Chapter Text
The risen general rushes Kjelle with an axe, and she tries to back up to stab with her spear, but it’s easily knocked out of the risen’s way. Kjelle raises her shield, but this is one of the craftiest risen she’s ever faced, and it cuts low across her shin, easily crushing the armour and leaving a huge, bloody gash. This attack leaves the risen exposed, though, and Kjelle can instantly respond with a downward stab from her spear, piercing its armour and killing it with a billow of smoke. Kjelle kneels to the ground, leaning on her good leg to expose the wound. It’s not too deep, but it’s really bloody. As long as no one notices it, she can just walk it off.
“ARGH!”
“Huh?”
She looks up to see her wife sprinting towards her at mach speed, a combination expression of anger and worry sullying her usually beautiful face. Kjelle couldn’t help but smirk thinking that she already does that enough just by herself, sneering constantly. Kjelle smirk only worries Severa more, could she be suffering from blood loss? Severa screeches with concern
“Look at that gash, Kjelle! Can't you take care of yourself for me?”
“Wipe that frown off your face. I'm stronger than any woman you could find.”
“That doesn’t mean you can try to walk off bleeding to death!”
Severa has an honest expression of concern, peering down at her with eyes narrowed, attempting to not cry. Kjelle is hopped up on adrenaline, though, not even feeling the pain yet, and tries to stand up. She’s forced back down by Severa, who is ripping up her own shirt to dress the wound. Kjelle replies with vigor
“I’ll walk it off, it wasn’t even that deep. ”
Severa begrudgingly has to agree, it’s not a terrible cut, but she just can’t stand Kjelle constantly running into danger. She finishes up the bandage and lets out a frustrated sigh, glaring at Kjelle, who immediately stands back up again. Severa tries to look as stern as possible at her wife while saying
“I can’t stop you from fighting, but you’re staying behind me! I WILL NOT let you get hurt again!”
“Fine.”
Kjelle tried to sound as fed up as possible, but secretly smiles behind Severa’s back. She’s absolutely adorable when she gets this into something, and being the object of her affections just makes Kjelle’s heart sing.
