Blood spilled around the ax as it nicked the man's foot the blonde screamed in shock and pain as [M/N] angled the ax under the beartrap mouth and with a firm and strong tug, it unhinged and opened. The blonde shrieked as he held his foot, but the swordsmen dug the broken katana into the last wolf as he angrily turned to the blonde. "I told you to watch where you fucking walk."

[M/N] pulled his ax away and wiped the blood from it as the swordsman without a sword bends down and helps the blonde. He held his side and threw his arms around his shoulder as [M/N] turned to leave but a loud growling snarl echoed and he turned to see the wolf with the broken katana poking out of its skull. It stumbled around before growling as its eyes locked onto them, advancing forward and into a leap in the air as the sun went down and darkness finally overshadowed them.

Before the wolf could make a meal, a loud sound of a bang echoed then a thump. [M/N] looked to see the wolf dead and laid there limply by his foot as he turned when he heard sticks being crunched on to see Periwinkle and how she was shaking but giggling like a mad man.

"I found the shotgun~"

"Good, let's go!" [M/N] shouted as he picked the light up as he led the injured two towards the campsite with Periwinkle carrying the shotgun. The fire is still blazing within the rocks and he throws the door open with his hand after throwing the ax. He sat the man on the table, as the silver-haired closed the door behind them and Periwinkle sat down at the passenger seat with the warm gun on her lap.

[M/N] moved to the back room, opened the door and the redhead didn't stir as he slept and he grabbed the medical kit. He left as the blonde was gasping and withering in pain, and turning pale as [M/N] slid the man's shoes off and sock that was soaked in blood. [M/N] quickly added pressure and the blonde howled in pain and the silver-haired snapped his focus to them quickly.

"Shut him up, this RV isn't sound proof." [M/N] orders as he reaches into the kit and feels for the plastic bottle and looks over it. Barely any in and took a deep inhale before he dumped the water over the cut, rubbing it in gently with a cotton ball as he kept pressure. The blonde went to scream but the silver-haired sword swinger quickly covered his mouth, shaking his head as the blonde wither on the table in pain. [M/N] watched the two before adding the last drops of neosporin onto the wound. It didn't seem too deep for stitches and he was glad for it, only because this blonde would literally sound the alarm.

[M/N] looked at the mess of blood and that was going to be a bitch to clean out. He applied Aranara bandaids over the cut then unrolled pink bandages, gently wrapping them around his leg until he finished it, cutting the part from the roll and tying it off. [M/N] looked at the mess before moving to the counter and opened it, his hands moving things around before pulling out old rags and a plastic bottle with a sprayer for the top with "bleach" on the front of it.

He starts cleaning as the silver-haired whispered a bit.

"I told you to watch where you went, all the time you get us into stupid shit."

"Oh, I'm sorry, next time I'll politely ask the bear trap."

"That would be alot better than stomping your feet and now unconvinced people."

[M/N] listens as he cleans up, glancing up a bit as he hears a soft smack. He watched as they still whisper harshly to each other but the silver-hair's hand was caressing along the blonde's arm, gently rubbing and the way they looked at each other. [M/N] could see the way their eyes spoke yet their actual mouths didn't speak. Truly some romantic shit, he could see the, "I'm here, I'm here with you" and "Thank you for not abandoning me, thank you, I love you".from their eyes.

More gays, cool

"I'm Periwinkle!" The girl caused all three to jerk a bit as she held the shotgun in her grasp, smiling ear to ear as she looked at them. "Sleeping in the back is Tartar!"

"What did I say about talking to injured people?" [M/N] sighs as he scrubbed.

"He asked for water and I told him to shove it." Periwinkle replied as she turned her gaze to the newer people, "As I said, I'm Periwinkle."

"Well..Periwinkle...it's lovely to meet you despite the circumstances," The blonde speaks as his eyes glanced at the weapon nervously, "I'm Kaveh." he nudged the silver-haired as [M/N] finished cleaning the floor and throws the rags into the trash before placing the bloody sock in there too then moving onto spraying some bleach on the shoe that the blonde had worn.

"Al-Haitham." The stranger named Al-Haitham replied as Periwinkle smiles before nodding. Kaveh and Al-Haitham, Kaveh and Al-Haitham, Ka-

"What were you two doing walking out at night?" [M/N] asked as he looked at the two, standing up, "Especially in bear trap hell."

"We left because our station was overrun by infected-WAIT!" The blonde said as his eyes narrowed at [M/N] who waited with a raised eyebrow, "You're not the one who set up the traps?" Kaveh asked, pulling his leg closer, "Right? Right?"

"I actually did because I like wasting good supplies on my soon to be dinner." [M/N] says with a roll of his eyes as the blonde shares the sentiment as he slowly releases his leg down.

"What's going on over there?" A voice pipes up from the back as [M/N] clicked his tongue, he nearly forgot that the Fatui agent was also in the RV. "Hello?"

"Nothing special, go back to bed." [M/N] called back out as he saw the time on the wall, the broken clock moving a bit.

"Anyway, any reason on why you abandoned your shelter? You two look mentally well from fleeing." [M/N] asked as he turned his attention to the two as Al-haitham eyes narrowed upon Kaveh as the blonde smiled a bit. He nudged him as the blonde scowled with a glare as Kaveh turned to [M/N].

"We left the Akademiya due to...creative differences." He says as [M/N] raised a brow. "Something we didn't want to be a part of." Kaveh continued.

"Is it the human testing for a cure under whatever old bag of dick and he claims this is for the greater good?" [M/N] asked curiously as checked the time and the fire. He moved to the closet by the back room and collected the items, two blankets and fancy christmas pillows he found and collected for Periwinkle but the girl didn't really need any more bed decor. He hands them both, as he pressed the unlock button. Kaveh yelped as the bed went down and [M/N] pressed the booth chairs back. It converted into a full bed and he nodded to it, "You two can sleep there. Just don't fuck on it."

"Thank you." Al-haitham said as Kaveh frowns, cheeks flushed as he goes ahead fixing their bed. "We should be out of your hair soon, we just need a place to stay."

"I really don't care if you leave or stay, at this point we're collecting people like some collector." [M/N] said with a shrug as he yawned, he reached and pulled the shotgun out of Periwinkle's hands and the girl complained a bit. "Uh-uh-uh, bedtime."

"But Papa.." She continues and [M/N] shakes his head as she groans dramatically and moves to the front seats, and hits the button that moves the passenger seat back all the way as she grumbles. [M/N] shakes his head as he feels a casing still in the gun before moving to the door, unlocking it.

"I'll sleep outside, just get ready to run if you hear me shooting." He told the new members before leaving, shutting the door behind him. He hears shuffling but not a scream and he sighs as he looks over the fire growing low and the wire with cans, locks and some other pieces of metal jungle twinkling and clicking with little breezes coming by. [M/N] kicked open his sleeping bag as he slowly smooths out the bag on the ground, enjoying the sound of the fire crackling softly. He looked at the fire as he dumped some branches into the pit as fire began to eat it up. His mind focused elsewhere for the moment as he slowly lay back and glanced up at the night sky.

Some trees looked beautiful but hid the night sky which was disappointing.

[M/N] also wonder who was running the Akademiya now that their best architect of defense and high level scribe was gone from their places. Maybe they turned fully homophobic and they ran away together? Or maybe [M/N]'s bounty finally hit the Akademiya and the two were lying about leaving their second shelter to be almost eaten by mutated wolves?

He liked the first thought better.

Besides maybe things changed and they no longer felt at home? It's been a long while since [M/N] was even acquainted with any greenery slaves of the book, those assholes. [M/N] runs the iron-stamped numbers under his hairline, feeling them before closing his eyes slowly as the fire burns beside him and the soft howls of the wind coming passed as he slowly falls asleep.

He had hope they find better directions in the morning.
