Murasa: Land of the Greed King

"Tell me if you need help." Suki said, leaning back again and closing her eyes.

Nathan- You go ahead and rest.

After an hour, he managed to get another few feet into the mountain.

Nathan- Done...

His hands were cut here and there, bleeding a bit there, and were raw. He winced in the pain it had.

Suki looked up and smiled, then seeing his hands, her smile faded. She got up and walked over to him. "I'm sorry... I should've helped."

Nathan- Don't worry. I've done worse to them before. Ever stop a sword with your bare hands before?

"No." Suki admitted. "Well we have to at least wash the cuts."

Nathan- No worries. Cmon, lets go to the river.

He walked to the river and squatted near the riverbank. He started to wash off his bloody hands.

Suki jumped into the river and took one of his hands, rubbing it slightly. "Sorry if it hurts." She said as she cleaned it with the water.

Nathan- It doesn't. Don't worry, I'm tougher than nails. Probably more than the Avenger.

Suki looked at him and smiled. "Keep telling yourself that." She teased and looked back down. "You have some small rocks in this one." She said, "I need to take them out."

Nathan- Use your daggers, don't worry about me.

Suki pulled one of her daggers out and gently ran the tip of the blade inside his cut to get the rocks out.

(Gotta go soon but idk when.)

Nathan- Thanks...you've been a great help to me Suki.

"No problem." Suki smiled.

Nathan smiled as the last rock got out. He decided to climb into the water with her. He stayed against the riverbank and relaxed.

Suki put her dagger back and then took off the belt. She set it on the river bank.

Nathan- A lots happened today huh?

Suki nodded. "Yeah..." She then looked at her hands and the rest of herself. 'I need a bath...' She thought to herself. She looked over at Nathan. "I'm going to need you to go inside the cave for a while." She said.

Nathan- Hm? Whys that?

"Because I don't want you out here for a while." Suki said. "Now can you please just go inside until I say you can come out?"

Nathan- Yeah sure. Whatever you say.

Nathan got out of the water and headed for the cave.

"Good." Suki said and waited until he was inside. She turned around and pulled her clothes off, setting them on the bank. She sunk down so only her head was above water.

Nathan sat in the cave waiting for Suki to return.

Suki started to take a bath. She tilted her head back and got her hair wet.

Nathan sighed.

Nathan- Wonder whats taking her...I wonder if I should...nah...she said to wait here until she called for me.

Suki finished and got out to get her clothes on.
