settled in his cocoon, and was soon sleeping. Kanaya knew this was going to be a long time before eridan healed. However, She knew he needed her so she didnt mind.
