Double nod

"Thanks for saving me."

Veila reached her absolute limit for how long she could speak. 

The fact that she was awake didn't change how serious her wounds were. Honestly speaking, if not for Theo's intervention, she would long lose the ability to remain awake, doomed to await the moment when her injuries would bleed all the life out of her. 

And yet, there she was, laying down on the bed in Theo's tent, resting her back against the solid backrest that protected the bedroom of the tent from potential surprise attacks. 

"I won't say it's nothing, so just keep in mind I didn't save you just out of the kindness of my heart," Theo said. 

This was still a girl that stalked him quite a lot. If not for the one yet massive gift that she passed over to the young man in a great hurry, he would still consider her more of a witness than a potential ally.
