Eshe hugged the bag to her chest, filled with fresh bread, apples and some cheese. She had been shopping and splurged and wanted to share her wonderful breakfast with her Sita. She hadn't seen him in a few days and she was desperately lonely and wanted to tell him all about the beautiful centaur she had met and get his advice on making him notice her.

Heading over to the barn he stayed in, Eshe paused at the ladder he used and pawed at the ground, calling up, "Siiiita! Eshe is heeeere! Come eat with Eshe! Wake uuuup! Sita?"

Rhindeer

"Uhngh."

At first, that was the only sound Sita could muster. Just a low groan, his head throbbing with each syllable. While Sita normally adored Eshe, right at that moment all he really wanted to say was shut up, because the sound of her voice--any sound, really--was grating. His head ached like it had been bashed repeatedly with a--oh wait, it had been bashed repeatedly--and his arm throbbed and, basically, pretty much everything hurt.

But he knew Eshe wouldn't take no for an answer because Eshe would not be ignored. So after several minutes of just laying there, hay poking through his clothes and hair and prickling against his skin, he finally pushed himself up into a sitting position and leaned over the loft. His bruised belly protested against the movement.

"Well, if it isn't my beautiful jungle flower," he said with a groggy wave and a tired grin down at her.

Sita looked like something the cat had dragged in, one side of his spiky hair matted down and dried, flaking blood all down his temple and neck. He looked like he hadn't gotten much sleep--or that what sleep he'd gotten had been less than restful--and he moved stiffly. "Whatcha bring me?"

All the words Eshe was going to say died and she let out a shriek, stepping back in a flurry of hooves and stamping, hands fluttering around her mouth, "SITA! OH SITA WHAT HAPPENED!"

She hated that she couldn't get to him, making small distressed noises, her eyes tearing, "Oh Sita! Are you okay?!"

Rhindeer

Sita winced at Eshe's shrieking, the sound not helping his head any, and lightly touched his temple to soothe it. "A horse thief happened," he answered blandly, and his smile abruptly twisted into a scowl. Right. He'd lost a good mare over it, too. He cursed under his breath and crawled toward the ladder.

"Might've gotten in a bit of a tussle over it. Looks worse than it is. Heads. They're bleeders." Though as he moved, he knew that was a lie. Sure, he wasn't badly wounded, but he probably had a concussion, judging by the way things moved even when he'd stopped. Fuck. That was the last thing he needed. He had work to do and a bloody thief to track because that lying bastard was not gonna get far with her!

He paused at the top of the ladder, stared blankly down at Eshe for a moment, and then blinked to clear his head and let out another loud curse, lifting his arm and staring at the wound as though noticing it for the first time. "The fucker bit me! He actually bit me. The hell?"

Sita didn't get through most of that before Eshe was sobbing her eyes out, pacing under the ladder. Violence of any kind upset her, never having gotten used to it, even with the years she spent trading.

And now her adored Sita was wounded and bleeding and she didn't know what to do and she hated it and she hated him being in pain. For once, the tears weren't loud, attention grabbing bawls, but quieter, much more real tears.

Rhindeer

...Oh no.

Now he'd gone and made her cry. And this wasn't her usual cry, which alarmed him. This wasn't the dramatic, attention-seeking wails, but quiet, really upset tears, and her response, when he'd been expecting the usual hysterics, made his stomach twist unexpectedly. With another groan, Sita hauled a leg over the side of the ladder, steadied himself, threw the other leg over, and started a slow, wobbly climb down. He wasn't quite sure how he'd made it up there in the first place, having only a fuzzy, pained recollection of making his way back here, but if he'd climbed up there, he could damned well get himself down.

Hay sticking out of his hair and clothes, Sita somehow managed to reach the bottom and turned to face Eshe. He reached for her hesitantly, not quite sure how to handle real tears. "Wha? Eshe, what's wrong? Uhh..." Maybe the blood scared her? She never seemed to like that. "Sorry, I shouldn't have said nothin'. Gimme a sec, I'll clean up, alright?"

Sita only had to climb a small way down before Eshe could reach him and she plucked him off the ladder, hugging him close. She couldn't talk for a moment, sobbing into his hair, scared and upset and panicked from her inability to get to him.

He was her Sita, her closest friend in the world and someone had hurt him, beaten him until he bleed. Once she was calm enough to speak, she started to examine Sita's wound, horrified, "Oh Sita! What happened?! Who would hurt my Sita like this? Eshe will get you to a healer right away!"

Rhindeer

Sita made an 'oof' sound when Eshe plucked him up and hugged him, his bruised belly protesting, but he ignored the discomfort as best as he could and returned her embrace, petting her back. It was always a little weird how easily she could pick him--a grown, tall, built man--like he weighed the same as a small child.

Well, damn, it was official. He felt like an asshole for getting beaten.

...Guess next time he just better not lose.

"Shh, Eshe, love, it's alright. I'm fine," he said, reaching up to wipe at her tears. "C'mon, now, it's alright. It looks worse than it is. Really!"

"No!" Eshe's voice was choked with tears, already marching off. Her safe, happy world felt shattered and Sita had always been so strong and brave and invulnerable to her. She sniffled, trying to control her tears as she wove her way past people, not caring what this looked like.

Her Sita was hurt and she was going to make it better.

Rhindeer

"Uh, Eshe...?"

Now this was just awkward. And what was worse? People were staring, because it wasn't everyday that a topless okapitaur walked down the street carrying a grown man. Grimacing, Sita squirmed a little. "Eshe, I can walk."

"No!" Eshe hugged him tight again, not wanting to let him go. She was still panicky, skittish as she made her way through the crowd, "Eshe isn't letting anything happen to her Sita!"

Rhindeer

Sita made an "oof" sound when Eshe hugged him tight again and pried at her arms, still feeling incredibly awkward. If there was one person in the world who could make him feel thus, it was, hands down, Eshe. The girl had a gift.

"Uh...sweetness? Not so tight." His belly was still smarting, bruised and sore.

"What? Oh! Eshe is sorry!" Tears formed again, the okapitaur panicked and upset. She picked up her pace and luckily, people have the good sense to get out of the way of a massive okapitaur. She reached the house she had been looking for and knocked loudly on the door, "Hello? Eshe needs some services!"

Rhindeer

Sita struggled a little longer, but then finally gave up and resigned himself to his fate. There was no sense fighting it once Eshe got into a mood like this, so it was best to just let it play out as it would. With a sigh, he went limp, though he really wanted to just curl up and sink down into the earth. Hopefully no one recognized him.

Even though Eshe fell into a completely different category for Sita, something different from male and female and human but not quite, a completely different level that had no translation and no explanation, it was no less embarrassing to be babied like this. He was used to doing everything himself, on his own, taking care of himself. And though this wasn't the first time, he would likely never get used to this.

He hunkered down when Eshe called for help, and the door swung open, revealing a middle-aged man--who didn't really notice Sita at all, because he was too busy staring wide-eyed at Eshe, mouth hanging open in a greeting that never quite left his lips.

"Oh...hello..."

Eshe thrust Sita forward, her face streaked with tears and utterly ignored the shocked look on the man's face, "Help Sita!"

The man gestured for her to set Sita down, still staring more at Eshe than at Sita, "Uh...what exactly is the problem here?"

Rhindeer

As soon as he was seated, Sita sank his face into his hand and closed his eyes. "Nothin' I needed to be here for," Sita mumbled, thoroughly embarrassed. He just wanted to go home and sink into a stupor. Was that so much to ask?

He cracked an eye open and saw the healer staring at him in puzzlement. Right, he probably looked like he should be here, considering the blood caked to the side of his head and smeared down his neck. He decided to elaborate.

"Got into a fight. Would rather be sleepin', but my friend there decided I should be here," he said with a low sigh. "Looks worse than it is."

"Well, let's get you cleaned up and that wound looked at, then we can decide. It's often not a good idea to sleep after a blow to the head." The healer gestured to his table and Eshe carefully set Sita down before backing away, pacing nervously.

The healer brought over a bowl of warm water and went to work.

Rhindeer

Sita rolled his eyes, but he sat through it--with a fair amount of complaining, because he still didn't see the point and it didn't seem like a big issue to him. Before too long, it was done, a foul-smelling salve applied to his head and his bite treated and dressed, because it apparently had been bad enough to require attention. Bah.

As soon as the doctor announced he was finished, Sita was on his feet--if a little wobbly. "Alright, so are we done now?"

Eshe's lower lip trembled, watching Sita nervously, "I-is Sita alright now? Eshe has been so worried." She fidgeted, stepping lightly and her hands tugging at her braids, "Please don't be mad at Eshe."

Rhindeer

Oh spirits. She was gonna cry. However pissy Sita had been feeling, it flew right out of his head as soon as he laid eyes on her trembling lip. The last thing his head needed was an Eshe-fit.

That, and he just felt like a giant dick whenever he made her cry, indirectly or directly.

He quickly launched into tantrum-prevention mode.

"Wha? Oh, no, Eshe! Sita's not mad! Not mad at all!" he said, and quickly crossed the distance so he could hug her. "In fact, I feel much better now! Thanks! That was really...the pick-me-up I needed." He grinned up at her despite his headache.
