(Did I write too much or too little???)
It took about 10 minutes for azra to make it to the building her heart was racing at the thought of finding some first aid supplies. She slipped through the now stuck sliding door and grunted from the stinging in her side "fuck- there's gotta be first aid in here somewhere."
(Youre ok! XD)
Cathal jumps and looks up, staring at the woman a few feet away from him. He crouched down, his eyes wide. Then, after a moment, he calls out. "Are you hurt?"
(Well then I'm confused! 🤣)
Azra pulled out her gun as soon as she heard movement her eyes instantly landing on cathal, she paused for a moment before lying "it's just a scrape, some alcohol and gauze and I'll be fine. " in reality she needed needle and thread plus the other two things, but she didn't want to willingly place a target on her back.
Cathal shakes his dead. "Thats no scrape…that wound looks lethal. Please…let me help. I have needle and thread if you need it." He digs in his bag and offers a full medical kit. "Please. I have plenty."
Azra thought for a moment and looked down at her side, her dirtier plum tank top was sticky with blood surrounding the area. "Open it show me what's inside. " she said her voice was hoarse as her eyes stayed glued on the man before her.
He does so. There was needle and tread, gauze, all different types of bandaids, and several disinfectant. There was even a few needles and pain killers of various strengths.
She cautiously made her way over to the man taking a closer look at the contents of the med kit. She took it from him and looked it over, her gun still in her other hand. "What's the catch? " she asked glancing down at him, there was something vaguely familiar about him but she couldn't tell who he was.
Cathal shakes his head. "No catch. I wanna help as many survivors as I can…" He smiles warmly. "I don't want to be the only one alive." He murmurs.
She looked at him with a raised brow. "yeah
well if you help everyone you meet that will soon lead you to your death."
Cathal sighs softly. "Better risk yourself for several others. Right? Especially in this world…" He clears his throat. "Anyways…keep that. And maybe be more careful."
"That's not always the case.. But thanks," she took the kit and looked at the supplies Inside of it.
(Sorry this is so damn short lol)
(Naw its fine. Give me a bit for my brain to work and ill reply)
(Oki!! Take your time 😁)
Cathal nods, then thinks for a moment. "Would you like to come to my bunker…?" He murmurs. "its safe there.."
Azra looked at him for a moment, "um.. I don't know-" she wasn't sure if she should go with him or not, sure she could hold her own, and it would be helpful to lay low so she could fix herself up,
Cathal looks at her. He was avoiding eye contact, but he did seem worried for her. He kept eyeing her injuries. No telling what was going through this poor mans mind.
Suddenly, the mans watch beeps and he curses in Irish. "Teds waiting for me…" He mumbles. "Probably scared to death poor thing…" He whispers.
"I suppose… I could but I don't think I'll be able to stay.. I'm making my way up towards Seattle, there's suppose to be a quarantine up there it's the closest one too us. " she said clutching the first aid kit.
Cathal nods. "Ok…cool. Follow me then. Teds gonna be happy to see you. That's for sure." He chuckles as he walks home. "Did…you have any pets? Before all this?"
Azra followed after him lifting her shirt just enough to look at her wound before looking up when asked a question. "I have a dog… ace, I left him in an old abandoned apartment building about a mile and a half away he's got food and water… I couldn't take him with me in case I didn't make it to supplies fast enough… I gotta get back to him soon though. '
Cathal smiles. "Oh? What breed is he? Teddy's golden retriever and German Shepard." He sighs as he makes his way to a fence in a clearing and he grabs some bleach. "Those things hate this stuff. So they can't ever get in here if I cover my scent with it."
"He's a blue nosed pit bull, I found him a few years ago before all this shit happened, raised him from a puppy, I hate leaving him alone but I couldn't risk both our lives on the off chance I didn't make it. "
She nodded her head in agreement at the mention of bleach "yeah.. I haven't been able to get my hands on any, the shelves of damn near every store have been emptied completely. "
"Heh…not where I am. Look around. This is an army base." He motions to the equipment. "I gotta bunker here." He walks to a bunker and unlocks the door. He's then immediately greeted by a very happy looking dog.
"Teddy! Hey boy! Did you miss me? I got you treats!" He laughs.
Azra followed him, not once letting her guard down on the off chance that this was a trap, watched the dog closely, she didn't know if he had noticed her but she'd taught ace to attack, so this man could have as well.
After Teddy was done getting all his excitement out of Cathal, he moved to Azra. His tail wagged quickly and he politely sat down in front of her. Cathal seemed pleased with this and gently pet the dog. "Good boy." He mutters. He then looks to Azra, "This is Ted. He's my service dog. You can pet him if you'd like." He smiles warmly.
Azra looked down at the dog and a small smile appeared on her lips.
She looked up at cathal as he spoke to her and bent down to pet the dog "well it's nice to mean you teddy, I'm azra."
Teddy panted heavily, then nuzzled into her hand. His fluffy tail thumped onto the floor as it quickly wagged. He definitely seemed very happy to have a visitor.
Cathal chuckled softly as he watched, seeming to relax as he gently pet the dog as well. “Good boy.” He murmured.
