his reaction is warranted , but causes her to jump a little in response anyway . only a second passes before she settles .
ʽ oh , so you 𝑎𝑟𝑒 alive after all . didn't mean to scare you . ʼ
stopping mid - step in passing by him , only to back track a few .
prods lightly at the side of his head with the backside of a pen , checking for life .
( this is probably the most expressive either one of them have ever been with one another . rouge showing genuine concern , miguel nearly dying from nutloss — there's something to be said about that , right .ᐣ )
( briefly at a loss & biting into her inner lip , rouge rushes to find a ziploc bag to put ice in before hurry back to offer it to him . )
good god . did it burst .ᐣ are you going to be okay .ᐣ 💦
( his groans of agony only deepen the realization that she not only kicked a man in the gonads at her full strength , but she also kicked her 𝐛̲𝐨̲𝐬̲𝐬̲ of all people . the embarrassment sets in & it's visible on her face . )
i'll be sure to keep the same energy the next time i do you a favor . thank you , jefe , for gracing me with enough of your energy to through a blanket at my head . 😒
( sigh . )
if this is what you consider far away , i'd be concerned for your safety .
why is it this cold in here , anyway .ᐣ
( pulling the blanket over her shoulders more properly . )
