❝ i’ll stay. ❞ / for kain (i have your ask still..haha)
staying the night prompts / @breathofthearth
"Don't burden yourself."
Kain's voice came as easily as one could pull out an adult's teeth: begrudging and stubborn, weary and long-suffering. His lay on the bed, half-dressed and half-swathed in bandages, disheveled hair cascading over the single pillow and hanging off the side of the bed.
It had been a godsend that she found him. Kain didn't believe he would have stayed conscious, let alone able to handle his wounds in a way that would promise he would remain hale and whole. He knew first aid, certainly - he doubted there was a soldier on the planet who didn't know basic care.
He doubted most of them would react much better than he upon being nearly bisected.
Kain reached up, digging his thumb and forefinger into the bridge of his nose. Whatever curative spell she had used to speed up his mending was beginning to ebb. The exhaustion of lost adrenaline and the general ache of living had begun to return, and he let out a long, careful sigh.
He feared waking somewhere else. He feared finding out what he had been doing, and to whom.
He feared biting the hand that had so generously tended to him - ... and while he wanted to trust her word about how she had come upon him, he wasn't certain.
"But - ..."
More teeth pulling. He struggled to be properly polite on a good day: now, he extended his bloodied olive branch with a shaking, tired hand.
"I would appreciate your skills further," he said, "and will do what I can to compensate you, miss - ...?"

pov your ex held your collection of thrifted spoons hostage for over a year (not entirely his fault, they got mixed up in his things during a move and you did not realize it, though he did adamantly deny that he had them) and reached out to your roommate on instagram nine months post break up after being thoroughly blocked for several months just to ask if you were still roommates and then to very cryptically reveal that he had in fact found the spoons (among other, mystery items that he did not reveal and you also have no idea what they are) in his car that he had not driven for a year cause he decided to make the worst financial decision of his life and buy a tesla and then tried to coordinate a meet up to drop off said spoons and mystery items which you did not want but you do want your spoons so you told him to either mail it or show up to your place of work when you were not scheduled only for him to entirely miss the point and still try to see you, then you reveal that you do not want to see him so he finally says that he will put on his big boy pants and mail it (though him actually mailing it is entirely unlikely) and also aparently hes gotten a perm since the last time you saw him and it looks terrible

In which Human-Grim has to take care of our NRC-Boys-As-Animals, and has a time of it.
This was a lot of fun to do, a lot of the characters already had animal motifs, others where very hard to come up with an animal equivalent. Still not particularly happy with some of my choices, but c’est la vie. Also been a hot minute since I've spent this long on a drawing. Twisted Wonderland has me in an absolute vice grip, consumes most of my waking thoughts, clears my skin, waters my crops ... I'm tired and starting to not make sense. I shall end my inane ramblings here.
