@hisambitixns sent for a meme to find my muse bruised and bloodied:
The Chimera’s fearful brown eyes flickered up to her taller friend. A small trickle of crimson ribboned downwards, sleeve torn and mangled in unusable scraps. That would mean Yukio would easily spy upon that thick Goblinesque arrow which danced from the top of the shoulder to the top of palm. It was off red in color, but it’s not as though this was the first time he’d witness them.
Bruises dotted the woman’s skin, from what the Doctor-Dragoon could assess on sight. A few places upon the usual navy hood spotted with blood, rips assuming that something with claws had run her through with them. Now, because the girl trusted Yukio so much, there was no need to act tough anymore. Her friend wouldn’t judge!
The shorter figure relaxed as much as the pain would allow, joyful yet painful shimmers reflecting in their eye contact. “I..” She knew that regeneration would kick in eventually, but. “I... I don’t know. I blacked out again when a--a thing attacked me. I only remember getting the stomach scratch then I was on the ground. That thing is gone and I’ve...Heh... I’m in a pitiful condition.” Eyes downcast to where palms clutched into the wound, desperately attempting to relieve blood flow. “I don’t know if I’m okay. I’m hurt.” Ears pressed as flatly against her skull as they could while she softly nipped her lip. “Yuki...I-I’m not a monster, am I?”
