Kor’is eyed the hand like it was some sort of trick. He was relieved she was off of him and was fine continuing to lay on the sand where the heat was starting to be comforting. But he finally took the offer to help him up, deciding it was the least she could do for the pain he was in. Once on his feet, he immediately let go of her hand and staggered a bit before finding his balance enough to take careful steps to his cushion and sketchpad that had been abandoned when the fight started.
He was far from graceful when he collapsed onto the cushion and somehow he managed to tidy up his supplies before realising how much his hand hurt and noticed the smears of blood on it. A tender touch to his nose and mouth revealed something had bled at some point and Kor’is almost laughed at how he hadn’t noticed before then, especially since he had likely had blood in his mouth regardless of where it came from. At least he had all of his teeth—he checked twice with a prodding tongue—and it didn’t seem like his nose was broken but just sore like the rest of his face.
Are you okay? Do you want to talk about it? Taith carefully asked the second question as he approached Kor’is, sitting down several feet away. He already knew what both answers would be but the concern was hard to shake and Taith felt like he had failed Kor’is somehow by not being able to prevent such an event from happening.
I’m fine and no, I don’t. Kor’is didn’t even want to think about what had transpired, what had caused it, or what else it reminded him of so he certainly didn’t want to explain any of that to the dragon that was too young and innocent to truly comprehend any of it. What he really wanted was to be slathered in numbweed but he didn’t want to deal with a healer and walking to find one was too much effort right then.
Sorry to worry you, kiddo, Kor’is reached out and stroked Taith’s head, giving him a few extra scritches around the eye ridges before lowering his hand so he could wrap his arms loosely around his legs he’d drawn up. He carefully rested his head on a knee and tried to stay awake and not think about anything other than a hot bath. He didn’t want Taith prying into anything and Kor’is himself was simply done with it all.
I’m okay. Kor’is says he’s okay, Taith didn’t fully believe it but he wouldn’t push Kor’is on it. He could tell some time was needed and quietly laid down beside his sweet but sometimes foolish boy.
