Soft Spot

I smiled. "I'm fine, just a little bruise." I looked at my elbow and saw a wound, must be because I used it when I landed on the ground. "I'll go to the restroom and wash the blood off." El looked concerned but he let me go. 

I'm handling blood well now. Before, I used to freeze whenever I see blood, but now I'm getting used to it. 

"This isn't good." 

Night will surely scold me if he sees a wound on my body. 'Wait, if he did follow me, he would have seen what happened. I don't need to explain anything.' After washing my arm, I went out of the restroom. 

"Are you sure you're okay?" El asked. "Your elbow's still bleeding." He said as he pulled a handkerchief from his bag and immediately wrapped it around my wound. 

"Wait, is it okay for me to use this?" 

El nodded. "Of course." He said with a smile and he gave me a penguin stuffed animal. "Here, I thought you would like this."
