Skylar sighed as she limped back up to her apartment, trying her best to hide the pain she was in. She had a small cut on her leg, but that wasn’t why she was limping. On her way back, she had twisted her ankle while running, and now it hurt to walk.

👼🏼

Revil trotted up behind her, a nasty looking cut on the side of his face. He had flushed out of his water form (which I forgot to mention, since he’s humanized water, he can do such things) and left behind his meek human self. He jogged to catch up with Skylar, smiling.
“Hey. Have a good day? Is that limp okay?”

Skylar sounds around to face him, giving him a small smile on return. “Oh, um, hey Revil. Yeah, it’s fine. Just twisted my ankle a bit. You know how clumsy I am.”

Revil’s smile faded a bit. “I’m sorry about that. I have some ice in my room if you want to get some for your ankle.”

“That would actually be great, thank you,” Skylar said, her smile widening slightly.

“Hey, it’s no problem. It’s just this way.” He pointed to his room and walked to it, opening the door to a meowing cat, who was anxiously awaiting his return.

Skylar smiled down at the cat. “Well hey, kitty,” she giggled, reaching down to pet it.

The cat meowed and rubbed against her legs, purring huskily. Revil crossed his apartment and grabbed out a few handfuls of ice and into a baggie.

“Did you ever tell me your cat’s name? If so, I can’t remember,” Skylar called to Revil, still petting the cat.

Revil trotted over and shut the door. “Her name’s Rixi.” He handed Skylar the bag of ice.

“Cute name. Thank you,” Skylar said as she took the ice, standing up straight again. “So, how’ve you been?”

“Thanks. It was my mum’s name.” He led her to a couch and sat her down. “I’ve been well. How about you?”

“I’ve been good.” Aside from almost getting seriously injured today… “Busy, but good.”

Revil nodded and sat down with a sigh, running his hands over the delicately hidden scratch on his face.
“That’s good to hear. Busy’s always good.”

“I suppose,” Skylar half-agreed with a nod as she leaned against the doorframe.

Revil patted the couch next to him. “Come sit.”

Skylar gave him a quick smile as she crossed the room to sit by him. “How’s work been?”

Revil laughed a bit and patted his lap for his cat, who jumped up.
“Exhausting.”

“Yeah, I bet. Work’s always exhausting, isn’t it?” Skylar chuckled as she reached over to scratch the cat’s head.

The cat meowed happily, purring and kneading Revil’s shirt.
“Isn’t it?” Revil asked with a laugh.

Skylar laughed lightly with him. “Thanks again for the ice. I should really be getting back home, now. My roommate will start worrying about me.”

Revil nodded and smiled a bit. “I’m right here if you ever want an ear.” He looked back down at his cat, who meowed for more attention.

“Thanks. I appreciate it,” Skylar said with a genuine smile as she rose from the couch. She started toward the door, turning back to Revil once she reached it. “I’ll see you later.”

Revil smiled back, glancing up. He watched her to the door, making sure she didn’t trip and waved.
“See you.”

Skylar waved back before stepping into the hallway. She made her way down the hall to her room and was immediately questioned by a shorter, Korean girl when she walked into the apartment.

“Where have you been?” Elizabeth questioned, hands on her hips. Her dark brown hair swished around her waist, though she refused to cut it yet.

“Revil gave me an ice pack for my ankle and we talked a bit,” Skylar answered with a shrug, holding up the bag of ice.

Revil rubbed his cat’s head and sighed. He was all alone again. Maybe he should go back to plotting, but that was tiring and it made him feel ridiculous.
