Rolling her eyes at his words she shook her head lowering her gaze down as she pulled her hand away from her middle her palm stained bright red with the blood that seemed to continue to seep out of her wounds reminding her that she would need medical attention at some time though whether this was sooner or later was something she really didn't care about,[color=Bisque]"The Queen... is [i]not[/i] going to be... dying for the pawn... Just going to give... him time to get awa-..."[/color] Her words were cut off as she felt her body lift from the ground pressing flat against his back as he hoisted her up letting her know that no matter what it was that she said or tried to say there was no way in hell he was going to be leaving her behind, furrowing her brows together in confusion her soft pink lips parted slightly as she tried to figure out just why it was that he was trying to help her in the first place... First by transferring all the energy and power he had collected in his sacred gear, and now by carrying her all the way back to the club room even when he was injured due to her lack speed when trying her best to get to the scene to help him out, [color=LightSeaGreen]"Geez. Don’t be stupid. There’s no way you can fight in your condition. And what the hell am I supposed to do if you die because of me?"[/color]

Shutting her eyes tightly as she felt pain shoot through her body she clenched her jaw forcing her words to come out stronger and less breathy though she realized that they had come out a lot harsher than she had originally intended them to be, [color=Bisque]"I can fight in this condition and worse, don't think that I can't. I've been taught since the beginning of my existence to be stronger than this... Heh, and I'm not going to die, don't think yourself that lucky Taiga..."[/color] Realizing that there was no way in which she was going to win this argument she turned her gaze away from him altogether her head lowering to rest softly in the nape of his neck and her body relaxing over his back while her wings lowered behind them dragging along on the ground leaving a trail of blood and black and white feathers showing where they had come from, closing her eyes she worked to try and slow her heart beating in her chest taking slow yet deep breaths in and out until his words pulled her out of her slight trance and back to reality causing her to turn her head to look back at him surprise written all over her face, [color=LightSeaGreen]"If you’re worried about someone else showing up, I’ll just get us out of here before that happens. And I’m gonna pay you back for this. The next time we’re caught up in a battle, I’ll be the one doing the protecting."[/color]

[color=Bisque]"..Taiga..."[/color] Leaning in without so much as a second (or first) thought about it she closed the gap between the two of them her eyes fluttering closed as she pressed her lips softly against his cheek the work she had done to control the speed of her heart going out the window as it once more began to beat out of control with her action and with the pain pulsing through her thanks to the dying adrenaline in her veins, allowing her lips to linger against his skin for a few more moments she finally pulled back her cheeks a soft tinge of red as she turned her head once more away from his her eyes remaining closed as she went back to letting it rest against his neck her voice soft as she spoke the days events finally beginning to catch up with the young fallen, [color=Bisque]"..Thank you... Really, thank you..."[/color]
