Scorched City

"Yeah it does," Ace said looked out at the city from the room.

"I...appreciate you coming here" Kiana said, "I probably need some sleep though"

"Alright, but if here if ya need 'a talk." He said kindly.

"Thanks" Kiana said, getting up and walking over to her bed and laying down in it, "Night"

"Night."

It took him an hour, but Kegyr managed to drift off into a fitful sleep, though when he would wake up, was unknown.

"morning sleepy," Kanade whispered.

(Did you timeskip? xD)
Kegyr shifted slightly, his eyes barely open, "Morshgd?" He gurgled, attempted to say *Morning?*

(thought you did but whatever let's go with yes)
"here." she said handing him a glass of water

Kegyr drank out of the glass slowly, "T-thanksh" He said, regaining some of his speech somewhat.

"welcome."

Kegyr groaned as he lifted his hand to his stomach, moving it away quickly as pain shot through his body.

"you got beat up pretty bad, it's thanks to Kiana that you're still alive."

"I..." He mumbled, pausing to moan, "I think I remember some of it"

"which parts?" the demon asked curiously.

"I just remember having my stomach sliced by... a thing" He mumbled, tracing his scar with his finger gently.

(*too lazy to find what it's actually called)
"that's about what happened."

"Hmph" He grunted, "Are you okay?"

"Me?" She said rubbing the back of her head all anime like, "I'll be fine."

(All anime like ._.)
"Ugh" Kegyr grunted as he laid back down, "Can't believe I was taken out so easily"

"It wasn't your fault," Ace said as he walked in, "they were new monsters that resisted your ice."

"How would you know?" Kegyr asked, somewhat suspicious.

"The Author," he said simply.

"Who?" Kegyr asked.

"Don' know. that's just what it said at the bottom of the page"

"Hm" He mumbled, "And he gave you information about these monsters?"
(Don't mind the he they don't know what gender The Author is)

(I'm assuming the author is a he anyway.)
"yeah I guess,"

Kiana quietly walked down the stairs as she usually did.

She stopped at the bottom floor, where her clinic was, and looked at Kegyr, "You're awake, thank the gods" She sighed, "I thought you would've died"
--
"I'm tougher than that" He replied, in a joking tone.

Ace and Kanade stood side by side, watching to two.

Kiana turned and faced Kanade, "Thank you for bringing him back, it means a lot to me"
--
"Hey now..." Kegyr mumbled, "There's no need to rub it in my face"

"it was nothing really," she said, "We have to look after each other." Kanade felt like she was lieing. Not Just to Kiana but to herself, pretending to be something your not, that's lieing right?

"Well, I have work to do" Kiana said, backing away from Kegyr, "Gotta go save more lives, see yas"
--
"See ya" Kegyr said, leaning against the wall next to his bed.

"so... what now?" Ace said

"I want to go out and kill whatever did this" Kegyr said grimly, "Or at least, get more information on it."

"Information; yes, fighting; no," Ace said, offering a hand to help him up.

Kegyr accepted the help up, losing his balance for a moment before regaining it.
"So, how do we go about this? With the shape I'm in, I won't be able to do much" He said.

"hm..."
(Dose this place have bars? I mean it's post-Apoc so would it? 'cause Bars are always good places to get into.)

(Probably, just not in The Shelter.)
"We can always try to track down whoever sent you guys the info" Kegyr said, "But without any traces of where it came from, we really can't"

"we could try asking around, someone's gotta know who this guy is surly"
