Kaicus…..

While on a mass hunting trip Jaeil walked through the front door clenching her left side. Alani (Alice) from where she sat on the floor could see the blood saturating her hand dripping down towards the dragon v-cut leather skirt she wore. Aggressively swinging the doors open towards the dining area she grabbed a bowl filling it with warm water then heating it over a medium fire. Grabbing a clean cloth, then some needle and thread, she walks over to the adjacent cabinet removing a jar containing sea salt. Pouring the salt in the bowl she awaits while the salt crystals dissolved. Placing the cloth in the salty water she soaks it completely, removing her hand from her injury she rings out the cloth and uses it to clean her wound. The immediate stinging sensation caused her to grimace in pain. In doing so her natural reaction caused her free hand to knock over the pots and pans that sat on the counter causing a loud banging noise. The noise alerted Alanis attention.

Her natural compassionate instinct caused her to ignore her initial fear giving her courage before she realized it she found herself walking towards the dining room door. Pushing open the door she sees Jaeil standing cleaning her wound. Looking towards the floor she sees small drops of blood. She didn’t announce her presence but was extremely careful not to startle her. Placing the items she held in her hand on the table she now stood directly on the side of her. Jaeil feeling her presence yet ignoring her continued to attend to her wound. From the way she was cleaning it she could tell she hadn’t the slightest idea as to what she was doing, and how could she prior to this she had not one scar on her body. Never having a wound to attend to she lacked the experience on how to properly care for it however she did. Still ignoring her, Alani grabs another cloth dips it into the salty water then rings it out leaving it slightly soaked. Leaving it slightly soaked and not ringing out all the water completely allowed the cloth to absorb the majority of the spilled blood. Reaching over towards her wound she places the cloth gently on her wound, the immediate feel of her upon her skin caused Jaeil to aggressively slap her hand away. Taken back from her reaction she was at a loss for words and before she realized it tears began to swell in her eyes. It was not her intention to press beyond her position or to invade her space she only sought to help. While Jaeil starred in her eyes and saw the genuine compassion she finally realized the same.
