Kasai merely nodded as Avani thanked her again, realizing that it was more of a minor recognition than an actually expression of gratitude. Kasai sighed and rummaged through the pack she found. There were several food items, which meant this must have been one of the other team's bags. She found a few bandages and gauze, as well as two more canteens of water and a map of the forest they were in before entering the portal. 

Kasai took some of the gauze and tended to her foot, covering up the worst parts in more of an effort to keep the wounds clean more than anything. She contemplated removing her other boot, but decided to leave it on. One banged up foot was enough, she didn't need the other one getting torn up by underbrush and thorns too. 

Kasai looked up when Avani groaned, but soon ignored it, knowing the cool water must be quite a relief on her wounds. She turned her attention back to the supplies and realized they were now without a radio. Even [i]if[/i] they could get back to the spirit portal and back to the physical world, they would have a ways to go before they could find help if they needed it. She grumbled and closed her eyes to try and cease the stress that was building, her mind wandering again to her last image of Kieron. He was dragged off by the spirits, not killed. Or at least, not that she had seen. 

Kasai made a silent commitment then to look for her friend before attempting to leave the spirit world. The mission no longer mattered. What mattered was finding her lifelong friend. She opened her eyes when she heard Avani whispering, and her brow furrowed as her expression grew to disgust when the hateful comment left Avani's lips. 

Kasai watched as she stood and walked out of the shelter, not bothering to pay her any more attention. Her focus was instead aimed at not tearing his girl's, who she just saved, head off. Kasai sat there brooding, but with each passing moment the comment gnawed at her. Finally, she stood up and went after Avani. 

Kasai found her several yards away, and as she approached her she noticed that she had to build herself a rock to keep herself from falling over. This time, instead of checking to make sure she wasn't going to pass out again, Kasai walked up behind her and grabbed her good arm. She pulled her backwards and spun her around so that she could look her in the eye when she spoke, no more over the shoulder comments. 

"You know what? Blame me. Blame me for it all if you want." Kasai stared into Avani's eyes with a fiery essence in her own. "But don't be so naive to think that I'm the enemy here. I could've let you bleed out, or I could've let you suffer the same fate as your friend did. But I didn't." She closed her eyes for a moment and breathed out before looking back at Avani, "I [i]saved[/i] you."
