"Water. Im assuming you dont have a flask of alcohol on you, but if you did, thatd be great. Otherwise, just water." She took his shirt and managed not to gawk at him, tearing the shirt into thick strips. "Oh, and a stick."

"Unfortunately I have neither. But there should be a cabin somewhere nearby, can't get too far without finding one and knowing the sanctuary people theres probably alcohol there." He said as he stood up and walked around for a moment picking up a stick to hand to her quickly.

"I love you, Keith, but bite this stick cause this is gonna hurt like hell." She grasped the shaft of the arrow while Keith was temtaticely biting the stick. "3... 1!" She pulled the arrow out and tossed it aside, wrapping his leg with the strips of shirt quickly and tying them up, while Keith was still yelling bloody murder. She ended up using his whole shirt, before tying it with the vine. "Alright, thats as good as it gets." She sighed, grabbing the stick and chucking it into the woods. "You good, kid?" Keith grunted. K "Just wonderful, thanks."

Ethan pulled his knees up as he sat nearby, watching the whole thing. Slightly paler than before, looked away at the ground, fidgiting with a bracelet on his bicep. He looked at Zeus, who was stretching on his back. Trying to work out the tired.

"Since you look ready to slice me in half, im gonna give you a second to cool off." Keith nodded and sat up, sighing and trying to settle himself down. Asta walked over to sit beside Ethan. She touched the bracelet lightly. "Whats this?" She ran her finger over the material and tilted her head up at him.

He glanced at Keith for a moment, then at Asta as she sat my his right side- which had the bracelet. It was a strip of dyed black leather with black string tied around every inch with two strings that were tied to not let it be undone or ripped off, only loosened. "Rome made it for me. Has Zeus' and I names on the inside."

"Thats sweet." She ran her finger over the bracelet for a few moments. She moved to intertwine her fingers with his and sat in silence, staring at Zeus. "You're a really great person, Ethan. I don't know where I'd be without you." She said it quietly, so Keith couldn't hear.

Ethan looked at his hands. "You'd probably still be safe at the school with some other guy; without an injured sibling." He shrugged, his voice matching her softness, feeling slightly overwhelmed and definitely guilty even if none of this was his fault.

|
"No, id still be lured out here, just with some less brave, less handsome, less amazing guy. And my siblings wouldnt be injured. Theyd be dead." She reached up and tilted his chin. "Look at me."

He tipped his head to her, putting a hand on hers gently. "Why must I look at you?" He captured her gaze, her eyes kinda felt like a trance.
