#gruve

Lurete was known through the Domain for her dedication. But she was also known for her stubbornness. Whenever she had to leave, be it for medicine or just a normal swim, she was encouraged to bring along someone for this very reason.

Right now Lurete and Gruve were stuck on the pathway up towards the Domain, Lurete walking because of the ingredients she had gone to buy, which needed to be kept dry for the time being. They’d been ambushed by Lizalfos on the way up, and Lurete’s determination to keep her bag out of the water led to her getting shot with an arrow. Thankfully not a shock arrow, but it was still causing blood to run down her arm, even seeping through her fingers despite maintaining pressure on it for the time being.

Gruve used the spear he borrowed for the trip to attack one, Lurete letting go of her arm long enough to join the fray with her own dagger, focusing on the second Lizalfos. She knew it would make her bleeding worse, but right now it didn’t matter. She needed to get rid of the threat and then she can patch herself up. Gruve however, had other ideas.

“Lurete! Cut that out!” He hissed when he glanced back at her, dodging an arrow. Honestly, he meant that in both the ‘take the arrow out’ way and the ‘stop what you’re doing’ way. “Don’t move, you’re bleeding!”

“I’m aware,” She retorted. She didn’t mean to be short, but she’s stressing out and focusing on the fight, watching out of the corner of her eye as Gruve finally killed his Lizalfos and came over to help her with hers.

She took the chance to back up and take a knee, wiping her dagger off on her bag with a shaky sigh. She always hated working on the road, or on herself, but she’s trained herself to be used to it. Slipping her tongue between her teeth to avoid clenching her jaw while half watching Gruve in his fight until the Lizalfos finally turned to dust.

Before he even had time to catch his breath and come over to try and help, she was already using her dagger to remove the arrow, knowing better than to tug it out. “Get out my supplies please.” She instructed him, covering the wound with her hand until he’d gotten out enough padding and bandages for her to patch the wound. At least, well enough until they can get back to the Domain.
