The knife clattered to the ground as limp fingers failed to keep hold of the sharp implement. Frantically wiping his eyes with the clean part of his sleeze, Kai desperately cleared the mud and welling water at his eyes to see what he had done. 
Part of him knew the answer, that he had struck the wing dead on, but that wing did not belong to the bird that was accosting the other person. This one was..

Eyes cleared, fresh tears began to well up as the true realization dawned on him. This was a person! A real person, with wings! A being of the Abyss. Kais mind reeled at the implications of what he had done. It was one thing to kill a creature of the abyss, and another entirely to kill somethig that still LOOKED human.

"I- I- oh, gods, what have I done. Your wing! We need to get you bandages, stop the bleeding. I'm so sorry!." 

Frantic and desperate, Kai abandoned his knife and ran to the discarded pack. There had been food smooshed inside it but the bandages had been on the outside pockets. Fishing them out with clumsy haste, he was beside the bird girl holding them out with a shaking hand.

"Forgive me. I couldn't- I would never have-" Words failed to make sense as the boy panicked at his blunder. "Do you need help applying the bandages?" Was all he managed to squeak out, finally.
