Alpha Kael
“I hit my head.”
Kael goes to reach for me, but I shy away. If he is going to help me, then I don’t want it. Not when my dignity is already slashed to pieces by my own stupidity. I just want to crawl back and never have to look at him in the eye again. Even if he does look nothing but concerned for what has happened.
“We need to get you back,” he says sternly. “At least sit down for a moment, catch your breath.”
To that, I listen. Sinking down to my haunches, I sit, cradling my head. The blood seems to be diminishing with time. It must only be a scratch, with a headache to follow from the initial impact.
