Marishka felt herself being swept up in a daze, the kiss was something she had not seen coming, but nor had her changing her mind. She managed to get her mind back on track and knew she could only do one thing; she gently pulled away from the kiss and said, "I'm not sure I can do this, I'm not sure about anything anymore, my life doesn't seem to have any meaning, maybe it would have been better if I'd died in those caves." it was confusing, she'd enjoyed the kiss, but the hurt was too much, she needed time to think about everything, and she was very tired, her legs buckled but she could feel his arms round her shoulders, holding her up.
"You should sleep." Karl said, he was a bit hurt when she'd pushed away from the kiss, but looking at her now, it wouldn't have been fair on her to continue for much longer. Her mind and heart had been overtaxed; he hoped a good rest would help. He picked her up with both arms and carried her to the tent. She made a couple of disorientated protests, but still clung to him as if her life depended on it. He laid her on the camp bed and watched her fall into a deep sleep within a few minutes.
Marishka woke up the next morning feeling a bit better, her mind seemed more at ease, and the shock of the previous morning was no longer influencing her actions. Instead she was very hungry and thirsty; this in turn made her very weak. She tried to sit up but her arms would not support her weight.
Karl came in and saw she was awake, 2I'm guessing you're hungry, here, eat this, it's not much, but it's something." he placed a tray with some pasta and a drink on the small table next to the bed before helping her sit up.
Marishka turned her head slightly and brushed her lips against his, "Thank you." she whispered.
