He didn’t answer right away as he looked back to see if the man who had shot at her had followed them. A sigh of relief escaped the thief upon seeing no one and he hugged her tightly, a soft smile on his lips. Why the man had tried to shoot her, he didn’t know.
He didn’t really care to know.
He was just happy the bullet hadn’t hit her.
Kid realised that she probably wouldn’t want any blood getting on her, so he pulled back, though he kept his hands on her shoulders. Red was starting to become evident on his white suit, coming his side. Thankfully it hadn’t hit anywhere more troubling, but he would still need to get it looked to soon…
“Is it so strange to protect someone you care about, Aoko-ojou?”
“Alright..I’m believing you..” was all she said before leaving the thief alone. Some minutes later she got back with a first aid kit. “Kid..I’m back… Please undo your jacket and shirt…I want to take care of your wound now..”
The thief watched her go, the smile falling from his face when she was no longer in sight. He went over and slid down a wall nearby, grimacing slightly as the injury protested against the movement. He was close enough that she could easily find him when she came back, but hopefully out of the way enough other people wouldn’t really notice..
When Aoko did return, he looked up, a grateful smile coming up again. Kid did have to pause before nodding and letting his hands move to start doing as she requested. It… felt more than a little odd to expose any part of himself while like this, but this would be necessary…
Getting the clothes open didn’t take too long, and he carefully pulled the fabric off and away from the injury, pushing it off to the side for her to get to.
