On Our Own, Together <3 (Accepting!)

[Probably A Lion]

Kaitlyn glanced past him, raising her camera up with one hand and taking a photo of a cat in the bushes. She then looked back up at him, being a few inches shorter.

[rothbart.]

He turned to see what she had captured on camera, a cat. Probably stray. It reminded him of his, despite the difference in colour. He couldn't help but smile then, a fan of any and all cat he would happen to see.

Kaitlyn lowered her camera. Suddenly at a loss of words she put her hands back in her pockets and picked at her sleeve,thinking.

[rothbart.]

Turning back to her, he got a glance at her bad hand before it was sent into her pocket. His heart skipped a beat and he stammered, "K-Kaitlyn, your hand-" Crap, I really did get her into trouble, I'm terrible, crap, what if that's not all she's hiding, CRAP. He was familiar with things like this, having experienced slight cases himself. If his guesses were correct, the process went a little like this: kid does something to piss off already angry parent, angry parent does something drastic, kid, not wanting to hurt their friend, hides the result and/or denies everyhting.

Kaitlyn sighed, lifting her hand from her pocket and looking at it. "Its nothing." She said though she had to admit it hurt. Hvaing pulled the wood splinters from her hand it wasnt as raw as it could have been, but it was still dark red across it and pretty swelled up around the cut. "Trust me, worse things have happened."

[rothbart.]

His voice was soft and filled with worry when he spoke. "What happened? Did you put anything on it? God, that looks terrible..." Wonderful, he had another person's misfortune to blame himself for. Even before getting any answers, he was mentally scolding himself for whatever happened.

[Probably A Lion]

"Ice. And trust me, alot worse has happened. Dont worry." Though it felt nice to have someone truly care about her, worring if she was okay. She closed her hand before putting it back in her pocket. She looked up at him. "Its fine." She said, looking directly into his eyes before looking away.

[rothbart.]

Yep, it was just the case. "I can't believe that, you know I can't. nything that can look like that can't qualify for 'fine'." He locked eyes with her, a grim seroiusness in his eyes. He hadn't thought to cover his left eye, the odd colour difference just adding to the feel of the stare.

Kaitlyn shifted her feet nerviously,normally she had been so good at hiding things like that. She ouldnt seem to drop the gaze, " Its nothing, trust me." She said, though she knew he wouldnt take her work for it.

[rothbart.]

It was a lost cause trying to convince her that her injury was something to worry about. His expression switched from the hard stare to a softer, caring gaze. The only element of the old expression left was the worry. "Could you at least tell me what happened?"
