It was the early morning and Kage blinked his eyes open, before they shot wide. His breathing became labored and in short breaths as he momentarily forgot where he was. Where was he? What was this place? A small sharp pain in his side, closer to his back made him remember. The crazy Roegadyn. Abalathia? Being held at point. Being carried off. The tackle that sent the blade driving into him. Ul'dah. Ser Anelia. The clinic. Camp Drybone. The heavy armored Roegadyn who took him hostage with an axe to his neck. The sharp point as it drew blood as it dug in. Being taken back to the clinic.
That's where he was. He was at the clinic. He had gotten into the hot tub as Naz and Anelia talked. He couldn't hear anything over the sounds of the hot tub and the wall separating them. He was also simply exhausted as he trudged out of the tub, pulling on his clothes and was asleep before his head hit the bed pillow.
Something awoke him but what? His ears and eyes picked up on movement from a figure beside his bed and his heart raced a moment. He nearly winced from the pain before he noticed who it was.
"Kay..ah?" Kage whispered, a small wheeze coming out.
The Miqo'te nodded, scooping the Lalafell into his arms. "We're going home, back to the tribe house my Kage Tia."
Kage sighed, closing his eyes and nodded. A small hand gripped the fabric of Kayah's shirt.
"Welcome home, Kage Tia. We're going to keep an eye on you, keep you safe."
Kage nodded once more, exhaustion sweeping over himself once more as he let go. He trusted them, his family. He went to sleep knowing that he was safe and loved.
